Richard I nearly cried last night I had Pocket 10-10 Flop wasA-A-10My oppentent raised I then went all in . Thought I got this GET in FH on the flop BUT THEN !! I see there cards they had A-10 Fair to say my chin hit the ground
I would Always Call on small blind no matter the cards But this did make me lose alot when it came to bigger blinds so Ive stopped doing it and so far this year Ive been doing alot better *whitebeen*
When ever i use to play online poker I would have my snacks. sweets ,chocalte and crisps ready by my side . however I did seem to lose a lot and play stupidly THEN I was eating fruit 1 day when playing and came 1st in tournment ever since its bye bye snacks HELLO fruit and I have been playing so much better
Looking forward to tonight, won a seat in Tuesday's show so playing the main event, woo!
What did I do a lot of in 2014 that I've so far not managed in 2015... er, made profit! Seriously, 1st January came and it seems like I can't win a thing. That's going to change tonight though!
In 2014 I would play just one table. Since the new year I have decided to try out playing a few tables rather than just the one and have found that i would concerntrate more as there is more going on and play tighter as more hands are being played, which has resulted in me playing better poker and not losing as much as I was, happy days!
Bit harsh on Gateshead, considering they played West Brom off the pitch for 40minutes and it took a lucky goal + an awful free kick decision for the floodgates to open against a non league side. Sick bragz, but then again you baggies have nothing to shout about :-)
2014 took my cash stakes a step too far playing 2 nl 40 +3 nl30
so far this year I've played 4 nl30 during the after noon and in the evening played 8 nl20 at once where I know their is lots of fish and less aggression
Question for Ross (or you Rich if you feel brave!) from last nights £2.5k BH.
Long story short in one hand it comes to the river and myself & the player on my left have a pair of Aces. I have a 5 kicker & he has an 8. Now I thought he would win the pot outright due to his kicker but the pot was split due to us both having a pair.
About half an hour later on the river on another table myself and the player on my right both have 2 pair (Aces & 4s). Now he has a J kicker & I have a 10. He won the pot due to the kicker, but following on from the previous example I thought the pot would be split due to us both having 2 pair?
I thought I had this poker business figured out but this has caught me out to be honest? Could you explain please?
Talking about new years resolutions, I decided no one ever keeps to them. So almost 10 years ago now I gave up smokingYmy 4th attempt) on Feruary the 1st instead. I am still a non smoker.
Was there a tactical mistake/leak in your game you kept making in 2014 that you’re pleased to report you’ve stamped out your game so far in 2015?
No,!! This year i have already developed a new leak! Do not let your dog out during your big blind (because of barking to go out) and rush back to make up any small raises from early position to find out you have called some ones all in from late position! My A/9 no good v AA. Always check players bets!! i hit my 9.

PS Well played for your play last night Mr stopped clock
Early doors came from when pubs used 2 close in the afternoon and reopen in the evening, hence early doors.
Allthe best.
