Managed to take down a £30 DYM while it was going though, so still heading in right direction.
Dont like BHs much but went in £850 and ran well taking a few heads including a double of shorties with 9s.
Arrived at final table short but fighting and laddered up to 4th, then my QQ shove was called and beat by AQ.
So ended day £140 up. Not bad but not good enough if Im not working. If I could do it every night it would be okay but its not as easy as it used to be.
Went to bed thinking should I buy some decent kit to seriously multitable, sharpen up my cash game and join the grinders !
Logged on this afternoon to read some forum comments, and spotted what looked a soft £30 DYM.Played tight as usual but when down to 4 players,button shoved with AK and found JJ. I hate starting any day with a loss ! !
No decent daytime tournys so thought I would have a look at cash tables. No easy 50nl about, some good names like Sam and Boonicon on every table with decent stacks. Played two tables for about half an hour and managed to isolate a couple of less known shortstacks to get my £30 back while avoiding the big boys.
So its Primo for me tonight,gl guys. Just had phone call offering a few days work in Germany next Wednesday,think a break from the game will do me good.
Nice result Kenny!
Had a wonderful day at DTD. Slept for the first 8 Levels, then mangled a move as bad as it was possible to mangle it. Why did I give him a free card? I'd re-raised him Pre with K-4, but he was never passing his Tens on a Q-J-9 flop, whoops.
Then got moved to a Table with an obnoxious drunken sort - Jakally described him as AGAD.....
Grinded away, squeezed for England, & as I have such a nitty image, nobody ever called me.
188 runners, 18 got paid, but I busted 19th, hey-ho. I was thinking of waiting another orbit, by when the Bubble may have burst, but I decided to gamble, & in went my 2xBB. Reckless, or what?
A great day, played from 3pm until 1am, then had a meeting with Nick, who is Rob Yong's partner, to discuss some business.
Next Live Poker - Luton, next Sunday. All are welcome!
Tuesday.
Exited VERY early in the Hold Em, trying to mop up chips, but I got mopped up myself.
Not much better in the Omaha, when I flopped a whopping draw & bet it hard, but my man - I think his name was Mr Limpet - refused to let go, so an embarrassing double early exit.
Spent the next hour or so Railing the Tables, huge fun, the TKO is a bit special. And we won......
Then Railed the TP-ers, before switching to "tikay1" & sitting down for a bit of relaxing Omaha cash before bed.
A Gentleman who I had not seen before arrived, with a most eccentric game. He clearly knew what he was doing, but was uber aggro & a super-Lag. He just kept his foot hard to the floor & bet everything, every street. So, how to catch him? Patience was the key, after Passing again & again, I managed to ramp my £50 into £150. That'll do for now.
Just as I was about to leave, one of our regular, & most successful Omaha players arrived, & HE is ultra aggro, too. So I stayed to watch the fireworks.
Mr Newbie hit EVERYTHING & it was a bloodbath. I left 20 minutes later, when Mr Newbie had turned his last Pull-Up (he'd had three) into over £400!
Welcome aboard, Sir!
As to the virtues of Live Poker, you & me too - it's wonderful. Where was it? - Grosvenor Cardiff, Aspers Swansea?
I had a pleasant evening on the Omaha Cash Tables, & in the 8pm Main, nothing spectacular, lost about £8 I think. Not bad for 4 houirs entertainment.
No poker for me tonight, as I'm doing the two Live Shows, & tomorrow, I'm probably going to play at Luton, in their £100 Freezeout jobbie, which is a nice & relaxing Sunday evening Comp.
See you again on Monday.
Firstly I entered the 7pm orfordable and got knocked out in the second hour due to my very bad play, secondly I entered the 8pm double stack, well that went down like a lead balloon, AK third hand in, flop comes A9K, I dumped in a big raise only to be re-raised, so I shoved all-in, villain shows KQ, J on the turn, 10 on the river, villain wins straight to the ace.
Thirdly I entered the 8.18 deepy which is one of my favourites, but sadly I was ousted in the second hour. Well that just left the £1500 Bounty Hunter which I had satellited into earlier. I had taken this one down just over a week ago so I was full of confidence. Not much happened in the first hour but I was still in (which is always a good thing) second hour after a slow start, I went on a run of pocket Pairs, seamed I was getting one every other hand so I put them to good use. Finally after a long hard slog and a little bit of luck I was on the final table. I finished Fourth - Result below
Then went onto to play holdem 5p/10p table brought £20 to the table lost most of that pretty quick had 78 i think on a a78 flop the guy called with aj trun j river a. I decided to quit the cash, I was playing bad and things just wanst going my way.
So i looked at the stt's and joined a £22 dym. I knocked someone out pretty quickly, to nicely double up, and then knocked the 2nd person out so had a big chip lead and was sitting comftable. The shorty was going all in everyhand and I ended up doubling him up twice but managed to get 2nd in the end and to win the money back I lost at cash.
Called it a night after that i'd only have gone to hgiher stakes and the way i was playing id have lost all my money.
In a skittles tournament tongiht at my local gonig pub at 6, I cant play when ive had a drink so if you see me online tonight do me a favour and tell me to go to bed (yeah right you'll take me for everytihng i got lol).

At last back to proper winning ways after a bad ish day on the cash tables luck still not great but hey started of really well in primo until..... qq utg raised 3 x bb the sb the shoves leaving me with very little so in it goes he shows A 8 O/S LOL sure enough regulation ace flopped and that was that so off to £1000BH chance my arm well long and short it was good and i WON it yes gg me lol 274 quid later happy bunny plus a 55 dym to boot a good day all in all
Had a good saturday.....got 4th outta 82 in the soccer sat MTT for £41.00.
I also got 37th (my highest finish to date in the open so far) for £34.05.
Just got brought back down to earth though in tonight's 5.5k B/H. My KK busted by 66!!! finishing 166th. You play solid poker for over an hour then the poker gods fall out with you big time!!
How was it for me last night?
So bad, I can't remember it. But it was a bleurgh night, nothing went right, though I pulled a bit back in the 25-50 Omaha cash late on.
Tonight, it's TKO, followed by theTKO Party Tourney.
[ ] Easy night in prospect.
A better night.
Ran quite deep in the weirdly structured TKO - I actualy LIKED that Format, just for a laugh - and barely won a hand in the TKO Party Tourney.
I then moved across to my own Account, & had half an hour of 25p-50p Omaha, & ran my Buy-In up from £50 to £85 without ever risking my stack or getting all-in. No flips, no gambling, just picked my spots on an aggro Table, played defensively, & let them bet into me. Very tired though, & gave best at 11pm & took an early night.
The TKO nights are extremely tiring, as you gotta do all the Posts & Threads, & then, whilst playing, get the player Spreadsheet Open, work out who is playing who, answer a zillion questions, & do the Live Update thread, which ran to 125 Posts in 2 hours last night.
A pleasing evening overall, made a small profit, & Team tikay gave itself a shot at winning the deciding Leg of TKO by getting a 1-2.
A good night as i have not been playing on Sky for a while. Came on to play the TKO (wouldn't miss that one) and cashed 4th for £25 - Then played the £4.40 £200 GTD and came 2nd in that for another £44 so the bankroll went from £0.15p (some odd amount i had left lying around in the account for some reason) to £69. Going to play the Sat into the main event tonight and see if my MTT form can hold. A decent cash in the OPEN and i wouldn't have to redeposit when i want to start playing again lol
TKO structure was fun, a fine art into timing blind changes to go DOWN when they hit you. By the end i just had to put the last of it in with 10 - 4 and donate to a fellow Tikayer (i think it was knackersya) as the blinds were 2/3rds of my stack lol - A Good Game and good fun though - Think we've done enough to take this series as well
Nice one AcesOver, well done you.
Now STAY here!
Won a couple of £10 hu tournys, out played myop first one he asked for rematch i gave it and got incredibly lucky in the 2nd, my A6 suited all in pre flop v his aq flop 66X.
Played a couple of mtt's and did real bad untill the £2.30 bounty hunter, which I think started @ 4. Played solidly throughout untill the final table. I was chip leader 6 left and 5 get paid, I looked down at qq put a big raise in 2nd shortest stack goes all in, I call he has kk and all of a sudden im short stacked. I didnt bubble managed to get 5th for small money. Never won a mtt here really thoguht that was gonig to be my first, would you guys of called?
