Another night, Another Profit
though only the poker gods know how this time - Played Cash like a donkey and dropped so many buy ins it was just not funny - managed to pull myself together in the last 2 hours play to turn a profit
did play well in the MTT i played last night though so happy with that - Entered a £200 or £300 GTD MTT and got another final table - Took 5th for just short of £19
Figures now stand at £506.10 plus the original £66 cash off - total £572.10
Sorry for anyone getting bored of my balance posts but oddly doing this each morning is helping me review and focus my mind for the next session, kind of cathartic i suppose you'd call it
Nice to see somebody running well and not complaining.
Well done, keep it up!
This week it's been, a 1st, a 2nd and a shared 1st with woofy, in the Orfordable. (she said I could claim half of it). Clawed the chips back in the H2H only to go out with KJs vs A2os ..... arrrggghhhhh!
To be fair, my inane ramblings are not everyone's cup of tea. In fact, Orford does not think they are anyone's cup of tea......he says I'm an "acquired taste".
I've left myself enough to keep playing but now comes the time to enjoy the fruits of ones labours lol
I lost about £20 in cash games last night which is fine but i was more bothered about my MTT's, only really got going in one and as i start to feel comfy with my game and i get slammed onto a table with TP_Sparce & Angie FANTASTIC lol !!! From a good position i end up losing one race against short stack shover with my PP and then spacre after sitting tight shoves on me for half my stack - I know he has a high ace or PP as he's sat so tight on the table but i'm holding queens in the SB and i'm happy to take it on. The cards turn, i'm right he has AK and then hits his king on a later street. My Stack now smashed from 2 races i exit shortly after. Going to concentrate on some more MTTs tonight and try and get my grove back.
Plopped in the Orford but cashed in the Open. Not big but a proft is a profit. Went card dead for quite a time then out in 42nd place.
YES YES YES YES............
(so much for my early night.....lol )
In second game I had 82k and get TT. CL has 130k and puts in a min raise to 6k. I raise it by 20k and he calls. Flop is 459 and he bets out, I raise him and he puts me allin. Was totally pot committed now so I called. He had 45 and hit 2 pair and I'm out. It was only a $160,000 tournament ........ sob sob sob.

Had a very enjoyable weekend in Luton, I love playing Live and it was great to play in such a great card room, very well organised at Luton. Friday night I entered the £75 Freezeout, 99 runners and made the Final Table along with 3 other sky players - Gibb, sharksbite and glitterbabe. I managed to cash in 8th for £220, unfortunatley as everyone was talking of a split play continued because nothing was agreed, I look down and see 99, and decide to push my stack in the middle to only be called by JJ, after Im out a deal is made - ah well, was happy with the money and would hae taken that at the beginning of the evening. Thought I played well and got away from A10 early on against Ben aka nutterwhen the board read AQA K - only lost 500 chips in total, decided to fold and put Ben on QQ KK, thankfully he showed his QQ and that boosted my confidence!!
It was a late night and didn't get to bed until 6am and was out of the hotel at 10am - not feeling great and having to play the Sky ME at 2pm - didn't go into this feeling great but played well early on, made a call for litreally my tournament life within the first 10 minutes when i had 7h 8h and board reading 858 9 10, made the right call thankfully and guy showed K5 - phew!! Got a few hands through without showing and was coasting well - that is until I moved tables and litreally couldn't make a hand - every play I made was counter acted by stacks who would push all in and my chips dwindlled - made a couple of wrong decisions in the end especially when I should have called a raise from SB to put me all in when I had 10 4 in the BB - would call that raise every day of the week with any two cards normally but I passed and I knew I wasn't in tune with the tournament after that and decided to get my moneyth 10 9 in the end against QQ, gg. Played some SNG's and loved it - met some really nice people through the event and also learned that Greghogg is a massive luckbox - he hit everything lol!! Managed to turn my Jh 5h into a flush against phil12uk's QQ - therefore I could go to bed happy
Well all did not end there, i did indeed cash some off but left myself enough to play. I had an odd ball weekend really. I got a 13th in the Open, i got 4th in a £500 velocity, Qualified For Primo Through A Sat so all good MTT Results - Played some cash, Won Some, Lost Some, Balanced out really
Primo was a nightmare - Getting some nice cards, making some raises, hitting boards, Boards turning flushy and staighty, having to lay down to re-raises etc. Took a stand about the 4th time this happened, I raise with Queens - Board Flops something like 4 7 10 Diamonds, i bet get raised shove with my queens to force out the flush draw or give the wrong odds and low and behold he's holding j 9 of diamonds for the flopped flush with draw to straight flush - GREAT lol
Finished the weekend with a profit so the new total goes from £550 at last post to £640
I woke up this morning to discover that she had won it.
Although I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to witness her hour of triumph, I can definitely say that it's given me more pleasure than any tournament that I have won myself.
pretty good day sunday started with a return to deepstack & won it then cashed in 1min roullette came 2nd in Omaha DYM then cashed in £120 speed and to round the day off came 6th & cashed in offordable dtw
Friday
Huge fun at Luton, in the £75 Freezeout, which had many of the Sky Poker players taking part. Made loads of new friends, peeps I only "knew" Online, & had a ball. Shared a Table with The Gibb, who is a top geezer.
Earlier, in Days Hotel, hooked up with a bunch of guys in the Days Inn Lounge - lJAMESl, Cottlad, Brownndog, Dylan12 etc, & we Railed the TP SNG. Once the SNG was finished, Ben, Dan, Naomi & sparce joined us, & we wandered across to the G.
A really enjoyable evening, I was utterly card-dead, but that did not detract from the fun. I think I exited about 40th or so.
I almost exited first hand. It was Raised up UTG - the very first hand of the Comp, so I had no take on the Raiser. I re-popped it hard to 550 with 10-10, & he flatted my Raise. Uh-oh, monsta?
It came 8 high, all diamonds, & he checked to me. My Tens were both black, but I bet out, & he re-raised BIG. Easy fold, but a bit surprised to see his hand - J-9 - of Diamonds! My quizzical look prompted him to say he only Called my re-Raise Pre because he wanted to bust me. Fair enuff......
