9th despite a bleeding arse!!

lost with AA AA QQ QQ all in pre, each time with the best hand
lost with AA vs KJ on K10xxJ,
lost with AA vs 106 on K106
lost with QQ vs AK on 889xA
lost with QQ vs A7 on xxxx4th club river he had Ac
eventual hand i knew it was cuming, wuda only put me to 4th in chips but i had over 6k and he bet to 1200, i was to over 6k and him being large stack obv calls and i knew J ws cuming cos the river fukin hates me.
9th for $22 in $10 HH. cud feel a win cuming but the site was against me since i kept teling it t go fuk itself with the rivers every time.
prob last time i get t play a decent torn till i go away so a pretty shitty ending to my poker year for 3 months, hoping to find a casino out there n go with sum mates which il hopefully bump in2.

could feel it coming...

Had come so close on 2 occasions in the last week. played the lunch time thunder yesterday for £2.25 about 195 started in a sixpac n i came 8th for only £8ish with winner getting £120. i shove K5 suited SB and bb wakes with 77, flop J1010 and turn A gave me plenty of hope for river but it never came. was only in it 50 minutes so wasnt that pist.
on the other hand i was pist with the previous £10 bounty. i came 11th for like £20 including heads when busted with QQ vs 77 to put me in 2nd chips going into FT.
so i was getting pretty close n sensed it would come. last nite came home after work and went in for $5 bounty, did nothing in that as was complete card dead so went in for £10 bounty which i enjoy and managed to ship 1st for total of £186.09. played a solid torn and had 2 crucial hands hold up, 3 handed 55 vs KJ and HU JJ vs 910h on 9c7h5h flop.
bit of a shit post considering it was a win but cant really b arsed rite now so may edit it later, neway lets hope the wins keep coming, only got 2 weeks left before i leave so every pound is welcomed.
so thats my 3rd willhill win, along with 3/4 2nds so its going pretty gud.
total profit so far from willhill is around £370 mark
gl to all

so close again...

went t casino on monday night, only 41 runners and felt the field was pretty soft. 5 of us went and 3 reached the FT, more importantly 2 made the top 3, unfortunately 1 of them wasnt me.
started off decent playing afew hands and taking down afew pots, ended at the break with 15k (starting 10k). was loving my table, we had the most banter and every1 ws really friendly. just after the break i gotmoved tables and started in the BB. was sure this was a sign of things to come.....and it was. ended up hitting full house vs lower fullhouse which i played like heaven and doubled up. doubled up again with KK vs QQ and was up around 60k going into the final table. i lost a hand KJ vs A8 and plumetted to 30k before getting it back with 88 i think?
anyway to cut a long nite short, i ended up busto to jon hes, me SB him BB no limpers n i get KJ. id normally raise here but cs it ws a mate i limped n saw a flop. it came K93, i check raised n he put me all in for my last few, he flops 93 n i go out in 6th for £15. ws sure id make top 4 min cs even FT was soft as dog shit.
played the $5 head hunter again l.nite and despite getting down to 900 with blinds 300/600 and 20 left i still managed to come 2nd for $119 total limp/shipping with 55 vs AK and losing. win that n i wuda had 95% of chips so all or nothing really.
still waiting for my first win in March but pretty sure it wont be to long. as long as the results keep coming im happy.

Saturday 8 March 2008

so close

after leaving £55 in my account after withdrawing £70 i managed to donk it all off, mostly playing stupid torns which i cdnt afford like $5k gtd for $27. and basically tilted off the rest in true willhill style so reloaded another £10
had a result tonight in the $5.50 head hunter.
i thort i ws gna crash n burn in 15th at 1 point when 4 no reason a guy bets half his stack (6k) with J9 in mid pos. i raise all in for 14k with QQ, he calls n flop J9x. down to 1.2k. i tripled up next hand A9 suited vs A7 vs KK and afew hands later doubled up vs J9 dude with AQ vs A3 all in pre on J973Q. wda bin fuming if hadnt hit.
down to final table i played fairly solid and with 5 left AA doubled up on button vs A5 and went in2 chip lead. HU i ws 3:2 dog but managed to get it to 4:1 with 400k to his 100kish with blinds 12/24k. he kept betting and showing AK/77/JJ/Aq meanwhile i was getting shit shit shit shit.
he pulled it bk to 1:1 with 73 vs my A4 and he went on to take it beating my A10 with KQ all in pre, hit Q.
i still managed to take 6 heads and 2nd prize for a total of $159.06 so around $150 profit. not a bad nites work.
been playing heaven live lately too. played last friday at a friends, just 6 of us n came 1st for £20 and came 1st/11 in TPT with sharks such as leknave and horneris for £25.

2nd willhill win, close to 3rd

not many torns on this morn at around 11 that i fancied so tried my hand at head hunter HU torn 64 entries. managed to ship for around £18 total from another £2 buying. nowt much to report really, it ran quite smooth and i just played gud. starting to get the hang of this winning lark tbf.
in another 2 as we speak 1 £2 with 75 runners, 20 left, and a $5 with 19 left. top 10 and top 5 cash respectively. lets see what i can do.


i was looking pretty in both with 12 left when the site crashes. then it came bk i donk off half my chips with big blind levels a guy calling my bets with K high all way, then push when folded round t me on button for 3k blinds 600 n run into AK bb. flop Q10x but no help turn or river. felt win no3 cuming aswel, so sick.
3 left and SB bets min, i ship with A8 n he calls with J8, his FD fails n its HU.
1 crucial hand rly HU h have J10 chekc all way KK8 flop x turn 10 river he min bet i raise he min raise i call he has K8.
final hand he has FD on flop he bets i call with 68 hopin t play on turn he bets again i ship n he finds a call for 15k n its all over, he wins final hand with 10 high in end. bit gutted but a 2nd from wot i went thru aint 2 bad. sleep time neway


was doin alrite on $5 FT, down to 7 n after doubling up 1010 vs 77 so around average stack. get AQ utg pop to 1500 blinds 600 next calls shorty pushes for 3 total both call flop J10x i chek he min i call t c, turn J he bets again n i fold. they both have A10!! y not 1 time fuk me lol. so im down to around 4k n manage t steel sum blinds t keep my head above water.
i then find AQ in bb, see MP pause then flat call, but decide t push neway. he insta calls n i think i knew it. he flips kk n i spike A on flop to go 3rd in ships. nly top 2 r safe tho with rest of us betweek 9-4k
6 left on bubble n big stack SB puts bb all in with KQ vs J8, J on flop with FD luks set t double up and when hits flush on turn, nly the 4th spade knoks him out n down t 5 n in the money.
1 more out getting called and runner runner flush n theres 4 left. i work my way to 2nd with 15k and play AA well vs big stack t get up2 22k, big stack on 29 and other 2 around 10k mark. with blinds at 1200 i feel in with a chance.
button push A2 runs in2 my AK and i take chip lead. limp with 910 suited flop A97 guy check i bet he call turn x he ships i call he flips J8 n cue the 10 river
i get down to 3rd nly just but then b4 break limp J6 SB and play 2 pair t perfection and back up2 joint chip lead. heads blagging and im nackerd but desperate 4 2 wins in a day 1st time, n my 3rd win in a week.
so i was looking at blogs and found http://ukgatsby.blogspot.com/ where he playd on willhill low limit torns which is something i wudnt mind getting back into, aslong as the buying werent 2 big cs i used t do alrite n aint played many torns since the big win. i used t play willhill wen i first started out online. won my first torn online there, £96 quid felt like the most money in the world when id racked up like £70 in the red and while earning like £9 a week on a paper round.
anyway i signed up again last week and deposited £20. on party its all in $ so i ws buying in for like 5 pound torn n 10 pound which i wdnt normally if it ws like 10/20$ n lost the 20. reloaded for 10 n decided t go for the 2.25 games. played 1 n came 22/150ish with top 20 paid. wasnt botherd bwt goin out there cs wntd t FT not just creap in for 40p profit shitp.
next day i played another n came 1st for £87 which was gud result/145. took out 70 n left myself £21 to play with. nice bit of pocket money neways.
stopt playing on party n just using it for footy bets rly n the odd game of partygammon just t piss bwt.
il try and report on any future results. lets hope i continue t ship 2,3,4 5 time!!!
also off t casino 2nite so will prob blog 2mro if i do nething. prob end up busto in 59/60th and ship £10,000 into slots for 0 profit.

review of the last few weeks

played for another 50 minutes today between shifts at work and about the same when i came home after my 2nd shift. im really enjoying cash, i used to hate it online but i love it now n beating it quite well. i would like the oppertunity to play more often but i dont kno that id keep playing as well and be constantly winning, or would just get bored n tilt hard easily.
just put my footy bets on for tuesday so hoping il do aswell as i did last week. put $23 on and got $94 back last week. would have got over $750 had blackburn beaten boro at home rather than drawn. ah wel.
on another note, im at my highest BR since withdrawing my 7.6k last year. i left myself $230 or so and got it up2 $420 before fucking it all off down to $20. managed to get that all the way back to $452 from around $100 in a couple of weeks or so. not bad for abit of side money since i only play afew hours a week.
todays profits +$55
cumilitive profits +$276

last few days

not played much poker last couple of days bcos tried t focus alot on my work but managed t get alil big in 2nite. pretty much dbled up 1st hand KQ button early bets i call, flop Q89, he bet $2.50 i call turn 4 he bets $2.50 again i call river is K he bet $2.50 again i raise to 8 he calls with K10? no i dont kno wot he ws thinking either.
on a non-poker front my footy bets av done alrite this wknd. $21 on and already got $75 back and needing a draw from liverpool vs villa to add another $70 or so to the fund. come good 1 time. wont be playing tomorrow bcos revising and working tuesday, hopefully play wednesday b4 i go t town at nite.
.25/.50 cash so far....+$191

Wednesday 16 January 2008

counting the cash

rite i kno since i won all that money in 300k gtd what im doing atm doesnt seem much at all but since im on a gap year making £5.60 an hour, winning 20-30 quid a day is a big help, especially with all the holidays and that coming up.
today i only played for around 30-45 mins 2 tabling $.25/.50 buying in for $15 and coming off both with a good return. i cashed out for just over $40 on 1 and just over $32 on the other giving me a profit of around +$42 which is gud init?
i dont really have many poker targets this year, except for t play good poker, mainly cash online and at home games and maybe go to casino once in a while, although to be honest last few times iv just got bumd n ended up wasting money on the awful floor games. so not too bothered about going back there anytime soon.
my lifes gna be pretty hectic for the next few months. got an exam next week, off skiing 1-5 feb, cumbria for the wknd with my GF and family and then hopefully skiing again for a week at the start of march before finally leaving for 3 months to other side of the world. what a life im living.
fuk knos how id afford all this without the $16,320, which i know without, id be living a bore working and hardly going out.
on another note i put abit of money on ronaldo to be top scorer when he had just come back at 12-1, now at evens and top scorer so far 3 goals infront of 2nd.
Anyway lets hope i keep running good!!!
profits last 3 days: +$176

Tuesday 15 January 2008

2008 so far

i havent played online or had the urge to for a very long time. i was working last night and a friend came in and told me about someone we both know who won £1200 on willhill then suddenly i just got an urge to play again.
i got home that night and couldnt be botherd playing a torn or stt so fired up some .25/.5 cash since id been playing it alot with my mates. i ended up in a 4 way all in with AJ on AJ10 flop. i prob wuda gotten away from it but i invested most of my money early in the hand and with 3 others all in i had to call. obv 2/3 had KQ. -$16
Today was a different story. i played 2 tables $15 starting, cashed out from 1 with over $93 after some nice double ups. got very lucky in 1 hand A6 on 632 flop i bet he called, turn A i bet n he min raised then river another A. took about $28 on that hand. on other table i cash out for $24 giving me a +$87 total for the day. love cash now!!!
lets hope 2008 poker continues.
