Bottom Line: -122$

Decided to only play 1 mtt tonight - the 109$ Freezeout on stars (880 Players - ($18,000 for 1st))

I chipped up good in 1st hour thanks tight play and some small pots with QQ and AA and I was 3rd at 2nd break.
I then managed to bust lilholdem who was shoving a lot of weak aces.. So I call his shove and the shortstack after timebanking and

I suck out on chad batista

Then the table chipleader is raising a lot, So I reraise

fk my life stars.

busted about 150 out of 880.. Last hand was a bit sick.. can’t believe he called my reraise and flopped the stone cold nuts but that’s poker.
fy stars

edit: played a forum V forum challenge - busto 3rd hand QQ (raised pre) flop 7 hi rainbow, guy has 55 and hits set, boat on river. GG me. sigh.

Gonna play an exclusive sat for the virgin poker festival tomorrow, and the rest of the usual touries on boss

Bottom Line: EVENS
Morning Cash:
5 tabled small stakes 5 max on boss ($1/$2) and made about 350 euros in 40 mins.

Mtts:
played the 6krebuy, grinded a fking fat 30bb stack then this hand occurred:

Kings.. no fucking good
I decided that I was not going out like a bitch, so with some luck

I grind back up from a pitiful stack, with a bit of luck
Aj holds
Somehow I managed to get Chiplead and get to final table, but after losing 1/4 of my stack to a suckout I stop and go and run into an overpair -out 9th. Sigh.. 1st paid like 1800Euros , 9th just > 100.

Evening cash:

Boss decides not to save my hands.
Sick hand 1 - i have AK - guy calls 3 barrels on broadway board and hits set on river. he had.. wait for it.. 33 and wins a 550 euro pot. NH sir.
Sick hand 2 - I have the nut flush, hit it on the turn, but wait, mateyboy has Quad tens. 600 Euros pot.

Grinded on 2 tables (1/2 Euro and 1/2USD) for a bit and got up to 3.5 buyins on both, to end up pretty much evens for the day (again, thank god for rakeback)

Amazing how you can play great poker and end up evens. I dread to think how much I would have lost if I was playing bad.!

Even today.

Made about 700Euros 5 tabling 1/2 USD in the morning. I have a massive edge down there compared to my usual 2/4 euros cash tables… I think I will multi-table those as they are cheap and so many people are so tight and/or not rolled for it that you can blow them off a hand a lot by shoving missed draws etc. oh and people won’t fold top pair.

I sat down on 2/4e full ring at 8pm while mtting and managed to rr a guy practically all in for a 800 pot with air [9jo] on the river. he obv had the nuts and I didn’t pay him off the remaining 80E of my stack on principle haha. I reloaded and won some of it back then made an exit for food. playing when you are tired is -ev for sure.

Mtts- Was tired, so just played the 7500Euros rebuy. Grinded a massive stack then lost a 40bb pot when I rrai on a 77×3 board.. guy has 33 leaves me shortish. When we are down to about 40 (500/1k with ante) I shove a PP utg for about 20bb. folds to BB who snapcalls with AQo. Board double pairs and his ace plays and he wins the fecking pot. GG me. I am back on form though and seem to be able to chip up a massive stack this week.. I just keep getting mega UL when nearing the FT.

Thank f£ck for Celeb Poker’s Rakeback (30%) - I must have played a few K hands, so a breakeven day is still a profit, and probably not too bad given I was 5 tabling and seeing a LOT of flops.

Eyes burning. Needs Sleeps….

oh yeah, “and the winner is:” the poker room. Every Time.

-£600 on cash in the morning, not a good start. Made it back in afternoon.

- 7500 euros rebuy on celeb - managed to get chiplead with 60 left - i had a monster 110bb stack and managed to donk off 40th somehow in 20 mins … 1 bad read and resteal shove for half my stack, then Jacks into Aces. booo

- Cash tables again - rivered for 550, then lost a buyin at 2/4 euros

won it all back, partly thanks to this sick hand: http://www.pokerhand.org/?2640307

villain was raising a lot and I was ready to trap with any decent hand (plus I was slightly on tilt perhaps after folding AK on a Kxx flop for a 450 pot- he claimed he had KK)..
anyway I milked all his little chippies into my stack, and all was good in the world again (apart from getting rivered by the biggest fish on the boss network - I can’t take that back)

-Donked off £700 on cash (£3/£6), didn’t play too bad just got unlucky.. made + £300 on the $2/$4 6 max later.
- Played a SNG out of boredom. not played one in months. Came 2nd.

Mtts-
- 250k super sat, ran 40bb stack into aces. Meh.
- 4k rebuy 11th sigh. Stack up and down like a yo yo had a short stack going towards FT, so shoved air into the nuts on the bubble. oops. No Cigar.

I arrived on day1a, only about 60 runners if even.. Played £5/£5 £500 Buyin cash with john kalmar, paul jackson, jeff kimber and some mad scandie, and made about £700 .. Then I entered the £100+£10.50 Side event and some donkey who limped utg with AJo snapcallls when I push a PP from the BB for his tourney life and hits obv. of course the moron final tables and chops (5 way chop for 900quid each). Dunno why people bother chopping these sideys unless they are mega crapshoots.. I played more cash with Tim blake and some other guys and ended up +£1k after a long 6hr grind…

Next day I played the main event (£1060 entry).. Ty Akram, Liam flood, Dewi James and some other dudes on my table. It was a real fun table and everyone was having good craic / banter. Got KK no action, made some decent folds and got to about 13.5k (10 starting stack) after about 4 levels. Liam Flood managed to never showdown his cards for 4 hours which was incredible in itself.

I tried to steal the blinds with JKo in mp, not realising bb was short, so he jams with a pair and my overcards miss and I am on 10k.. Last hand before dinner I miss a osed and bluff the river and get looked up by TY, leaving me on about 6.5k.. not ideal.

Dinner break - so I sit at a cash table and buyin for 300.. 2nd hand I get QQ, 2 callers all in. flop is 64698 or something. 1 guy has AJ, other guy says - it’s yours. then he says oh actually… and flips a six for trips. Slowrolling c*nt. I tell him he is a classless moron and walk off for dinner in disgust.after dinner I get moved to a different table and run a pocket pair into overpair. goodnight from me.

Cash tables were amazing and I stayed till 6am playing with a few pros and Leo Kam who won one of the gukpts recently. Didn’t see any big hands but did hit quads and made some good folds when I wasn’t jamming 99 into KK… left at 6am with about another 1k profit.. somehow got up at 11 and paid 60 quid for a train home rather than waiting for my bus at 3 cos I was knackered.. Will definitely go to next event as the cash games are so bloody +ev.
I couldn’t actually get my wallet closed cos it had so many 50’s in it.. amazing but true. Also met some good players and nice people (and inevitably some assholes)… and a break is as good as a holiday!

back in online-pokerland tonight I came 3rd in the 6k Euros rebuy on boss for >1k and then a dissapointing 10th in the 10k Euros rebuy. Also Played the 120Euro entry 100k on boss but AKsooted < a3o, obv..

that’s about it for last few days… more excitement when it happens.

5th in the 4k Euros Rebuy on boss this morning. I Was CL on Final table, and obv got fecked over by donks that don’t know when to fold.

The standard of play was actually appaling - the guy 2nd in chips shoved thru the blinds [one of whom had same stack as him, maybe 40bb] with j6o, and beats the other guys AK. These guys are so bad, but they are the chumps that make me rich, so I can’t complain too much.. I won about 400 euros for a BI and addon totalling 20Euros.. that’s my weekend at newcastle sorted FTW.

Not updated this in a while.. where to start? hmm..

Live:
I played a £50 rebuy the other night (invited thru a poker forum I visit sometimes) - I fancied it cos I am playing GUKPT Newcastle this week (£1080 Buyin) and it was a good opportunity to get some live practice..

30 runners (I recognised most of em from local casino - field was actually pretty good standard ,and included GBPT winner Colin Wu, and a GUKPT finalist whos name escapes me right now)..

Anyway, easy money. Starting stack was 5k and I chipped up to 22k in 90 mins with no rebuys, took an addon then pretty much grinded solidly.

I lost a flip with 8’s v AKs but was patient and managed to hit the FT 3rd in chips, and high in confidence due to some good reads.

The CL didn’t want to do a chop which was fine with me, so we paid 5th 50quid for his trouble and played for the win. Anyway I overcame a chip-deficit and won £1100 quid. It was an interesting game for a number of reasons that I won’t get into here, however It was pretty well organised, and I am a big fan of games with fat prizepools. Playing live homegames is a drag in some respects, cos you have to put up with all sorts of people (who are not necessarily sober) and situations which you just don’t have to deal with online.

nowt else exciting has been happening in poker for me apart from running like shit online (eg. I lost a flip worth $9,000 with QQ when there was 16 left in the 109 on stars for CL and FT dominance etc.. On Cash tables, my aces have been cracked x3 in a week for about £6k too and yada yada.. bad beat stories aint worth blogging, as I don’t wanna particularly remember them.. All I need to remember is that Negative variance is a whore…. as if I could ever forget).

Oh yes, someone left a comment on my blog that wasn’t tramadol or viagra spam hahaha. awesome. can you imagine 149 spam comments on your blog in 5 days? keep the comments coming telling me what a retard/donkey I am. I really do live for that stuff…
