Poker Blog - NH GG FU

Recently I finished 2nd in one of the pokergod games on Ladbrokes - and tonight I played another pokergod game and managed to final table it without any hiccups.

I busted 5th/311 for $25 as well as 100 pokergod points (I shoved TT, chipleader called with k7o and hit a King on the turn.. obviously..)

This leaves me with 500 points, and should ensure me a seat at the live final where we play for two ladbrokes poker cruise packages.. 2 more games to play, I’ll probably play them if I am around… any excuse to have more tables open on my tasty new monitor

Well tonight I grinded a solid MTT and was chip leader by 15k for most of the MonteCarlo game on PokerStars which I qualified for last week.

1st prize - all expenses paid holiday for 2 to montecarlo
2nd -10th prizes - PokerStars Chipsets

I played a solid, tight game early on, doubling up as often as possible and cashing in on the weaknesses and mtt inexperience of the other players. I played power poker once I had accumulated a 5k chip lead, and felt like I was on a cash table at times..

I grinded my way to the final table, then this happened.

me: AK - All in for about 20k
villain: A9 - Calls for his remaining 15k .
Flop: a-9-x
Turn: blank
River: 9

leaving me on a not so healthy 5k. I battled back to chiplead within 20 hands and was dominated when I popped all in when we were 3 way. My oppenent’s live ace had my King in trouble and the board didn’t help me. Out in 3rd…

Time wasted on this whole caper.. a WHOPPING 8 hours. Yes, that’s right 8 hours for a smeggy pokerStars chipset! It had better be el-deluxo-supremo-magico!

Anyway it looks like my MTT form is continuing… hopefully I will cash in someting big sometime soon. Who knows, maybe someobody will stake me for something big..

Another fine MTT result. I am running really well this week.

851 runners started, competing for 18 seats paid into the Monte Carlo Final sponsored by the Daily Star “newspaper”.. So another Final for me this weekend - this one on Saturday.
not sure of the prizes, but there’s a 40″ plasma tv and a trip to MC involved, and of course it’s free.. yeehaw.

I Played this tonight.. finished 9th out of 701 runners..
This wins me a goody bag (woo I Love goody bags) and entry to the final on sunday where I think there is a wad of cash and laptops etc up for grabs.
not bad for free

My Top Pair King Kicker ran into a set, and it was goodnight from me, and goodnight from me.

Tonight I won a package to the Brighton leg of the GUKPT. When we were down to 5, I had half the tournament chips, and a 3-1 chip advantage.

This is sweet, because it will be good practice.. I was planning on playing the GUKPT Newcastle in July with a few players I know.. Yeehaw. Should be good banter, and I plan to take a camera so I should get some good snaps for the blog
