Sigh.... wish I was even more of a fish sometimes :)
Well played again though Brian, top man. Still remember looking over at your face when you doubled up within what seemed 2 minutes haha.. a picture of happy days mixed with WTF! ;D

if you havent seen it... spot the only one supping guinness 8) hadnt realised I was sharing the table with Steve Holden (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=77989), nice guy and obviously as fishy as me as he was the one who I went all in with mid levels, he thought he"d talked me into spewing all my chips when he flipped 5/2off for the turned straight.. not realising I"d fished there too with the same hand ;D x

I need pictures and the name of the villain benefactor in the AA v AJ hand please :)
Please let it be Dr Donk!

I have had a fairly frustrating time with poker this week, my usual jaunt to the G on Monday for their deep stack ended in the usual bubble position, ran AJ into 10 10 with 15 bigs fairly standard stuff but again another 4 hour game for no reward.
It was good to meet up with Ger again at the Stockton home game, who proceeded to get one of the other players on tilt early on leading him to rant on for 15mins at the break Q4 > 10 10, incidentally if any of us win with Q4 instant shame and a game ban will ensue, no one is allowed to play it, it"s just a Stockton thing, finished 5th in this ran A10 into AK. The tilted player did manage to get his chips back of Ger later, the lord taketh, the lord giveth back, it"s only a game Anth.
Not a massive amount played online but yesterday out of 4 mtts managed to final table 2, one was a $4 180 man for $59, I don"t usually play the 180s but just started one to see how they played, lost a massive pot KK < QQ aipf just before the final table so went to the ft with 15 bigs, couldnt get the elusive double up, managed to ladder a few places and didn"t bink when required.
The second final table was a $6k gteed game finished 8th for $180ish, the final hand I have 16 bigs in the small blind dealt 77, I min raise to induce the shove, which he does with k8, didn"t hold no need for the 3rd K on the river so another race lost, hey ho move on, he has 15 bigs at this stage so again fairly standard I think, gotta win those flips at the end.
Any thoughts on the min raise to induce, or should I just shove all in if I am happy to get it all in any way, had no numbers on him, he was new player and Hem has stopped working for some reason, think next time in that position will just get the lot in and put the pressure on the caller.
Last mtt of the night was the $55 $7k5 gteed got myself into a cash position then get dealt QQ but ran it into KK which left me 5 of the cash and time for bed, tomorrows another day.
At least the bankroll has returned to the place it started at the beginning of the month, and with the Gukpt bink I am in profit for April plus my second Hendon mob flag.
This will be the final week of my son living at home as he will be heading to West Yorkshire to live, so a few trips to Leeds may be required, and the possibility of a few visits to the poker rooms of Leeds may ensue.
Run good, be lucky and stay healthy.

Great to meet up - Oh and I felt the love (especially with a 44x flop)
Erimus:
This blog has lasted a little longer than I thought it would when i first started which I am quite pleased about, it"s quite good to re read especially the Vegas stuff good memories and nice to have them to look back upon.
Before I get to Aprils efforts a massive congratulations to Pokerpops for his binkage in the Grand Prix, really well deserved especially after the unlucky hand in the Ukipt see his blog for further details.
I met Dave a few years ago playing at the Eagle with the rest of the Stockton massive and I do tend to vent my spleen either through Facebook or at the local Casinos to him about various bad beats, moans etc and he is a good listener and gives solid advice and encouragement,which has helped me with my game thanks to him for that,well done again really pleased for you.
Not been a good month online played about 80 mtts/sngs and I am probably down about $150 which ain"t to bad, think made 3 final tables but unless you finish in the top 2 or 3 usually prizes are pretty meh, finished the month in profit because of my 3rd place finish at the Gukpt event (basically a sng only 26 entries but a cash is a cash)
I managed to get a seat into the Sunday million last weekend but couldn"t fold AA on a ten high straightening and flushing board when villain min raised my c bet, it"s nearly always a set there but once I have to call or reraise I am virtually committed to the pot, he had 10 10 I didn"t manage to hit my miracle card so the dream remains unfulfilled, will be trying to sat into this on a more regular basis gotta keep believing.
Live poker pretty limited last month, finished 13th in the local Gala freezout getting it in good with AQ v K9 pre against the table aggressor who has hit every flop and continued in this vein hitting the K on the flop nh gg gl.
And finally Esther (a ref to a prog in late 70s and 80s)
Stupid things said at a poker table at my local casino
Player in cut off says to player next to him " I need to go to the loo, can you please fold my hand as I don"t want to fold out of turn" and leaves the table.
Run Good, Be lucky stay healthy.
