AAroddersAA:
Just caught up on this Brian definitely should keep blog going if possible. Very much worth reading.

I couldn"t make it 6 out of 6 cashes at the G last night in the 15/15, table was as ridiculous as ever 7 people to every flop,waste of time squeezing or making any moves as once they have put a chip in the pot no one was folding.

First hand of any significance I reraised an utg limp with dem aces, to 1200 blinds 200/400,every player behind calls so we go to the flop with  7 people in the pot, probably not a favourite here, flop 6,10,10 the pot is about 9k I only have 10k behind, its fairly feasible that a 10 is out there but wasn"t going to bet fold so just put the lot in, got one caller who had flatted with 66 so he flopped the house, no problems with his flat there he had enough chips, I just wonder what the other 6 called with, he proceeded to teach me about implied odds and that is why he called, cheers for the lesson mate nh, home by 8pm.

I regged a few on Stars and had a deep run in the $4 cubed, eventually losing a couple of flips at 3am this morning, pretty frustrating as win one of them and I would of been in good shape to at least final table it but it wasnt to be.

It was good to see Jp at the nobbers game on Thursday, congrats on the win sir, and I see another invasion is imminent so looking forward to that.

On the home front all the stuff for the kitchen arrived, everything worked,everything fitted correctly without any hassle so just need the walls and floor tiling and we are done.

It"s the Gs monthly £100 on Saturday which I may be making an appearance in, it does clash with the Apat game on Saturday which is disappointing  but if I get knocked out early may make an appearance later on.

I know my brother reads this and I would just like to congratulate him again in Qualifying as a Radiographer at the local hospital, he was made redundant 2 years ago, managed to get accepted on a course and his hard work has paid off and starts his new career at the end of the month not bad for a 47 year old, well done really proud of you.

Thanks for the words of encouragement regarding the blog by the way, it may not be as baller as other blogs available, but it it is what is,an ordinary bloke having a go at the pokers.

Only 5 of us turned up tonight for the prestigious G 10 10 10 game so we decided to play a winner takes all sat into Saturdays £100 game.

I proceeded to fold for most of the night,woke up at the right time with AA v QQ v K9 which held for a virtual treble up, eventually got heads up with Luke which I managed to win,total prize pool was £125, enough for the buy in on Saturday, I gave Luke the extra £15, was feeling in a generous mood, he had predicted earlier that it was obvious I was going to get aces and win the lot and for willing that in he deserved a bit back.

I left Dave crushing the blackjack tables, he started with the £3 change from the buy in and reg fee, and was going strong when I left at about 23:45, hope it didn"t go wrong in the interveening time.

Incidentally my skirmish with the blackjack table lasted one hand, I don"t normally play the table games but it seemed a bit tight to cash in the £3 change, not being a blackjack player Dave said I will tell you what to do, ok I said, proceeded to ignore his advice and lose the £3 straight away, in the first session think he spun the £3 into £40 ish which covered his buy in for the sng, and like I said above he was further crushing in his second session.

Looking forward to Saturdays game, not sure how many runners it will get, going by previous events 60ish would be my guess, but we shall wait and see.

Not been playing much lately,the £100 game at the G fizzled out into a mid place finish, tbh there was not a lot to talk about other than a second straight flush in a week, I didn"t bother paying the extra £1 for the jackpot as I had already qualified for the £10k free roll on sunday which looks like being about 120 runners, with an extra value Gukpt seat for the winner available as an extra incentive,lets hope for a bit of run good in that one.

Had aces cracked early on in the above game by J9 which seems to be the norm in any biggish events I play in lately, probably fold em if the blind levels are below 100/200 from now on  ;), didn"t lose too many chips as flush and straight draws arrived on the river and there was a lot of betting and calling before it got to me, the joys of being oop, not a whinge by the way just an observation.

I got home and regged for the Irish online champs, got a good start with AA > QQ and was doing ok until I raise utg with 66, get reraised all in by Ger for between 15/20 bigs which I call hoping for a flip, unfortunately he has 10 10 didn"t bink my 6 and the rest of the game fizzled out.
As Ger reminded me in chat "welcome to the dark side", it probably should of been a fold in that position,and a year ago I would of insta mucked,but win that hopefully flip and I have a chance to run deep, I still had  20ish bigs left after the loss but couldn"t get any momentum going.

Over at Stars been running pretty poorly until last night, I seem to be isolating early position limpers correctly but people keep waking up with hands behind,and I keep running into big hands when I usually the second best hand at the time, hold em manager also showing 4 out of the last 5 times with AA it is coloured red indicating I have lost the hand so I think I am due to get get some chips in future tournaments with AA, variance and all that malarkey.

I have only been playing 1 or 2 games a day this month, mainly because I can"t be bothered grinding the sngs to get the mtt entries,so I late regged the $5 cubed last night playing on the i pad app, and managed to finish 3rd for$ 550 which has put me in profit on Stars for the month by about $350, the battery was dying about 12:30 so had to leave my warm bed to go and finish the game off in the back room, got back to bed around 2:15 with a nice boost to roll which is now just under $2k, ( when full tilt returns will have another little boost, roll on November).

Incidentally my biggest coup was a 3 way all in, post flop on a K4 5 flop against AA and AK who had both limped I had 44 in the big blind, mbn, this gave me a stack to take a few hits here and there.

My final hand was A10> k9 against the chip leader who was just shoving all in every hand, he had the stack to do it, unlucky for me he hit his 9, if my hand holds here I have 1 mirrion chips and a chance to take it down, it wasn"t to be, still haven"t won a Stars tourney out right which is frustrating and needs to be put right sooner rather than later , thanks for reading, run good , be lucky stay healthy.
