That is the first time I have folded KK pre, it is awful I know but it was just a reaction to constantly running into peoples slightly bigger hands both online and live, Apat team JJ v AA, Sunday KQv KK, AA into 53 off  ::),It was a mental thing although the previous games should have no bearing on my decision and I deserve a bit of a slap, it worked out in the end though.

Home game tonight,yes providing nothing unexpected happens at home, and Saturday 90% certain to play, again circumstances allowing.

Erimus:
Well that was one weird poker weekend, starting on Thursday with the home game which was fun, raucous, noisey, I volunteered to deal and I dont think I played a hand till I got knocked out in the 4th level, the card room manager threatened to eject two players and he was getting a bit irate with us I think, but it was fun although my head has been buzzing for 2 days since.

Friday played a fruitless session on Stars were every draw hit every bluff was called, always having the second best hand and it was just a horrible session, I am usually fairly calm but I could feel tilt raging inside and to be honest was getting really angry and snarly which should not really happen, dented the roll on Stars a bit but no big deal, have to get over it.

Saturday played the £100 game at the G, and when the draw was made the table was full of solid players including Pokerpops, I would rather meet him on a final table than tangle early but needs must.

The game played out as expected, it was very difficult to accumulate chips as every body was solid, raised 44 utg early flop 488 2 clubs got a little bit but not a lot and the rest were standard raises and c bets some got through some didn"t.

I eventually went out when losing a flip KJ v 99 I hit my K but the turn was a 9 and that was me done.

I got home about 9 and regged  for a $24 super stack which I took down for $1300 on Full tilt, this was extra pleasing in the fact it is part of a stake which a few people are involved with on here, we have now doubled our starting roll, had Stuart on the rail via face book after he had seen my post,and he railed me to victory, finding Full Tilt not as aggro as Stars in the games and I was quite comfortable throughout.

Sunday morning regged for a 6 max $50 game and bubbled the final table for £113, made a weak play with KK on the bubble when I just flatted some ones 4 bet, was shoving any non ace flop but the ace hit and villain was betting out, I folded on the river,due to someone with 6 bigs at other table, prob a bit weak but hey ho it was what it was.

Eventually got it in good as a 70/30 fav but lost the semi flip.

Played the G 15/15 tonight, got paid off when I hit a straight flush after my raise with 77 was called in 4 spots turned the straight flush and was paid off by the K flush, my last hand I raise KK get flatted by 57, flop 777, the rest is history.

The difference between yesterday"s game and today"s was shown in the first hand, Levels 25/50 raise to 400, called in 4 spots, apparently he doesn"t like JJ, he won the pot and gained the 2k plus pot, next Hand I get JJ make my standard raise to 150 and win the blinds, then again I am a nit who only plays aces.

Played a couple on Tilt when I got home, min cashed in a $10 3k gteeed, and flopped a straight flush in a sng which I finished 3rd in so an extra $30 added to the roll, didn"t get paid with the straight flush though.

Promised to stay in the rest of the week so no more live games until next Sunday, run good, be lucky stay healthy.

Just a few words about this weeks poker efforts, not running well. Those few words sums it up really but I will give you a few more details if you are interested.

Friday played the G £20 double chance, it got over 70 runners which meant a late finish if you managed to reach the final table, I decided to play a lot looser than normal mainly because with the amount of runners wanted to get a big stack or get home as Susan was still up and didn"t want to leave her sat up till 4 am, nothing major happened mainly due to the fact we were seeing about 4 hands per level due to serial tankers, new dealer dealing ultra slowly for some reason and the usual slow play, eventually 4 bet with KQ off in the small blind after 2 limpers and a small reraise from the button, I only had 6k left so was committed to the pot, got flatted by button flop was KQ9, chips go in he has 99 and that was that, apparently it was chopped at 4ish, glad I got knocked out.

Sunday brings the  15/15, 35 runners, kept running into top of people"s ranges when I decided to open or 3 bet, shown, AA, KK and KK after my raise folds or raise flats, get a few chips when I raise AK utg,  get 3 bet again but this time it all goes in he has KK, binked 2 aces, again I wasn"t bothered whether I had won that pot, we get to the final 2 tables limp utg with KK 12 bigs get min reraised by some one who has had AA 3 x in the last hour, cards turned over, he has AA, I bink the K on the flop but he rebinks the A on the river, the table is full of ohhs and ahhs, standard stuff this week, nh move on, I got lucky then unlucky see plenty of it online, perhaps poker is rigged full stop.

They put on a £10 sat for the £100 game, get QQ early flatted in one spot flop 10,8,8, of course villain has 10 10, still got chips left, ty to villain who although got a few chips didn"t stack me, obv now waiting for a shove spot, Pokerpops opens utg 500 gets 1 flat I shove 1500 with 1010 Dave calls other limper folds 10 10 v K 10, Dave binks the K nh again standard stuff, Dave won the sat so that was good, if I don"t win I want it to go to him.

Online not a lot happening managed to bubble a final table on Stars in a 2k guaranteed last night for not a lot, going for all the chips but again people kept waking up with slightly bigger hands, timing is everything and mine is slightly off at the minute.

Most annoying flip lost was in the big $55 for a 50bb pot and a poss run at some big money, alas wasn"t to be AK < JJ, best hand won, so be it.

Apologies if this comes across as a series of bad beat moans, I don"t moan about bad beats as read in V Blues blog if I am getting it in good after that it is out of my control.

if you are still here thanks for reading, run good, be lucky stay healthy.

Will you be in Notts Bri?

Erimus:
End of month ramblings for any one still interested, won"t be a long one,

Pokerstars can"t hit a thing another losing month apologies to my non poker playing mates who have a little bit of me on there, was due a bad run and it has occurred just got to keep going, I think a lot of my problems is due to a little known software glitch on the Russian download version, apparently no fold button is available and every Russian I enter a pot with is unable to and unwilling to fold, and they always get there, will keep plodding on there.

Full tilt been a good month, results can be seen elsewhere but up about $1k2 so good news on that front, will be adding a bit of cash play from March just as fillers when sngs are not filling up, this may or may not be a good move we shall wait and see, have contacted all stakees who are ok with it, haven"t heard back from Rodders but don"t see a problem.

Live play has been a slog and again a slight loss for the month but only 1 or 2 buy ins so not going to send me to the poorhouse.

I managed to bink a seat to the £300 deepstack last night so I will be getting the back room sorted with music, food, drinks etc ready for that particular slog 30k chips 15 min blinds I think, just railed Pokerpops tonight who also managed to bink a seat, so hopefully we will be travelling down on Sunday for Day 2 together, we have 10% of each other so Gl to us in that one.

I would prefer to play live to be honest but petrol, hotel and costs for getting Susan looked after makes it a no brainer to play the online Day 1a.

I had a spare couple of pound on Dtd so played one of there golden chip games, I didn"t have enough left for an add on ( my bad planning) and went into the latter stages with 5 bigs, got very lucky v Curlarge twice and managed to get a decent stack but alas no shiny golden chip, a handful of bubble instead, still got time to get one of those chip things.

Apart from the £300 game tonight taking a few days off Poker, off to buy some new glasses, sat on my old ones and no matter how much twisting and reshaping i try I have to sit with with my head tilting slightly to the right to see through them, also having a day trip to York on Friday, to get a bit of fresh air into the system, although the bloody romans didn"t think about wheelchair access when designing this city, bloody Romans what did they do for us?.

Whoops gone off on one, run good, be lucky and stay healthy.
