<< < (49/189) > >>

Erimus:
Played the 6 max last night and almost got the perfect start flopping a straight, v a set but the turn card killed any more action and I couldn"t extract any more from opponent, the rest of the game was as expected difficult, all decent players and chips hard to come by.

I think I peaked around 12k, but not hitting flops and c bets not being believed led to the demise, I reshoved with 99 (12 bigs) after a raise v 2 limpers, hoped he had AK, AQ for a flip at least, alas he had jj and he hit a j on the flop so I was drawing fairly thin after that, so the sides are over for me and have the main to play tomorrow, hoping to have saved any run good, good fortune to that one, either way I haven"t had to dig into bank account for any cash, although my drawer with my poker winnings is looking a bit empty, time for a refill me thinks.

Had 3 days offline whilst Gukpt in town, back on it today finished 9/150 final table, and 10/219 final table bubble for a tiny profit, not worth mentioning but still knocking on the door. Will be doing an afternoon session after I have done the weekly shop.

The other stake I have running on Stars hasn"t been going as good as tilt and we are down to  $500, so I have informed all people on that one that we shall be going out with a bang and have a full schedule in the Scoop series, make or break on Stars for me, thanks for reading, I know my brother does, apparently one of the first sites he checks daily.

Get this over with whilst still fresh in the memory. Main event started ok got up to 27k early doors but was back to 21k by the 1st break, we had one maniac on the table ( a local reg who plays any 2) and doesn"t have a fold button.

Him and Chen tangled consistently and chips were being passed to and fro between them, eventually 9 2 suited led to Chens demise when Chen made trips but the back door flush got there.

Meanwhile I couldn"t catch a thing and eventually 3 bet AJ (2k)on the button, Maniac calls, he had raised pre to 600, cut off comes along, flop A75 rainbow, cut off leads for 5k, virtually pot, not happy here but I call, K on the turn, check check, and on a 2 river he jams for 11k, stinks of 2 pair to me and I fold reluctantly, he shows A7 for a flopped 2 pair, yawn, standard.

I am now down to 12k and pretty hamstrung see a few flops, whiff them all and with blinds at 200/400 jam 9k with JJ, unfortunately someone wakes up with KK behind and no Miracle jack or weird straight occurs and I am gone, pretty much the same time Dave leaves his table losing A10 v JJ I think.

Overall a pretty disappointing Gukpt week for me, the saving grace was from last weeks chop at Gala paid for the whole series so financially didn"t make a dent in the bank account, just the money drawer is a bit lighter.

The maniac on the table got up to 70 k within 3 or 4 levels, then went out when he had flopped a set of threes, with 2 spades on board, the flush binked on the river and the recipient took a massive 45k plus pot. He was unlucky in that hand but his luck had to run out at some point, live by the sword, die by the sword I suppose.

Scoop this week starts on Stars and I will be milling around all the low buy in events going to go out fighting on Stars win or lose the lot, on tilt I will continue with the proper bankroll management and hopefully some success will ensue.

Genting Sheffied next week will probs have one satellite attempt during the week to see if I can bink a seat for that, unfortunately Wembley out of the question as its too much hassle to get Susan looked after.

Run good, be lucky stay healthy.

Note to self, must try and run better, still smiling because it just makes me laugh.

A day of might have beens, started this morning on the iPad a $33 4k gtee on Stars finished 32/308 for $68 lose the flip AQ v 44 for 45 bigs and a decent shot at $1k8, standard, would of been nice to win that before getting out of bed

Decided to play the 2:15 $33 game finished that one 19/350 for another $69, again lose AK v 10 10 actually flop the world open ended straight draw and nut flash draw brick that one again for a 50 plus big blind stack and a shot at $2k, standard.

Played a $20 hyper 6 max to the big 55, win my seat in one hand 66 v AQ v AQ v AK flopped the 6 didn"t need it would of won any way.

Finished 230/2500 for $130 in that one ran JJ into QQ for 40 bigs, but can"t really complain about that as I had cracked both KK and AA with JJ well before the cash, unfortunately lightning didn"t strike for the third time and the queens held, so fair play on that one.

I have managed to get out of the hole on Stars thanks to a 3rd in a $7k5 gtee for $1k on Wednesday and have jumped into profit for the first time since January, which is good news for my mates who have a little piece of me on Stars, only $500 up but better to be plus than minus.

I have been watching the live stream of the Gps and it really makes me want to play more deepstack live games the structure on these are superb and will definitely be trying to play one or more of them, I know Southend is the next one this may be a bit too far to travel but I think Stoke is a possibility.

The Wembley thing is something I would like to have a go at but the logistics of getting Susan looked after plus costs of transport hotels etc make it a bit of a non starter for me which is a bit of a shame but that"s life.

Nothing to report on Full tilt other than a few min cashes and a couple of close but no cigars, again it"s just not getting the rub of the green at the business end of games, the pay structure at the bottom end is really not worth bothering with so have been playing with more aggression than is usual for me but not been getting the love, QQ v KJ for a ft spot k on the river and the infamous AA v KK v JJ see hand history above for that one.

On the live scene nothing to report since my bink at Gala a few weeks ago unfortunately the Gukpt took most of that up, glad there isn"t a festival every week, G have a £2k gtee on a Tuesday now and this week just to say reached the guarantee, I texted Dave who was unaware of the new game and he came and late regged and I think he ended up doing a deal 4 way at the end, I spewed off most of my chips in a blind v blind battle where we both hit the flop me with the 10 and him with the 8 he eventually spiked the 8 on the river for trips and my 2 pair was no good, with this player even if I jam the flop or turn because he has hit he won"t fold so either way I lose my chips by the river.

Gala have their bi monthly £150 next Saturday which all things considered I should be playing, I have gave the option to the people who have a bit of me on Stars to let me withdraw the cash from there and will be playing as part of the Stars stake, awaiting their replies, it just means I am not withdrawing cash from the household funds for poker, I prefer it when poker funds poker unless it"s just a £30 freezout which is just a standard night out.

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