You tried to bluff me when I had a full house. That was pretty funny.
Erimus:
A flurry of disappointments to finish the month off, again close but no cigar, maybe have to donate to the bad beat tin, actually hasn't been a bad month tbh when adding up the winnings against the outgoings, better than the current saving interest rate I am getting.
Back to the moaning, I play very little on Stars these days and I noticed the rake has increased in various games so incentivised not to bother playing there again so my last $22 was used to play the afternoon bounty hunter, fast forward a few hours and the $22 was increased to $350 after beating approx 1400 people to finish a respectable 15th I think , decisive hand AK losing to A10 aipf over 1 million chips and probably at least a final table finish, wasn't to be no doubt got lucky to get to that point funny how you can't remember them ones, played the same tournament today and min cashed for $40ish, now I could grind it and try and build it up but can't be pestered withdrew it and will spend it on a new hat.
Looked on Sky and their Ukops series has started so played the £22 BH at 7pm and also qualified for the £100 one via a £24 sat got in with half a big blind after watching another shortie lose his all in, nits going to nit, as it happens the £88 bubble prize would of been better as I didn't cash in that one, pretty card dead then ran 88 into AA for a 30 bb pot.
Meanwhile in the other one I reached the final table with 15 bigs but was 5/6, laddered one spot then get in AA v AJ but the the 4th black card gave villain the flush, can't complain about that one as I know for a fact I got lucky well before the cash with a treble up with J 10 spades making a straight flush v 2 people with pairs.
Got £230 for my efforts which is like a 10 to 1 winner on the horses, again won't be playing online for a few days so withdrew that so plus £400 heading into bank account.
Good thing about Sky is no hanging about for winnings the money is in there pretty much straight away, actually shows as an incoming before my deposit shows on the bank account.
Live stuff cash bubbled the final table on Tuesday, shoved KJ over ladies limp at 5k /10k, probably my 3rd shove over her limps she probably just got sick off me tbh, she called with QJ and I never won the 70/30, probably was a small mistake as one guy was sat with 3 bigs and was in big blind next hand, not a problem as I would rather bubble than get that min cash, go for the win.
Travelling to Manchester on Saturday with Dave (Pokerpops) for the main event, will be playing for Click Sergeant, they will get 10% of my bad beat tin which is currently in a very healthy state at the moment, or any winnings I may acquire.
Depending how I feel I may also play the final day 1 of the Easter beast at Stockton on Sunday afternoon with a possible Day 2 in Newcastle on the Monday, I did have one bullet in it last night, peaked at 27k, then went down hill, Tens into Kings, then AK into Tens late on, a flopped set killed me.
Although a profitable month, I have ran pretty bad on final tables online and live and my winnings could of been a lot healthier, but what can you do, never doing anything different in any of the spots so got to take it on the chin.
Got a £550 Gukpt ticket at a discounted price, so Edinburgh is a maybe but having costed train/petrol, hotels etc I may save it for Leeds in September.
Thanks for reading, run good, be lucky etc.
Zozzy:
Nice write up again Brian.
We seem to be moving in the same circles at the moment. It was nice to see you at Manc G couple months ago. I hope to see you in Manchester Apat, making it to Day 2 of the Main Event is the target. Also I have managed to get through to Day 2 of the Easter Beast Newcastle, so a meet up is a possibility on Easter Monday if you pull your finger out ;)
I am also considering Edinburgh next month. Nothing confirmed. I will try to qualify via satellite.
See you soon mate.
