Daughter Amos won 545 quid off 100 quid when staked into a cash table by Ger last night. Highlight hand was definately myself going all in pre for £43 against Ger and Lucy.
Lucy had JJ. Ger didn"t show. The turn was a 3, the river was a 3. I had 23cc. General disbelief from the locals with very few teeth in their head.

Tell Daughter Amos well done and to put aside enough to cover a new windsccreen :-)

Sat and watched Lucy on the live stream from Stoke last evening and loved it. Her game has been a well kept secret for years with her "never show" policy strictly enforced.
She has, as they say, some game.
I slept at around half midnight and woke to a text confirming her win :)
Well played that girl.
Watch out world, Team Pony are coming to get you.
I understand she"s playing the ME today and will be avoiding running JJ into AA this time.
She"ll be in my three to Final Table

After a week of living the dream it was back to earth with a bump last night at G
I"d chipped up very nicely by level 3 with 43000 chips at 100/200 when one of the more errrm creative players decided to blind raise utg to 1300 in an attempt to either bust and re-enter or chip up from his 3500 stack.
I have JJ utg+1 and in an attempt to isolate I grab a stack of yellow 1k chips and raise (to 21k as it happens)
utg+2 puts his 5k in, it folds to my nemesis, the delightful Betty, everyone"s favourite Granny who flat calls from a stack similar to mine.
For reasons I can"t explain the cards get turned over despite the fact that both Betty and I have chips behind and she has QQ - she just always has it vs me. The flop brings a J, and then a Queen...
I don"t know if the big raise is good or bad generally, but sertainly had the hand played out normally I would have done a lot bigger piece of my stack than I did since putting Betty on QQ would have been beyond most players. In all the months that I"ve played with her I can count the number of times she"s raised pre on one hand and the number of times she"s 3bet pre would be a definite zero...
Fast forward a little and after attempting to represent A10 on an A10 10 xx board vs someone who has A 10 I"m down to 10 BB when I ship with A10 over a min raise. he tank calls with 77 and to continue tonight"s theme of cheers and boos we see an x 10 7 flop and I"m gone.
On the positive side I dug myself out of a sizable hole on the cash table with one highlight being an A 10 x A x board and this time actually having the A 10 myself vs someone with AK.
Also positive was Brian getting a 4way chop.
Three weeks to Christmas and no presents brought yet - today is CyberShop Monday apparently, maybe I"ll find that perfect gift online.

The Home Game last night was more fun than should be allowed at a poker table.
Phil describes it better than I could ever do.
I bust with 77

G Monthly £100
Should have missed it
Regged in Level 4 100/200 and found myself at a table of "can"t folds"
Did chip up pretty well when I 3bet the lad to my right with KK and he decided to 4bet and then 6 bet shove his QQ
Played a hand absolutely awful vs one of the better players at the table. In essence I made a bad call pre, caught a poor straight on turn on a paired board and he check shoved on me.
I tanked and talked myself into giving him the one hand I could beat rather than the three that were beating me. Obviously he had the house
Then I 3bet A s Qd to 1950 over an older Gala type players open to 700 at 100/200/25 with AQ
Flop is Kxx ccc, he checks I bet he calls very reluctantly and I decide that I"m shipping any non-club turn
Jd falls, he checks, I shove, he snaps with Qc 10c obviously.
I re-entered and made it to the last two tables but the structure+the players meant that avg stack was pretty close to 15BBs by then and I was below average. Folds to my SB and I ship into a decent players BB knowing he needs something decent to call with. He has something Kh Qc and holds vs my 9c 2c
I didn"t play well at all. I was distracted and irritated by lots of stuff that shouldn"t bother me. The slowwww dealer we had for one level (8 and a bit hands in 30 minutes - I deal a lot faster than that); the irritating tanks from one of the locals where you know he"s folding but he has to sit and stare a lot; I got irritated by my bad play being rewarded by loss of chips and others bad play being rewarded by winning chips which I thought was an attitude I had put behind me.
I carried this whole "not loving the game" feeling into the APAT online Championship and bust out pretty early with 77
