Just signed in for the APAT Irish....
Made the break with out much drama.... Good small pot with me holding a low card for the flush..
Just lost with  Qs Qh v Ac 8c v Tom Brady.... Raised to 3k I think it was and Tom called... Flop came 2 pair for Tom... Lost a bit but he did think I would bet heavy when he checked...

Didn"t really get a hand all night.... Difficult game this time....18th....

Not much poker played, if any at all this week. Makes a blog a bit boring on a poker site when there is no poker being played. What did happen though is I watched the two programmes called "Class of "92, the Salford City FC Story".... Being a Liverpool fan the first part of the title did not appeal to me but being a follower of all things football the second part did.
How good both of those shows were and it does show the United players in a good light. So, Salford City are playing Notts County in the first round of the FA Cup on Friday night. Looking for some value here. Last year in the same round and on TV I had a bet on Warrington Town to beat Exeter City @9/1 and to win 1-0 @ 20/1. Warrington won 1-0 so a nice little return of £205 for £15. Well this year I did Salford City to win 2-0 @ 40/1 with a fiver on it. Got the same £205 return but with £10 less outlay. I wish getting £200 at poker was just as easy.
I have two $550 tickets for DTD and will be looking for January to maybe take a trip down to Nottingham to use them in a £330 tournament or a £550 one  with the change for a nights digs and beer tokens... Any clues on what"s available...?

Thanks for reading anyway...  ;)

Again not much to write home about poker wise. I won one of the APAT Thursday Sats so I now have two tickets. Still trying to get to Newcastle but it is not looking too good at the moment.
*****STOP PRESS*****STOP PRESS*****STOP PRESS*****
I have just heard Lynne say on the phone "That big **** has won a ticket for Newcastle this weekend, looks like he will be going there on his own and I will not be driving to Nottingham as our Billie doesn"t want to go"...... Looking Good....
Things are very odd on the gambling front though...
Since that Salford wing I have done a few bets with some very unusually good luck.
Phil Taylor when he was 4-1 down to Terry Jenkins I bet £5 on him to win 10-6 @ 15/2 and won £42.50
Next match I did Barney to beat James Wade 10-7 @ 12/1.... Wade missed 6 darts I think to make it 9-8 but Barney stepped up to make it 10-7 winning me another £60.
Few days later I did ROI to beat Bosnia in a £5 double with Northwich Vics to beat Boreham Wood in a FA Cup replay. Ireland won comfortably in the end 2-0 and Vis where 2-0 up when that match finished. Wood got a late consolation goal but again I won £70 this time...
It hasn"t all been about winning but I think I have lost about £180 - £200 on stupid bets so until the weekend I was still showing a monthly profit of just around £255...
Saturday...
Looked at a few bets and went against doing Liverpool to win @4/1
Done a few Win BTTS bets and lost a few pound on that
Liverpool to win BTTS @ 7/1 for some reason I ignored.
Don"t ask me why but I stuck £5 on Liverpool to win 4-1 but I did...
At odds of 90/1 on Corals I was so happy to hear that final whistle after Skrtel had scored that rocket.
Just as well that Citeh and especially Sterling were not firing on all cylinders, but so what... £450 in my pocket..

Poker.... Maybe I might just carry on doing mad bets, it"s far easier than grinding..

Newcastle was a lot like the weather that weekend..... A horrendous experience....
As you already know the game started late so that kept me in a bit longer technically...
Met a few of the old faces, not as many as usual may I say but also met a few new ones... Mark Lassman, Tom Clarke and his mate whose names escapes me, Big Dekka, Izzy and a few others... Steve from LPPL and the bloke who won his seat on Thursday called Wibblewobble or something...
The game starts off fine... A few too many people involved in hands initially but as the table went on it looked like everybody at some point was getting a good hand beaten by a better one. That is before the river bandits started winning that is..
I lost a far bit of my chips early on with KK v AA... Can"t remember the flop but it paired anyway. The bet I did was called as I think he thought that I had trips. A raise was called on 4th but it was checked on the flop. He flipped AA reluctantly, thinking I was going to show the trips then he sighed when I folded face down.
I had a few small wins then won a nice pot off a bloke who was losing some close hands. This time I had a straight flush draw against as it turns out two pair. On 4th I had a high pair but raised 2K, was called and the Ace on the river gave me the flush. A 3K bet was called and he turned over saying, "You have the flush don"t you"
Then after that it went rapidly down hill...
We saw flushes beaten by Full houses. Two pairs beaten by Trips. Some strange calls with nothing but the river winning it for them then off I went. Flush beaten by a flopped Full House. The annoying thing is that the FH was with four in.
I had  Ac 10c and went 500 I think, a caller, then a raise to 1K then another to 2K....
I called the 2K then the other two folded.
Flop Kc  7c  7d. I was sort of happy. This is then were my brain doesn"t slowdown and think as it should.
He shoves, leaving me with All-in to call....
I sit and think for a minute or so, I said fold to myself several times but then called.
I know now it should of been an instant fold because of what happened. I also know that I will fold in the future.
The cards came over and he only had  Ks 7h.
I heard someone say "You raised with that" My thoughts exactly.... Again I shouldn"t of called really... OUT before the first break, disaster....

I didn"t hang around, said my goodbyes and within 40 minutes I was back on the road to Liverpool....

Sort of enjoyed it but nevermind....
