Another Norfolk poker player

overall last night i thought the onine league was good, i must admit i was rushing between laptop and pub league so could not concentrate but i was called over to the laptop when i had a big hand(everyone could look but i made the decisions, one might have been wrong but hey), cant wait till next time, its getting 100%. the pub league has ran its course and i secured second in the league and im off to milton keynes(might have spelt it wrong), i feel that my game is sharp and even my online game is getting better and better.
a funny thing happened this morning at work, our open sign has been stolen, there has been a spate of sign thefts around beccles lately, i just thought it was funny but the boss had an other opinion.
antthecat:
all i have to say at the moment is ouch, that hurt, i was putting some wheels into the boot of our loan mondeo and i forgot the boot struts are on there way out, as i leant into the boot area, the boot fell on top of my head, ive got a huge bruise on top of my noggin and a headache. hope the bruise goes down for the weekend.
antthecat:
the bruise is down and my headache has dissapeered, i played at the palace last night(they have changed all the buyins to my disgust) and i absolutley done my best at donking off rebuy after rebuy, i had kk cracked by ten-four when he flopped two pair, i flopped a flush and was beaten by a a nut flush and generally it was awful how i played, i called with the low end of a straight and i knew that my opponent had the higher straight. i misread my hand(due to tiredness) kc qc on the bb and i would have made a boat full of queens. i would have pushed if i knew what i did have, i mucked and a second later i realised what i folded. bugger.
it was not the confidence boost that i needed for the weekend but it was not all too bad, i made most of my rebuys back on the blackjack table as i was waiting for my friend who was playing really well, i wont try that trick again(my friend can make his own way up there lol)
at walsall i will be reconisable as ill be wearing a t-shirt with Ant The Cat on the back and a bit of writing on the front.
antthecat:
i decided to have a stab online and entered the $6000 guaranteed $5 entry on bluesq, i started off really well, then i walked into aces when i had queens on a ten high flop, he limped preflop, i raised, he called, ten high flop, he raised so i shoved(wrong move but starting with 1500 so i had to get busy with my 1600, please tell me if that was a good move or not?) and he called, i looked at aces and my heart sank, it appears that i am walking into big hands all the time, still confident about walsall(hope the weather gets better as its only a bit wet where i am in good olde norfolkshire). ill be popping in the casino on friday night as ive got to register there and get the missus signed up into the casino and have a wander around.
see u there if your going and good luck to all
antthecat:
my thoughts on walsall was that the drive up there was boring, the travelodge didnt give me and the missus a double bed and the two single beds were not even in height so not a chance of some "rock the casbah" lol (she was in a mood friday night) but the casino was brilliant, all the players were friendly and it was great putting a name to a face, my play was tight to start with but i didnt get off the ground, bluffed a few pots, did fold a king flush cos i had a feeling he had a ace high flush(he did show it) got short in chips, shoved with 9"s and walked into kings, buggerations. the food was good(bought a bacon sarnie and it was gorgeous). good luck to who wins it. and the drive home was boring but scary at one point, we were driving and a burning clutch smell entered the car, i thought it was mine as mine is on its last legs but a truck ahead of me was smoking from the bellhousing area so phew.
i could not resist playing down the pub tonight and i wish i didnt bother, i put my chips in ahead and got outdrawn(not going to bother you with the details) and the cash games tonight were fruitless. i was so annoyed i did something that i used to do when i started playing properly and i lost my cool, punched my table and said what a [censored] this other player was. i am so ashamed as i thought i learnt that bad beats happen and i usually say nice hand(i did shock a few people with the outburst) and i just blew up completely. on a good note though my darts are getting better and better.
i have decided that im going to take a break as my friend was saying that i was not enjoying the game and was throwing good money at bad situations so on that advice im not playing any poker for a while. my bankroll is down, confidence is at a all time low and im frustrated with the game so the blog is going to be quiet for a while(unless a non poker story comes up so keep an eye out). im umming and arring whether to buy in to the horse event as i feel that im just throwing money away. as kenny rodgers sung "you got to know when to hold em and know when to fold them" im going to foldem at the moment.
speak soon.
