i apologise that i have not posted about last weekend yet, just been busy, saturday saw me play a £3 rebuy, it was fast and very loose, got my tens beaten by 45o three times in a row. absolutley pointless showing up but was a bit of fun. sunday i played down the pub and recently i have not cared about the pub game but i really wanted to just final table and give myself a boost, i played my best poker and came second overall in the tourney, only did not come 1st because the blinds were so high had to shove during heads up without looking at my cards, if i looked i still would have shoved cos i has 10d 8d. a sng was starting down the pub so played that and cleaned up.

all in all a blooming good weekend, next installment of poker is on thursday evening but deciding what tourney is the best vaue. will let you know

i decided to get some friends together and go up norwich, as you can tell im out and friends are still in, well what happened was there was a raise from me with :as: qs, a shove and a call, i squeeze play and shove for 12,000 total(blinds 200 400) and call, i was crushed by  ad1 kd and ac kc. whoops, just tried to get to 20k and blind out for a few hours until final table, that plan went belly up. oh well only in for £20 so no real biggy. tomorrow is the home game and we are having a problem with trying to squeeze people in, we only have enough space for ten at a squeeze so another table may have to be set up, where the table is going to be is the other question, also we are short of chips, the problem is that the host is so friendly she wants all the pub players to play but its a bit of a head scratcher which is not a problem but seating is the real issue. im resisting a cash game but have to keep in control, family reckon that im playing a bit too much, and i am. so im slowing down a bit and swatting up some more, im now off to play snooker to kill time.

will let you know how i get on.

after the snooker i was still waiting for wilby so sat down at the cash table and won all my buy ins back and some more. it will never happen again(not!!!!!).

friday nights home game and there was only 7 runners(no worries about seating), i went off like a rocket, raising with 93 suited and kept calling raises and making a flush on the river did help me winning that pot, i took it down to the upset of wilby who did reckon he had an edge heads up, my rear end, as he was aggressive i used his aggression against him so when i hit top pair, top kicker i fast played knowing he would shove, he did and i snap called, he only had a gutshot straight draw and he missed. i was using this game to try things out and it was inconclusive as i could not miss so will have to try sunday.

today i have been asked to play a few tourneys but im not playing as i do need a break and my parents garden is getting overgrown. just the pub in the evening.

a quick question and please answer this, does anyone like lady gaga"s song poker face?  i find it so annoying but just wanted peoples opinion.

wow, ive realised i have not been playing online for a while, it is cos i done my biscuit trying to chase dead money. i used to play a lot of omaha online and it was profitable and it was paying for my sng habit so at the end of the month i will be putting a bit of money on and grinding on the omaha.

i suppose i better get on with the gardening. pub poker on tonight.

pub poker was its usual suck out and bad beat fiasco, i needed to bust early so no problem.  monday was a good day, saw my friend rich who was out of hospital for a couple of days, was so nice to see me olde mucker. i kept getting hassled by a few friends who wanted to play that evening so a few phone calls and located rileys snooker hall in norwich. it was a £5 two dips max freezeout sort of thingy. we joined as members (£7 each, thats a lot in my opinion) and played the tourney, well as everyone know i do like to blast my chips on the odd occassion and was out after 1 hour 32 minutes(a personal best if i dont go deep) but i was not bothered, the tourney has no real value as top prize was £60 and if your in for £10 then its a struggle to find purpose but it was a laugh. a few frames of snooker (£6 per hour was steep) and a cash game started, £10 max buyin and blinds 25/50p so had to get jiggy, after an hour had £20 in notes after people bought chips from me and £30 in chips but had to lend a tenner to a friend so up £50 minus expenses and when i get paid back the £20 off my friend(he played the tourney with a loan from me) so a profitable evening. its a real shame there is not many places in norfolk to play cash as i feel its one of my big strengths.

speak when i have another installment of low level poker to tell.
