im down the pub as we speak and really just could not get anything together, ive scraped into the playoff league and just made stupid shoves, both in tourney and in sng. i am not playing anything during the week as im off with friends to play at the vic on saturday, does anyone know what tourneys are running on saturday the 11th(i think its the date) and might have a dip at a cash game.

i apologise for the fact i have not posted for a little while, monday i played(even though i said i would not) a tournament, 14 runners and £5 two dip semi freezeout, after i lost my first stack(a misread, i read his preflop raise for ace king and i paired my jack on the flop, shove, call, he shows ace jack, my jack ten suited was in trouble) i got in my groove, managed to get all my chips in preflop with aces (they did hold up for once) and made the final table as chip leader, was card dead and bluffing into the nuts every time, made a shove with a suited ace and got called by pocket tens, two aces on the flop saw me get abuse but a miracle ten on the river and i just said best hand won, nice playing against you, under my breath i was swearing blue murder but there we go.
friday night saw me made a outrageous bluff and it was not a poker hand, my girlfriend asked me to see her but i wanted to play my friends home game, i told her that i had a awful day at work and i was in a terrible mood. she said that dont bother coming round and biting her head off. funny thing was i was in a cheerful happy mood. the poker game was awful but i did make my tenner back.
yesterday lingy, wilby and myself went on a road trip to the victoria casino. as i have been there before for the razz event i knew what to expect but both lads eyes popped out and jaws hit the floor when we walked through the casino gaming floor. we had a bite to eat (well done burger had no meat cos it was so burnt it was a lump of charcoal, a bit overcooked i thought but no complaints as i was starving) and we put our names down for a £1-£1 self deal cash, we all sat with £200. the other players sat down (varing between min buy in and max buyin) and we were off. after four hours of me betting into the nuts(jack high flop, i had kj he had jj for a set) i decided to call it quits with a loss of £150. wilby moved to another table, lingy lost but won at roulette so he was happy. whilst waiting for wilby lingy and myself decided to shoot craps, i lost a tenner and he lost the same but it was fun to throw dice as we never done it before. 3am and wilby called it quits and was quite a bit down(im not disclosing how much but me and lingy did take the piss a bit on the trip home) we left, wilby disheartened and ready to quit poker, lingy was whinging could we stop for something to eat or he would have to eat my dashboard and myself, well i was getting quite hysterical(i always find anything funny when im tired and lingy drooling at every kebab house i drove past was funny, we did stop at mcdonalds just to keep him quiet) but i had a good time even though i lost, im proud that i controlled myself not to lose any more money, i knew i was running bad and did play a few hands badly so was chuffed with my self control. we got back at 6.45 this morning and i fell asleep at 8am(childrens telly seemed quite frankly so f****d up no wonder there are so many kids are so out of control) and woke at 1pm. im playing at the pub tonight and as its a new season i hope i get a good start as i really want a glass trophy just so i can show im good at something(i do have a trophy for winning a snooker tourney and im still proud that i won it).

sunday night was a waste of time, bad plays on my and my opponents parts, not a good start to the new league, i played last night round lingy"s and it was a sng type game, £5 entry, fast blinds and winner take all. after four games i was £30 up so happy with that, then i shown lingy the original poker den on youtube, no chips just £50 notes flying around, both of us were wet at the mouth, worth looking for. i have started to play online again and making $1.50 an hour, slow but steady will eventually win the race but its better that losing.

sunday pub league was a result, came second so i am well in contention for winning a trophy. that is what i am after. i went and played tonight and was not bothered, played rubbish but had some genius moments. just a note to you readers if you are playing the wcoap event and yet not booked a room travelodge are offering rooms in the nottingham area for £19 per night family room. just thought id mention it.

not much play live as been saving winnings for spending money for holiday to malta. i have been playing a bit online and ive found my second love in omaha cash again. i used to grind the omaha games to pay for a sng habit and as im not a great tourney player i have drawn up a plan, just grind the omaha games and leave sng"s well alone. dont get me wrong i can do well but tourneys just keep me scratching my head when i have to shove with crap cos i have less than 10bb and get called with a worse hand that usually wins. i have made (dont laugh as had a bit of a bad session today, kept getting outdrawn to four outers but that in a days work) £25 for the week. no poker at the pub so i might play the online league again, dependant on what i am doing in the evening(i am definatley not watching britain"s got no talent)
good luck to all
