Another Norfolk poker player
antthecat:
played a tourney up norwich and done awful but stayed away from the fruit machines which was great, came home early and played a bit of omaha, i did see a tourney running so decided to have a dip and i played well, was overall chip leader till near the money bubble when i ran into the nuts twice (was playing aggressive at this point) but survived and finally cashed in a online tourney which is a achievement. not much in the way of winnings but a cash is still a cash and quite proud of myself for showing discipline(basically i did not throw my laptop outside when i lost 2/3 of my stack in 3 hands) and now im growing in confidence.
boosting confidence ready for august, i cant wait for it.

more in the way of confidence boosting, i final tabled a £3 rebuy, 20 odd runners, slowish structure and a lot of chips flying(especially by me lol). i decided to just keep pumping and shoving with anything in the rebuy period, eventually got a half decent stack after the 8th rebuy, an add on was requested and break, after the break i was card dead but survived by blind raises when there was limpers(set up a tight image after the break) and doubleed up after a coin flip.
the final table did not improve in the way of cards but the action was tight so i stole the antes for a while and grew to a healthy stack, then 8th place was ko"d, the money bubble, usually the bubble is tight(so people say, this is all new to me lol) but it felt like the rebuy period again, 2 orbits of blinds and antes and i was getting short but could on get my chips in in good position as usually there was 2 limpers or raisers when i was on the button(it seemed fishy but i should have pushed then) and i finally got it all in utg with qj off and got called by pocket fours, missed all my draws and fours stood up, i was the bloody bubble boy. never mind as really enjoyed myself and played superb imo considering the superb card rush that i was missing.
tonight is the home game so on recent form i should take this one down (hopefully)

friday nights home game was the usual, lost all my chips when i was ahead on the flop and got crushed by a rivered flush, so dealt the game for a bit and during this i got a text saying "fancy playing cash up norwich", the offer was too good to refuse so after midnight picked wilby up and went to norwich, wilby got straight in but i had to wait for an hour but i took the atm"s seat so supposedly there was no easy money, wilby was £400 up at this point so i was just praying for a double up (i sat with £40), one round of omaha saw me treble up when there was a 3 way all in and i had the worst hand on the flop, set vs two pairs vs my up and down straight draw, an ace on the turn gave me the straight and a healthy treble up, back to holdem and got paid for a nut flush and i was £130 up, that was enough at 5.15am and wilby followed suit £500 up. it was a good session, sundays pub game was awful but hey ho, you cant win them all.

sorry i have not blogged for a while but just not playing often and when i have played its been poor results, spent £50 in rebuys in a £5 rebuy and just could not build a stack, just came from the pub and came nowhere. also had my laptop crash so will have to reload my bluesq and jennings poker clients so have not played online for a while. i have been putting my money on my motorbike cos i would like to get that back on the road and poss ride it to dtd for the wcoap.
as ive got the week off from the girlfriend(i love it when she works late shifts) i will be playing during the week so will keep you posted
good luck to all

as the rain is stopping play at the moment(im working on a mitsubishi pajero, changing the rear main oil seal, a real headache job that i had to do at home outside in the muddy field, LOVELY) just thought i would bring u up to speed. i could not be arsed to play too much poker but i did play a bit of pool for my local pub, i won both my matches but we lost 7-3. i did play the friday night home game round my friends and came 1st. a result imo.
i am considering playing the league match tomorrow but financial situation is on the bleek side at the moment but i might make an apperance if this job gets done tomorrow and if it stops raining.
