Swinebag:
top pair is rarely good after a raise and a reraise all in.

Ul though

ive had some form, finally. played in a new local venue, the norwich poker club(www.norwichpokerclub.co.uk). its a private club but its free to join. i played in a £5 rebuy, there is only two rebuy"s allowed before 90 mins or if you havent used your rebuys you can use them as a add-on"s if you wish. the action for the first 30 mins was fast and loose but after the break the game became tight but aggressive. i came 5th out of 18(?) runners but only the top 4 get paid, bugger. here is how i busted. blinds are 600/1200, i was on the small blind with 11,000ish and the big blind had 25,000. folded around to me and i shoved with  kh 9d, he thought for a minute(felt like a hour) and then called with ks qs, the flop was 4s 9s 7d so i paired him but the marvelous ts came on the turn and i was smoking a marlboro in my car without any cash in my pocket.
the venue is brilliant, everyone is friendly and welcoming.

see you soon

hit more in the way of form, come second in a 10 seat sng on pokerstars, lost a up and down heads up battle but was worth playing this evening, annoyingly though when i had aces twice, i got no action even though i limped preflop and only the bb checked, had to bet the turn and they folded. never mind, trying to save enough for a gukpt event seat for next year. still thinking about quitting but as im on form at the moment, i think i will put that idea on hold until i get suck-out on again.

See you soon

played at the pub this evening and had a bit of success, as we are now putting a fiver into the pot there is a prize for coming in the top three. tonight went crap to start with but then hit a few hands and tripled up. managed to come second(albeit with some luck), a particular hand helped, i had  :3h: 4h and on the button with only three left on the final table, i pushed and got called by the small blind with  ts td,  but the flop came  :2d: 8 6c qs and the turn was the  5s and he was brought down to 3bb"s. i came second overall i pushed on the small blind with a queen and he had a ace, whoops but there we go, £15 up towards a gukpt event, need a lot more but there we go, now off to bed to my poor girlfriend who hates me playing poker but she knows that its one of my passions and supports me(she has not said she supports me but i hope so, this game causes arguements between me and her, she thinks its just gambling where i tell her its got skill involved). speak to u tomorrow about some more poker.

i have had a satori moment. i now know what is the most profitable way of making money(little and often) at poker. some people can play online and are quite successful but i never really take online seriously so when i play, its usually just passing time and i do deposit on my account a lot. i have been ranting that i am thinking about quitting poker but last night i feel that my game is sharp and im only getting sucked-out by quite frankly s**t players down the pub. i have realised that to make money at this game then im only playing my last $20 on pokerstars and concentrate at live poker tournaments. i played at the norwich poker room(im going to call it npr so i dont sue my boss for r.s.i lol) and i got heads up, we decided to chop the pot 50/50 as we were both even and i came home with approx £50 more than what i started with(it was a single table with 9 players and one life before the break, i didnt use my life so i used it as a add-on). will be playing on friday(only cos the misses has gone out) so ill let you know how i got on.
