FORM FORM FORM. i took down the local home game. it did not go too good when i raised pre with ad1 kd and got a caller(very loose), flop was ah :as: 4c, he shoves, i snap call(about 1/2 my stack), he shows 7d 7h, turn was 7c, river was 9c. not good but it did prove to me that players are going to have to get ssssoooooo lucky to beat me. i plugged away and won a few juicy pots when there was 3 left i had ac ks on the bb, the sb was chip leader, he raised, i shove, he snap calls with ad1 jh, board did not improve his hand, woop woop, down to two after 1/2 hour of grinding small pots and i was behind in chips by 2/1 but i felt good. i was on the sb with ac qd, i raise, he calls, flop kd tc 4h, he bets, i think he has nothing and buying the pot so i shove, snap call he flips kc td, i was dead to the jack, the turn was the beautiful jc and the river was the very safe 5h. i had the chip lead, he kept shoving though so when i looked at 7s 8s i asked for a count, i could afford to gamble at a 60/40 and still just have him outchipped so i call, he flips jh 4c so i was in better shape than first thought and even better when the flop was 8h 8d :3s:, turn was :2d: and he was drawing dead. i got a bit of stick calling his all in with a suited connecter but when i explained why i called, even he had to aggree with the call(it might be loose but i felt like he was shoving light so decided to have a gamble)

just thought i would post the fact i have not played too much poker, it been the pub league(if you can call it poker, it is a good laugh though) and one game round my new pad(which i took down even though everyone could see my hole cards if they looked at the glass cabinate behind me, i only noticed it after the game). i hope to try to drum a few players tonight for a home game but if not then a trip to kings lynn is on the cards for saturday evening as the dragon is out. i hope to buyin for the next apat tourney as the wcoap was excellent(but unprofitable, was waiting for my friend wilby as he was playing the £50 freezeout which he took down after a 5 way chop, i was losing money on the river at cash games, not a huge loss but should have had some profit)
speak soon

Maybe you should try your hand at one of those APAT online national thingies. The last last couple seem to have been profitable for the season 2 yarmouth posse. ;D

sounds tempting, but im no good online. played the geldeston home game last night and only won one hand for the night. played too tight and passive and bled my chips away. thinking i need to let some aggression out i sat on stars(deposited £20, had $30 to play with) and played a bit of holdem cash, lost $10 in 5 minutes(aa vs ak, board was jc qd tc, no king turn or river, standard but i did get the 4th bet in first and then he shoved, i cant fold surely????) so played a heads up sng for $5, lost that and accepted his rematch, lost that also, lucky fish(he kept shoving so a10 seemed to be above his range imo, he had aces when i called in the second match, poor timing, about 20 degrees out, i was certainly pinking and ready to detonate and melt down soon) so decided to play omaha, sat at 2c-5c game with my last $10 ready to donate and i suddenly had a card rush, i was up to $43 and could not miss, this was at 2am and i thought i would play for a bit longer, missed a double flush and straight draw when he had bare aces, i kept pot betting and he kept calling and i missed the draws, his last bet of $1.12 i had to call as there was $19.50 and i did have queens so was hoping, i was down to $20 at 2.45 and was not happy and feeling really tired but i thought ill play till 3am and go to bed. at 2.59 i had $19.73 and held ad1 kd qs qh, i raised the pot(15c), got one caller, flop was qd td tc, he pot bet, i repotted him, he repotted me, we get all the money in the pot(cant you blame me, full house and a gutshot straight flush draw) and he held jc ts :2s: 4c, a set, happy days, the turn was 7h and the river was th to give him quads, at 3am i did retire from the game and had no money at all.
im starting to wonder whether im wasting my money at poker as it seems im getting very unlucky every time i try to play, i know i was having a shoot and not playing within my bankroll but i get my money in ahead most of the time and always get unlucky, maybe i should play a lot more and not play when the swing is not in my favour
