Another Norfolk poker player

i must concentrate on live poker only. last night i played at rileys(where monkeyman also played) and to start with it was not too bad, maintained my starting stack before the break, pretty much maintained it to the final table(just stole a few blinds in one button orbit), waited for an ace to shove with on the final table, monkeyman departed, then a reasonable card rush and good position steals brought me up to level pegging, few players departed and "WERE IN THE MONEY". at this point i was on 56k, third place got ko"d and we split the prizepool 50/50 and had one hand for the league (in which i flopped a set and gave opponent richard two pair, he admitted he would have stacked off), BACK OF THE NET.

Get in there Mr Cat. My turn next time

have not had too much in the way of poker, thursday night was the £30 triple chance freezeout (£30+£5 total payment, you dont pay for your extra chips, 2k start stack, 2k again and 2k again, if not used it is classed as add-on"s) and i felt confident after my win at rileys on the 17th, started off beautifully when i raised on the button and the blinds fold, then it went pete tong when i flop two pair and someone stacks off with me and hits his gutshot, chips, few hands and i flop top two pair and player flopped his set, turned quads, chips, down to my last 2k after 30 minutes, had a ciggi (i was getting stressed) and got back to it, folded a few and then found kd qd on the bb, button limped and sb made up, i raise (4 big blinds on top) and call-call, flop was kh qc :3d:, sb checks, i shove, button reshoves, sb folds, button has ah js, yyyiiipppeeee double up coming my way until the (censored) river card was a td. im out.
sunday was rileys league, was card dead the whole tourney, had to shove on the sb with kh td and got snapped called by the bb, what are the chances but he had kc ks, im almost drawing dead pre, oh well, missed the board and im out (i was the bubble boy), as my friend pete was playing i offered to deal the cards, i hope my dealing was up to standard simon (knowing what the blinds were was a slight issue though) as i do like to think that i can deal cards well (i used to like magic tricks with cards when i was a kid).
tonight i was reading a harrington book when i realised something, im complaining about being card dead, the loosest player at the apat yarmouth regional is now complaining about being card dead, this world is becoming a funny place, i think a playing style change is definatley on the cards (i must admit im playing super tight and weak betting, its who ive been playing against, super loose players). i think anthony pickering should hang up his boots for a while(as he is too tight) and let the loose cannon antthecat(who has had more results in the past with creative plays) play a few tourneys and see who gets better results.
it has just occured to me, i think i have a split personality.
Laters as my workmate Nubby would say

hello boys and girls, hardly been playing but the last few tourneys i played ive cashed in every one, geldeston home game"s ive took down two weeks in a row and yesterday i played at palace casino i played a £3 rebuy, i admit i rebought quite a few times(10 in total) but i managed to roll up as the table chip leader before the break, after the break i played solid and got a healthy double up when i read a player to have ak and my sevens held up, made the final table and after a few re raise all in"s i had a lot of chips, in the end with four of us left and all even in chips we decided to take a four way chop for £100, result. back of the net.
rileys tonight and hope to keep the results going.
good luck to all
antthecat:
wow read season 4 and cant wait, i need to load betfair onto my laptop and have a good look around, cant wait to buy in for a few events, razz sounds brilliant and i will have a go at the £250 pro events as i like to add value to every tourney i play.
i was tempted to play the dtd 20-20 event this weekend but other things have cropped up so will play one of these soon.
i need to convince the other half to play poker as im bouncing off the walls whilst having to watch boring telly, any ideas or tips on this would be helpful.
