im so annoyed that my car went wrong, was going to play the deepstack at holt organised by andy (baldusnew) as its a good laugh and a great day but the water pump seized up, ive fixed that (had a spare engine with a good water pump and belt sitting at my parents, their garden is like a scrapyard, its all my fault, bought a few projects and never got round to them) and thought ill play a bit online, blew $30 dollars in a few minutes (i was sitting in a too high level, going for a shoot, i know its a leak and i would not recommend it to anyone) and im kicking myself silly, i keep saying that online is a weakness in my game but i keep donking off cash like mad, so im not playing online for a while to save my insanity and pocket. im off to rileys tonight with a few friends to earn some league points and win some money. live poker i can sit back and play properly but online its like im playing gta4 so i go in like arnie and blast my chips and money around like no mans business, annoying.

Sorry Ant, I didn"t manage to make any use of your chips last night. My departure hand came with the blinds at 1000/2000 and me on the button. UTG Limped and I limped with A 10. The small blind raise to a total of 12000 which lead to the big blind and UTG folding. I shoved my remaining 19.5K in and the small blind called, turning over QJ which became a full house.
  How did you get on over the road? I"m getting extremely tempted to try the cash tables over there sometime soon.

sorry for the delay in my update, the cash game lasted 3 hands simon, it only cost me a quid all in all so not a bad loss.

ive got to describe my last few results, last friday was my friends home game and eventually getting to three way i nearly folded a flush to a all in but i eventually called (thanks antthecat, anthony really owes you one) and i took so many chips from that pot it was not too long before i took it down for a profit of £60 (seven runners £10 with one rebuy before the break, 10k starting stack, donk ask why 10k is a rebuy stack but there we go) over a four hour period, hourly rate £15, not bad.

Saturday afternoon i played up the palace, £3 rebuy, had a few rebuys(8 in all plus a add-on) for a investment of £30, i was second chip leader on the table and things were good until a new player comes in, just keeps open shoving and getting no resistance, im on the bb with a9 suited, lag shoves on the button, i snap call reasoning that my a9 is ahead, he tables kings, ffs, he shoved ten times in a row and when i call he has the bloody goods, by my moaning you can tell a ace did not come and i did not make a flush and im left with 2bb"s left, that lasted the next hand (his a9 beat my 73off, where is the justice hey!!!!) and im off home, as i felt good still i decided to play the tourny up norwich poker club as it was a £20 semi freezeout (£20 buy in, 5k starting stack, optional rebuy or add-on for £10 and then another rebuy or add-on for £5), off to a good start when i double up my starting stack but just before the first break i was back down to 5k when i shoved against a raise when i had a straight and a flush draw and he called, i missed but after five minutes the break came so i had my add ons, after the break i played quite passive but towards the final table bubble i mad a hero call when i had top pair and i faced a shove on the flop which was for all my stack, he shoved on a draw, i do not know how he missed but my pair held up and then final table, from eight got whittled to four but i only had 3 hands, i decided to make a shove with q9 suited on the sb as the blinds were 3k/6k with a ante of 500 and my stack was whittled down from 100k to 50k at this point, the bb snapped called when he looked at an ace then squeezed out a 9, dominated, i just wanted to be live, why did he have a 9, anything else as a 9 hit the flop but obviously his ace kicker was beating my queen kicker, i was out in 4th and got paid £67.

sunday i played the rileys £10 freezeout and from 15 runners i was out in 6th, lost a lot of chips when i called a aggressive shover(monkeyman) with j9, he had aces, aces held up, i read him for two high cards or ace-x suited but there we go, few hands later the button raised 3bb, i called on the sb with  ac 7s, bb folded, flop  qc 9c 8c, i shove and the button goes in the tank, two minutes pass and he calls, he shows  kc jd, turn was a blank and the river was  jh, im out, i was bored so i put my change in a fruit machine(problem is under control by the way) and won £30, as i said up top i fancied a bit of a cash game with this money so i wander to npc and sit at the cash table, that lasted a couple of minutes.

monday night i fancied a game so i made my way to rileys, there was 25 runners and it was a £5 double chance (£10 max stake) and i played like a mad man, callin an all in with pockets deuces, deuces held up against kj. i made a final table after nearly getting in trouble by a novice(she played nearly every hand) and after a hour i settle for a chop when i got heads up and i make £80,

for my las few days i have a profit of £130, not bad for a part timer, i hope it keeps going

antthecat:
ive hardly played any poker recently, rileys league is going ok for me but my mind has been somewhere else, today (march 15th) is my birthday, nothing special happened during the day (working on cars dont change whether its your birthday or not, they are sill a pain in the backside to work on) but in the evening i proposed to my girlfriend georgina, she said yes. so now im an engaged man (buying the ring came out of my bankroll, cant have a crack at the pro event at swansea now) poker in general will have to be one of the last things to do in my spare time but im still up for a few events in this season, just cant play the online league or online nationals. will be playing home games round my friends so will keep posting the madness that happens during the geldeston home game

monkeyman:
Congratulations on the engagement Ant. Is either the marriage ceremony or any part of the honeymoon being held at Dusk til Dawn? ::)
