Another Norfolk poker player
antthecat:
just realised why i am not keen on online poker, playing microstakes cash on stars, sitting with a couple of dollars i was dealt 9d 9c on the bb, utg limp, sb made up and i bubble it up to 8c, call call, flop ts :2d: 4h, sb bets 15c, i call as i have bet him off pots on the turn but the utg player raises to 60c, sb folds (i was right) and i think that utg player is making a move so i shove for the rest of it $1.54, he snap calls and has th 4d, turn was a ten.
oh well, that was the freeroll profits blown, i will reload soon and play slightly higher stakes (5-10c and 10-20c) and definatley play the low limit 8 game(it is profitable) as i enjoy betting the razz hand to suddenly realise its stud hi.

hello everyone, im sorry i have not posted anything for a while but ive had a break from the game, for a few months i didnt play a single hand but this last month ive been doing bad things with money(roulette machine at coral and playing fruit machines) just to get the "BUZZ" that i used to get but it is costing me money and also a good friend of mine and poker nut passed away a few weeks ago, we used to talk about how it would be cool to play some big tourneys in the uk but unfortunatley he passed before taking a shot at the big time. With this in mind its time to say "Sod It" to my fiance that ive been listening to and get playing and maybe take the shot that we both dreamed of.
Tonight is a £30 freezeout at the grosvenor casino, 6k starting stack so a reasonable amount of creative play. will report how it goes on in the morning.

last night at the grosvenor was terrible, i raise with ace-ten, opponent has ace-king when we both hit a flop and i eventually had to shove with 7-8 suited and got snap called by a monsterous jact ten(it was for over half his stack) so im not off to a good start but i felt good playing, i seemed to forget (not being too nasty as everyone who plays at the grosvenor are nice to talk to) that the standard of play is terrible(pure gamblers) and next time im well prepared for aniliation(check spelling).
not too sure of when im next playing as i dont have a bankroll(its now the wedding/holiday/snap-on toolbox fund) but it should be next week so will post what goes on and hopefully some results soon.
antthecat:
just been losing a lot of money playing rush poker on full tilt. lost it all after being tilted by runner runner. never mind, got to tell myself that im not an online player and stick to live, oh well, only lost £25 so all in all a good learning curve.
not too sure of any live poker coming up(apart from the gukpt club event in yarmouth) but will keep you posted as and when i play
