hi, ive lapsed and been playing stud cash on ladbrokes. playing in a pot limit 15/30c game, as i have not played too much stud i only bought in for $6 to test the water but the action was loose, everyone was calling the original bring in so i was playing 3suits that straighten and kept catching flushes and was being called by one pairs, only lost 2 pots at showdown in a hours play and left the table with $20 so im up $14. now off to have a bath and try to loosen my back as ive pulled it this evening working on cars outside in the freezing cold. no poker tomorrow as christmas shopping as its late night shopping but the friendly game with my mates on friday so will let you know how i get on
speak soon

holy crap, i woke up this morning feeling like crap. got a headache, shivering and feeling like my belly has turned into a washing machine. did play poker last night and made a few quid, was playing and every time i was being outkicked or being sucked out by runner runner, i got down to 3bb and found ad js, best hand ive seen so shoved and got 3 callers, a :as: came on the flop and the pot was shipped my way. then i found qs qc and there was a raise before me so i shoved and got called, queens stood up and then i was the chip leader, one of my opponents shoved and i looked at kd kh, reshoved to protect my hand and took my friend out. by 12.30am there was only one opponent but we took a chop and i had £40 and my friend took £20. so all in all a good evening but not a good morning/afternoon.

hi, not been playing poker at all as flu has got in my way, i did write a letter to santa asking him of a few things and one of them being season 3 dates and ive read we will be getting these dates on the 26th/27th, another thing i asked for was the secret of how to win a tournament but santa said he was too busy for that one so i have bought myself harrington on holdem vol 1 and 2.
Have a good christmas everyone and if there is a game in the norfolk/suffolk area on the 25th then let me know lol.

hi there, i did play tonight but did lousy, went in with ak and got called with 67s, six on the flop ko"d me. been reading the season 3 shedule, shame there will not be any regionals but maybe thats a good thing, the yarmouth regional had a crap turnout and was not my luckiest venue(i was the first one out on 3 occassions). but cant wait to play the league/club event, sounds great, but i dont know which club to play for, monkeyman who are u representing? i should be playing the first live national at walsall, depending if i get a seat from the clickfest that will go on. i dont think that ill be playing many if any of the online nationals, $75 is quite a bit of lolly when i dont play online well but will be as said in the league as its a low buy in. thinking of playing during the week at norwich but i cant play the £5 rebuy on wednesday as im going out and on friday im playing at home with my mates instead of playing the the £10 double chance rebuy(2 shots at losing a tenner). i havent got much time for poker on the other days next week as the ball and chain has got me by the short and curly"s, its a shame that she does not want to learn how to play as i think she could use her blondness to a killer advantage but then again i think she is so wet between the ears that she would not do well and be a absolute donkey. i hope she does not read this but as its poker there is a very slim chance of being busted. im talking to a friend about maybe trying to run a cardroom locally but i cant see any financial gain in doing it as i dont think anyone will pay a rake of £4 for a £5 rebuy event, even if its dealt. if anyone has had a crack at it then please let me know as it would be nice to run a local spieler(sorry cardroom) and actually have somewhere to play and try to have a poker boom in norfolk/suffolk.
now off to bed, speak soon

i was playing a little bit of stud cash and with the profit of my mornings work i decided to have a dip at a tourney on gala poker, i played in a $5 nlhe freezeout. i decided to play ubertight and waited for hands to start off with and when i make the final table i would use that image to good use, about hand 12 i was dealt kd kh on the button and raised to 60(3bb), the bb called, a flop of qh 7s 5c and he raised, i reraised, he shoved and i called, the kings held againsed his qs ts and i was shouting shipment. hand 20ish i found ak utg, i raised and a short stack went ott for 600, i called and he showed k10, a ten on the river doubled him up but oh well, still had 2400. hand 25 i had 7h 7s so i raised, got reraised so i folded, he show aces voluntry, phew, hand 29ish i had ad tc utg, i raised 3bb(120) got a call from the big blind, flop was 8c 7c 4s, check check, turn was 8h, he bet, i reraise and he instafolds, now up to 2900. lots of hands folded until hand 60ish when i found 5h 5s, i limped in mid position, the button raises, the big blind shoves, i wimply fold, the button calls with jh jd against ad tc, a 5c on the river makes me boil over but the jacks held and we lost another player. i was on the bb with the powerhouse 9d :2d:, lots of limpers and i check, the flop was :2c: 9h 7h, i fire a big bet and get called by a short stack who had kc ks and i knock him out and i was shouting shipment again. the next hand i undo all my good work with 8s 7h on the small blind, its folded to me and i raise 3bb(300), the bb calls, a flop of ad 7s ac saw me fire a 600 bet, he calls, the turn was a blank 5d, i fire a 1000 bet and he calls, the river was :3s:, i check and he checks, he had ah :2s: and i was down to 1600. a few hands later i was utg with 4d 4h, i shoved(on tilt) with my 1600(the blinds were 50, 100) and the sb calls for his 600 with k9 and the bb called with a10, a board of qc 7s 5c 5h 7d saw the ace kicker win the hand and i was counterfeited. i was screaming ffs as i did fancy doing well in that tournament. i didnt need my tight image for the final table as i was out in 288th out of 692 players. never mind, i will be trying later.
