Having read on here that Eck was recommending this book, I bought at the start of Feb. It gave me confidence going to Walsall where I played my best and most confident poker. It"s a great read, I hope you enjoy.

I have Started this Book and already it is helping, by thinking more about ranges and reading flop texture!! I"ll let you know if it REALLY helps though...or like most things you find that only really you can change your ways!!!
League game like Most All this year so far have been a rather drab affair - Manage to start of OK and build a nice stack - through some tight aggression - man i am tight as well (something i am trying to loosen up and maybe at the route of my troubles) - and then manage to loose half of it with AQ Vs a shortish stacks QQ - and then couldn"t find away back (to tight).... pushed for 3k when blinds 150 -300 a25 - with 88 from the Cutoff - got called by the BB (whom I"d doubled) to finish me off with 10,10... bye out in 30th!
best result so far 19th in round 3 - MUST DO BETTER!!!
Any way my focus turns to the WCOAP - and which if any satellite to play - I Really want to play all the events and if i can SAT in - then it means that there will be more money for the trip and that can only be a good thing - the next thing to consider - which to play - $20 1in10 - $10 1in20 - $5 re-buy 1in??
Probably them all - But a man has gotta do what man has gotta do!
rubertoe:
I didn"t play in the $20 sat but i did play last nights $10 - yet to no avail! out in 20th after being Card dead all night - the best hand i saw was 99 all night - but them"s the breaks!!
I wont be playing in the re-buy tonight - i need to conserve the BSq Roll for the League games - so i will be clickfesting in to the ME and the Horse.
Plan for the week -
Wednesday - Work - 6th Anniversary (must not forget card and flowers)
Thursday - Work - Poker - Click-fest - Poker
Friday - Work - Weekend Starts- few beers - Home Game @ 8 - No Click-fest
Sat - shopping - Rugby - Poker - Click-fest - poker
Sun - Poker - Dinner round the In-laws - chillaxation
I may well pop online for a few minutes @ 9pm on Friday but - i may well be begging for a PLO seat in a few weeks - Also it depends on which day ME seat i get - if its Friday then i will play the PLO - subject to a seat - if not then the ME and the Horse! Gotta keep the budget to a min - i am having a hard time convincing the missus that it is gonna be great!
rubertoe:
Clickfest tonight - My fastest finger better not let me down!!!
I"ll be here at 8:55 refreshing away - waiting for that all important link - for those ten minutes 8:55 - 9:05 - a lot of us will enter the twilight zone where the only thing that matters in inputting financial details onto a screen and pressing enter - but what a strange 10 minutes they are!!!!
DO NOT DISTRURB BETWEEN 8:55pm and 9:05 PM!!!
rubertoe:
I"m in!!! Woohoo!!!
I thought that the Seats would sell out pretty quickly - they do in general but alas - i was able to get a ME Seat - Not going to bother with the PLO now as have chosen Saturday as the preferred Start day - however i am still planning on traveling to Nottingham on the Friday so i can get to go to the card room before the ME starts!!
Probably, i will still try for the HORSE click fest tomorrow and hopefully that will be paid for out of tonight"s Home game winnings!!! ;D
10p20p Cash Game, 7-2 rule in play, Stradles, Dealers Choice and 150 BB max buy in - and a fairly tough game to beat!!! But i do have home field advantage!!!!
