well I just cant belive it, this wonderfull game of ours never fails do P*** me off, some days no matter how well you play you just seem to get out drawn, just played  3 $10 sng on tilt only 6 max and I was chip leader on them all, I got queens cracked by 9"s. A"s cracked by jj"s and my ace king hummped by ace jack.

I know the whole getting your money in good, chat "you will win most of the time". But man it susks when it happen.

Time do go and donk some money off in cash. Well lets hope not!!!

5 min later Donkathon just started! LMAO

Hey guy"s last week was not my greatest poker week ever, as posted above I managed to get out drown more times than I care to remember, but hey im over that now. Only took four day LOL.

So played the $10 qualifier for the welsh online, was in high spirits after my league performance. On the whole played solid but at crucial time I made a boob. 26 players left sitting in top 8 with 15 getting seat, I can prob fold my way to a seat Oh noooo not me I decide to mess with big stack.

Im in big blind , the big stack make a min raise for the millionth time it seem, which he has successfully taken down the blinds with most of the time as the table was playing tighter than a duck"s ass. So back to the hand I look at ace queen. Think why not they have been raising to much to I shove thinking ill just take it down now, but no insta call he has ace king. NICE PLAY KENNY out an no seat for me, that was not my smartest play every.

But I buyin to event anyway, I don't know what it is but me and these online champs don't seem to get along, I felt like after the first hour of play you have to double your stack as the blinds start to get nasty and ante kicks in.
With this in mind I decided to open my game a losing some small pot, and winning some too, staying around the 9000 mark for first 20 min, I get it back up  to 10800 with some steals. Then I lose a big pot with a bluff, few people commented on it being a good play but I would much rather have kept the chips.

The hand goes raise by The dukeof hassard not sure which duke this is, he raises pre to 560, blinds 100/200, i look at 5 6 hearts pretty hand, so I decide to call.

flop comes 7 2 2 rainbow, I check for the check raise, they bet 400 so I re raise to 1000, maybe should have raised more. They call turn is a 9, goes check check, river is a jack, Dukehazzard check, I don't think they have much, so decide a sort of value bet/bluff of 1400 just under half the pot. They tank and call. In my mind great call with ace high. Maybe I should have bet turn or more on the river but the way the handed played I could have had a small ish pair, with my re raise on the flop or spiked a jack.

But none the less I tip my hat nice call Dukehazzard.

What are your thoughts on this hand?????

Card dead for a while, down to around 9000 chips I have around 13 big blinds look at pocket 9"s, with blinds at 300/600 plus ante. mid position play raises to 1800, I decide to reraise to 4200. They call looking for a good flop. It comes King Queen Jack, nice not quite what I wanted. They shove, I fold. I think I should have pushed pre flop or let it go but I think, I needed to get some chips.

I pick up some small pots but ante it starting to hurt my stack of 4115. I'm on the button I have 10 9, I decide to shove small stack is in big blind and I know they will call with any to and I should be live. Pot total just 8000 so nice to win it, as expected small stack calls showing 6 2 and they hit trips, NH clearly not my night out next hand.

WELL PLAYED TO ALL WHO CASHED AND TO THE WINNER I WATCHED IT ALL. I would like the blinds to be at 15min or have levels stating at 25/50 for the oline champs.


As for my poker I have decided to refocus on cash games, the format I love to hate, I have been playing 0.05/0.010 tables and making an decent return over last few days.
Oh and thanks to Mr ladbrokes for my free £10 got it up to £40 on cash tables today.
