Tales of the Honeybadger
APAT:
Good luck with the blog Louis.
Honeybadg:
... I estimate that I am 15 stone 4 today ... I don"t really weigh myself when in London ... there are too many good things to eat!
Tonight some spicy calves livers and meatballs plus spaghetti ... it"s not an ideal diet for losing weight ... but it is ideal in firing the serotonins in my head.
Last night we (Jeanie and I) went to the Cinammon Kitchen in London - sister restaurant to the excellent Cinammon Club ... I was left bored by the tardy service ... food good ... but you expect that at the price ... essentially they are trying to milk the Cinammon Club"s name which is entirely tedious. It scores zero on the official scale.
Not sure what tomorrow holds ...
Day 2 Gambling ...
Horses +31.50 ... this is just luck I assure you ... +$44 ... Running Total ... +$942
Poker ... just about to fire up the tables!
Wish me luck ...
Louis
Honeybadg:
... classic night"s poker for me so far ... make a little progress on the cash tables ...
Enter a satellite for the Betfair $55k - $400 buy in ... get kicks out 9th for 2 spots ... KK vs AT ... sigh.
Eyes Wide Shut just about to start minus $75 for the night if I don"t cash.
Running Total +$867 ...
Feeling good ...
Honeybadg:
LOL - First out ... 88th of 88 ... now that is variance ...
AQ limpUTG ... raised ... called by another and I call ...
flop KQx ... I check ... check ... half pot bet in position ... I decide to push ... as feels like a miss ... he flip KT ... and holds ... RUBBISH POKER FROM ME ...
Let"s save it on the cash tables ...

Honeybadg:
... or lose it on the cash tables ...
Lost a buy in ($200) ... annoying ... pegged back to +$667 ...
I was playing pretty lose - up and down - which is fair play - sitting just below $200.
I am seated after the big stack who is raising everything.
$1/$2 NL by the way.
He raises to $7 - I call with KT ... flop is K52 ...
Standard continuation bet ... which I call ...
Turn is a blank ...(7) ... he keeps betting ... (which he has with everything) so I call ...
River card is the killer a dirty TEN for top two pairs.
He bets - I raise all in - he calls with 55 ... GREAT!
Thoughts:
I am playing loose - and as such have to accept the Volatility - bad play earlier in the $50+5 Turbo ... gives me the chance to win or lose more ... unlucky in the $55k qualifier with KK busted by ATs ...
However - minimising losses is the same as maximising gains - so I think I will peg it back a little today ...
Glad it is Friday- had a manic week - lots of reports write - things to get moving at work - social football tonight - fitness over fatness!
Looking forward to the league game on Sunday.
Happy gambling.
