Grant's Glasgow Banter
Santino67:
Finally sorted out my bankroll at Betfair and deposited $300 in 888 and played my first game on their site last night. Missed first 45 minutes as i wasn"t home from work yet then settled down with my 3k chips with blinds at 40/80. Watched a few hands to get a feel for it and saw an ugly amount of limping preflop, generally 6/7 handed with nobody having a clue where they were after the flop.
First hand I played in cut off had 8c 9c with 2 limpers already in so raised it up 3*, button and one of limpers called me. Lovely bingo flop of 7c ts jc ;) , action goes check, I bet 480, button min raises to 960, EP folds and in went my remaining 2.2k chips. Button calls flips 10/7 and spikes another 10 to send me packing :D
Very short and not very sweet, but a good taste of what maybe in store on 888.

Very unlucky Grant. If I had a fiver for every time I"ve been rivered on 888 I could retire. Oh wait... :D

Played the Newcastle sat last night and got up to around 10k at one point before running AA into 88 on an 8 high all hearts flop with the ace in my hand. All went in and the 8"s held so left me pretty short. Shoved in open spot about 10 mins later with A6 and ran into AK behind. Well done to the 4 who binked a seat, look forward to seeing you all down there 8)
Played my first 888 cash table last night but kept it low at 5c/10c as I"ve limited my deposit and hope to build my account. Started with $10 and finished with $36+ so happy with return and will dabble further again tonight.

playing my first PLo game on 888 to brush off the cobwebs before Newcastle. Currently 9th of 25 from 89 runners so happy with play thus far. Blinds up every 10 mins so will get going again pretty soon I imagine
