Grant's Glasgow Banter
Santino67:
Firstly a belated Happy New Year to you all, I hope the hangovers are all gone and life"s good for everyone.
So tonight the mini league started and a very enjoyable game it was, with a great structure and plenty of play. Thanks for the table chat gang, It makes such a nice difference to the (lack of) chat in most Betfair games since the new site got up and running. Probably the main reason i haven"t bothered grinding the cash tables in the past 6 months and just played the MTTs.
So again i bubbled for the cash after Stu bok"d me :D Was going along very nicely till i ran my ac kc into kh ks and donked majority of my stack, but fairly happy with 9 points on the board before the head-hurting experience of the PLO tomorrow night. Probably shouldn"t be too honest on here beforehand but I"m not particularly experienced at PLO having played only about 20 times in cash/tourney combined. Will give it a go and attempt to gain a few more points to head to the final mini league games on Wed/Thur/Fri.
Still to post my 2010 part 2 on here as i didn"t get it updated before New Year so promise I"ll get it sorted in next day or 2.

Just as an aside gang, any comments about the blog so far would be appreciated. Any suggestions about content so far or for future posts, I"m more than happy for a bit of constructive criticism and ideas as this is my first attempt at a blog and I"d like to improve as i go along (other than Davie B"s "You"re a fish" comment :D )
Cheers
Grant

Cheers Ger, and before we head to the PLO tonight I"ll admit that I"m not even quite sure what I"ll be fishing for. I"ll probably stupidly go for the mackerel when there"s a pond full of healthy salmon and trout.
As I said above i"ve only played a small number of times at Omaha but have to say that one particular experience caused my head to hurt (even more than usual) when a guy took down a rather tasty pot with a nut flush.....only for half the table to start giving the dealer abuse on passing the chips to the "winner" who made up the particular hand with only one diamond in his hole cards :D
Glad we have a computer to figure it out for us tonight 8)

So game 2 of the PLO is now over (for me at least :D ) and another good fun game was had, despite my lasck of PLO experience. Started quite well getting up to 6k+ after busting Derek when our AA v AA clashed pre flop and my 8/9 hit a straight. Stupidly then donked most of it chasing an open end straight draw with top pair, ran into 2 pairs and got no further help other than assistance for my opponent to get his boat ::)
At about 2.5k then had my AAJ5 hand busted by a house of 4"s & 6"s by an even shorter stack. Next hand shoved my last 650ish in with 2356 and prayed for a micro flop. Had an open ender but lost out to Ian "Pables" Thompson and finished 41st. Crazy game PLO but good fun all the same, bring on tomorrow nights re-buy.
