Keeping Warm in Winter
AAroddersAA:
Winter is most certainly coming, the heating has not gone on yet but might well be time to think about it in a few weeks.
So APAT Ireland will include such great APATers as Glenn Laming and JP Round. These two gentlemen are my tips for final table and medal glory. Before people accuse me of just picking my friends as predictions I have recently been fortunate to discuss some hands with these gents (ask me and Glenn to tell you about the AK discussion at some time). Anyway both of these guys have games which is much better than their results suggest (unless you count side events *lol*).
Here are some poker hands:-

I do like this hand. preflop is pretty standard so no need to talk about that.
Then the flop is quite good for me lot"s of hands can hit the queen and flush draws are going to continue. The only hand that should be drawing at a straight is 67. Seems like a very simple bet on the flop. I can bet quite big here compared to the size of the pot as most queens will call and I need to charge the draws. The turn really changes nothing, the pot is still 3 way so I am guessing Queen, Draw or some kind of set/monster. I think only a monster will raise on the turn usually here so my bet gives me both value and as a bonus, info. When I get the call I am pretty sure it is either a draw or a queen and more likely a draw. The river misses most drawing hands so I check intending to call and hope AQ type hands decide to bet when checked too. He shoves and I snap as was my plan, I think I play this hand quite well, he should probably raise the flop and try and snap it off when I shove. I don"t have to have a massive hand there and he might get some weaker hands QJ, TT type hands to incorrectly fold. He never really gives me the chance to make a mistake.

Hello worlds greatest people did you know it is only one month until Fireworks Night. YAY
So at the start of October Swansea is still quite warm and it"s all good. I have come up with some ways of keeping warm when the winter hit"s though:-
1) Put the heating on (boring)
2) Run around a lot (wtf)
3) Go to the desert (interesting)
4) Light a fire (bit dangerous)
I will work out what to do I am sure. I am good at that sort of thing.
So all three Welsh Clubs have sacked their managers in the last week. Bit surprised about Swansea who have had a very tough start. Cardiff needed to make a change but have to admit to being very concerned about Newport County. Work commitments mean I have only seen them twice this season and the team looks just not good enough. We need to get a manager in asap and come up with a plan. The best plan might be to plan for life in the Conference and how the club will survive in that spot. The pitch is not helping and having had two matched called off already due to this is not acceptable. Hopefully Wales can make it a bit brighter this week although Ramsey is a big loss.
I also played a bit of poker and found some interestings hands:-

This is a hand I am not sure how I played. Preflop my 3-bet is standard after UTG raises with one caller. Problem is he then bounces back with a 4-bet. So he can probably have AA, QQ or AK, I block AK so that hand is a bit less likely. QQ often just calls my 3-bet as well. I still think a call is good as if I shove I let QQ and AK have the chance to get away and AA just snaps me off. I decide calling the 4-bet is best but honestly not entirely sure.
The flop is good for me and he checks to me. I can bet here and get paid by QQ and lose to AA. I think it is AA more than QQ though so check intending to call a standard turn bet and assess on the river. The turn is an ace which is the worst card for me. It goes check/check and his river bet just feels like a value bet and I don"t really beat anything now so make a simple enough fold. Not sure about this one :-)

Very standard BvB hand here. Maybe 3-betting pre is better as I don"t fold much to a 3x BB Vs SB. I see this as a straight forward call down no sense in raising and against these bet sizings folding is probably pretty bad.
I am break even over the last couple of days but had one hand where I lost a stack with KK Vs AA in a spot that was OK to do so.
Not done any bets over the last few days as focusing on the poker a bit more. Will be some coming up soon though.
