We"re on the 9:30am from Kings X, getting in to go and play the pre-football session.
Could be a big mistake. ;D

Do I hate Orange
Not been playing much poker lately, other than my amazing performances in a couple of Sit "n" Go"s up in Newcastle. ;D
I have however, kept up my Orange Belt status on Karate Kick Poker, which gave me access to a couple of nice freerolls tonight.
8pm - Merchandise Freeroll, 53 runners, top 6 get chipsets, or hoodies or other stuff.
I managed to run my top pair into pocket aces first hand. GG me.
Not a problem though, as my main focus was on the 9pm London Live Vegas Freeroll. This was a winner takes all, Vegas package, and open to any Orange Belts and above that played the recent London Live event. Technically, I only qualify on one of those criteria, as although I have an Orange belt, and entered the London Live event, I certainly wouldn"t claim to have played any poker that day. But, hey ho, here I am, with 56 other runners, looking to grab a Vegas trip and Main Event Buy In, courtesy of Mr Channing.
All goes well for the first hour, no major hands, and I"m up and down a bit, but make the first break 6th of 41, on just over 4k from a 1.5k starting stack.
First level after the break, blinds are 40/80 and I"m involved in this hand.
UTG+1 raises to 160
Button calls
SB calls
I call from BB holding js 8d
Flop is 8h jh qh
I check
UTG+1 bets 480
Button folds
SB folds
I raise to 1080
UTG+1 allin for 3700 total
I call with 500 back
UTG+1 kh kc
Turn 4s
River th
I"m down to 500, and it all goes in td 7d v ah 6c
Seven on the flop, A6 rivers a straight
I"m not sure if either of us did anything wrong with the J8 v KK hand, I just don"t run as good as the Irish luckbox, Gareth Cash ;D
Hopefully he"ll go on and win it.
It does sum up my poker at the moment. I"m having one of those times, when it really doesn"t matter what I do, if I get it in good, I get unlucky, if I get it in bad, I get no luck. Bit of a lose lose situation.
Oh to be able to run good in a tournament that matters.
Chipaccrual:
I may have got that completely wrong, as I"ve just run it through a calculator post flop, and the pocket kings are ahead 52.73% / 47.27%
That surprises me a bit, I thought I would have been slight favourite, but I guess there are plenty of runner, runner straight options aswell.
The turn card makes it 64%/36% in my favour.
Chipaccrual:
This has got me thinking. How much of a dog can you be allin on the flop whilst being ahead on the flop ?
:2d: 7s v jc qc
on a :2h: 9c tc flop is 69.90% / 30.10% in favour of the jc qc
Anyone beat that ?
PantsMan:
Damn you Leigh!
Got my maths brain going a bit mental now!
There must be worse, there MUST be!
