Ok everybody... Brace yourself!!! I"m actually going to comment about:
Poker
Last Tuesday was the first time i played poker of any kind (on-line/off-line) for about 3 weeks and had decided to invest my bankroll :o in the Tuesday £5 Re-Buy Donk-fest game @ Holt! :P
2500 chips for £5, 15 minute blinds: 25/50, 50/100, 75/150, 100/200 (+3 hands), [end of re-buys], 150/300, 200/400 etc etc...
After playing the first hand of AK quite strongly, re-raising a raiser (3 of us going to the flop) betting out on the 9 high flop, and eventually losing to the river"d Q against AQ I decided to play quite loose...... :P
A little later I had pocket 10"s, raised to 400 (blinds 50/100) and got called by a chap who didn"t seem too confident with his game. The flop came J 3 4, I decided to shove my remaining 1900 chips with the reasoning that if he has hit the Jack I can always have yet another Re-Buy! Anyway he calls, I say so you have a Jack, he says nothing and turns A 4, the A on the turn and blank on the river sealed the deal and sent me on another walk of shame to the Re-Buy table! I did get a little lucky after spending a total of £30 and finished up at the end of the Re-Buy period with about 8000 chips!
With the Re-Buys over I decided to play a little tighter but did lose some chips when I got caught "at it" trying to steal against pocket A"s ::)
I eventually went out with the blind"s at 200/400 and only holding 3900 chips, first to act I looked at pocket 8"s and shoved, got one caller..... And a Re-Raiser!! Which was also called. I laid down my 8"s, the caller laid down her A"s, and the Re-raiser laid down his J"s and was very happy when he river"d what was aparently the only remaining Jack in the pack :o
Fortunately, the early exits do tend to start up a "Dealers Choice" cash table which I invested £10 into and eventually finished the night cashing in £53. That"s a £13 profit on the night!! 8)

It"s the day after another Tuesday £5 Re-Buy Donk-fest game @ Holt! :P
2500 chips for £5, 15 minute blinds: 25/50, 50/100, 75/150, 100/200 (+3 hands), [end of re-buys], 150/300, 200/400 etc etc...
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!
Here"s a few hands that occurred:
The Good - It was still in the re-buy period and I had a stack of around 5000 with the blinds at 100/200. Whilst in the SB I have :as: ks and am considering a raise, UTG+1 flat calls, the cutt-off makes a raise to 600 (this player has been making regular pre-flop raises followed by checking to the river before betting out again so I am considering being able to either out-play him or see the whole board without too much more expense if I miss, depending on how I feel after the flop), I call, UTG+1 re-raises another 2000, cut-off calls, I see pot value :P so call too.......
Flop js 9s :3s:
First to act I shove (putting the others all-in), instant call from UTG+1, call from the cut-off!!
I show my AK flush
UTG+1 shows top set (3 jacks)
The very strange cut-off player shows Q6 off-suit (no spade)!!!!
Nice big pot in excess of 13000 ;D
The Bad - Involving the same three players blinds at 150/300 (buy-in period is over)!! This time I"m UTG+1 with qh :3c: and call (still with around 13000 chips), call from the player who previously had the trip jacks UTG+3 (about 9000 chips), the usual pre-flop raise (min raise) from the "strange" player who is SB (about 4000 chips) , we both call.
Flop jd ts 6d
As expected SB checks, I check, UTG+3 checks
Turn qc
SB checks, I check, UTG+3 checks
River :3h:
SB makes his usual river bet (500), I re-raise to 2000, UTG+3 re-raises all in, SB folds, I fold!!
The hands were declared afterwards out of interest:
SB only had a pocket pair of 7"s
I had 2 pair
UTG+3 had K9 for the straight!!
The Ugly - Blinds are 300/600. I"m on the final table in the BB (about 11000 chips) with a min raise UTG (20000 chips), and a call UTG+1 (20000 chips) and a call UTG+2 (5500 chips), I call with ks jc
Flop 8s 9c ts
I check, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 goes All-in for 4300, I call, UTG says "well if your calling, I"m calling!", UTG+1 says "So will I then!"
Turn qh
I push my last 5500 hoping for more action and do from UTG, UTG+1 folds!
UTG+2 shows 2 pair Q 10 (for a side pot)
I show my straight to the King
UTG reveals AJ saying "I only need to hit a King"
And guess what the King came to give him the straight to the Ace and sent me out as bubble boy!! :"(
Anyway, just as last week I entered the cash game and managed to clear another huge £12.50 profit for the night! ;D

At long last I have internet at home again! Decided to break myself in gently with a few sit & go"s. Can"t say it went too well. First game I think I was a little too eager (played too many hands)!! Then, I started to play better but managed to consistently get beat when all-in with the best of it.
I had pocket A"s up against 5 7 on a J 3 7 flop..... River"d 7
I had pocket Q"s up against pocket 8"s, flop comes 5 6 7.... turn 4
I had AK against AJ, all-in on a AKJ flop..... River"d J
Also lost a few 60-40 splits!
A couple of times I did get it in behind too, but I didn"t get any help!!
Overall finished about -$17 so isn"t too hurtful.
