Poker
Played online last night in a $5 Re-buy/Add-on tournie last night and didn"t realise how eager people are to give away their dollar!!!
3rd hand in I"ve got pocket 8"s, some one has raised the big blind of 20 to 100 and had 4 callers. Not wanting to buy in too early I thought I"d see how my luck was running and called... I"m running ok! I hit trips on a J 8 5 flop. first to act shoves followed by call, fold, call, and of course a call from me too! All cards shown, I"m ahead, the next best hand was AK! Turn: another 8 for QUADS! I"ve quadrupled up!!
10 minutes later I"ve flopped the nut flush with people shoving before me... Happy days!
It took me about 20 minutes to amass a total of 20,000 chips which I hovered around until the rebuy period was over.
I had the 2,000 chip add-on and started after the break in 3rd place.
Unfortunately, I spent the next 3 hours either card dead or making plays at the wrong times and peaked at only 27,000 chips. Eventually losing out to the chip leader at the time with A8 v AK
Finished 130ish/750+

Online Poker with 888
So, whilst checking my phone yesterday afternoon I noticed Leigh's tweet highlighting the great chance that 888 Poker had supplied exclusively to APAT members....
The "freeroll" (almost)!!
Ok, we would end up having Buy-ins and Add-ons but I think with my quick calculations at the end of the Add-on period they were still providing around $150/$200 of Extra Value!!
The bonus for me was the extra $10 first time deposit I recieved (and duely spent in this tournament)
I ended up finishing 17th despite my router shutting down when I was short stacked.
I did end up winning my "free" $10 back with another $15 or so on top due to taking down three 2nd places in a row, whilst playing their $2.90 entry, 4 handed 20 seater things!!
Thankyou 888

Poker in August
Having won my seat into the Goliath at Coventry, I will be playing in that on Friday 26th August but, in the unlikely event of me not cashing once out of that I am hoping to make it to Nottingham for the main event on either Saturday or Sunday. I may well try to satellite my way in, if not I will probably take the chance on an alternates seat!
All I have to do now is tell the missus I"m staying away all of the Bank Holiday Weekend!! ::)

Permission granted for APAT Worlds Main Event :)
So all I have to do now is Satellite my way in tonight!! I have to win tonight because I"ve promised that I won"t play online for the rest of the week!! A small sacrifice to pay given I"ve secured my Coventry/Nottingham long weekend in August.
The way my game is running at the moment I should be "bubbleboy" tonight!
I"m not playing badly, getting paid big when I have the best then losing a little here and there with "beats". But I seem to be constantly finishing short of the money! It gets a bit frustrating constantly playing for 3-4 hours and falling 10 places or so from the money. I"m usually around the average chip stack (maybe playing too tight to get lucky). Over the last week or so I"ve had KK run into AA, AJ shove called by AQ!
Any tips from anyone would be appreciated ;)
