Another Norfolk poker player

Walsall will be great -- good people and of course there will be some bad beat stories but the game will be awesome.. at 8:55 tonight JFDI.......

[antthecat]

i was throwing all my toys out of the pram last night, i have slept on my decision(barely) and ill be hopefully buying in for walsall. cant wait till the clickfest(the tension is killing me) so im passing my time rambling about a suzuki grand vitara rear brakes and how much of a pain in the bum to do........nah, i wont bore u to death with that story but i will say a brake shoe flew across the workshop quickly followed by a lot of swearing by me and lighting up of a marlboro(im trying to quit and will call the nhs stop smoking helpline).

ill post if im lucky enough to get a seat.

[antthecat]

ive got my seat, i know its not guaranteed but payment was processed by 9.02pm so i think im in.

now off for a bath and celebrate. cant wait till the 7th and 8th.
sorry 9.03pm ive just modified it

[antthecat]

just read transaction number and it does not look promising, i cant believe my luck this week, first doing mot test nearly all day, every day its mundane. then last night not cashing and tonight the possibility of not having a seat. i was really up for walsall but ill survive. i fancied my chances. now off to my friends to kill time till 11 and see the bad news or good news.

[antthecat]

if you look at the list then youll see my name Anthony Pickering(it was Anthony Pickerting by my spelling mistake was in panic but now been edited) on the list, i think it is a omen as i thought i missed the cut. i have booked the travelodge at walsall and i would recommend booking now as i think the clickfest for that will be as such of a pain as getting a seat at walsall. i have just read rubertoe has started a blog, keep up the good work even on your online play(personally i dont play online often as im useless at it which is why im thankful i didnt have to win a seat online as some people who did not get a seat suggested to do, i can understand but there was satellights running werent there???)

now off to my girlfriend and tell her the good news (even though she wont care or listen)

[antthecat]

my confidence has been knocked again, i was playing pub poker/bingo and was struggling, i was picking up lots of little pots but when i had a big hand i kept getting outdrawn but i perserveered and made the final table, a few hands in and found king queen suited and shoved(had 6bb so automatic) and got called by 9-7 suited and a 7 on the flop saw me shouting king or a queen but nope and out in 8th place, it seems i am ahead preflop but keep getting outdrawn. im still second in the league but its getting tight for me, the national league starts soon so cant wait to practise my online skills in that. i was so up for walsall but at the moment im not too confident. i need some sleep.

ill speak when im more alert.

[antthecat]

i am in a prediciment its that i want to play online tonight but all my sites have the value of £0.01 and my bank account is looking similar. i think ill play a bit on bluesq and play the giveaway sng"s and freeroll to a fortune. cant wait for walsall, the online league and payday.

[antthecat]

i went on bluesq and found a few dollars on my account(i forgot i had $7 on there) so i had to play a bit. as i was short for time i could not play any tourneys in case the girlfriend came early. i thought my 7 card game needs a little practise(i rarely play it as there is never a live game unless im teaching my friends how to play, they dont like any other variant cos holdem is easy to play) so i went on the 10/20 limit table. i was the first player on and put $5 in play(it was money i did not know i have so it was not too high for my bankroll) and waited for the fist to try a bit of stud. lots of people came on the table with $1 and i was crippling them. within half hour(the girlfriend showed up) i was up $3.24. as i have a rule in a cash game if that a player is up more than his/her buyin then its time to leave. i am proud as its possibly the only time ive made profit and left, usually i play until i lose it all(i dont listen to my own rules). will try again tomorrow.

[antthecat]

im now on my own at the moment as the girlfriend has left and sitting on bluesq waiting for my opponents to turn up, im giving stud another go. we will see how i get on.

[antthecat]

i got chopped up by two others, it appeared that the two were working with each other but thats doubtful, i was telling myself what they had and still called them down with the worst hand. i stopped when i lost $3 so im down a few cents tonight. bugger.

[monkeyman]

I seriously doubt that anyone would even consider manipulating a table at the level you"re playing at.
 If you want to play small stakes cash stud, Partypoker is the place to be. The competition is poor and the antes are smaller than at the equivalent level on Ipoker.

[antthecat]

i know there was nothing in it, i was making bad decisions and just bled my money away. i wont be playing tired again. was tempted this evening but feeling a bit drained so probably wait till tomorrow

[antthecat]

i thought ill play a bit on bluesq stud so i did and after over an hour i made $1.23, thats about 80p, not the best hourly rate but its a start. thats the poker and for a funny event that happend to me this evening, i got home from work and decided to get on with a car that needed work, as i started a van slowed up, had a butchers and pulled up at the end of the road, he was there for a couple of minutes and then drove off, i was lying in mud under a 306 connecting the downpipe to the manifold(its a bitch of a job as the joint is spring loaded and you need six hands to do it) and a police car pulled up, the police are on to me at the moment it seems, he got out and come over, i got out from under the car and said hello, he asked the usual is this your car and i explained its not, he looked bemused and said to me that there was a call in that someone was nicking a car and i laughed when i said"do you think that im tunneling in then" to which he replied "guess not" and left me to it. at least the village has neighbourhood watch and its good in my village and a good laugh this evening, the car is done and £150 in my pocket tomorrow. it cant be bad at the moment, just a astra to mot and my beloved bandit 600 to get back on the road(i fell off it on the ice in feb 2008 and just lost my bottle with bikes but rode one for work and enjoyed it so much it has spurred me on. also forgot a 125 that ive been meaning to sell for 3 years but never got round to it and now it needs a clean(the pigeons perch on the handlebars and crap all over it, it looks nasty, i will have to sweettalk my mum to clean it for me lol)

[antthecat]

i am ready to take down the event happening at norwich tonight. the only problem is that ive had a lot of late nights and early mornings and i think tiredness will set in i reckon in 2 hours. i have been on relentless all day and now my hands are slightly shaking and i feel a bit light headed, i have eaten and had a cuppa so hope its a ten minute feeling. will let you know how i get on if i dont drop off lol
