thanks for that, what is the prize lol, tiredness really set in and i was awful, i was short stacked with 72 off and pushed and lost, oh well, i didnt feel its not my night. next game is on saturday at the geldeston poker club to play proper poker(every hand that your dealt is worth raising).

by the way, when i was working on the 306 i was following all the health and safety procedure by supporting the car on axle stands so dont worry, i hopefully wont have a accident before walsall.

on a serious note, what is it with super index cards and me as i hate them, the pips are way too large and you have to really cover your hand to look at them, also you just cant peel the corner up to see your cards, i think they should be banned(unless i forgot my glasses then they are brilliant but as i wear my glasses all the time then thats unlikely but a note worth raising) so please post your opinion, regular index or super index, you decide!!!!

i went to the palace casino and did well, 14 runners and i came 4th and cashed about £40 so it is a confidence boost. im watching the recording of this weeks premier league poker and it looks great, will keep watching. dont ask me why but i would like to meet annette obrestad as i think that she is attractive and the poker tuition would be great also. no poker tomorrow but hopefully saturday will have a game so will post then.

maybe no tuition but ill still ask her for a drink if i do meet her(dont tell the girlfriend this as she will be at walsall). i am p****d off with my friends as they all want to play tonight but i did promise the girlfriend that i iwll see her so no easy money for the weekend lol.

i was asked yesterday when did i start playing poker and i thought that ill blog how i did start playing the beautiful game. when i was 13 back in 1999 i was up late watching channel 4 and this program which there was people sitting round a table laughing and joking, smoking and playing cards. i was hooked, i watched every time it was on and learnt the basics. i went to school and read the rules on the internet and wanted to play there and then. i tried to get a game at school but no one wanted to play this but brag was popular so i played that against people who were not people who i used to hang around with(these were the popular boys who were best in class where i used to get into trouble all the time as the teachers were not teaching me quick enough so i was bored and just wanted something to do) and the competition was soft, they were waiting for big cards where i was bluffing all the time and i was winning a lot of lunch money. one hand though was a bit of a shock, i had  7s 4s 5s so had a flush(by the way a flush can be beaten by a straight and the best hand is prial of 3s) and i was raising but this one player kept raising me, i thought he was thinking i was on one and bluffing(its been a few games in) but i thought i was winning, all the change i had went in the middle and his also and i showed my flush but the bugger just had me pipped with  7h 6h :3h:, i was annoyed and my temper was high and i went for him(this was not a good idea but i could get all the toffs done for gambling at school if we got caught fighting), i didnt think he was strong bit boy did he hit me on the chin, a teacher saw me hold my chin, asked what is going on and the toffs said i was trying to steal there lunch money and was about to hit them so they hit me in self defence, i was in solitary confidement(a room on my own doing my school work) for a couple of weeks. in that time i thought that cards were not worth it(i was grounded at home aswell).
a few years later when i was 18 i saw three people at the local cue club playing holdem, i did remember the rules and asked if i could play, they aggreed and i sat down with £5 worth of 20p"s and the cards were in the air, i cleaned them out with cards and bluffs and proud with what i have done. that was it until i was 20 and me and a few friends were playing "****head", its a get rid of your cards type of game and we were bored, i showed them holdem and they all enjoyed it, at this time i was watching it on tv and they all wanted a proper freezeout game, stake aggreed and chips bought and we were off, since that game i havent stopped learning and playing and addicted(its also where i got addicted to smoking aswell). so that is how i got into poker.

cant wait till the 1st feb and the 7th feb.

i should have listened to the man upsairs last night when on my way to the pub my car broke down, i got the car running again for 10 seconds then it died again, i thought it was a omen but i was not listening and got the car started again and drove furiously to the boozer, got there with a minute to spare, looking at the league at that moment i could not make the final table and stay second in the league but i wanted a high finish so next week i could concentrate on the online league on the 1st. a few hands in and donking off a few chips with 53 suited on the draw but missed there was a juicy pot with a lot of limpers, i decided a bit of one card holdem was worth a go, saw a  ah and pushed everyone folded and he had  td tc, on there backs i was in terrible shape, the kicker was a  :3s:, i missed a ace and out until the break.

after the break something happened and i want everyone"s opinion on this as i was disgusted that he won the hand, i had  6h 5h and limped on the small blind, big checked, the flop  6s 8d qd, i fire a half pot bet and got called, the turn was  kc, i check and he does, the river was the  ts, i check and he bets, i call and he shows only the   ad, i show my hand and start to rake the pot when he goes "hold on ive got a ten", moves the ace and reveals the  td, i called for a ruling but everyone at the table said carry on, should i have won that hand or was i wrong, please let me know your opinion or does anyone knows the exact ruling?

after that i donked off all my chips with a king high cos i was so annoyed that i called a ruling and everyone else carried on but there we go,  still second but getting close

I,m no expert on the rules, but I would have thought if he turned both his cards over, even thought the ten was obscured then he wins. He deserves a punch but he wins :-\

if anyone plays in my home games the slow roll is punishable lol i was annoyed with what he done but had a chat with him and he thought he showed the 10 first, he still should show both cards at the same time but there we go, onwards and downwards(whoops a negative, i meant upwards) and the big league on the 1st, ive got permission to play the pub league also on the 1st so a bit of multitabling in a different way(may also play holdem on wpt mobile for a bit of cash).

i made a coc* up a minute ago, was cleaning my copag cards and found a crease in one so i thought ill iron it out, i put the iron on low and put a rag over the card but thermoplastic card shrunk and shrivelled so a new deck is on order. whoops, a silly mistake.

as i did put a topic in general discussion about said playing card incident ive decided in the name of science to see how much abuse these cards will take, one is going in the washing machine today and tonight ill be testing a card to see how a cigarette can cause damage. if anyone wants to see any method of cleaning to save time tested then please let me know.
