MAY POKER PROFIT AND LOSS

Cannot be assed complaining any more apart from Annette knocked me out near cash in 16k when she pushed all in with jack 8 off for me to call with KK on bib blind for 10k pot and she flops 88x. Multis have been like that all month but have to take the rough with the smooth. I have run so bad pretty proud to not lose on poker in the month but delighted May behind me now. Adding sports and poker together this month means I basically did my mega stressful job at moment all month for nothing - not good :(

POSITIVES

None

NEGATIVES

Many

1) Betting far too big - action restrict number of bets in June especially on Horses to Sat only and Royal Ascot - no online casino also when tilting.

2) Luck is awful also - If I backed Kelly Brook in a matchbet at the moment to win th emost beautiful versus Claire Balding I would still lose.

3) Cant remembr a decent horse bet since Cheltneham !!!

Over and out

DONKED AGAIN

FFS when am i going to get a break.

Was playing biggest tourny for yonks tonight - 300K gtd 750$ ECOOP i had qualified for.

Spend all 1st level setting a mega agressive image and then tighten up.

Basically I fold JJ to tow all ins on 782 board v flush draw and 78 but river 2 and i would have trebled up if went for it.

Then I raise big in early position with JJ - table fool comes over the top all in - I am certain he has little as shite and over bet so call he has ace ten and hits ace and ten.

Good game good night good riddance -

Caribbean Poker Classic 2008

OK - need to get myself out my current rut so just done something to cheer me up a bit.

I have a 10K Euro Package to use on Littlewoods and have been debating for a while what to use it on. I was watching a program on sky about Caribbean cruises and this made my mind up for me so I have asked to use my package for the CPC this year which is a one week cruise in November from Miami around the Caribbean. This was my favourite ever poker event last year and met some great people who have blogs like Azi / Animal / Dests / TeamDobbs etc last year (all linked). Hopefully Ben and Brennan can qualify again this year - or maybe someone with a girlfriend who can accompany the wife :)

Few more details (I am thinking I should get about 4k$ cash also as package includes 2k$ plus I am due the difference between 10K EUR and 10k$.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN LOADS TONIGHT

Played 5$ 10$ NL for 3 hours - must have had AA or KK about 7 or 8 times but never got into big pots with it - won only a few hundred quid which is disappointing given the starting hands I had.

Similar story in the satellite for one of the European Championship of online poker (BS VC etc) - i played 80$ sat into 800$ event and won it by a mile with monster after monster - that gets me in the 300k event next week.

The ECOOP starts this Friday with a 200$ NLHE event and I think I will play a few NL events especially the 6 pak ones. Anyone decent who qualifies or enters the 750+50 event and wants to swap a % then let me know.

Other game I was meant to play tonight was a 100 runner WSOP qualifier for a mate. I logged in waiting for table to pop up and it never did - I had assumed he had already registered but he hadn't so missed it - Doh :( - sorry

ONE OF THE WORST THINGS I SEE NIN POKER

Played the 125K Gtd on Betfair never got going went out about 70th 27 paid.

Then I seen Nibbles from betafir forum was in last 3 for a WSOP seat (1st 2 get seats) so went and watch that game.

The last hand and actions are below.

Someone raises preflop Nibbles folds and a flat call.

The guy moves all in on an all spade flop - the other player who has him covered runs the clock all the way down and types TY before calling with the nut flush.

Will be interesting to see the reception this guy gets from the other BFair players in Vegas ......

GUKPT Exit

Just seen the tower got it on CCTV ( I am the miserable ******* !! ) about 1 min and half in

I run good - not

Tonights exit is my possy 1 limp rejam all in with kk not good enough to beat ak

Then some1 pushes i push with QQ someone calls behind 99 !!! and hits - I run too good

log off goodnight

Another version of below

We lose Mark Sudes as the Bedtime Bubble. He raises to 2400 and Pete Linton calls on the bb. Flop comes J-10-8. Mark bets and Pete raises as Mark moves all in and gets a snap-call from Pete as he flops the nuts with Q-9. And Mark shows KINGS. No runner runner for Mark and he is out. 20 left for today as we stop play and are back tomorrow for a 2pm start.

from aworldofpoker - prefer this version !!! (but not true)

To be faor Tower cannot move as tables rammed in as usual at Newcastle

OUT TOON GUKPT

2 key hands all day - the only times i got AA and KK and I lost pots totalling 50k (10k starting stacks).


1st hand (which I feel i played wrong on every street) - I pick up AA at 25 50 blinds and there is a raise to 200 and a reraise to 1k ahead of me. The table has 3 pro's and folds of QQ and KK have been shown preflop (both times v AA). I call from SB to try and disguise hand and a nice flop of 632 all spades ( I have ace spades) - I check he bets 1.5K i call. Turn comes 6 diamonds - he checks out of turn and i then choose to check (in effect behind) hoping he hits flush on river. Rover brings a queen non spade I bet 2.5K he min raises to 5K - I make what I consider a terrible call and he shows QQ.

2nd hand - 21 people left average 25K I have 19k - play breaks for day and folded to me on SB and I have KK - BB is new to table and chip leader and has raised 1st 2 hands at the table. I limp from SB and he checks. Flop JT8 which is a bit scary - I bet 2K he calls. Turn an 8 which I quite like - I bet 4k he raises to 9k and I have 12k behind. After a bit of thought i jam he calls and shows q 9 and i miss my two outs and gone.

I did play some decent poker but above 2 hands will live with me for a while :(

6 SHOOTER BUBBLE BOY

biggest field i seen for ages with 20 odd runners in 500$ 6 shooter.

I am sitting 2nd of 5 left then get stuck with an awful call. possy 1 limper that for some reason I think has AA or KK I have Ace ten sooted possy 2 and call - flop 10 high possy 1 bets i raise he reraises and for some reason i change my mind and call - he shows AA. Mad with myself as cash tonight is

1st 5500$
2nd 3300$
3rd 2200$
4th me (-500$)

It all boils down to another bad day :(

GONE FROM WSOP / WSOPE

Was doing cack anyway but my QQ lost to ace ten.

Does not sound bad till you see hand.

possy 1 raised to 1100 one caller I push for 4K and someone in last position jams 30k all in.

I think I am beat or raising AK at best - initial raiser and caller fold and its ace ten v QQ.

He has spades and flop 3 spades - great play - well done ....

Nothing to report

Seen a few comments about May I have hardly played - what an absolute shit month this far though.

Work / Project going terrible - massive hrs little reward.
PC is bust hence little poker - had to send it off to get fixed
Mortgage ran out new rates a joke !!
Lawnmower just blew up today and set on fire hence garden complete mess as not touched this year.

Just blew a but in at NL also - apart from that everything great LOL

Newcastle GUKPT and York races were planned this week but have to cancal holidays - hopefully i can still get Thur avro off else thats 1k down pan as won package.

Laters - hopefully a less depressing post next time
