4.5k GTD WIN

I just won the 4.5k gtd small multi on betfair for 2000$. Was short around bubble time but picked up 1010 that held up v lower pair and then played pretty good till heads up.

At start of heads up I was a big dog I think he had 2.5 - 1 chip lead however I won every single hand heads up - I think a total of 8. To be honest I either had good preflop hand or got some of the flop each time so pretty much played itself.

However I made a good read on final hand where I had top pair with a mid kicker ( also giving me straight draw) - I just thought he was frustrated and that he would re raise if hit anything. In the end I decided my jack top pair was good with insurance of straight draw and possible two pair and trips if not.

Hes how the hand played out - for 1 sec i was cursing the 2 pair until i realised the chips were coming my way !!!

Also backed Joe Cole 1st goal tonight at 14s and my nap won on the gee gee's at 15.5 so a very very good day.

Just clouded by me going out 1st hand in the 5k chasing a miracle straight !!!

FINAL TABLE 16k GTD

Made final table for all of 5 seconds - yet another final table in 16k yet another shite 6th to 9th.

10 left and was dealt JJ in BB when 6th overall. A pretty loose player raised early and i decided i was reraising his 4k to 12k all in which meant he could put his hand down or i hoped would be racing. However I went out and it went to final table just before I reraised and ran my jacks into queeens which filled up for a full house.

I think thats 6 final tables in 16k this month but 5 finished 5th to 9th so missing the big cash.

What i learned during the game tonight :-

1) Rooney is mint !!!
2) Artic Monkeys 2nd album not as good as 1st at 1st listen.
3) That Grazza's run it twice program works on betfair.

This is a great tool for analysing your play I have heard but haven't used it yet. IT basically uses hand historys to reshow you hands etc.

6k gtd and 4.5k gtd places

Came 2nd and 3rs in these today but mega disappointed in 6k as was 1st with 3 left and finished 3rd including a poor push under pair v over pair to go out. ( 700 total profit from the above 2 games but 6k gtd has 1600 for winner )

Also came 8th in the 16k last night again exit hand under v over pair where i hit trips on river but it gave him a flush and I was out/ played 2 other multis where i came nowhere.

In the top 10 n both the high and medium stakes leader boards on betfair but not in the money on any of them so would love a good run on stt's this week.

Still great month overall.

Looks like title race is wide open again and off to see if the Geordies can influence it tomorrow ) HA HA ) - I'm on Drogba 5-1 1st notch and a 25-1 scorecast with 2 nil v our rubbish. Hopefully will be a bit of atmosphere at the match lets see how long that lasts.

QUICK UPDATE

Sorry have been mega busy hence lack of updates.

Poker wise till a week ago I was on one of my best months ever but dropped 1.5k from the month high since then. I am currently 5th on high stakes leader board on betfair and my aim for month is to get top 3 to qualify for the 30 player 6k free roll - however this will be difficult.

Sports wise had a great result when I bought Essien goal minutes before he notched in the last minute but I have donked that away since with some daft spread bets.

I have been trying to spend the 3k passport stamp but you will not believe how bad the betfair customer service has been - I'm on about my 5th mail and call and today I got the stupidest mail ever from them. I asked for cash instead but they turned this down yet they cant organise anything. This is disappointing as I think betfair poker has the best set up for mtt and stt on the net and they let themsleves down time after time on customer service. I think they are only interested in the VIP guys to be honest.

Janes Delight was entered at Thirsk on Saturday but i don't think she will run which is a shame as Thirsk ain't too far so would have been decent day out. Looks like garden needs doing instead :( Then have to go and watch Newcastle on Sunday v Chelsea so hope they pull fingers out as have been shite to watch of late.

GL at tables boys and girls

ANOTHER SMALL NON GLAMOROUS MULTI IN THE BAG

Decided that I was too tired tonight and would not play in the 16k.

Hence entered a small runner turbo multi instead. The structure of these are that they only run for an hour or so luck is a big factor. However I really like them as they are 6 pak and I always feel 6 paks suit my game better and I have played hundreds of thousands of fixed limit hands at 6 pak.

Anyway I have just won this 3k gtd event and took down the 1650$ prize. Basically I got chips in some great dominating positions that held up and was chip leader with 5 left. I then got lucky when my Q 7 beat the short stacks AK. Another played eliminated shortly after giving me the chip lead but then I lost a race and went back to 3rd. However, I rerasied a raiser all in with 88 which hit 8 on flop v Ace Jack. I got lucky one hand heads up when my all in with Ace 4 was called by Ace Jack but this was a split pot. Then I got 1010 and was reraised all in and this held up v K9.

Nice result :)
