Tales of the Honeybadger

[Honeybadg]

Watching the boxing ... the most absurd first four rounds ... I have bet on "Goliath" ... pretty level betting ... is Haye going to get tired!?

Could be the least punches thrown ever!

Not quite Tyson vs Bruno.

Haye wins ... amazing live betting ... going into last round Valuev 1.31 ... and Haye wins 116-112 116-112 114-114

Overall he deserved the win - Valuev did nothing.

Fired up the Betfair Eyes Wide Shut ...

Jammed JJ into 99 and KK and and ace rag ... the won ...

Played some weird and wonderful cash ... far to loose at the start ... but it got me paid on everything I did thereafter!

Wings clipped when I flopped top pair vs fish ... I gave him the flush draw ... but got smashed by the backdoor straight with him holding J5 suited ... with which he raised pre flop ... mmm.

Nice to have a poker weekend ... getting tempted by the Betfair sat" to their $1000 buy in this afternoon ... or is Sunday Warm Up time!?!

Cannot believe Cada"s run in the world series ... bluffs himself down to nothing and then spikes everything ... final table 22 vs QQ and 33 vs JJ ... that is pretty sick ... then K on the river AK vs 88 ... SICK!

Failed in my quest for the Betfair $100k g"tee ...

37 runners for 3.7 seats.

I am playing loose at the start ... AQ flat call looks great into QQx - two spades ... but I get greedy to build a stack and give the flush on the turn ... I checked third to act of 4 ... looking for the steal for me to flat call/push.

Enough ... computer off ... it would appear my internal dialogue today is to play super tricky trappy nobby poker ...

Good luck to the those playing.

Chelsea saved me a little!

... managed to sleep walk $11 profit playing cash last night ... 17 hours at desk had left me weak ... but great to escape with no absurd play and consequent losses ...

Looking for to Sunday night ... and the APAT extraveganza ...

APAT National Final : Disaster ....

10,000 chips ... 10/20 raised to 60 ... raised to 155 by Calculator86 ... I re-raise to 440 ... with AA ... called by Calculator ... flop J63 ... my pot bet is called ... turn is a blank ... I bet the pot ... Calculator all in ... mmm

... I hate it but call ... his hand 63 ... no help ...

Having played the Calculator all year - very tough to fold in this spot ... could have folded with 5700 chips left ... and loads of play left but wrongly sensed him at it ...

Apologises to the team ...

Early morning poker no better than late night poker ...

AK into KQT ... I flat call the continuation bet ... river is a 3 ... bet/call ... turn is a 6 ... no flushes ...

He bets out ... GRRRR! ... I have to call ... half expecting the AJ ... but instead the joyous 33 for trips ...

Breakfast time ...

Five hours to the Aussie Millions final qualifier ... looks like a big overlay going to be in play ...

Currently 74 qualifiers/registraints ... would need 180 @ $500"s to break even for the 5 $18k packages on offer.

There are 9 g"teed seats for this afternoon"s qualifiers ...

A few will buy in for the value - but tough to transfer Betfair seats - so might just be a load of value for the qualifiers??

Watching Dundee United vs Celtic ... a weird 0-0 ... McGeady excellent ... nobody else showing much.

United should have had a penalty, but have done nothing else ... why are ref"s so poor ...

Fortune is off the scale - zero confidence - suits me!

Dundee United 2 Celtic 1

Tony Mowbray has got some big issues to sort out ... Caldwell and Loovens just cannot play together.

In the first half United never looked like scoring, but any crossed ball into the box looked like being a goal.

Two free headers, plus a Daly miss (another free header), plus one off the bar ... United were average and beat the hapless hoops ... a good start to the afternoon.

Levein favourite for the Scotland job ... will not be happy if he goes.

Weird football day continues with the unplayable Defoe romping back to favourite to top score in the Premiership ...

I had thought my slice of money on this was getting rather eroded in value.

Pretty full of the cold today ... tedious ... and mind affecting ...

E.g. I am now onto my second episode of "Golden Balls" ... in the first one of the contestants stole the £5.75 prize ... genius ...

I think it is better than Deal or No Deal ... but you are on the very flat part of an exponential curve here ... how about a game with some strategy or skill ...

Golden Balls ... balls drawn at random ... yet some amazing deductions drawn e.g. you have low value visible balls ... so you are more likely to have hidden killer balls!?!

Question - does that make for good TV - or just random TV?

Should they televise fruit machines being played by robots? (Maybe for the ill to watch)

If people want a human angle then Jasper Carrott can play the fruit machine!

Wow - Defoe scores again ...

Spurs 9 Wigan 1

Break 1 in the Betfair Aussie Millions Qualifier

33rd of 105 left - 5 seats.

Weird first 80 mins ... lots of cards but no match ups ... AA re-raise - fold ... AA re-raise - fold ... KK re-raise fold ... perhaps best this way ...

Earlier I fold 22 pre - to a raise to 6 times BB ... obvious 299 flop ...

All the loose stuff I played missed ... everything connected that I folded would have hit ... standard I guess ...

Lots of chips on my table : promising : dangerous ...

Break 2 ... and a tale of no cards ... finally shoved the T8 button into A8 ... and won ...

47th of 47 - 5 seats ... need luck fast ...

... and dead in 44th ... K9 into AK ... nothing happening today ...

Saturday - probable BRONCHITIS - Disaster ... not been helped by running around the country to networking events.

Go to Edinburgh on Wednesday - sheet rain and high winds.

Thursday - just the typical ice cold day perfect for a Scotland vs England rugby match - there is something about the moisture in the air and wind chill which makes impossible to function.

It reminded me of the game in 2000, England rolled into town for the Grand Slam, and left with a 19-13 defeat, Scotland"s only win of the season.

We had a dinner at Murrayfield on the Thursday night which was interesting ... piped into the stadium ... seems smaller than the 67,000+ capacity ... the pitch under artifical growing lights through the dark winter.

Food was okay, the classic "Scottish" menu ... Haggis Tower ... decent Lamb ... Heather Creme Brulee ... coffee and Tablet (Made from Sugar, Condensed Milk and Butter) (Ultimate health food - eat it and wait for your body to twitch).

John Beattie did the after-dinner speaking - and very funny - took a Rugby speech and twisted it for a much wider crowd.

Friday back to London for a black tie event (well white jacket and red bow-tie) - in Billingsgate Vaults - had a very interesting converstation with regards to big coporate chiefs competing to get random or themed buzzwords into speeches and TV interviews ...

... and now resting ... playback TV ... the F Word ... Edinburgh"s great value dumpling shop "Chop Chop" vs Manchester (who are going to win!)

Not sure what the correct poker option is ... feel a little in a trance ...
