ok, i now would have a donk with a dry ace rather than a good player, i got trapped when i was calling a flop bet to hit a flush, i put opponent on top pair so thought that fourth street was a miracle, he hit a bigger flush and read that i was drawing. now please:

IF YOU ARE A DONKFISH, PLEASE SEND A LETTER TO THE USUAL ADDRESS SO I CAN SEE IF I CAN BEAT A DONK(i will offer 3/1 on anyones money for the practise i need, any offers).

only joking, it was a bad read in my opinion. ive had a good run of form and the variance is swinging the other way now so have to run with the rough and the smooth.

im annoyed with myself tonight(not with poker, the move was standard) as ive lost my two pool matches that i was playing, the table was awful(top cushion could not be swerved off, came back straight 5 times) and i could not get my arm swinging. our team lost 9-1 and the opponents did have the run off the ball.

dont know when ill be playing poker next but i will let you know

good luck to all

just been playing the poker player freeroll gukpt satellite, i lasted thirteen minutes(longer than i usually last doing what i enjoy) because it was a car crash, twice had ak on the bb, everyone folded. i raised in mid position with jj and won the blinds(its easy at the moment) and the next hand had jj again, i raised and got called, queen high flop, i bet, he raise, i fold. on the bb had 65 sooted, checked, hit two pair, raised, he shoved for half my stack, i called, he had a set and i was crippled, the sb hand was a pair of sixes, i shove(tilted), got called by kq, queen on the flop, im out.

the tourney was not meant to be, but the cash online is slowly(very slowly, im going to blow up and donk it off soon) coming in as ive tightened my game online but it is ssssooooooooooooo boring, there is no fun when i could be shouting for a miracle deuce(one outer) at my laptop, once in a very long while im shouting yes as i hit it and feel like god. just playing tight aggressive is fine live but online i just want to go to the table and go in arnie style and blast away.

a bit of live poker tomorrow and then off to malta on sunday. im hoping to go the casino that is a short walk from my hotel and play a bit over there(if the wonderful girlfriend, sorry dragon would let me), will let you know if i do.

good luck to all

got back from malta, got serious sunburn on my head, did not play poker over there, the tourneys at the casino were rubbish, no one wanted to play a live sng so just enjoyed my holiday.

not much on the poker front to come this week as just want to sort out some other things that are taking up my time, my motorbike (suzuki bandit 600) just needs tidying up for the mot and a car that i own that needs cleaning and mot"ing.

good luck to all and hope i can play soon

FORM FORM FORM. i took down the local home game. it did not go too good when i raised pre with  ad1 kd and got a caller(very loose), flop was  ah :as: 4c, he shoves, i snap call(about 1/2 my stack), he shows  7d 7h, turn was  7c, river was  9c. not good but it did prove to me that players are going to have to get ssssoooooo lucky to beat me. i plugged away and won a few juicy pots when there was 3 left i had  ac ks on the bb, the sb was chip leader, he raised, i shove, he snap calls with  ad1 jh, board did not improve his hand, woop woop, down to two after 1/2 hour of grinding small pots and i was behind in chips by 2/1 but i felt good. i was on the sb with  ac qd, i raise, he calls, flop  kd tc 4h, he bets, i think he has nothing and buying the pot so i shove, snap call he flips  kc td, i was dead to the jack, the turn was the beautiful  jc and the river was the very safe  5h. i had the chip lead, he kept shoving though so when i looked at   7s 8s i asked for a count, i could afford to gamble at a 60/40 and still just have him outchipped so i call, he flips  jh 4c so i was in better shape than first thought and even better when the flop was  8h 8d :3s:, turn was  :2d: and he was drawing dead. i got a bit of stick calling his all in with a suited connecter but when i explained why i called, even he had to aggree with the call(it might be loose but i felt like he was shoving light so decided to have a gamble)

just thought i would post the fact i have not played too much poker, it been the pub league(if you can call it poker, it is a good laugh though) and one game round my new pad(which i took down even though everyone could see my hole cards if they looked at the glass cabinate behind me, i only noticed it after the game). i hope to try to drum a few players tonight for a home game but if not then a trip to kings lynn is on the cards for saturday evening as the dragon is out. i hope to buyin for the next apat tourney as the wcoap was excellent(but unprofitable, was waiting for my friend wilby as he was playing the £50 freezeout which he took down after a 5 way chop, i was losing money on the river at cash games, not a huge loss but should have had some profit)

speak soon

Maybe you should try your hand at one of those APAT online national thingies. The last last couple seem to have been profitable for the season 2 yarmouth posse. ;D

sounds tempting, but im no good online. played the geldeston home game last night and only won one hand for the night. played too tight and passive and bled my chips away. thinking i need to let some aggression out i sat on stars(deposited £20, had $30 to play with) and played a bit of holdem cash, lost $10 in 5 minutes(aa vs ak, board was  jc qd tc, no king turn or river, standard but i did get the 4th bet in first and then he shoved, i cant fold surely????) so played a heads up sng for $5, lost that and accepted his rematch, lost that also, lucky fish(he kept shoving so a10 seemed to be above his range imo, he had aces when i called in the second match, poor timing, about 20 degrees out, i was certainly pinking and ready to detonate and melt down soon) so decided to play omaha, sat at 2c-5c game with my last $10 ready to donate and i suddenly had a card rush, i was up to $43 and could not miss, this was at 2am and i thought i would play for a bit longer, missed a double flush and straight draw when he had bare aces, i kept pot betting and he kept calling and i missed the draws, his last bet of $1.12 i had to call as there was $19.50 and i did have queens so was hoping, i was down to $20 at 2.45 and was not happy and feeling really tired but i thought ill play till 3am and go to bed. at 2.59 i had $19.73 and held ad1 kd qs qh, i raised the pot(15c), got one caller, flop was  qd td tc, he pot bet, i repotted him, he repotted me, we get all the money in the pot(cant you blame me, full house and a gutshot straight flush draw) and he held  jc ts :2s: 4c, a set, happy days, the turn was  7h and the river was  th to give him quads, at 3am i did retire from the game and had no money at all.

im starting to wonder whether im wasting my money at poker as it seems im getting very unlucky every time i try to play, i know i was having a shoot and not playing within my bankroll but i get my money in ahead most of the time and always get unlucky, maybe i should play a lot more and not play when the swing is not in my favour

hi all, im sorry that i have not posted much in the way of a blog for some time but there have been a few reasons:

1) since ive moved in with the girlfriend, the time to play has shrunk to one night a week and on the odd occassion two nights a week

2) as i have no internet access at home, i cant even play online and donate money.

3) one night a week is not enough info to blog about.

so as i have not played much i dont have much to brag or winge about but when i do i will let you know

Are you playing in the unofficial Norfolk deepstack championships on 29/11/09? The field includes Andrew and Caroline Cunningham-Brown, me, Steve Stringer and my brother who you may remember from those tournies at Yarmouth. Should be a corker.

yep im registered for that, be nice to see everyone. should be a good day(and no i will not donk off 50k in the first level, im already having nightmares about it as i can see it in my sleep lol) and will be nice to catch up.

im doing some things to hopefully improve on poker, my concentration is getting better as im reading a lot of books and i can concentrate for quite some time but the thing that i want to quit is smoking, what is the number for the stop smoking helpline(im not watching tv at the moment and cant remember the number) as this would be very helpful.

on will power alone i have not had a ciggi for 48 hrs, ive got the bike on the road and cleared up some other things that have bugged me. i have come to thinking that i dont play often enough (especially online league matches) but i have decided to do things right, whilst i am playing small fun tourneys at the pub, im saving up a bankroll that would get me properly on the poker ladder, i have made the playoffs down the pub and had some form of sorts around home games but im just playing abc poker as moves, semi bluffs ect just dont work, just shove with the best of it and fold when you have the worst of it and it is proving to be successful on paper(ive made £60 profit in the last 3 months, not much but i have not played much though.)

so give me a few months and ill be blasting on the circuit. cant wait till the 29th, big freezeout coming.

i just busted out of the third place qualifier down the pub, my button shove with  ac 8h rain into jacks and tens, no ace on board and out. new league tonight so out comes the abc poker book so will need cards tonight to get off to a good start.

as the dragon is going away for a week i have plannedmy week, it involves:

monday night 10k £10 freezeout down the pub

thursday night the £10 rebuy at the grosvenor(with out any anger or mention of inbredness)

friday night the £10 freezeout at geldeston"s spieler

hope i get some results soon as it is about time i get some help off the poker gods. also me and rich want to play down the pub completley rat-arsed, should be fun.


will update on any result good or bad
