Revenge is SWEET!!

Morning all, hope everyone had a good weekend!!

well after an eternity its back, football , god i love it!!

This mornings poker was a rollercoster ride, and this one guy in particular seemed to be my foe, though i got revenge in the end

check out this first suck out by foe

calling all way to river with nothing but a draw and of course he hits on river!!!!

then someone else decides they wanna suck out on me!!

not my morning so far!! well i got some cash back, but then original foe decides he wants some more of me, but little does he know i got pockets ACES!!!!

if only i had know he had the monster J5off!!! what the hell is he calling my bet with that for??? and of course flops 2 pair!! so maybe i could have folded to his all in push but having seen this guy he could easily have had AK or 99 so had to hope my aces were good!

well thankful i was bout $30 up on another table, it was nearly time to go to work, but i decided to buy in again and hoped to make some back b4 i had to leave

well i didn't have to wait long b4 i won my cash back off Mr SuckOut

check out this great hand

i knew from my previous hands that this guy wood call down huge bets with nothing but draws, so when i hit on turn i decided to bet about pot, which he calls, so on river knowing i had the nuts i figured lets bet big again as this guy is likely to call or raise!

which is just what he did!! so got it all in and left bout 2 hands later on $100 ish , basically even on that table, but with the $30ish i was up on other table made a nice little profit for the day and see me pass the $400 mark for the first time!

morning madness!

well i been going crazy these last few mornings

check out this bluff

bit crazy by me, but with the checks on turn and river i thought it seemed weak and given the flop if they had something they would reraise so i jammed on the river to take the lot with NOTHING, SUCKERS!!!!!!

however, things didn't quite go as well in this hand, the table was fairly passive so i was raising a fair bit

with connectors i decide to raise and get a few callers, with the flop flushing, i decide to check raise it hoping this would take it down, i do have a draw to a flush possible str8 and an unlikely str8flush

well starts ok with my check, and this guy takes a stab betting something like 2/3's of pot so then i come back with my reraise!!

only for him to jam back over the top of me!!! what could i do here?? i made my play and it didn't work, now he could be doing same as me or he could have flush or over pair??

decided wasn't worth the risk and folded, any thoughts??

but i finished the morning in style with the cowboys!!

had hoped for some pre flop action with me in sb with KK, so i raised it up a bit and got a few callers, i bet small on flop to see if someone wood re-pop, when flush hit turn i overbet to make it look like a bluff/steal, hoping someone didn't have the flush or read it as a bluff, thankfully one guy did, but as he didn't reraise i figured he was weak so jammed on river and thankfully he called!!!


think i has 3 winning days in row now, and roll going right way towards $400!!!
good job as before this run was down to bout $230 at one point!!

now if i can just keep the losses down and the wins up i could get somewhere!!

lunch time quickie!!

check out the mighty ducks!!

had a quick 20 mins at work, was just bout to leave and thought wood limp with the ducks, when it was min raised and then reraised i nearly folded, but then i though it was worth a call cos if i hit a 2 i wood likely get paid!!

best flop i could hope for!!

yes!!!

good morning

well i hope everyone made the most of the british summer, cos this weekend was probably the start and end of it!!

glorious day as it was i still managed to squeeze some poker in with the gf's approval

played to $6 tournies and was doing ok in each til just before bubble i was over aggressive against chip leader both times!!

both times i had AK and raised pre flop so when the chip leader the bets on raggy flop or reraises my c bet i figure he just bullying so i pump it !!

well both times little did i know that chip leader had pocket 77 and made his set on flop!!

oh well

had a good session this morning, and the following hand was so nearly amazing, when the flop comes i like it, but when the action starts heating up i am so close beating one out!!!! all i see is the monster pot building for me, and then when i see half of it go the other way i am gobsmacked!!!!
