feb update
ok so i not posted in a while, i'm just lazy!!
well that and work has been crazy since coming back in Jan
well my stars roll is now gone, my party roll is at bout $20 ish, i gonna try grind that up playing micro cash tables
now i know a lot of people set goals for 2008, i never did but i think i going to.... not now gonna have a think bout it 1st
but one thing i have decided... i just cant afford to play without rakeback so with that in mind i have put $100 on full tilt i am thinking bout putting some cash in either littlewoods or sunpoker as i can get good deals on both of them
i think for my pre work morning sessions full tilt will be my site of choice as i think its the only site with rakeback with a decent level of traffic at 7:30-9am uk time
but at weekends i think i will use l'woods or sun as they are both on uk time n i think have good traffic at weekends during the day time when i might be playing e.g. 11am -4pm ish
work is still crazy for me, and i have courses starting soon for my exams in jun so poker may be a little quiet for me, also got GF's mum with us n she stays in poker room/2nd bedroom so no play while she here.
hope ur all well n i will think bout those targets/goals n post some time soon ish

What a month!!
hey all, well as u may or may not be aware i peaked around the end of Aug getting the roll up to a fine figure of $600!!
then a few lost coin flips and was down to $500. This then sparked a few days of what can only be described as pure madness!!
Chasing and tilt saw me gamble and spunk my hard earned roll down to bout $160!!!!
i saw an article in a poker mag advising on building a $5k roll in like 9 months or something, they had 2 approaches SnG & Cash
For SnG they suggested playing single table $11 as any lower was a waste
for cash they suggested Buying in for half at a NL$25 i.e $12.50 25c blinds and sitting there tight as a nats ass and only playing AA,KK QQ and AK strongly i.e raising hard/reraising and firing again on flop
Being the fool that i am i sort of tried both approaches!!
up to yesterday my SnG results were pretty good:
$11 Speed:
Entered: 17
1st:3
2nd:2
3rd:3
Cost:$187
Return:$270
Profit:$83
basically i make the money 50%with an average $4.88 per game, (mag suggests anything above $2 is good)with is ROI of 44%
however another 3 games this morning which i have to admit i played bad!!
now looks likes this:
$11 Speed:
Entered: 20
1st:3
2nd:2
3rd:3
Cost:$220
Return:$270
Profit:$50
now i make the money 40%with an average $2.50 per game, (mag suggests anything above $2 is good)with is ROI of 22%
I play speed as they are easier to fit in before work!
I have also play a few non speed:
$11 regular:
Entered: 11
1st:4
2nd:1
3rd:0
Cost:$121
Return:$230
Profit:$109
i make the money 45%with an average $9.90 per game, (mag suggests anything above $2 is good)with is ROI of 90%
obviously much smaller sample of regular SnG's but seems like i should concentrate on more of these if i can
Now i said i tried the cash approach too, i started buying in for half on the NL$25 and playing tight (not as tight as mag suggests but fairly)
To Table From Table Profit/Loss % change
12.50 10.44 -2.06 -16.48
12.50 12.45 -0.05 -0.40
12.50 16.64 4.14 33.12
12.50 15.74 3.24 25.92

50.00 71.00 21.00 42.00
50.00 0.00 -50.00 -100.00
So up to yesterday my roll was looking good and up to $380but then this morning i spunked 3 speed sng's and 1 norm sng with no cash
so down $44 for day i decide to stick $50 on the NL$50, well one mis timed bluff and a horrid rivered str8 to villain saw that disappear!
So back to $280 ish now, but on a positive note i am going to sovereign poker club this sat night to play the £20 semi freeze out, wish me luck!!
any feedback on my roll and performance so far in sng's and cash very welcome!!

TILT ALERT!!
ok, firstly please check out my previous post as al thoughts bout what games i should play live at sovereign poker club are appreciated!!
ok 2ndly i don't feel any different but i am pretty sure i am on or a whisker away from a serious bout of tilt that wood seriously dent my quickly shrinking bank roll!!
all was going well til bout a week ago, i had slowly been grinding up taking the odd risk here and there but it was paying off
then i had those 3 days on holiday where i made $200 and got up to $600 roll
since then i have either played bad or got sucked out on!!
i made $10 this morning before work, only to go and lose $20 at lunch, and then the crazy set in!!
i had about $450 so what do i do...... i only went and put $100 on the table!!! jesus!!
in about 10 - 30 mins it was gone, to be fair i got done by AA, KK and was out kicked with top pair and str8 draw
jesus, i need to get my head str8 quick!!
so now down to $350 still a workable roll but how long will it take me to get back to over $500.....
damn it!!
ok so whats my best course of action guys? i know i should def drop a few limits so whats ur thoughts??
should i drop to:
pennypoker 2c/4c tables
5c/10c i.e $10 buy in
or 12c/25c i.e $25 buy in
??
i know i been seeing too many flops, trying to be too creative with suited connectors and mid pairs etc, thing is those are the hands that if i can hit i will build my roll a lot quicker then just waiting for premium hands that generally win small pots or get sucked out on for big pots

been a while
hey everyone i know its been a while since my last post
been busy with work, had a holiday, got my exam results......... I PASSED!!! bit of a shock but i will take it anyway i can
also played some poker, started well making bout $200 in 3 days, but since i've been erratic to say the least and am down down bout $150 from my high of $600
some bad play but also some bad luck, oh well thats poker
i mite of said b4 that i have the greenlight from the gf to go play at the sovereign poker club, i was gonna go during my hols but was bit busy so next wekend i will be going!!!
i have 2 choices, be a pussy and play the £5 re-buy so i can have a cheap look and find my feet
or man up and play the £20 semi freeze out....... more expensive and more likely to get out played or just make a fool of myself!!
what should i do??

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!!

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!!

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!!!!

SWEET!!!
well its been a while my friends, but i am back and i have good news!!
the gf went out on a works do the other evening, so u know whats that means.......
POKER TIME!!
oh yes!! i hit the tables and i hit them hard!
started on a $50 table and drifted up & down before being up i then lost bout $20 so i decided to leave
I then went on a $10 table and again made a few dollars then lost a few and then i lost it all when i push with top pair and flush draw only to be rivered!!
i nearly decided to call it a night there but i thought 1 more... so i went back to a $50 table as i am liking these
started slowly but then after bout 45 mins i went on a card rush i got QQ followed by KK and AK, AKs, JJ etc suddenly i was up to $70 then $100 then $130!!!
nearly doubled my buy in!! it was getting late then so as i was up decided to call it a day!!
take that u slags!!!
now i also played yesterday morning and if i had left when i was up $20 i wood be laughing, however i stayed and ended up $30 down after villain slow played AA and i couldn't put down top pair with str8 draw
damn!!
but then today... thank u party poker!!
i get on a $50 table and then a message pops up saying the server will be restarted after the next hand please wait in lobby to rejoin table
1 hand goes by, then it starts another, i get AKspades!! so i raise it up on to be reraised and called so i just pushed it all in!!!
they both called, one guy was short and the other was under $50,
flop comes 10,J,J one spade
so i got str8 draw
Turn 3 spades
come on baby Q or spade
RIVER................. x SPADE!!!!!!
the nut flush
thats right SHIP the $97 pot to DADDY!!
3 hands and i nearly double up, well i was not going to fuck it up today so i left there and then!!
Thank you party poker!!!
2 beautiful sessions and one that i should have left earlier see's me with a much improved roll!!!
now i just gotta get some consistency, if i can get a few more days like this then the roll will beheading right way towards $500 and then i just need to keep it up
now b4 anyone jumps in and says bankroll management!! i know my roll is not enough for the $50 tables but i just cant play on those smaller tables, at these tables i can actually start to read people and the hands they could have, so for now i gonna try stick to them

24hrs makes a big difference!!
Jesus!!!!!!!!!
yesterday morning i was up today i am down!!!
after yesterdays awesome mornings the roll was beginning to look healthy, in the space of 24 hours it now looks puny again!!
yesterday lunch time i went on party at work, i was up about $10 but after chasing a missed draw and trying to push someone off a hand when i hand junk i ended up down $10
still not to worry i had made $100 that morning so was still flying high!!
so work finishes 5:30 and what do i do???? yup i go back on party to try for a hit n run again, despite the disaster the previous day!
no surprise that with only really 10mins to play i was loose and aggressive and no surprise that i ended up down $35!!
ok so i made $100 in morning but managed to lose almost $50 with my crazy lunch and evening sessions
cue this mornings unbelievable session!!
for some unknown reason i start up 4 tables with $25 on each!!
well i started off tight, and played ok
as it was nearly time to log off i was up about $25 in total, i was up to $30 on 1, $33 and $43 and i was down to $18 on the other.
not a bad session i think......... if only i had gone then it wood have been
on the table with $30 i get KK in early and i say to myself don't donkey it up, but i decide to slow play just limping in, with a raise and call behind me i decide to just call and aslong as no ace on flop i will be pushing the cards hard!!
flop comes J high so i check so the raiser can fire at it which he does, i reraise him big, i thinkhe on maybe AJ????
anyway he pushes all in and i call only to have him show me JJ for the set, no king and i down to bout $4!!!!!!!
damn it!! ok so bout breakeven for the morning so i leave that table rather than rebuy
now i didnt feel on tilt but from that point on my play got worse and worse!!
my cards started to dry up, i was pushing my draws too hard and trying to push people off hands which i didnt and ended up being down on all tables!!!!!!!
why didnt i just leave when i was going to??? was just tempted by one last big hand!! and from then was just chasing to recover and never did!!
so from being a high yesterday morning and having a roll of bout $200 i am now low with roll of bout $110!!
i started on $145 this morning if i had left when up wood have been back to $170!!
4 tables is it too much?? i dont know, i was ok for most of my session, but with my roll i think it just too much risk of bad beats and loose play
think 2 tables i should stick to for now til i can get my roll up to say $400, which with the way i am playing will be some time!!

Who's ur daddy!!!
Hey all, hope u all had good weekends
i had an interesting few days poker, none this weekend though as was busy trying to do some shopping
bought some games for my playstation 2 only to go home and try them and find that 2 of them didnt work, so went back and changed them, this time one of them works but the other still doesn't!! by then couldnt be arsed so will go next weekend to try 3rd time lucky!!
so on to poker
on friday morning i had a nice little session where i stacked some guy, ended up about $40 profit!!
not bad, if i can keep that up my roll will soon be very healthy
anyway then i just couldnt say no to a quick session at end of work
work finished at 5:30 and i thought i wood do a quick 10 mins hope for a hit n run with some ok cards
well, i ended up pushing my draws too hard and ended losing about $40, so was back to where i started that morning!!!
Damn it!!
so today i was determined to make some profit and not spunk it away!!
and i did just that!!!!!
most tables were busy so i joined a few waiting lists, anyway i eventually got on this table with xxxDaddyCoolxxx who was sitting on nearly $100 at this $25 table
now i wasnt looking to go for him but thats just the way it panned out
check out this hand, in the SB and no raisers so i decide to see a flop with my somewhat questionable hand, & the flop is just great for me!!
cant believe my luck on that one!!
not too long later i then get this great hand!!!
limped in with middle and hit my set with top cards on flop!!, the turn was scary as it brought 2 flush draws so i decided to push to try and stop anyone drawing out on me, well the flush came on river but thankfully daddycool didnt have it
so with 2 hands i had taken most of his stack and was now up by bout $75!!!!
get in!! now i didnt want to donk this off so i played a few more hands tightly and then decided to leave
at the same time i had this other table open and managed to stack this other guy!!
i raise it up early with suited connectors, i lead out on flop with flush draw, when he reraises i decide to call hoping that if i hit flush i can get him, which i do!!!
what was he doing with A10??? who cares, a great morning for me see's me almost double my roll!!!!
lets see if i can keep this up!!!

Back with a whimper!!
Well as u know i have been forced away from the tables as mother in law staying with us recently, and in response to comments:
- no i am not scared of mother in law
- i am scared of GF and if i tried to play poker while her mum here, my life would be hell!!!!
so i made a comeback yesterday morning which i would rather forget, played 2 sng's a $6 10man which i got 3rd, and a $3 6man which i got 2nd, so crept into money on both!!
then i played cash and managed to drop $20 chasing draws twice!!
so today i thought wood start with sng's again as trying to preserve my little roll
was going well until this hand
i was shortly after!!
So i played another, got down to the bubble and was going well just needed someone to get the short stack out,
check out how it didnt quite go to plan
that really made things tight between the 4 of us!!
anyway it all went south a few hands later
with the suited ace i decide to raise
flop couldnt really get any worse could it!!
so bubble boy there, i bravely decided to try cash
i went on a $25 table and left a while later with bout $27-28 for a few dollars profit
then i decided to try my luck at the $50 table
was going ok, and then i made this brave/foolish play???
i thought he had 2 high cards so decided i would call his raise, i planned to check raise on river, but i didnt have to!!
anyway big shout out to all at RAISETHERIVER!!!!

on a rush!!
well i just went on party during my lunch break at work using their no download stuff
found a 6 tables and put on $25
won a few small pots and then the cards just kept coming, i had 77, 88,55,55,JJ,AQ,A10
i raised with my AJ and got reraised so i called to see a low flop with an ace, i bet the pot and this guy reraised again, i pushed all in and he called!!!
he had A10 so that was $25 off him!!
he loads up another $25 and bout 2 hands later i get 88
i raise only to get reraised by him and called by 1 other
now i figure i behind but if i hit an 8 i think will get paid so i call
flop comes a great J,8,x i bet half pot the guy i stacked reraises the other guy calls i now come over the top putting them all in, 1st guy calls other folds
well a scary 9 or 7 on turn had me praying he didnt hit str8
but its all good and another $25 from same guy comes my way!!
no real action after that apart from when my JJ was busted by 44, we both made sets on flop only running clubs with his 4 gave him a flush!!
thankfully he was small stack and only cost me bout $5
made it back and left on bout $76
i mite just recover this yet!!

running cold
hey everyone hope the world is treating u well, better than me anyway!!
been busy with work this last week so not much time to post my blog or catch up on everyones, hope to put that right soon.
poker wise after a great start on partypoker its going the other way now, big time!!
i cant hit any of my draws and am constantly being rivered!!
i have a pair and nut flush draw but he hits some crappy 2 pair!
i have nut flush and open ended str8 draw but still his 1 pair holds up
i have over pair with str8 draw but guy with nothing but runne runner flush hits it on turn and river
Aces and kings are being crack at will
when i have a good/strong hand i bet it hard and some guy lucks out,
so next time trying to preserve some cash i play it bit slower,
looks good on flop so i bet strong but not too much anyway of course the guy calls and hits some filth on river
one min i play too slow the next too fast and each time i just get busted!!
having one of those real crisis of confidence moments
u know where u just dont know what ur doing and it all just goes tits up!!
tried to build my small roll on stars and fulltilt, but same stories on those, playing tight and selectively when i do get some cards like AK or KK just not getting paid or getting lucked out on!!
