well another morning and more stupidity!!
today feeling rather brave/stupid i start up for games!! 2 on FT one $1 turbo and a $2 turbo, on stars one $1.75 2 table turbo and one $6 2 table turbo
typically in the 2 cheaper tournys i started well, but in the other 2 was just coasting along waiting for some cards
i destroyed the $1.75 on stars and soon was chip leader out of 12 then 10 then 9 etc....
in fact it was only when we down to 6 that some people got stacks close to mine!!
early on it was just beautiful, no matter what i had it seemed to hit!! 2 early double ups and then a few more good pots
anyway when down to 6 things tightened up and i lost a few chips here and there, eventually down to 3 then i take out 3rd and we HU with about even stacks, i get the first advantage when i take bout 4k off other guy
i on 20k he on 8k!!
then he starts pushing all in a few times, i dont wanna risk it just yet so i fold, then he pushes again and i have A2, i figure my ace is ahead so i call
he has 6J hearts
flop xxx
turn x, looking good, no flush, just one more bullet to dodge
river...... 6!!
damn it!!
suddenly i lagging chips!!
i get a few more back, but he starts pushing again
so when i get 67 diamonds i push
he has A2, maybe its a sign and it wont hold up again??
flop xx2
turn A
river 2!!!
typical!!
oh well 2nd is ok
in the 2 FT games i take a 3rd and 6th, and in the other stars game 6th also
so all in all, not a great start
so then as usual i figure lets see if i can make some back in cash games
so more unusually for me i decided to keep it small
i put $5 on then 1c/2c table
its pretty passive and i take a few early pots, not bad
then when i have AQ and flop an ace a small stack goes all in for 53c i call and he has nothing!! no pair barely even draw!!
so i then up to $6.13 wow!!
a few more pots and i nearly at $7
then the hand that had to happen
i get 10J diamonds and raise 2xbb a few callers as seems to be the norm at this level
flop comes xJJ !!!there is a bet and raise before it comes to me, i reraise about $2, fold fold, then this guy goes all in... for like 50c more so of course i call
whats he got???? 710 hearts, so a weak draw to a str8... but whats that i see 2 hearts on the board!!
turn x and no heart
river.... do i even need to tell u... HEART!!!!!!!!! jesus christ, why is it everyone hits there flush draw against me!!! yet i never seem to get mine.. oh well such is life, u get kicked when ur down!!
anyway with time pressing on and being down to $4 i decide to leave before i do something stupid!!
anyway, i have left message with a few of my fellow bloggers but no harm is asking everyone
i play most mornings before work 7:30-8:45ish am uk time
if anyone wants to watch or would be kind enough to watch/advise me a bit then would be most appreciated, just leave a comment or email me pokeking69@yahoo.co.uk and we will see what we can sort out.... my game hopefully!!
anyway i promise more theory soon, also have to say well done to liverpool last night in footy, sorry to chelsea fans out there, i all for supporting the british clubs in europe but with mr big heads attitude i was glad that chelsea lost and cant go for a quad!!

the last week
well i hope everyone is good and well and the cards are working for you!!
well i have some up and then downs since my last post
the day after my last post i played a $2 turbo on FT and WON for a nice $9, the account up to $20 now, however since then i played 3 and out early in one, bubble in another and 3rd this morning so prob more like $15 right now
On stars i been playing the $6 2 table turbos, i got 2nd for $30 or 40 i also bubbled once and another lower finish
so it mixed bag,
this morning though i crumbled and played a cash table!! i got stop myself cos i only seem to lose, there is a different style required for cash tables and i just haven't got it yet!! any tips on cash game greatly appreciated!!
so i put $25 on a table, too much of my bank roll i know, but i just cant seem to manage the lower limits, i know i still losing on this limit but i feel apart from the one bad call i always make where i lose, overall at the 10c/25c table i got more of a feel for things
so starts ok small pot here, then i make Ace high str8 and get a few more dollars off a guy, and i up to $31.55 so nearly $7 up, then in BB i have Q6diamonds and late guy min raises as a few see call i figure i getting odds for a speculative call
flop comes QA6 rainbow!!
ok so 2 pair, and given the size of raise pre flop i guessing no one got AQ, A6 maybe? but i figure my 2 pair best or even right now so i check
there a bet and then the original raiser (late guy) raises to 75c, not that strong given pot size, so i reraise to $2.50 everyone else folds he thinks and calls,
turn = 2, not scary right? so now the pot getting big, he started with bout $8-10 so he only got bout 3-4 left now, and i want it so i figure this guy has an Ace and will bet it so i check again, bit dodgy but he bets $2 i rerasie him all in and he calls
i have 2 pair Q&6
he has A2 for 2 pair!!
damn!!
so i lose and down to like $19
small pots here and there, and then another time i manage to lose a $5 pot and down to $13, at this point i figure best i leave before i do the lot!!
so stars account now down to bout $90 after being up close to $130, damn!! just a few tournys with no cash and 2 bad days on cash
must avoid the cash til i get control and more roll!!
will do some strategy posts soon
non poker related, get in Man utd, awesome game to come back against AC Milan for a 3-2 lead, though still on knife edge, but even better, the come back against everton for a 4-2 win, esp when Bolton did us huge favour and drew with Chelsea!!
also what a lovely wkend, shame i was on a course all day sat, but spent sunday in garden, unfortunately all day working as currently its a jungle that indiana jones could happily trek though, still some progress and garden looking bit more friendly now!!

some form
good day all
well another good day at the office for me this morning
Full Tilt $2 turbo, starts off with a bang!!
there this manic that raised all in first 2 hands, he gets one caller and takes them out first hand, 2nd hand no one wants any of it.
so 3rd hand he pushes all in again, in late position i see AK and decide to gamble i call all my chips
he has....... Q5!! monster!
sure enough i hit a king on turn and now i doubled up
he folds 4th hand
5th hand he's all in again, still acting after him in mid position now i have A10, i decide its time to stop this maniac and reraise, everyone folds
he has.... 79 another monster
think i took it with Ace high, not sure either way down to 7people and me leader on 4k
things got back to normal after that and soon it was down to 5 then 4, i had been pretty conservative and when i did raise or push i generally got the respect and they all folded
by now there were 2 of us in lead and one hanging on with another kind of in the middle, well middle guy takes out short stack and we in the money, its pretty cagey now and then as i fold the other 2 decide its time, soon onough all the chips in the midle and we down to 2 though i am now bout 2:1 down in chips
it get even then i go ahead in chips, then i bet when i dont think he has hit the board only for him to reraise i call and he has hit it and now i in trouble i push all in a few times and luck out but i still well down, i push again with 45, he calls with A2,
flop 2,4,7 looking good
turn 5!! looking even better no ace or 3 and i am.....
river 3 and he makes a str8!!
oh well, 2nd and some much needed cash in FT!!
at the same time i started pokerstars, and soon found a $6 turbo 2 table sng and also a $3 45 man sng that were nearly starting, so unable to resist i registered for both
playing 3 tables at one was bit tricky but i managed it ok, obviously i couldn't really watch the other players and was just playing the cards and using my instincts but all in all it went pretty well
on the $6 2 table, i waiting for the right time made some moves, soon down to final table and i was 4th in chips!!
when we got down to 7 with 4 paid there were 2 big stacks and i was average, well my time came when i raised with A7 in late position, got a call from one of the bigger stacks, flop came 8j2, he checks now he could be trapping but i figure he mite have nothing so i check thinking a bet on the turn mite take it
turn was 8 pairing the board at this point he either checked or bet small, now on the flop i was worried, but for some reason on the turn i managed to convince myself he didn't have it so i reraised bout 2/3rds my stack...... well he pushed then ans with so little left back i figured i had to call
well yes he had a J and my miracle ace didn't arrive on river so 7th and not in the money
bit disappointed with that as what with playing 3 tables at once i had played pretty solid and was progressing well in all tourny's, also i had felt something was wrong on the flop but then i ignored that feeling on turn and thats what cost me!!
so with that over i was down to 2 tables, you know what happend on FT, so on the $3 45 man turbo made my way quietly along getting few chips here and there, when down to 18 people started pulling away and when down to 12 i got a run of cards that made sure i would get in cash!!
first i got AA and managed to get a middle stack all in!! nice
then i got 99 and took a pot away from someone who was constantly stealing
then with K9 i flopped a gutshot str8 draw and a 10 on turn ment i took out another middle stack when my str8 bit his 2 pair
so down to final table again!!, there were 2 big stacks on 18k and a few others dotted around with a few small stacks on 2-4k
2 small stacks went quickly, then i pushed with 66 and picked up blinds and anti's for a nice 2k addition to my stack, then with AQ i pushed again to get another 2k
soon down to 6 with 7 paid so we all in money!!
i pushed when i had something and picked my spots wellsoon down to 3 and i needed some help as the other 2 had 40k and 18k to my 9k,
the blindsa were 600/1200 so not long to go, before i got hit for another blind i pushed, got called and didn't hit anything so finished in 3rd for $21
all in all very happy!!
then i buggered up again, put $25 on cash table, waiting for a smash and grab but it never came and then when i did bet on my draw it never came and left table with £12, so minor mis hap
gotta use some more control when playing for cash, but tourny's seem going well

another cash/another bubble
well played usual $2 turbo on FT, crawled into 4th pushed and that was that, was pretty tight at end so everyone was pushing all in every other hand or so, just the way it goes!!
on stars i logged in just as a 45 man $6 turbo was nearly full, so i got in there.
played tight ish got to last 20 easy enough, but was slowly dropping down, when down to 12 i got some cards and suddenly just as we made final table of 9 i took out a guy and there 8 left with me 2/3rd in chips!! 7 get paid!!
down to 6 and there are 2 big stacks on bout 17k 3rd on 13k and me on 9k, well at this point there we not many flops
now i cant remember exacly how it went down, did i raise and get re raised or did i call an all in??
anyway the guy on 13k and me on 9k got it all in pre flop some how
he turns over A10off and i am feeling good bout my AJoff!!
flop xxx all low and i getting excited now, no 10 ,3 outs to avoid
turn.... 10!!!
river despite my prayers no J
so i got in all in infront but it didn't hold, out in 6th for $18 was hoping for a top 4 finish really which was bout $30ish and up
all in all happy
did i make right call??
well my thoughts at that stage were that the guy on 13k had pushed a few times and could be pushing with Ax or even just a steal, so i decided my AJ was prob bout even or a light underdog and this would gove me equal big stack and great position to press on for a win.
any thoughts??

Good Day
hope everyone had a good weekend
started usual $2turbo on FT, played tight til mid way through when was getting low on chips cant remember if i pushed pre flop or on the flop, i had a pair got called and someone made trips or 2 pair, pretty uneventful really
though i have now had my first rakeback deposit into my ft account, and after i lost the $2 turbo it said that i had cleared $5 of my bonus!! so an extra $9 for my to toy with!!
on stars played a $6 2 table turbo, pretty solid made 3rd for $21 nice
then i hoped on a 2c/5c table and lost bout $8
then on moment of madness started a 10c/25c tables with $25, was hoping for one good hand to get paid, well i didn't have to waot long!!
there a raise to $1 and in mid position i find 88, i call and flop x,8,k !! now i hoping he has AK or some of it, he bets $2 and i just call, turn no scare card so he bets $5 i raise to $18 he thinks and calls, river not much he bets $3 i reraise my last $3.70 and all in, he calls and mucks!!!
and a very welcome near $50 dollar pot comes my way, i leave table there and then

Bubble Boy
Oh so close today, this morning i decided i was gonna be solid
i started Full Tilt $2 turbo and pokerstars $6 2 table turbo, not much happening on full tilt but on pokerstars i got off to a good start flopping a str8
not much to say played tight on full tilt but just didnt get any cards, on stars i managed to get a few more chips and gradually build a bit but no great progress
on full tilt i then start getting some cards make some good hands, make a few good bluffs and we down to last 4 and pretty even
om stars all was going well til we got down to 12 i was in top 5 and i got A7 orsomething late position so i raised as no one had entered yet, get one caller behind me, flop comes 77Q rainbow!! i bet bout half pot get called, turn not much but 2 of a suit now so i bet bout 700 which was nearly pots size i think? he calls again, river is the 3rd suit and now i got feeling he got the flush, i bet 600 he raises i call and yup he got flush on river, i should have been more aggressive earlier
anyway with that i was pretty low on chips, final table time i am mid position with 56off, as soon as there are 2 callers i figure there enough in pot for me to gamble on it and try tripple up, so i push all in folded back to blinds who both call as do the 2 callers, flop cant remember but when the 2nd guys bets big they all fold apart from one guy who now goes all in himself
the better has QQ, other guy A10 ish, turn and river..... i draw a str8 on river!!!!!
saved and i am back in game, amazingly at this point the table starts talking bout me being a superdonk!!! one hand when i desperate and they all write me off, well if they under estimate me it fine by me
it fairly tight with 8 left, i hit a few flops and get up a bit, then my dream hand
i get AA in late they an aggressive chip leader in BB who been raising a lot, so i limp he raises as i expect and i call
flop nothing to worrying he bets i reraise min and he comes back all in... just like i thought he would, i call and and now chip leader
back to work lunch over, will continue this later
ok so i back
so i was chip leader though not by much, things went round and round lots of stealing not many flops, cant remember much more though we got down to 5 with 4 paid, now i av stack pushes here and there see chips moving from one to other of us then with 1010 i push and get called by bigger stack he has K10hearts
flop: 10!!! xx one heart
turn heart
river heart
and my trips are no good!!
so close
on full tilt i made it to bubble time again and got it in with AK or AJ, called by 9K or 9J all the way to turn i ahead, river... 9!! he hits his bottom card on river and i out on bubble again!!
oh well so near yet so far!!

Just too much
good day all and hope ur all well and the cards are being good to u!
well i tried full tilt today and all is back to normal, however i didn't play my $2 turbo as was going for 3 days on the run on pokerstars $6turbo 2 table tourny
Carried away, i saw the 2 table tourny had 5 seats left so i quickly registered, but at the same time i saw a $6 turbo 5 table tourny which was nearly full and in a rash moment i registered for that too!
well not too much to tell early on, play solid tight not seeing many hands
on the 2 table tourny caught a few cards but never really got going, when we down to 7 and 4 get paid i was getting low in chips, i decided AJ suited was good enough so in early position i pushed, got one caller from late position, they had AQoff..... well an Ace on flop didn't help and with no more luck was out in 7th
was fairly happy with my play considering fairly poor hands i got most of the time
in the 5 table tourny, i got 1010 and raised, one caller a flop of 10A5 was enough for us both to get it in but no help for his A9 and i was in top 5 of 30 remaining, doing ok then i get KK in BB now about 4 other call, so with so many in the hand and no position i decide i gota raise, so 4xBB and only 2 callers now
flop.. no ace pls..... A107, i know at least one of these guys has to have an ace so i check then fold when the action starts, they get it all in and its AK v KJsuited, AK holds up and it was a good fold by me just shame couldn't get anything for my kings!!
i drop down but stay around the top 10 as it gets down to 20
i make and lose a few hands here and there as i slowly move down the order
then, in late position i get KK again!!
a few callers and i decide i need the chips so again i raise bout 3/4 x BB
get 1 or 2 callers again
pls no ace on flop and i am pushing!!
flop...... A45!! damn those Kings, so again i check fold it and again Ax v A+lower kicker see's someone else knocked out
top 7 get paid and down to 12 and i bout 10th
i hanging in now by thread, blinds and anti's getting higher so before i got nothing left to worry people with i push all in, cant remember what with, maybe 10Jsuited? wasn't quite desperate any 2 cards time but with blinds coming round it wasn't far away either, anyway i get called by the big stack he hits one of his cards and i am out!! in 12th
so no cash place today!!
overall fairly happy, pleased with my 2 lay downs of the kings cause there been times before that i fallen in love with the big pair and not let it go or try over play it, i will write bout that soon.

well i tried full tilt today and all is back to normal, however i didn't play my $2 turbo as was going for 3 days on the run on pokerstars $6turbo 2 table tourny
Carried away, i saw the 2 table tourny had 5 seats left so i quickly registered, but at the same time i saw a $6 turbo 5 table tourny which was nearly full and in a rash moment i registered for that too!
well not too much to tell early on, play solid tight not seeing many hands
