You Lucky Little B#]tard

below is a nice little 1 outer which cost me $600 odd

E-video!!!

ive decided to record a tourney i play in using a camcorder. I will be talking through my moves and analysing my plays. I am doing this for a few reasons;


1) so i can see where my mistakes happen.
2) so better players than i can TELL me what im doing wrong or what they would do differently.

3) so people can get an insight of one night in the life of the claimer...

comming sooooooooooooon..............

Get me Drunk!

Came back from pub at about 3:00am and loaded the $5,000 guaranteed up and absolutely murdered the comp from 2 tables out, Some of the drunken moves i were making were very good, and i was surprised that the all got through!!! stop and going, re-re-raising pre flop with rags. calling turn bets and check raising the river with garbage. When i got to final 6 one guy on the cut-off raises and i go -over the top with AdKs he flat called and left 11k back, the flop was beautiful
As Js 7s now i gotta like that, he had QQ and the spade on the river secured the victory. Once i got 3 handed i had 420k against two 60k stacks and hu started with the same lead against a buddy of mine cash mecall.

He started Hu raising a lot of hands and i had to lay them down. he just about drew level in chips before he raised to 60k pre-flop, i got tired and made a stand with TJd which saw a pass. A few hands later i got J3clubs in bb, Cash made it 12k more and i peeled one off. The flop came 8J3. I wanted his chips in at this point, so bet out 18k, cash re-raised to 48k which i flat called with the intention to check raise/call his all-in on the turn. The turn came a blank, I checked he bet most of his stack and i pushed. He had to call with the size of the pot and his T8 was no-good even with the T on the river.

Nice $2400 after playing drunk, i need that agression everytime i play so, Get the beer in

Weekend

consumed a lot of alcohol this weekend, saturday saw the engagement party for friends rooney and H. I had a very enjoyable time mixing with "all walks of life" and grabbing the mic @ the end of the night for a bit of accepello (sp) mcfly singing!!!

On sunday i finished my novice poker class at the local pub to return in time for the $1m garanteed on partypoker. Managed to come 470th out of 4,089 for a profit of $300.

After this i played in a regular $109 comp and played very very well.

Got shafted well and truly by a guy who i re-raised all in with AA and he called with A9 of clubs and backdoored his flush in a 140k pot, the same guy a few hands later won our flip with his AK vs QQ so i ended up final table-bubbling which pissed me off but by then it was nearly 7:00am so i was cream-crackered.

ciao 4 now

ive decided to have a break from blue square for the time being, maybe due to bad form,( the past 2 weeks have been just awful!) or maybe because the tournaments on offer are not on par with the other big sites, or most likely because i want to test myself in the biggest fields online in the big million dollar gauranteed comps every sunday.

So ive decided to give partypoker a go still getting used to the software, but unfortunately the bad run seems to be continuing (sob sob)

what made me laugh is i played 3 mtts on party last night, went busto in them all with AA which ran into KK on a K22 flop i read him for AK and was wrong :-(
AQ which turned the nuts on a KT2J board only to get busted by a guy who thought his King with a flush draw was good enough to go with, obv the spade arrived on the river, and AT of clubs on a Ad 2c 5c board the guy had called my pre-flop raise with AA ouch.

So after that i went on blue square and played a $3 feeder to some wpt event and basically went all-in every hand and played like a muppet. needless to say i cruised to a seat by beating AA and Ak with 34 sooooooooooooooooted, they were not bunnies, but i wasn't, id won a $198 seat but done in $400 on party's comps arrrrrrrrg

My name on party is the title of the post btw,

for once im happy with third

Reached the final of the 20k last night after playing really well, and only sucking out once when i moved my last 5 big blinds in with 22 and ran into QQ, but the 2 on the flop saved me. The final started with me in 8th chip position out of 9 with about 140,00 chips with blinds at 5k/10k fortunately though there was a huge lucksack who by sucking players out left right and centre managed to aquire 1,675,000
chips by the time it was 4 handed.
there was a guy in the last 4 who had been disconnected for the entire final table, he had 80k or so when it was 4 handed and with a near $1k difference between 3rd and 4th i decided to do the pussy thing and wait for him to get k'od.
So when he was all in for 10k on the bb with 10/20k blinds we all decided to see the flop. which came 3 6 9 which fitted my 39 very nicely, i decided just to shove all in for 130k which was called my the CL with 58
yes the 7 came on the turn toseal my fate in third, but if this guy hadnt have knocked all of those players out i would have been probably 5th or 6th with the trash i got from the dealer in the final.
Been a while since ive won a comp outright, probably about 18 days but at least im playing better in the 20k and 15k comps. My time will come
