Walsall Trip Report

So zak (overcards) picks me up from our local boozer on friday afternoon, after i had three consecutive winners on the horses at 6/1 10/1 12/1 only singles though im afraid.

We set off to walsall at about 6:00pm in good spirits. The plan is to check into the Premier Inn about 7:30pm quick shower and then meet some of the tribeca lads in the village bar hotel at 8:00pm, i had a table booked in birmingham for 9:00pm for a bite to eat. When we arrived in the village hotel bar, we met James (royal flush) dempsey and his lovely girlfriend jane (ginger) and Tony (THEDADDDY), and later by alex (mralex2u) and tom (LuckyCU) and there non-playing mate simon.

After deciding to bomb the meal off, me and zak asked the table who was up for a few bars and clubs in birmingham. Flushy's hands were tied, so me zak, tom simon and alex jumped into a cab and headed off to birmingham, where we predictably found ourselves in the nearest strip club. We had a great laugh in the extortionate bar and fueled on god knows how many double vodka redbulls and champagne, proceeded to have dance after dance. It was only when tom proceeded to get the shots of tequilla and sambuca in that the night descended into messey-ness.

We Somehow managed to lose tom, alex and simon and ended up in a kebab house and finally got to sleep at about 5:00am.

When we arose from bed on the saturday morning zak and I were feeling as rough as bears arses, however since i was due to play in the 9:30pm sitting i wasn't that bothered.

After railing zak for most of the afternoon until he bust at the 200/400 level it was my sitting.
As i sat down i noticed that i didnt know a single face at my table, and proceeded to make a very shaky start twice being forced to pass AJ on a jack high flop.
Moving into each level with less chips than the previous, it was clear to me that maybe it wasn't going to be my day.

Hitting trips on the turn hollding 36 after calling a raise on the button i proceeded to flat call only to pay off the flush that hit on the river grrrrrrrr.


A few levels later and its desperate, i have 4k and the blinds are 200/400 i see three mid position limps and i squeeze my cards to see AQ i decide that i need to take a stand and raise the pot. All pass pretty quicky apart from the guy to my immediate right who thinks and thinks and then called. Hmmmmm


So i only have 800 back at this point and its going in on the flop of 8 6 4
I was surprised when he showed JJ as i would have expected him to raise himself pre-flop. The turn and river shit two bricks and i was gone.

Not too happy with my play but there isn't much you can do in four hours of pot-limit play with AQ and 55 as your best starting hands.

Was nice to meet alot of new people, just think my live game needs to be worked at.

since ive got back only one result when i took down the 5k speed yesterday for a little over $2k, but im predicting a win in the 20k this week.
