TheClaimer v Portfolio

Me and Portfolio always have some heated bantor at the tables of the 20k and 15k comps on tribeca, me usually calling porty granite and him usually calling me a luckbox, card-rack etc... which is all true, but over the course of a month i reckon i can whip his arse in the 20k and 15k comps on tribeca therefore hae offered him the challenge, which is ;

Porty and I will play the 20k and 15k comps throughout the month of feburary and whoever gets the most combined winnings is the winner and the loser must pay $100 to the charity of the winners chioce.

Porty has already told me he is away from the 5th-11th so i will discount the comps i play in that period.

This challenge came about because i need some motivation to knuckle down online in mtt's this month and what better motivation is there than whooping a granite rock who still tries to sneak into the money to claim $30 profit, Lets Get Ready to Rumble!!!!!

60 online mtt wins in 2007

as i have aluded to on my BSQ/GJP profile my target this year is to win 60 or more mtt's online this year. I believe this is possible for myself as my aggressive late game often means either busting 2 tables out or taking the comp down. So far Janurary has been pretty shaky online however i have managed to wrap four victory's up so far 3 in the morning 3.5k and one in last nights $200 f/o for $4,350.

I have been trying to get out and play more live poker which of course will affect my online target somewhat but i have decided to be very choosy of where i go and play live as it is very hard to be a long term winner playing on the u.k circuit year in year out.

I made a trip to brighton last weekend and thouroughly enjoyed my stay at the cat and horse tavern. The comps for myself were no good, but i did manage to get a 10% off flushy which was worth £680 after he won the £300 f/o after a four way chip count.

I met up with pete alez and tom on the friday and us and junglecat03 proceeded to go out and get absolutely lethered on the town, i then proceeded to go back to the casino pissed as a fart and lose £300 on cash in 3 hands and a bit on roullette.

Mike lacey has a green joker poker tournament in may and a recommend this tournament to all, 15k chips and an hour clock with all the levels included, should prove to make many the player drool with excitement.

I was planning on going to walsall for leg 2 of the GUKPT however im due at moss side nick on the 15th for the most pointless thing ever. I won't go into details but the police in this country are a complete joke, and completely ruined our night.

see ya at the tables

Bolton no good

never got going in the main event at bolton. I survived day 1 but day 2 proved to be even more disappointing. I never ever got a hand to play or a situation/spot to double up.

with blinds at 400/800 and 9,500 in chips i decided it was time to make a move.

Praz bansi made it 1800 on the cut-off, the small blind flat called, now in my mind i was planning on pushing with any hand which wasnt total rags. i peered down and saw Th8h and decided this was a good spot to scoop up the pot. Praz bansi thought for a long time before folding, phew i thought ship the pot here, however the small blind pushed his chips in the middle and turned over KK ooooops the flop was A79 and turn T so i had lots of outs on the river but alas a 4 came to demolish the clams comeback hope.

Back tot he online grind this week, may nip to luton later on in the week if i feel like it to play the £500 double chance on thursday, we'll see.

just one my first online mtt of the year, i havent played that many in truth so far and this will change.
Just like to finish with a small mention for james dempsey who did well in finishing 14th odd in bolton, just didnt pick up the hands when he needed them and fell into QQ with 88 on the button. Also good luck to pab in day 2 of the aussie millions, bring back the gold!!

Random Ramblings

Right 2007 so far has been hmmmm average, bout £2.5kup online so far had a few ventures to play cash at napoleans casino sheffield which proved entertaining. On one occasion the little ball landing in 32 made me £350 up for the night on the devil's wheel.

I was planning to go to bolton for the first 3 events £100 rebuy £200 f/o and GUKPT £1000 main event, however due to the fact im a lazy tw@ i got to grosvenor sheffield too late to buy in for the £100 rebuy and without the juice money for the main event, (don't ask) i arrived back tonight with the full amount only to be told that the main event is sold out. I think however i have found a seller so i should be playing.

I shall be descending on bolton tonight at around 6 so if anyone see's me gimme a shout, and buy me a double vk rb.

i had a minor result on stars today after borrowing couple hundred $ off flushy as i blew my previous stars roll. I played the $8 rebuy and got 4/896 for $1750 but at the same time managed to spunk a lump off on chelsea HT/FT @ 8/13 vs wycombe.

Dunno Why the fuck i bother with football bets i am a proven loser.

Been playing most of the mansion 100k events daily at 3:00am and have been really unlucky 3 times losing 75-80% shots grrrrr.

So.... after bolton i might nip down to luton for the grand challenge or i might just slob around at home and play online. i don't like planning too far ahead, thats for people with 9-5's right?

me and a pal of mine are currently looing for an apartment in nottingham so i could be off there soon, obv has nowt to do with the dtd card room opening in april :-)

its 08:38 and my mate is picking me up at 3:00pm to take me to bolton so id better get a couple of hours kip in.
