WSOP blues

As most of my internet msn poker buddies head off to the WSOP this year to enjoy the masses of tournaments for every pocket i am rueing my luck and play at the start of the year, which has postponed my vegas dream for another year.

Looking back on my cold run i feel that it may have only taken a week off poker to turn things around. Im sure i will be joining the likes of Pab, moorman, gregior, flushy, m3boy next year in the quest for a gold bracelet and the title of world champion in one of the many disciplines.

On the home front im still making good progress on my cash game on DTD. By the end of the month my target is £3000 profit, which should put me in good stead to takle the £1/2 games where a £7k + month is not unheard of, especially with the hours i will be putting in.


My cash game has improved ten-fold recently as it needs to in order to pay for the summers activities which include the annual trip to lowlands music festival in amsterdam

www.lowlands.nl pretty sick line up this year.


GL to all in vegas....

Dronfield Bankroll Challenge!!

There is a little poker school down in my local pub on a friday night only four or five of us, all really good mates and im thinking that at £10 per stt times by 3 a night i could make £120 a night Woo hooooooooooo, what i am asking is, because i am completely bust, cant play properly and just hang about with all the pro's and just get my arse on any bandwagon i can find, is if people can bankroll me for this. You can transfer me £2-£5 on crypto by dumping it on a 0.10/.20 nl table as long as no one else is playing or managemnet lurking.

I have no history in these pub stt's but you can probably expect to make £4-£6. Which i will dump straight back on the crypto cash tables. Obv all in preflop to avoid rake, or if u push i may just call you and take your stack!!!.

I may also while at the pub in dronfield, have a few quid in the bandit or partake in a couple of redbulls and vodka.

I feel i can skin these £10 stt's at the pub, and with your generous contributions, because as i have stated i am a bit bust and id rather freeroll with your money, i feel i can make £2-3 an hour in these lucrative games!!!, if any one is interested please leave a comment or leave your bank account number and sort code and ill sort the rest out.

Ill be writing a diary on the challenge, which will be full of BS because ill not play at all, ill just spunk your money on food drink and bandits.
Yours sincerely
rick






on an another note i read a cracking money making plan the other day...

Its Getting better.........man


So... last week on bank holiday monday i woke up easy ish about 9.52am to be precise, legged it downstrairs and just sneaked into the $30 f/o on stars. I managed to get a third in this for $1500 which i was a little disappointed about. After coming 9th in a $650 wsop satt with 6 places two days proir i was up for some compensation, but that was to come later on.




I quicky jumped in the shower and met some mates for a carvery and couple of beers, got back home about 5 ish an had a kip on the settee intent on being prepred for the busy mtt night ahead.




When i awoke about 8:00pm for the $50 50k i realised that Action Jack had put me onto the £.50/£1 ;evel on the trader sceme. (so far that is going well) the tournamnets i played until about 11:00pm alas, were to bing no joy.




I was still in the $50 3k chips at 11:00 when ZZZZZZrope, PaymyLoans11, Gio pinged me on msn asking if i was playing the $162 100k at 2:00am i said it was a bit late for me but im gona play the $100 3k chips in 15 mins, he said hed play and we struck a 10% saver.




about 7 hours later i found myself out in 2nd after 3 of us were involved in a hand.




me 285k


CL 900k


ss 50k




as u can imagine, the ss was on my right so i didnt want to raise incase he passed an the bb put me in with blinds at 20/40k ss didnt have much time.




I flat called a lot on the button incase Ss pushed so we could both call and spitroast ;-)




so i had AK with the chips above on the button so flat called the 40k SS flat called and CL saw a flop of A23 with two spades pretty good!




the shorty pushed and the CL reraised i decided to push and pray the SS didnt win the pot and the CL the sidepot. SS had T5os and the CL had 28spades and hit his spade on the turn.




I never got a chance to play heads up but the $7,100 1st prize was much needed, and ZZZZzrope was happy to be shipped his 10%.




with that roll i had to pay a few peeps off and thought id pay my visa off so not much in roll now, but im level again and got a few $ in stars and touny tickets and T$ so chances to build again.




Ive won seats today for the warm up, stars mill, and sunday 2nd chance so chances of a big score in these.

I reckon im gonna knuckel down on the trader scheme as, even at 50p/£1 £700+ a week is easily attainable, and im gonna give it my best shot.




On friday im doing to lake como for my mates wedding for 4 days should be a brilliant trip really looking forward to it. Rumours are we may see a certain mr weller there as well, we'll have to see.
Gl all tonight, thanks for all the congrats messages they are appreciated.

cheers.
