Blue SQ can SMD!

So ive played a few sng's on Blue SQ (ipoker skin), every time I get my cards in ahead I seem to lose the hand, I have had pocket Aces, Kings and Queens cracked time after time, I hate that site.

I would post hand histories but unfortunately ipoker sites have the worst hand histories and you basically cant get them in a semi-decent language.

end of rant.

Recent activity

I haven't posted for the whole month of August, damn I need to get off my lazy ass.

I've been playing mostly at LadbrokesPoker, dunno why really I just have been. It's been going badly, my goal is to take down the daily $3 Rebuy $2.5k GTD but havent even made the money as of yet and had some really dissapointing games. Last night from 366 players and 40 places paid I finished in 59th, the only good thing was that I hadn't done a rebuy and completely forgot to do the add-on so I basically got away with just the buy-in. I'M GONNA TID SOON!

Not much else to say really, I'm gonna choose another site to play once I work out which torneys are good for my bankroll and the start time which cater for me then I will basically just play that site and Laddies and thats that.

see ya

Hows it been going?

On sunday i played a session which was 6 torneys in total, 2 were on stars and kept getting rivered by the worst hand so nothing there. The other 4 torneys were on Blue SQ Poker which is on the ipoker network, 3 of them were brutal and got nothing but I did managed to get 30th in the 12.5k GTD which gave me a little profit for the day and I was fairly happy with how I played overall.

I havent played since and probably wont until Thursday, because of my 30th finish I got more ranking points on P5's and now am only 61 points from being the top ranked player in my town so im gonna make a run at it and hopefully get it done by the end of the weekend.

Gonna see my daughter today, she has been away for a week on holiday in rome with my ex-inlaws, i hope she had a nice time and am really looking forward to seeing her as its been two weeks since i last did.

Running Bad. Depressed and Fucked Off.

Dunno whats up at the moment, just cant seem to do anything right or always seem to get outdrawn by the worst hand, its absolutely brutal. I think I may need to look at a few things with my game, I also think I should do what I was always meant to do, which is to stop playing cash games altogether and only play the odd few mtt's but concentrate the majority of my play with sng's.

So from this day forward i'm a sng grinder, will always mix in some mtt's to spice it up abit but sng's is the way to go (or in this case the way not to go broke so quickly).

I think I will start on PS and also on Everest and see how I get on. Wish me good luck as i'm deff gonna need it.

Super Monkey Tilt

The last few days have been very harsh, i've been so card dead its unbelieveable, i've been playing a load on the cryptlogic network which i have done fairly good in the past but for some reason the last four days have been horific.

I have played about twenty tornaments and not been dealt a pocket pair higher than 9's in them and the one time i did get K's I was short stacked with about 980 chips and in the big blind which was 100, a guy utg+1 raises to 450 and everyone else folds, I thought it's a good time to shove so I did, he shows A 10 offsuit, flop come 7 3 J raindow board, turn comes a 9, river comes a 8 and he has the straight to wipe me out of the tornament, what the fuck is going on.

I've tried chasing my losses and had absolutely shit luck so i'm done for acouple days to get my head back in order.

In July i'm gonna press hard to qualify for the WSOPE 2008 on BetFair so watch this space for updates.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

The Good :

So here's a update of my recent activity, on thursday 5th I took down a 10c 360 player sit'n'go and a $1 9 man sit'n'go on poker stars for a combined cash of just over $12 (such high stakes lol), then I fired up william hill and entered a $10 head hunter which had and ended up winning it for $347 which was $225 for first place and $122 in collected heads so was not a bad run.


The Bad & The Ugly :

After sinking a few largers whilst playing in these torneys and then sinking a few more in celebration I chilled out watching TV for a hour or so, then in my slightly pissed condition I decided to fire up william hill and play the cash tables, I went on to $1/$2 with $200 and managed to lose it after getting it up to $280.

After that loss i moved down a few stakes to the 25c/50c tables and lost around $30 before calling it quits, so my $347 is now about $120, I quickly cashed out the rest as I knew if I left it I would just donk it off. Just to make it clear The Bad = playing poker whilst drunk and The Ugly = me shout abscenities at my computer when I lost the money. GG me.


Since then I have managed to play some cash games on Full Tilt and Party which both have produce a little profit, I also played a cash table on Ladbrokes and managed to win 5 times my buy in which I consider to be not too bad.

I've also qualified for the end of month 20k torney on ClubBluff and am in the Pocket Fives freeroll on the 14th June on UltimateBet.

FTP & Bodog MSOP

So I was planning on playing the $10+1 events on both sites, played my first one on FTP last night and finished 279th with 189 places paid and a field of over 1800. I was expecting to play the Bodog version tonight but as a typical euro donk I didnt work out the times properly and it actually was played last night aswell, I didnt play it so my entry just got blinded out. gg me.

I've decided not to play anymore of theses events on Bodog as the start times just aint any good for me.

I've signed up to Bluff Magazines online poker room ClubBluff, it's using UltimateBet software and I like it, i'm really just using it to warm up for torneys and practice abit, if i end up getting some value out of it then thats all the better.

On a personal level i'm picking my daughter up from school today, I always look forward to seeing her but dont look forward to doing some of the stuff she wants to do, she runs rings around me lol.
