Gonna try and post updates throughout tonight on my progress in the tournays listed below on both Party and ipoker. I might unreg from a few as the night goes on depending on how many tarbs i have running/how tilted i get. Please let me win some mad ones, i deserve it :-)

Haha pure comedy in the $30, $6k gtd... First hand i get AA mbn. 3 limpers, one fish makes it 80 and i just jam 1500 lol. fish behind me insta calls allin and everyone folds. Obv he has the mightay snowman and i hold for a full dooob, ez game.

Dooobed in the $20, $4k gtd KK v JJ aipf, its how i roll

Just missed a huge spot to get chips in the $100 with 1010 facing an open jam and insta call. I was ready to call then changed my mine last min. Oppo's had AK and AJ and i would have scooped, bad fold. Doing nothing in the $20r. Currently 4 tarbling.

Doubled in the $100 with AK v 88, made a flush on the river :-)

Doubled in the $20 $4k gtd. 64 (never loses) in the bb vrs a slowplayed AA on a 456 flop. This game is easy! Top 20 in chips with about 100 left.

Sigh, QQ v 1010 in $20rb period. Window 10. reload time

Just made a gd call in the $100. i make it 800 with KQ playing 150/300 on button and sb jams for 3.5k. i have 6.5k. I call he has KJ and i hold.

Chip leader in the $4k gtd with 85 ish left. Just sucked out with AK v KK. Running gd so far.

Unregged from the $10 and $5 rebuys on ipoker. Pointless tourns with redic fields.

Busted the $30 $6k gtd 70/253 got waaaay too short. Struggling in the $20r, approaching bubble in the $100 ut oh, stacked in the other tourn

Busted the $20r losing a race aq v 55. Only 2 tabbing atm. Prob shouldnt really start my sesh until 9 tbh because thats when things get busy.

13/30 in the $100 and 18/63 in the little 20 buck on ipoker

Cashed in the $100, currently 11/20 but its basically one move poker. Be nice to get higher than fkin 6th this time!

HUGE double. 4/16

FINAL 4/10. Let me top 3 and have a freeroll for tonight pls

2/6. One fkin time in my fkin life pls!

Rivered in the little 20 buck for a min cash in 26th.

Currently 4 handed in the $100.

Busted the $55 in redic fashion in a 3 way pot with AA v KQ v AK.

3/3 in the $100 on pp. All pretty even. $1.4k locked :-)

I'm a wimp and dealt HU for $3.15k. Happy days!!!


Currently 8 tarbling. Missed loadsa spots and an add on period whilst shipping the $100 so might stop this blog for a bit and concentrate

Out of the $100 on ipoker in a dirtay spot with AJ v J10 on an A98 bord.

Just decided to unreg from my last 3 tourns the $7r $30f and 100f as i have lost focus. I have 7 tarbles on the go atm.

Just busted the 30r on ipoker and 30f on pp AQ v AA both times. How do the fish find these hands?? The cunt on ipoker slowrolled me hard as well, bastard!

Out of the $50 on ipoker 77>>>88. 4 tarbs left and only 10 bigs in 2 of them :-(

Just busted another AK v AK v 99 near the money. Flop k55 turn 9, dsfwerdfwds. I'm glad i unregged the other mtt's, i just cant sit here for any longer than 6-7hrs max! 3 mtt's left

Just busted the trusty $8r near the money bubble bluffing with 52. Check raised flop, bet turn and blasted the river. Cant these fkin fish fold full houses ffs, doh! About to bust the $30r but have a gd stack in a $27 in ipoker.

Sick how quickly it all changes. Gone from having about 5 bigs on the 30r to 13/60. errrr one time pls :-) Still going well in the little $27 on ipoker.

Sigh, rivered in the $27, 88 v A10 to bust 28th. 16/28 in the 30r on pp.

14/22 in the $30r. top 20 cash.

Made the money, 14/17 thou.

Fkin brutal game. Busted in 11th losing KK v 85 aipf in a big pot to give me a real chance at shipping another tourn then done my last 3 bigs with 75ss v J10 and flopped a str8 flush draw but bricked my billion outs, oh well. In the end i only played 13 mtt's tonight instead of the planned 18 and made a $2.6k profit. Goodnight!

Double Celebration!

I've been thinking about going on a long trip to Australia and New Zealand for a while now but its only just recently that i have got my act together and in the past couple of weeks i've been busy planning and sorting to shit out and today i finally booked it! Myself and Scotch fly out to Melbourne on the 18th Jan where we will be working our way up and around the East Coast. On the 18th March we fly from Sydney to Christchurch and then work our way through New Zealand and fly home from Auckland on the 18th May. I can't fucking wait, super excited!


The other little touch i had today was on the cyber felt. I fired up 6 mtt's a $22f $27f $30r and a $109f on ipoker which i busted just outside the money. I min-cashed a $55f but managed to ship the $8r on Partay for $2.5k, weeeeeeee.

On the downside i think i just blew up my oven because whilst i was deep in three comps i forgot that i had popped in 5 chicken drumsticks for a small late night snack. I've basically incinerated the chicken drummers and now the oven don't seem to work properly, fml. I couldn't write a post without a bad beat story now could i? Time for shut eye, laters fish :-)

Dublin Trip Report

Here's a rundown of what happened this weekend in the Emerald Isle. Firstly i had to pick that fish Cos 'Greekstein' Papertits up from Watford Junction at 2pm on Thursday and then drive up to Notts to meet a few of the lads from the Blonde Forum. That little biatch Cos was 1 hr late after getting on the wrong fookin train and we got to Notts at about 5pm and then met up with Dan 'Kinboshi' Phillips, Matt 'EvilPie' Russell, Stuart 'Stuart Hopkins' Hopkins and some geezer called Ed who actually only lives down the rd from me in Bushy. We flew at 7.30 and Cos managed to shizz off a quick €200 losing four €50 PLO flips versus EvilPie and two other lads from Blonde George2loose and Blatch, gd start m8. The flight was only 30 odd mins and after i manged to lose a 5 way flip for the €25 taxi fare we got to our Hotel at about 9.30. We basically flipped for all taxi fares and food whilst we where out there, soooo balla i know, it was gd fun.
Quick scrub up and we met up at the bar for a few bev's where we where joined by Aaron. Myself and Papertits headed off for some munch at about midnight after sinking a few pints and despite only eating a Burger it cost me €25 after losing the flip, sigh. The prices where reeeediculous in Dublin, its probs the most expensive place i've ever been too, the euro is shiiiiiit atm, its basically £1=€1. Pints where about €7 and the munch was even dearer. Turned in for an earlyish night after food at about 1am because we both didn't wanna feel like an absolute cunts in the tournay the next day.
Woke up pretty late on the Friday and arrived at the Regency just before the start of the tourn obv losing another €20 flip versus Cos for the taxi. The tournament looked really well organised with a decent structure and i took my seat at what turned out to be an ok table with my 10k starting stack, however things didn't go to well for me. I can't remember all the hands now but i do remember bluffing off about 2.5k in the 3rd or 4th level in a button v sb situation where the button raises and i 3 bet with air, he peels i c-bet and he min raises. sadgtrhyrtgew. I dont think he was folding to a jam so i chucked my pile of shizz into the muck. It was probably a big mistake so early in the tourn to be donking off 1/4 of my chips in that fashion and its not really my usual style, doh. Sadly i found myself with 15 bigs in level 5 with 3k but managed to get back to 7.5k when i check called a turn bet and checked called an allin from oppo when i had top pr in the blinds and knew the slut had an airball. After the break i won 3 hands without showdown to get me back to 12k playing 150/300 which i was pretty happy about but then came my exit hand, comments on how i played this hand and how i could have played it differently please....

I have 11.7k at 150/300 and raise to 800 in the hijack with AQcc and the button flats. Flop 972 with two clubs. I decided to check raise which in hindsight was probably a mistake because i had just under 40 bigs. If i had around 25 bigs i would prolly check blast to get as many chips in the pot as poss with FE rather than c betting and having to call a blast but check blasting here seemed a bit extreme given my stack. So i check and the same fish i caught bluffing earlier bet 1.5k and i made it 5k with around 6k back. He tanked for a minute or two then called. I put him on a weak top pair or maybe some funky str8 draw or flush draw which i obv have crushed. The king of diamonds popped on the turn and i stuck my 6k in the middle praying for a fold. The lil coooount reluctantly called showing 109o for top pr and i bricked the river. I fkin hate the way he played his hand but i think i could have played it differently to get him to fold or maybe i should just be firing half pot on flop and repping the king on the turn with another smallish bet or even check raising the turn because it looks stronger?? If he calls both streets i probs give up and still have an ok ish stack. I was gutted about busting quite early in level 6 cause i wanted a deep run, oh well nevermind :-(
Seeing as it was still early doors myself Aaron and Stu got on the juice and sank quite a few pints around town. We had loads of little comedy €5 n €10 bets on stupid stuff like how long it would take each of us to piss and also bet a few quid on a game goin on at the time between Brazil and Ghana like the next corner, throw in etc. I managed to make a few quid on them bets during the night and we where later joined by a few other people like Blatch and EvilPie and ended up going to three strips joints in one night! The first strip joint was an absolute hole, think its the scummiest strippers i've been too not that i've been to a few. The second gaff was much better and i managed to win a 6 way €20 flip for a €100 10 min perforamce for a girl of my choice, weeeeee. The dance werent that great tbh although the lads said i was in there longer than 10 mins. A five min dance was €50 in every place, it just ain't worth it, i'd prefer to just get my knob sucked in Amsterdam or summat for that price. The last established was the usual array of tits and pussy and myself and Stu rolled in about 6am after my 2nd Kebab of the trip, argh.
On the Saturday i woke feeling ok and after listening how Greekstein spewed off his 90k stack playing 800/1600 in epic fashion late on day 1 a few of us headed back to the Regency to play some cash. I was a bit gutted that Cos wasn't still in tbh because i had 10% and it would have been gd fun to rail the fish deep on day 2. In the cash game i sat with Stu and Ed in a €1/2 and tbh i think i dodged a few bullets and ended up breaking even. Again i can't remeber many hands but i won a decent pot when i opened UTG with kq and button flats. Flop kq5 i lead and button flats. Turn is a ten, i check and oppo bets €75 and i blast for 60 odd more and he shows AA and folds!! Its was a gd fold but the donk should have check behind on the turn if he was gonna fold to a check blast or at least bet less than €75. After a couple of hrs a few of us went down the road for a bit of munch as i had only eaten a burger and 2 kebabs since arriving lol. I managed to swevre the 3 way €40 flip for food which Kinboshi got stung for then myself Ed, Dan, Stu and Aaron went out on the juice.
We spent most of the night at some gaff called Buskers and all ended paying €75 for 5 way rounds, fk our lives! It was a really gd night actually and we were all pretty gutted when it shut at 3am. With nowhere else to go apart from strip clubs we went back to the Regency to catch the last 2 hrs of the cash game. I ended up at being sat at a real juicey tarb with some Irish cunt who was abs hammered. He was pissing the whole tarble off and i was just sat there praying for a sitaution where i could stack the cunt and after about 30 mins it came along.. I open with 44 in EP to 7 uri's and my new best mate flats. Flop A94 with two clubs, BINGO! I c bet and he just shoves his whole stack in Hellmuth like style. The turn was the jack of clubs and im like fml i bet the slut had a floosh draw and just made it. However the ace pops its little head on the river like it usually does because everyone who has ever played poker knows theres at least 10 aces in every deck so its only fair i can hit one now and again. So im my head i'm like phew, ship me the monies, fist pump, wheelspin etc etc and then the mother fkin slutpig bastard cunt flips AJ for runner runner back door fkin better full house, lkjlkihyuvcrdxgsdfghjbklljhg gg life! That one stung alittle after an expensive night on the lash.

After waking up quite late in the afternoon on Sunday i was umming and erring about what to bout decided to put in a lengthy ish sesh on the cash tabs but continued to run pretty shiz and ended up doing another €400 so i was stuck about €650 in the cash games and thinking about calling it a day. I almost did call it a night but blew out EvilPie when i almost got a taxi with him and instead borrowed 200 from Cos and sat in a really fun 1/2 with a bunch of Irish fish who where giving a lot of action. This one comedy geezer was raising every pot and he had pos on me so my basic strat was to limp with decent hands and repop the fish when he made his standard raise. I limp with AKdd and matey boy makes it 11 however this other geezer makes it 56 to go and im like ut oh that looks like a middle pr and i know he aint folding but im stuck i might be ahead and i wanna double. I just jam and he calls with 99 and holds ffs. I'd lost quite alot of stupid 50/50 sitautions in the poker like this during the whole weekend and it was costing me. After an hr or so Cos joins me at the same tarb and im down to 80 odd euros and feeling a bit sorry for myself just looking to get it in and either double up or fk off back to the hotel, then a dream hands comes my way...

I limp UTG with 77 looking to jam over the top once matey boy makes it his usually 11 euros. He makes it 11 as per and gets 2 callers and i jam in my €80 and all 3 of them call! Flop comes Kxx 2 hearts and one fish blasts another calls and matey boy actually turns over JJ and folds. The fish have AK and Ax for the nut flush so im dead to 1 card. Turn is the ace and the river is a boootiful black zieben babay quadroople me up 1 time, one outays FTMTW, weeeeeeeeeeeee. A few hands later i found pock bullets and won a nice chunk of change from matey boy and one other fish and eneded up staying there until 5am playing the very last hand of the IPO enjoying the table banter and ended the trip losing €300 instead of €800 so it kinda felt like a win cause i was ready for home time just before the 77 hand.
The Monday was pretty much a chill out day. I tried to play Chinese Poker but quickly realised i was a terrible at it even thou there isnt much skill involved. We all went for food and i managed to swevre the credit card roulette for a 6 way munch bill which would have cost 90 euros, ul Cos :-) After the food we played a lil 9 man 10 euro sit n go with chips that Stu had brought to the bar which Cos won to make his money back and then we just done a few random PLO flips for €5 a pop.
In sum, it was a decent little trip and im glad i went. All the lads where pretty sound its just a shame i didn't run/play better in the poker. I did run pretty gd in the taxi and food flips i guess but i doubt i'll be returning to Dublin soon as its just too fkin expensive. After we landed a few of the lads went to DTD, i was proper knacked thou and decided to drive the fish there and head home. I dont think they where too impressed with my driving skills tbh, i prolly should have warned them that i am the worlds worst driver and to belt up.
Since getting home i've not done too much tbh. Gonna prob start playing poker next week and just gonna spend much of the weekend with the bird. Got a few plans and things happening in the pipeline soon thou, so its all gd. Laters.

Off to Dublin

Off to Dublin on Thursday with a bunch of Blonde fish for 4 days/nights and I'm really looking forward it, weeeeeeeeeee. Driving up to Notts Thur afternoon with Cos aka Greekstein then flying with the rest of the lads from East Midlands Airport at 19.30. Were all gonna be playing the $250 buy in International Poker Tournament on Day 1a on the Friday and then hopefully I'll be back to ship mad dimes on Sunday for Day 2. I'm not that booved about the poker tbh and not actually sure how much i am going to play, any profit will be a huge bonus as its likely to be an expensive trip. There will plenty of cash games going on and also a few $50-200 side events so I'll see how it goes. Looking forward to seeing a bit of Dublin and just a short change of scenery is deffo needed so it should be a wicked crack. Were all staying at this gaff which looks pretty decent and it has it own night club which looks cool.
Not played much poker online at all this month, volume levels have been terrible, might play a small sesh tonight. I've been sorting a few things out recently and its looking really positive for the near future. Shit with the bird is pretty cool atm, my life roll is as high as its been since Feb and a lengthy trip to Australia and New Zealand in January is looking as realistic as it ever has done. The only real shit thing that has happened in the last week is that i have completely fucked my lower back up in the gym today, I'm in abs agony. I feel like an old man atm fingers crossed it will be ok in Dublin. Hopefully more on that Oz and NZ trip when its confirmed in another post but in the meantime my main concern is get to and from Dublin in one piece, please god let me run good just once! Laters :-)

Life Is Gooooooood

It is good ain't it? Even if it is shit its probably good. Life is good, enjoy.

Knocking On The Door

I think i must have played about five maybe six times since my live blogging post and its basically been a series of near misses busting out between 6th-14th in quite a few tourns esp on PP. I've busted 8th and 6th in the fooking $109 $10k gtd, 11th and 8th in the $30rb $10k gtd and 14th in the bloody $109 $12k gtd as well as a string of close calls on ipoker. I did manage a 2nd the other day but that was only in a mini mouse $27 mtt. Furthermore i had that horrible 11th in a $55 $20k gtd when i was 2/11 which still tilts me btw and another 6th in the $109 $12k gtd during that live blogging post. I guess i have been running quite good to get into these positions because its not like i have been playing a redic amount of games when i have been playing but i feel like a $5k+ day is imminent. I'm still making a decent profit though so it's not the end of the world.
Off the cyber felt things have generally been really shit and recently i have been a bit down. I am fucking bored, everyday for the last two weeks has been the same. Wake up at a redic time, play a few tourns, almost ship the lot, knock one out (sometimes two), then go to bed. My relationship with the bird has gone a bit tits up as well recently but the thing is i am not even sure if i am even that bothered? I am bothered, she's great but i am in a kinda limbo state of mind atm, i still dunno whether i am gonna fuck off to Oz and Nz for 6 months or not? I'm probs meeting the bird tomo so the next post might be something like GG Relationships.
In between the last two weeks i actually had a really cracking weekend, last Friday afternoon/night getting ball bagged with my mate Ads in the Empire whilst railing the Caesars Cup. I met up with a few other fish whilst i was there like Greekstein and Dave Allen and it was a good laugh. Pure jokes with me Ad's and Dave railing the £5k PLO event with Howard Lederer HU with a pissed up Ad's screaming out come on Howeee, raise him up Howeeee, C-bet Howeee, aggression Howeee. We were sat at the very front and we got a few strange looks from Mr Howeee himself, lol pure com. Saturday night was good as well in Watford for Scotchniks 30th b'day (old coount). I had one of his work colleagues on my case and if it weren't my bird i prolly would have. I'd never cheat on Kels though, or anyone tbh, i just don't think its nice.
Need to snap out of it this week and get out of this lull I'm currently in. I'm going to Dublin for 4 days in 2 weeks time for a $250 comp and beers galore with a bunch of Blonde fish which is gonna be wicked so until then i need to stop being a cunt, get my head right and ship some mad ones, laters.
