Staked!

i decided against the pokerstars france scheme and im happy to say after a month or so of chats with various people im staked for cash play!

i actually had about 7 or 8 offers and after eliminating the shocking sites (Nordic Bet) i actually struck a good deal which sees me play on ipoker and also at the $50 buyin level.

my stakee is a UK based online cash whizz although i dont know his online handle..... in live events however i can see he has $150k worth of winnings so deffo knows his business

inital deal is 50/50 after 40k hands, i estimate this will take me 2 months

lets hope i get a good start!!

Starting from Square 1

my last post alluded to a plan which was doomed to fail.

i never win at starts for one reason

I am a tilty clown.

after winning about $200 i then lost $230 in one session, $50 grudge heads up matches will do this.

i withdrew all the money as basically i cant afford to lose $500

i have started again with 100 Euro's on Poker stars france under the handle Cheatyfrog (with Thierry Henry handball pic)

i also have 40 euro's on Terminal Poker which is a new rush poker style site.

the aim is to just grind with some elements of bankroll management and see what i can achieve, come decemeber i probably will withdraw a bit for the holiday but there is no real pressure to achieve

Cheers

I'm Back

Very quick post to say im back playing, will go into more detail about what has been happening in a later but the current situation is this..

i have $500 on stars, by the time of my holiday in December i want $1000!!

money will be withdrawn as extra spending money

go a progress bar on the side, it should be easy enough but i have never been a winner on stars and struggle with motivation.

4 months - $500 should need to win $4 a day - very achieveable lol

aim is to be back blogging every day, i need to cover staking, my current game of choice and a few others!

cheers
daly

Win

Still playing barely maybe 3 times in 3 weeks, this is on my "staked account"



my share of winnings is going straight into holiday fund and i have $0 on any site

damn

Selling Myself

Right so the whole $300 starting again is not working..............in over a week i've played 3 sessions. 1 proper session at 5c/10c and 2 slight degen sessions at 25c/50c PLO and NLH. I lost about $100 in total an have decided to stop the stake and look for something a bit bigger.........ideally i want to be playing 25c/50c with a decent bankroll so i can 24 table and really grind so im gonna look around and sell myself as follows......



My name is Adam Daly (ebouesnan on Full Tilt and the_shocker7 on Stars) and i've been playing poker for a few years.....in the last couple of years i have been taking it a bit more seriously, after experimenting with the various games I found NLH Full Ring to be my best game before I then found Rush Poker

ive lost all my pre 2011 poker data as my laptop died but historically I was beating rush for about 1-2bb/100 at 10c/25c level for many months obviously this is not amazing but I was winning and with rakeback was withdrawing about $300 a month into my account to help with bills . In Feb this year I brought a new laptop and also found a thread by Verneer on moving up through the stakes at rush...i signed up to cardrunners and watched a few video's and everything seemed to click



i have also played a tiny bit over the years on stars.........i think basically very small wins over my decent games of full ring and losses at other attempts

recently i have lost a couple of hundred trying to force my way back into action following Full Tilts demise

http://www.pokertableratings.com/stars-player-search/The_Shocker7

I'm looking for a decent stake for full ring, preferably at 25c/50c and I need the stake to be deep enough for me to multitable upto as much as 24 tables, I am very passionate about poker and want to be back playing, i'm hoping a stake with quality feedback will focus me and i can get back to how i was playing earlier this year.

Volume wise depends on the site i play on, i think i can probably spare about 30 hours a month, obviously if this is on stars i could be 24 tabling and playing 1k+ hands an hour but on other sites particularly ipoker i dont think i can play as many tables..

i have just opened a Skype account with the name adamdaly7, i am open to opening MSN etc if needed, i dont really use these normally but appreciate some kind of e-communication system will be needed!

as for references im very active in the staking section as a backer and ive also been backed in around 10 one day mtt packages as well as a longer term 100 game package for Volmond

thanks for reading and i hope to hear from you soon

Daly

Back to Square 1

Right after the not very surprising but very frustrating news that the FTP hearing has been postponed until as late as 15th of September I have decided enough is enough!!

I’ve rarely played in a month and when I have I’ve been doing MTT sessions and losing, so basically in my head the Full Tilt money is gone and im starting from the beginning – I have a $300 roll (staked)and im going to grind full ring cash with only occasional mtt nights.

Bankroll management is back so ill be playing prob $12.50 buyins at 25c nlh and max 16 tabling, I need to hit the ground running and know turning back!!

Will stop and re-evaluate at $1k

Wish me luck

Daly

I want Full Tilt back!!

gettin really bored with this stake on mtts want to be back playing cash asap

the stake has been near 2 weeks and will end tomorrow, at the moment im down about $170......

figs updated on the side for the month/year

i'm looking into a new stake which will be cash + mtts but ideally just want my full tilt roll back

shit post sorry

Daly

Stake Update

so im doing this stake on two plus two, 100 games of $11 and below buyin and 4 days in ive done 30 games...

and im down $18 FML!!



played 9 hours today but couldnt get nothing amazing going... the best shot was reaching the final table of a $4.50 180 manner 2/9 but i epicly blew it and came 8th

ive snapped twice as well, im getting used to the beats but today i had back to back beats close to the bubble of a $3 rebuy AA losing to QQ all in pre and then KK losing a 3 way all in to KJ and Q9 the KJ 4 flushing me.

ill leave you with the biggest disappointment thus far... my best cash so far but what happens if this fucker holds and i got top 20 with 200 left?

LOL Donkaments indeed

Changes

Wowsers so much has gone on since the last proper post……..

Easily the main happening has been Full Tilt having their licence taken away meaning that all users cannot even log into Full Tilt, let alone play, transfer or withdraw. Initially I was panicking as you could easily envisage Tilt going bankrupt but as the days go on more info is leaked and the current situation is that an investor is looking at buying into Tilt which firstly would allow them to get up and running again and eventually pay back the Americans who have bee without fund for a shocking 3 months…

So with this is mind I haven’t really been able to play any real poker, I signed upto a deal with Mansion Poker where I got a $100 instant cash bonus which means I have a bit of a roll to play with but ipoker is pretty shocking for someone who likes to mass multitable so its just sitting there at the moment – but of course me winning a $1000 on there casino (see previous post) means im not even bothered if I donk that off.

With the lack of ability to play poker then I had an interesting proposal from a geezer on two plus two, I sought advice from the raise the river forum and using what they suggested have come up with the following proposal –

The bloke will back me for 100 MTT’s with a max buyin of $11, he will pay 100% of costs and in return will get 70% of any profit.

Pretty much a no brainer for me, it enables me to play the usual MTT’s I play and at no risk, im due to start this tonight and hopefully will get off to a flying start.

Figs updated on the side, I have a won a little bit in MTT’s with binking a $5 freezeout on my paddy power stake… unfortunately it was Saturday morning so not many runners and only $102 for the win.

Catch ya later

GLADIATOR

lol my reliance on my full tilt roll is less



oh and another blatant use of blogger for an image dump

Degen Discipline!!

damn i got on my pokers drunk, lost $70 at headsup Omaha and then $80 chasing it at $100 Rush Omaha

got myself some water and grew and a set and turned that shit upside down



lol 45 mins for 128 hands that aint right - i must suck at single tabling

will deffo update stats tomorrow, maybe add a holiday fund thing

cheers

Dream Holiday Challenge!

Just spoken to my parents and they’ve come up with an unbelievable offer, if we can find £2k they will pay the rest and take my family away with them and my sister and nephew for a dream holiday over xmas to Singapore and Malaysia! (i was born in Singapore)

singapore -



Now obviously poker has been going well but 80% of my winnings gets funnelled into our normal day to day bank account as the cost of living is redic at the moment, however my mrs has agreed to get a part time job which will then hopefully mean that most of my winnings from today onwards can go into our holiday fund!!

I think this is definitely achievable I’m at like $2.6k profit for the 3 month period since this blog started but will now need to focus and grind this shit out!

The winning formular – no tilting/drinking + lots of hands + pray to poker gods for no downswing = Dream Holiday?


Ive withdrawn £120 this week so this is straight in their and the countdown begins!


Cheers

9 Tabling Rush

as an experiment to see how quick I could get to 100 points as part of rush week.... it took 17 minutes and 550 hands playing 4 times 50c 4 times 25c and 1 times $1 full ring tables...........it was a pain in the arse! i timed out a few times and even more annoying was that the hud boxes kept getting in my way as they remained the same size but the tables were a lot smaller.

also i couldnt play my normal game and went from a normal 14/9 to a nitzilla style 10/8..........

as for profit i lost $7 so nothing to cry about... however i lost a redic all in pot when someone turns a gutshot and donks his chips in.

Tougher Month

jesus this month is a lot harder then last month, so far only got $137 profit and that is literally as i just came second in a tourney on my stake for $270 (ill have to send back half)i wont mention how i had the villain all in with 10's vs his ducks only for him to have a quacking river...






Broke even on my last mtt night, too deep runs in double deuce and msop but not deep enough, getting returns of $60 a pop and not the $500+ i was hoping for

As for cash im down $50 but only played 6kish hands...........also ive been hitting $100 $200 and even $400 rush, my discipline is shot to pieces, luckily there is a rush promo next week which will hopefully give me a reason to grind.

not actually playing any more tonight, need a break, and a damn beer.

catch ya later

No Limit Draw

and the 1st hand i ever get is a pat hand




i check raised to $7 or $8 pre and then shoved after the draw..........

villain folded lol

shit game

Another Stake

this sunday



graph covering riverbed NL



will link the thread when its up

Black Sunday

Sick night last night, did my mtt package and it was looking ok to start with but I don’t think I won a flip in the second half of the night. lost with AQ to AJ all in preflop in the double deuce which gave me the only cash of the night

Not gonna moan too much about the beats but probably the sickest was in the $3 rebuy I shove over some donk initial raise with 99 and he calls with AJ, the pot is huge and puts whoever wins in the top 20 albeit with around 2000 left. He rivers a flush. So sick who calls off a million bbs with AJ!!!

Anyway the night got worse when I started playing $100 rush alongside the $3 rebuy which at that point was my last game…. I quickly found myself $100 down when I lost to huge flips, however I dug in and manage to get myself even and then up a small amount and quit.

However once I busted the $3 rebuy I fired up two tables and donked off $270 before I managed to tear my stupid tilted monkey ass to bed. So disgusted with my self, I can moan as much as I want about running bad but I should not of been on there at all

June Goals and Sunday Package

so after a great May its tough to set the bar for June!

i think im gonna settle for

* 20k hands at $50 Rush Poker
* 5 final Tables in MTTs

and thats it! no money figures although i reckon i'd be happy with $600, off to a good start last night where i was about +$80

so as sunday approaches im looking at another package as follows -



looking to sell about 60-70% let me know if you want a piece!!

Cheers

May Review

great great month, will break it down by game type

No Limit Cash - $1003

crazy crazy month, actually managed to get to just over $1k profit albeit with a degen session where i chased a $100 loss at $400 rush and sucked out with A4 to AQ for a $400 pot...(that should explain the spike in this graph!)



not to pleased with the amount of hands, think i can do much better!!

Omaha Cash - $133

its a miracle that i actually won money at Omaha, don't really plan on playing much its just a useful variant when my brain wants a change of pace



Tourneys - $242

one of my most pleasing aspects of may has been the return to mtt play, mainly through some selling of shares on two plus two, two decent scores this month but also several last 30 finishes, need to improve and get a four figure return though

Bonuses/Rakeback - $204

pretty good as i was still clearing the random bonus from tilt plus i cashed in a load of points for tournament tickets, certainly a higher than usual month!

staking - ($55)

i need to cut back on this, its says minus $55 but its probabaly nearer to minus $200 as it takes into account money i've received on stakes as well

so all in all great month over $1500!!

will work out some June goals shortly!

a decent package

managed to nearly make a profit last night, returns of $102 from the $108 buyins..

$1 rebuy 121st for $41.73 + 5 unused bullets $5.50
$3.30 rebuy 7 unused bullets $23.10
$20k turbo 617th for $9.33
Storm 2977th for $14.50
$26 KO two Ko's for $8

total - $102.13

also cashed in the daily dollar and a $1.5k guarantee, i thought i was gonna final table that but ended busting 30/780 when AQ cant beat A8 for a top 5 pot..

sigh might finish my month early as nearly at $1500 profit and qualifed for silver iron man, have played loads this month which as long as the mrs doesnt get upset then im happy, buying her fridge freezers seems to work :-)

Sunday Package 29th May

another package up on 2 plus 2

60% available, ship to ebouesnan on FTP or the_shocker7 on Stars



graph to back up some kind of competence at the poker




with a 2nd out of 970 runners and 1st out of 3996 runners this week i think it might be a decent day coming!

Lol BINK!

nearly 4000 runners and i come top of the pile.....should be rich now?

LOL no it was a 20fpp game



still good tourney practice and am i on a roll?

Lol gonna get a can and chill

night all

YES YES YES!

what ive been waiting for

so close to the bink as lost AJ to 99 for wan mirrion chippaments



means ive cleared $1k for the month as well - really stoked hopefully this sets me up for some bigger achievements!

Update

just to quickly update... my second tourney package was even worse then the 1st - no cashes in the 7 games, closest i came was a few hundred of the money in the big $11, lot of worked needed i think!!

also same night i came 5 off the money in the daily dollar when i lost a 60bb pot on the bubble with QQ getting rivered by AK, i also final table bubbled a $1 rush on demand when again QQ lost to A10 for a top 3 stack, i got like $5 instead of the $100 plus for a decent top 3 finish.

cash has been going ok, slowed down a bit but still had some $20-$30 days when i have played

need to get motivated to play out rest of the week, stats are looking good for the month already though so may use that as an excuse to do other things!

New Staking Package for Sunday

decided to do another package for Sunday, a lot less tourneys and cut the microstakes stuff and concentrated on the real big field big prize stuff



45% available

as i have no tourney record to speak of im trying to entice people with my graph since March 18th, not a great sample size but hey what can i do!



stats updated on the side, huge month for me thus far, ill leave you with this hand which had me in stitches - games are not dead!

Staking and $100nl Fun

think i may have to lay of the staking for a while, it has taken a downturn and its just bleeding me money, the stats on the side may say im up but this is only due to me getting money for stakes which ive recorded here.

the real stats are as follows

14 Stakes, 2 profitable packages and 12 losers for a total of $80 down!!

i also somehow have got myself in a situation with $118 out in present stakes and looking at the threads they aren't gonna return a lot!!

still sick thing is i cant help doing them... keep thinking someones gonna bink an ftops or scoop

last night was a touch tho, i went on a little drunk and decided to give myself a $50 shot at $100 Rush, managed to hit some nice hands, bit lucky in some but ah well - $130 up for the session and the months graph is looking tasty

still contemplating how much i need to move over to stars, i think $250 is too high so will probably do it at $100..

update figures tonight hopefully to reflect last nights play

Tourney Fail

My first go at tournament staking was an epic fail, managed to build up some stacks early and was in a good rythmn but it all went to pot at around 8pm when an extra 5 tables popped up and I totally lost track of what was happening….

Multi-tabling tournaments are so much harder then cash as basically the dynamics in a tournament are never the same whereas cash the blinds are always 50c and I always have 50bb’s (yes I suck)

The total return for $145 in buyins was $10.85 for one cash in the $1 rebuy plus the unused rebuys I claimed for!

Last night I actually did 4 cheap tourneys whilst having a drink and watching tv – total buyins $14 – total returns $23!!

I came 500ish/6000ish in the $20k turbo and very annoyingly 17th/1100 for $15…. Exit hand was AQ losing to 99 for a top 3 stack with 1st prize at $800ish

Ah well ill keep plugging away at these!

Also made a decision to move some of my roll back to stars so I can play there mtts…. Ive decided that as I only play 4 tables of rush I can live with 30 buyins so $750 and ill move $250 to stars for mtts and occasional bum hunting at headsup…. At the moment bankroll is around $950ish as hit a little downswing so will move probably on Friday when I get rakeback payment….

Not playing tonight as having a kickabout with my work 6-a-side team… will probably be a slow week as got anniversary on Monday and have a few things lined up.

Catch ya later

Tough But Rewarding Session

had a real good session last night with loads of positives to take, it was never really a great winning session, twice during a 1500 hand stretch i was down near $100 but i never tilted and just tried to play through making good decisions....


I took a break to watch apprentice with the mrs then played a short cash session of heads up, Omaha and 6 max, the variety was good and i managed to win the days profit when some donk tried bluffing me when i held trip jacks...i then cashed in a $4 rush on demand but didnt make the final table when my AK lost to 99 (flop 955) i then did the kitchen sink which was crazy and i didnt cash aprt from some 50 cent bounties...

heres some hands from the day........

Good -

i obviously dont think im ahead but reckon a check raise looks strong... i bottled the bet on the turn but was willing to call a river bet as i thought he had two spade face cards...turns out he had ducks!

Crushing End to run

yuck, my first long session in ages and a big loss.... $150 bit annoying, i ran pretty bad and definitely should of quit sooner



however a good thing for me to do is analyse the big hands, 3 won, 8 lost - easy to see why the session was so bad....

the 8 hands...

JJ 3bet pre in position, flop all low all hearts...i bet $10 in $13 pot with $15 behind.... turn a non heart king, villain sets me in....hard to fold but i have to be beat - villain obviously had AK with one heart - BAD

75hh call a 3bet in position, flop gives me flush draw and i shove over raiser who has AA and holds - VERY BAD

JJ call raise pre, flop is K10x but i call flop and turn, villain over shoves river and i call with only only my JJ and villain has a KK set - BAD

AK losing to AK four flushing me, were both all in preflop - UNLUCKY

99 losing to AK all in preflop (rivered king hurts) - OK

set of tens losing to set of jacks - OK

99 hits a straight on the turn, board pairs on river for villain to boat up - UNLUCKY

and lastly this hand is disgusting.... talk about flop good, calling 3bet with 23 and hitting that!!

Sunday Update

still going great at the mo, still haven't had a losing session and its now 22 wins in a row! it was looking like a losing session a minute ago but i hit a lovely set up which ill post at the end which turned it round!

figs have been updated on the side, im nearly at $1k for the blog, which would be achieved already but i have loads of stakes on at the mo, a lot of them are for multiple SCOOP or Mini FTOPS so they wont be resolved for a while, im hoping for one decent bink from the following geezers



GoGoGo Geezers!!

anyways of to a farm again with the kids....and then a Sunday Carvery followed by Arsenal battling those inbred Stoke clowns....i think i want United to do chelsea but whatever just annoying that Arsenal arent there..

anyways heres that hand

New Favourite Hand

Daly

getting old

damn i went out to watch Arsenal finally win a game yesterday, good result but i have to question the fact that om totally past it... i went out at 1pm had 3 pints then headed into the wonderful town of Worthing to watch the game had about 3 more pints a KFC and even a winning bet of £20 at 10/11 for Man City i decided to go home at about 6pm, so a five hour session with 6 pints....why the fuck did i wake up at 3am puking my guts out is really a mystery, and thats after i passed out at bout 7pm annoying the wife!!

playing footie next week in a works do, think im gonna show myself up, people remember me from 2002 when i could actually run...

poker going well - figs updated on the side, i actually have about 12 winning sessions in a row which is a good sign, $200 withdrawn in 2 days is also nice!

finally check out this blog post from Kevin Stephens, great to see a top top result like this - and the journey is only half way done!

all the best to him and anyone else who reads this blog!

Good Finish to the Move

i've hit a real heater last few days at rush, im finding patience is key as people hand you stacks and you dont have to fight for every pot... ive had people shove A8 into my AA preflop and calling off stacks with 78 on an 8 high flop in 4bet pots - so funny!

staking is going well im about $8 down but have $80 in active stakes and im confident of profits in all of them!

mrs is working tonight so im planning a good 3-4 hour session on the cash tables, ive been put of mtts recently due to the retardation of players you face, i hate playing 3-4 hours to min cash cos someones ace rag beats your queens etc.


ill leave with this fun hand, i was thinking how can i get paid off with my quads....easy to slowplay quads i guess so funny that he calls with ace high on the end!

Monday Update

Had a bit of a terrible day yesterday, dropped about $80 mainly at Rush NLH, reviewing the hands there was a lot of bad luck e.g. ak losing on an AKJ flop to AA and 10s10d losing on an a low all diamond flop to AdQc…

However looking at through the hands there are 2 I want to review, the first one im not sure about

so off course the you may say why are you coming in on a raised pot with Q8 which of course Is a fair comment but of course the decision here is should I get the shortie all in with top pair, shit kicker and flush draw on the flop?

Secondly I know this is terrible, for a start I have a double stack (by my halfstacking standards!) but the thing is I seemed to be convinced that the shortie could have an thing from a small pair upwards and then I got it into my head that the other guy was just squeezing – just a total mess, im very surprised that AA or KK didn’t show up so I wasn’t in awful shape but as usual when I have AK and the villain has QQ the Q always flops!!.

Made a bit on staking and had a mate transfer me £20 he owed over Full Tilt so this is shown in figures…. Need to grind loads this week and try and get some of this bonus cleared!

Staking

so ive been doing a load of staking recently, by going to the thread on 2+2 there are various players offering cuts of there tournament play.

i've been a small winner so far, you'll see from my stats that im a mighty $3 down but i have paid for 3 active stakes so far over over $60 so its been going well,im going to keep a track of my stakes from now on and the 3 active ones are -



in fact i have just checked and the Snaffler has double my investment so im up in staking and back over $1k in the bankroll!!

happy days and happy easter, looking forward to giving my girls there egss in a bit

catch ya later

Full Tilt Bonus

lovely surprise when i logged into my full tilt account, yesterday, a $400 bonus!!!

what makes it even funnier is that some people have been given only $20 - not sure why i qualify for more? maybe as i withdrew all my money?

its good motivation for me to grind now, i have around $870 in the roll but also about $50 tied up in various stakes...

will deffo start updating this blog more, i need to post details of my stakes, hands from the tables and what ever bollocks comes to mind

catch ya later
Daly

Update

Following what everyone is calling “Black Friday” I withdrew my whole bankroll from Full Tilt in case it wasn’t safe, however the message from them is that as long as you are not from good old USA you are safe so I will be re-depositing tonight!

I cant make Iron Man this month so im just gonna dip my toes in the water and play what I feel like, I will continue with the staking through 2p2 and generally take it easy..

Next month ill have to try and get back to grinding, my figures so far aren’t too bad, I know I can beat microstakes so I just need to play at the right times and not be a tilt monkey.

And for the record I should not be playing when

Im Drunk
Im Tired
Baby is Awake
Im Tilting - especially MTTs (take a break after a beat) as I just start random shoving

Need to update this blog more as well and get more active on commenting on the millions of blogs I follow!

R.I.P Online Poker

the US government have shut down Full Tilt, PokerStars and UB for money laundering and other charges......a lot of people are saying withdraw money before it is seized!!

im not sure what to do but will no doubt be following closely!!

Tourney Night!!

gonna play some tourneys tonight, mrs is working and there is no booze in the house - so i have all the ingredients to bink

the schedule is

Ipoker

7:00pm - $30 - $6k Guaranteed
8:10pm - $5 - $4k Guaranteed

Full Tilt

7:57 - 3 by 3 at 3 - 3 x $3 entries $3k Guaranteed
7:20 -$2 6 max (no guaranteed)
7:35 $2 Rush Rebuy - $18k guaranteed
8:15 Daily Dollar - $1 rebuy ($10k guaranteed)

so thats 8 tourneys probably leave it at that and may add more!!

will update later!

Out of Action

Exactly a week ago my internet died to finally kill off my rather sporadic poker play since my tilt meltdown mid way through last month… however after a weeks break I think im ready to start playing again and looking forward to getting on it!!

A nice bonus as well has happened as ive got £400 spare of which im going to deposit $250 into my bankroll….this would make my starting point for the riverbed diaries at $750…

Bankroll is about $830 or so which isn’t far from my happy home of having a $1k bankroll and mass multitabling $25 or $50nl shortstacked…for this reason ive re-deposited the whole roll back onto Full Tilt – hopefully im mature enough to not head to $400 rush after a couple of bad beats…

Night off tonight but will play a cash session In the morning and some mtts in the evening tomorrow

Hope I can run good!

Daly.

My interest in poker has been on a real downswing…Sunday I was buzzing for the big $200k tourney, an hour in I find my self with aces… I 3bet pre, the flop comes JJ9…. I bet pot villain calls…..the villain is playing tight 11/3 and he’s out of position so I don’t think he has a jack…turn is a blank I bet and he shoves….. can he really have a jack? The pot is so big and would put me in top 6 albeit with hours yet to play… I call and of course he has jack 10…. A great example of why HUDS aren’t always the answer…….

At the same time im also playing a $20 mtt with 300ish runners, top 30 pay….. 80 left and im about 15th….. I raise in lateish position with K9 suited get min re-reraised by chip leader…. Now I know it’s a bit fishy but I call and get a 956 flop… I really think im ahead so I check raise all in…. the villain calls for a chiplead pot ($1.2k up top) with 75, Turn 5 river 7.

Monday I enter the second chance free-roll, $5k with 250 runners but about half sitting out as you get automatically registered in, im pretty confident of a deep run and well up for it – second hand im big blind with 75 flop comes 689 – Bing Bam Boom im all in – oh right yeah he limped in early position with 10 7 off suit - Well Played Big Man.

Apart from that I played 1 hand of Rush Poker, squeezing AK into AA at FML $25 buyin and not my usual $12.50…. I lost $7 on a stake which was pretty unlucky as he had 2 top 20 finishes In some of the Sunday Majors (I had a 1% stake for $35 lol) and also we resurrected our lunchtime poker school after a 4 month absence and I lost heavily but we wont settle up for at least a month and a few more games…

Last night however was a real shining light…. Had a few drinks and with only about $40 online at the time after a few transfers for staking etc I decided to hit $10 rush Omaha… I lost $15 won it back and decided Fuck it lets play ball…I took my $40 stack to $100 rush Omaha and after not many hands I quit nearly a $100 up 



Not really gonna play too much until April, probably going to redeposit all my roll online as offline it is in risk of being gobbled up by household stuff, I’d rather keep it safe online and withdraw if necessary .. also another reason is I may go back to full ring multi tabling as rush does my tits in sometimes!

Lol catch ya later.
