came across a right donkey last night playing on a shallow £50 table, i wont name and shame him but he was terrible, looking at PT3 now he was playing at 75/12 and was stacking off all over the shop.... after he lost for the umpteenth time he left and I decided to see if he was playing elsewhere, it looked like he was tilting even more as he was sat with £50 on a £100 table....
I made the decision to join and play until he stacked off unfortunetly the following hand happened before i even got to lock horns

not sure if anyone can muster up a fold? it is completely readless but he could have lower pairs and Ah x?
only shining light was that i did get the donks chips so the damage wasnt as bad.

Week 1 Review
I have to say I am mega pleased at the end of the first week, basically i have doubled my bankroll albeit i have since withdrawn a chunk....
Hold'em has been a bit of a wash and i've lost £25 over 900 hands, but Omaha has been my real achievement and ive won £281 in 1422 hands! ok a 3rd of this has been degen shots at higher stakes but even removing say £100 had I not degened then its still a great win rate

19 sessions and all winning ones! i almost had a losing session earlier but i managed to double up and then the villain tilt called with one pair no redraw and my overpair held....
my poker tracker says i'ved raked $125 so adjusting that up for hands played as euro's or pounds i could have a healthy £50-£60 in rakeback on my 55% rakeback deal
good times for poker and just need to stay disciplined, cant afford these £100 degen chases and when i do finally lose ill just need to accept it!

Need Self Exclusion Button!!!
Argghhh got myself into a right little tilt earlier and lost about 70 euro's playing heads up no limit holdem, luckily i was playing within my limits and it was at a .20 euro table, however i then went and chased my losses at a .50/1 euro omaha table and sucked out on a big pot to win exactly the 70 euro's i had lost.
damage averted you would think but im sitting here kind of tilty and keep hovering over the poker client.........really wish i could just self exclude for 12 hours especially as im drinking in a second whilst watching the footie.
on a more positive not though the bankroll is rising as I have won in some other sessions today, bankroll is rising so i should be happy!
heres the suckout btw! terrible stuff really but i play like a complete clown when im tilting

Going well
loving ipoker at the moment, Omaha on the lower stakes are pretty amusing, every table there is at least one person with a VP of 85+ and i've had an amazing start just isolating them. I've won over half of my starting roll and was upto £487 this morning from the £300 start - and all in about 8 hours of play!
i have withdrawn the £87 as i overspent on a new TV (50 inch Bravia plasma) and ill probably restrain from playing over the weekend as busy with the new house move, wife kids and other family - hoping to get a decent rakeback payment of around £30 which is pretty decent considering the hours i've put in and lack of multi tabling.
will aim to update more as i find stopping and blogging makes me look at my hands and evaluate my play.
Cheers

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!!
