My wank week continued on saturday after I bubbled on the final table by running JJ into k2 all in pre. Yes that was not a misprint. Basically a nutter who ran like a beast all eve. arrrrgh that wud have been over £1k in live wins had I cashed. O well.
Decided to blow my last 7 dollars on that 2 dollar shootout coming 8/1024 for a colossal $40 and then cashed 3xx out of 3k for another monumental $30, which suprisingly puts me about even for the week. As you can tell it's not the money anymore that annoys me it is the time consuming games that seem to take forever, especially when your trying your best to play as well as you can, something which does not come naturally to me, especially when I see 10 8suited UTG. Anyways made about 60 quid today and will withdraw that for new years eve up in the tooooon at tiger tiger.
That is about it tbh. And any bets on the Juve Chelsea game are also welcome btw :D. See y'all later and have a good neu Jahr. X x x X X

A load of old bollocks.
Just writing in disgust of my week at poker, Run awfully all week spending hours and hours on MTTs to get absolute fucking bullshit at the end. 27th/6000+ plus to get runner runner tripped.
Losing every single bastard race with qq vs AK. Final straw today, $5rebuy, healthy stack, about 100/1000 (4k entered) first prize 9k. Very simple stuff and cant complain (although I am :D) huge stacj on huge stack qq vs AK, obviously rivered. Wish they had the decency to flop a full house and let me come to terms with my bumming a few seconds earlier. Wankers.
Anyways this is a pointless post and just one of them weeks. Not playing for a while. Apart from tomorrow (live). Cunts. ROOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Thursdays are a good day.
Managed to haddock my way to my second live win today, in a £10 2rebuys/addon getting £350 for my efforts which will no doubt help pay for megans present(s)! Once again I ran well but overall I think I played ok. Since I last went the tournament has vastly improved, starting stack 3k with 50/100 blinds for an hour.
Anyways started off shit as usual, entire table limping and me having no cards and chiselling away at my stack. I then got bored and miserable and shoved 74s from the bb after everyone limped for 100 giving me a nice pot. Shortly after I failed to bluff with 2 4 and bummed my stack a bit so rebought and added on after the break.
I then got my first hand of the night a bit later on, and with blinds at 150/300 I moved all in over a raise for about 6k with qq and it held against KJs. Happy times. Fast forward about 4 blind levels and having approximately fuck all, I moved in OTB with A3o for 6BBs (12k) to get called by jj and for me to hit a four card flush. *Hears background noises containing the words lucky bastard*
That put me up there nicely at about 25k, where things started to go better. The bloke who I lucked out on was on tilt, but he still had an obscene stack as did the bloke to my right, not the best seating plan in the world. Eventually it got down to the final table and I did a small dance, mainly because I needed a really bad pee. (The pee was good if anyone wondered)
Right where am I, yes there were 3 people shorter than me and we had another round of 1k/2k. Then it started to get a bit mental all of a sudden. The bloke I outdrew called his entire stack off from an UTG raise with K8s and hit a King sparking abuse from the unlucky lad who had AQ. A bit later I was in the BB with KQo, two limpers, so I decided they were weak and shoved all in for about 20k. Bearing in mind that this was almost half the tilty guys stack, he made a good call nevertheless and showed A9o. I hit a full house *I can here those noises again* and doubled up.
I have to say I did lay some very questionable hands down preflop such as AQ twice to a raise, and in position. I had one of those gut feelings and let them go. I actually think I only called a raise once on the final table and raised/folded the rest. Meh, who cares.
Shortly after there were a few humongous pots with the bigstacks which I couldn't complain about, and we found ourselves with 4 left. This took chuffing ages to decrease, as eventually the guy who died with AQ went out. 3 left woo.
I was then involved in a pot where a donk bet on the river prevailed. 3 left, all limp/check/complete. I am in the SB with 94s and flop a diamond draw on a J86 flop. I check, bb checks and button bets about half. I ponder a bit and pretend to raise but just call. turnx, check check, river x. I then donk 17k into a 30k pot, and he eventually mucks the 6 (he says) Twas a close one. 5 hands later with blinds at 4k/8k he raises 20 into my a8, I come over the top and he made a great great fold with A6, hats off. The other two then went all in for about a 110k pot, then there was only me and a nice Indian bloke.
Only two big pots here, one was where I flopped two pair K4, and he'd flopped two pair 24. *Regretfully the noises have ceased due to loss of voice* Amazingly it didn't go in as we both slowplayed ourselves out of valuetown. We were pretty even at this point with me being a touch ahead, when he limps in with A5s and I shove with 33 (blinds were 5k/10k). He makes the call, flop A1010, turn 3, river.......VICTORY!!!
Twas a good night, and shows I'm not a one trick pony, just a very very large fish who got lucky twice!!!!! :D XXXXXXX

Updaaaaaaaaaaaaaate.
Well it's suuuuure nice to be home. Soon as I got back I had 4 salmons, a rump steak, box of jelly, 4 bananas, 4 banana yoghurts, and beef and pork kidney stew with some blasphemous vegetables and ciabatta. And some prosciutto. It was fit. I have also lost exactly a stone since being at uni, which I think is half muscle half fat to be honest, now being at a shocking 14st 10. My fatal error was not lugging up any weights to Durham.
Right then, because that last paragraph was so utterly boring, lets move on to poker, And this post will be a very long one, so bear with. It has been a mixed last month and a bit, mostly positive though which is nice to report, however some epic tilt sessions have spoiled both profit and graphs :D.
Right I'll get the bad stuff out the way. As I might have mentioned before (Poker soc already know!) I have been grinding the £5 sit n go's on Vill Hill, first grind went well with just under £100 profit, then withdrew due to rent. I did the same again at the time of my last post, which was going well at £95 (started at £5) until I met a fish who was minus 9k beat me twice. I went on mega tilt. The first two games I ran like AIDS, then I played bad in the third one. I then took a 10 min break, returned to find him in a 20quid hu sit n go. Yeeeeas I went in that and ran like AIDS again.
Now then, because I am obsessed with Chaos theory, I think when I'm running like God, and flop a monster or get KK or AA in the hole, bad things happen, and I play them passively (unless it's obviously the nuts!) while when I'm running biblically bad, I look forward to an upswing. So, because I was running so bad, I entered two 50 dollar all in blind first hand HUSGS.................aaaaaaand I got bummed in both. Hahaa what a salmon, I'm never doing that again. So I lost my entire bankroll!!! thankfully I salvaged about 30 of it back playing cash, a most unlikely source of income.
Right, next bad thing. Did that thing where you get $50 free roll off a smaller site such as CD poker, and once you get enough points they release another $100. All you have to do is pass a poker quiz, with questions such as " Which of these hands is strongest..." etc etc etc. The 50 dollars they are giving you is small change due to the rake theyll be taking. I had to get 12,000 points to get my bonus, with 7 points per 5 man sit n go. No thanks. Needless to say played crap and ran crap, donking off the 50 in MTTs and sit n go's.
Yaaaaaay I think I'm out of the bad stuff and onto the good stuff now. Firstly, DUPS champ for the first term!! Ran well and played well (ish), making a fair few final tables, and when I didn't go out early I've somehow managed about a 20 quid haul playing 1p 2p, FINALLY getting to play with hannes in a total haddock fest of min raising and 10 high all ins. Note that this profit was entirely won with the worst hand. All in all the society has given me about 170 quid in prize money which as helped a lot with the food bill (see first paragraph). Online has been going well, especially heads up, and for the first time ever I've cashed out up every time at the 5p/10p home game at pauls. All in all total profit for the first term has been about 350 quid which is nice seeing as I'm a small stakes player, and of course I am not exactly the best player around.
I severely doubt this will continue, but will try and get some scores in live poker back at Gala. Hope everyone has a good xmas. Many lovings from your resident fish. XXX

WANKERS!!!!
Argghhh had a frustrating day today. Played a few MTT's today on Will Hill of all places. I found I had left myself a fiver in there, so decided to have a pop at a few.
Played first one came 3/60
Next one 7/55 (nothing)
Then played some heads up and spun the fiver up to 30 quid.
And then I entered the Friday super series- a £2 buy in with £500 added with just over 4 hundred runners.
Busted just now in an agonising 10/430 getting just under 25 quid for my efforts. Verrrry frustrated!
It was quite a good tourn, starting stack 2500 with 15 min blinds. Grinded it up to 3k and sat there for a while, eventually doubling up a bit later on some random hand. Literally stayed on 8k for about an hour and then I got my break when I got AA and some bloke shoved into me. From then on it was up and down, until I got a nice increase when I CRAI on A high on a board of 10 10 5 5 after villian overbet the pot.
As the blinds increased I got some walks and Kings a few times to resteal without much problem. Eventually my big break came when I called a button raise on j4hh (It was toms hand) I hit top pair and CRAI a blokes cbet who insta shoved on bottom pair and I call. He then abused me a bit in the chat box. After that it was just all your standard shit, except some of the pots were exceeding 200k with blinds at 1.5k/3k, which was a nice situation seeing I was always the medium stack.
Managed to get to the final table, where uber stack called my raise with 88 and hit a set on the turn after I CRAI on middle pair. Very pissed off but at least I've made about 50quid today. I am now going to donk some heads up I think. See y'all later! X
