Worst month to date!

Well well! My comeback has been quite a faliure thus far. That $160 went down quite quickly! I have been playing $6 sit n gos and below, and the results have been quite disturbing. I have put a good amount of volume in over these last few weeks for a very steady loss. I put this down to partly rust, lack of rythm, more tilt, and less patience, which all together is a pretty lethal cocktail of bummage. I am currently trying to nail the reasonably new 3.30 rebuy 180 man turbos, as the field seems quite weak and 1st is around $550, which isnt bad at all.

As there is nothing positive to mention pokerwise, I'll move onto my new accomodation and city! I have been in modena for a week now, and it is an incredibly beautiful city, lovely architecture, churches, and monuments with latin inscriptions, and of course museums. This of course doesn't interest me at all, but I wanted to sound like a cultured student all the same. I am once again sharing a room, this time with a spaniard called Guillermo Chica, which is an infinitely cool name.

As for the accomodation itself- the following is an extract taken from facebook and the first message sent to Tom Lassey but 3 days in.

"Fuck me i only just set up my internet at modena. There are a CUNT load of spaniards so I will be speaking decent spanish too when I get back! Modena is great, next door to a great food place where it's dirt cheap for students. Our toilet is shit. When you flush the fucker it spurts up and over the edge so if you've just been for a shit it regurgitates it back up your arse in a more liquid form and then some goes on the floor"

And that folks.....is the ugly truth! See you soon guys X

I hath returned!!

Hello again, time for another kick start, its good to be back! After my last post I sort of got fed up with online poker. Whilst still cashing out approximately $150 profit, it was the endless run of pteveyesque going deep and then getting bummed which became disheartening, and along with exams I had no real time to play.

Then came another 9 weeks of envelopes, which was much better than last year.....seeing as the polish bitch staff seargent had been fired, which meant it became more relaxing and we had chance to muck around stapling each other, and using industrial strength glue to stick each other to tables when we weren't watching. This time I earnt a bit more, circa £2.8k, which for the first time in a while put me in a confortable position. During the summer I went back to the casino a few times, and failed to register any tournament success, so I moved onto live cash (50/1) which proved to be a reasonable alternative. The players there were megafish, and a few dickheads, me of course being among them! I went 3 times and came out with a Poker profit of just over a buyin, quite dissapointing judging by the quality of the opposition. One hand which springs to mind was a 120 quid pot, after the table limps and I raise to a tenner with QQ, 3 callers. Flop comes KQx two diamonds and of course someone is holding 85dd which hits, but that was about as bad as it got. Please also note the added word 'Poker' profit, this does not include belling
20 quid on 22 playing roulette.

So last week I arrived in Italy, and its so good to be back to see the family, and the food is just orgasmic unlike the weather at the moment. Playing plenty volleyball- its massive over here and just chilling at my cousins before I head off to Modena. I've redeposited $160 into stars for another crack at sit n go grinding. Hopefully I won't have to withdraw. Anyway it's good to be back, and I am glad everyone is doing well.

Congrats to Hannes for his engagement, and for the record.........I'd fucking eat all those chicken wings. XXXXXXX

This Blog IS still alive!

Well bugger me. it has been a very long time. This has mainly been because of, until 2 weeks ago not playing poker since the start of March. This is quite a shame actually as my over exitedness at returning to the game has given me stats of 0/269/angry face. Having said that, I have been picking some good spots 3 betting and picking up some pots I wouldn't have before.

Cash games over at the house with the greatest tap in the world have been crazy. 1st one, in for £70, out £80, and the second one I donked off £40 in a bout 17 minutes. First society back I came an undeserved 3rd (as usual), but all in all I'm still up just under £1k since the start of the year which Isn't too bad. Thats all the poker news.

Life news has been less good, as we lost our homes in the earthquake in Italy. The person that I am, I tend not to bother too much about tsunamis and famine elsewhere, but it actually feels wierd when it happens to you. But anyroad, nobody died, and houses can be rebuilt. Other life news includes getting a place at Modena University next year, practically next door to an Aikido dojo, with training on 5 times a week. So that should be FIT, although clearly not as fit as that German bastard in Gibraltar!

I have also been grumpy of late when it comes to football, as Juventus are playing like total shit, Ranieri is going to get sacked, Buffon might get sold to Milan, and Kessies girlfriend is coming up in about 3 hours, so suicide is an acceptable option. I will entrust this blog to Tom, who has found his poker brain at last and is making more money than an Albanian pimp. Right, I am rambling now, and good luck wiht the exams.

Bit of a catch up.

Amazingly, the following post will contain at least a sentence of Poker news and not all drunken stupidity. (but there is some of that too)

Right first things first, a few weeks ago I went to my friends funeral down in West Sussex, the guy from Durham who fell off Mont Blanc. Without getting too sentimental, he really was such a top man and I will miss him. Also, it's such a nice place down there- 1 pub, 1pond, 1 church, 1 shop, a proper old English village.

Moving on to drinking feats, I probably smashed some sort of stupidity record with 18 jaegerbombs (+ pre lash) something which I will not be doing again as I actually want to live. I wasn't sick and I didn't pass out which was a miracle. That night was the night when that mini me bloke from Austin Powers came and me and Tom had our picture taken with him. He did look scared to be fair as there was James Blunt to his rght and some ugly fat polish cunt to his left. But the star of the show that night was Gambon. Him and Bob came out and we all got smashed, with Gambon tearing up some shapes on the dance floor. Twas a beastly night.

Right Poker time, I'm having to start playing properly (i.e. in a profitable way- my volume has always and will most likely always be poor) to pay for rent like last term. Ideally I would love to keep a roll but at the mo it just isn't possible. I put in another $10 (there was already like $7 in) about 2 weeks ago after I withdrew 70 to pay for the trip to the funeral, and I've started playing $5/$10 double or nothings on PStars. Normally I wouldn't go near these as the rake on places such as Party is obscene at something like $5+1 whereas stars is just 20c. Secondly, it doesn't tilt me as much as heads up, although it can get bollock-shatteringly boring.
I've been grinding some of those, though I wish sharkscope would show it but I've been on other peoples accounts as our internet connection is nothing short of tragic. :D Also made a small profit at 25c/50c 1 tabling with tracker and engaging my brain to full, with no distractions. Thus far I have been playing well and running normally but I will not mke this a regular thing as I don't even have 4 BI for it. Roll is at $160 which is some sort of reasonable %age increase in 2 weeks.

Elsewhere Tom has finally made the transit from donking off money to develop his reads (You can tell I taught him!) to now making comfortable folds and killing 5c/10c. He's had a nice upswing of about £150 in the last week or so, which is about time so I am very happy for him.
Right thats all from me, cherish this newly sober blog.

LOLLLLLLLLLLL

Yeeeeeas obviously I'm drunk again. Might aswell update mein blög. Erm last month played literally fuck all. I deposited a colossal $10 into stars because I was bored then I span it up to 100 playing 23/50 and running like a beast. thats about it poker wise. For the first time I ended down this year in Pauls Pöker cash spiel by donking off 30 squid in approximately 3 hands. First was le bummage mit QQ to Isaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacs AK AI pre. then I fished for actually no reason with 99 and A 10 knowiing full well I was behind :D..... haaaaaaaaa i got bummed. Many Peni.... is that actually plural? Oh yeas and the last hand I tilted and shoved 7 2 all in pre then got called by Isaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacs QQ and the cunt outdrew me. What are the chances?

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa more news some cunt started on me again!!!!!!!! Should I begin to enjoy this!? He eventually ran off after his very surrey hair cut didnt quite cut it with my thicko polish convict fat head big jaw appearance!!!

In other news Chris Mayh is a cunt! ZOMG ROFLMAO LOLCANOES I not supposed to say that but alles denkt dass es der truth ist.

Here are a few punchlines:

What do you call a blonde with two brain cells?......... Prengant.

Why did the leaf fall off the tree? Because it lt go!

How do you stop a pakistani tank? Shoot the men pushing it!

So there was a family meal in full flow, and the first daughter asked " mummy, mummy, why was I caled Rose?"..... "Because when you were born a Rose flew through the window"..............the next daughter asked the same question"....mummy, mummy, why was I caled Bluebell?..... Because when you werte born a bluebell flew through the window?" And then the Boy asked mmmmahhhaewwwarahhhgughhghfjghgxhflghxfhgn *dribbles a bit*.................." SHUT UP BRICK!"

Thats all I've got for the moment............but here'as an impression...."Facks sayack!", you Fackin kiddin me?"...."I Rayaze".

P.S No Gambons were Stacked in the making of this utterly irrelevant (sp) post.

Roflangebötkopfenschmerzenvaginalsfluessigkeitshimmelgeschaenk. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Right good night everybody. I bid thee all a good life, especailly Paul because small people need our love. We

I wish people had testicles

Morning all. just got back from a fantastic night out with my housemates, but yet again a I was
in the middle of an ALMOST fight. Despite the fact that everyone knows im a very un PC straight talking bloke who really doesn't gove a shit about the vast majority of things, I find myself annoyed once again at the cowardice of a select few.

On a night out, I enjoy myself, I have plenty to drink, I have a good chat with randomers I dont even know, but there are always a certain few who believe themselves to be in someway superior to me and my friends and cause some sort of controversy, be it verbal or physical. Today it was (slightly) physical. A simple egg thrown by a group of 20+ year old pissed RAH students who hit my friend turned into a minor confrontation which turned out, for the fourth time in a row, to be simply a case of hit and run, or more accurately hit and shit themselves once we actually stand up to them.

I grabbed the cunt by the jaw, threw him backwards and then the fucker ran off like a small girl. Pathetic.

I am genuinely fed up of people who look for trouble, commit some sort of gesture of war, and then run away like cowards as soon as I confront them. It is totally unneccessary. I would actually prefer someone who talks shit to actually destroy me completely as opposed to some skinny chav/gilet waring southern RAH who talks a good game yet fails epicly to follow up on such 'threats'.

Tom would like to add that 'people are cunts'. Judging by tonight then fair enough. He has almost passed out. Despite my previous hammered posts I am surprisingly sober and coherent :D, but biblically angry that almost every night has to end in a warzone. Meh, What can you do.

Goodish start to 09'

Me and Tom decided to play a tournament at napoleons casino yesterday. I've played there a few times and it's very seedy, the players are super aggro fish, the structure is terrible (£10 unlimited rebuys for 2hrs, starting stack 1k blinds 100/100, PL. Blinds increase in obscene increments), but the prize pool is epic. for 43 runners, the prize pool was just under 3k. After running like african death aids all night, I managed to wangle my way to fourth and £210. 60 of it went to Tom in an organised deal beforehand.

Started off on a naturally nutter table. My only hands in two hours were AK and 44, and 66. Ak got rivered by middle pair hitting trips, 44 got paid about 2k with a set, and the rest of the time my limping in late pos with crap failed to produce anything. I think i did something stupid with 96o too. Rebought twice and added on.

After this disgustingly barren period, I finally got semi paid when I had three callers on a raise with AA but annoyingly everyone gave up on the flop. I then CRAI on top pair and a flush draw (k5) after a bloke pet the pot. He folded. Still monumentally shortstacked compared to the rest of the field, about an hour later of pure bollocks I found 88 in the bb after everyone limped amazingly and decided to squeeze all in, getting called by a shortstack with kq. I hit quads! This put me middle stacked at around 17k.

Moving onto the last two tables, I called an all in from the button with a9s vs a4 for us to split the pot, then I lost the majority of my stack when I called an all in from the BB against the SB, AQ vs KJ. Flopped an A but he turn rivered two pair lol. Down to 8 BB. Ran card dead until i was down to about 4BB. Pushed with a7 got called by 88 and turn rivered a straight after he hit a set. My only real luck of the night! I then loosened up loads to try and steal some blinds which worked.

Went onto the final table as the shortest stack, tripled up AI with AQ vs KJ vs 1010 to finally give me some room. Then lost with a2 vs 99 after I raised the short BB. Some huge pots ensued till there were 4, and with me having less than 6bb the majority of the time, finally died with q9 vs JJ. That was it.

Hope all is good :D

2009.

Well I'm going to follow suit with this aims and goals malarkey. Before I do, a brief of sum up of '08

Life wise, not much changed. I stopped rowing and started fighting, and thus far it has been an excellent choice. No more rahs, lycra, obscenely early mornings with ice encrusted round the oars themselves, the boat, and you. And I'm still in good(ish) shape which I am happy about.

Still with megan, 3 and a half years now so it seems (touch wood) that it should be a very long term thing which is great.

Academically, 2nd year is a zillion times better than first year, even though stuff actually counts. I actually feel reasonably educated atm and have finally noticed the transition between school and uni. Woop. And of course no more fucking literature.

Financially, 1st year was terrible as Isaac will back up. Bradford education authority didn't give me the full maintenance grant and so I had to make up about 400 quid of my own money, which didn't exist. They probably had to use some of it to train bomb/drug/anti terrorist squads. STOP IT TONY. STOPPP.

Moving very very swiftly on, this year as been loads better. Despite earning 3k in an envelope factory, at the end of it all my bank balance was £0. Debts are a slag. Now though, I am semi comfortable, and this moves me on to poker.

Since I started 18 months ago I have made just over $2k. I have nothing to show for it as it all gets used to pay rent and the like. While this sum is a drop in the ocean compared to my friends at poker soc, it has nevertheless given be a bit of confidence in that thus far I am a winning player. I still need to stop tilting online and making stupid calls to prove me right.

One small example was yesterday- $5 MTT, I have A5 flop comes A45. Just me and another and this bloke in the BB. He bet I raised he min reraised. I shouted to myself " WHAT A CUNT WITH YOUR 23" I was so sure but I called (as usual) to bust. I need to stop doing that.

Right, AIMS!

1. Work harder at my degree ( I never th0ught I'd say that)
2. Win more poker and learn how to play online cash. In fact cash in general.
3. Win the UKSPC (lol!!)
4. Stay in shape
5. Try and finish my sentences in english instead of forgetting the word and then using another language.
6. Do not headbutt Tom's cactus when I get really angry.

Liebe to all. Tx
