fucking arsenal

i've been playing a little poker. been going ok. Actually been going good. Strippin my account right back has been good for my poker play. Haven't been rushing and trying to force hands and bluff as much. Still playing same micro level but just been getting paid off with my big hands. Been playing with play money too, taking it quite serious. Really need to prove to myself i can make it happen. build a bankroll. I have built up to 500 from 40 before. think i can do mre and quicker.

arsenal wont win shit and never will. they are my team but just kills me to see them get crushed by chelsea and man u. they got easy run in next couple of months so shud be knocking on the door again soon.

Me and my bird move in together at weekend. Am actually really looking forward to it. its gonna be tough trying to tell sum of my mates. we aint like normal mates. we share everything together. We really do. I have secrets on all of them . secrets that no one else in the world knows. and am bit worried bout telling them coz ill feel they think im leaving them but i aint. and same with my mum. gonna have to write her a letter on my leaving day coz i cant say it but can write. need her to know that will miss her. but will see her every chance i get. I think i turned out ok and it was down to her.

Fucking hell. its shit like this i write like this is why ill never show anyine :)

Ok...

More blogging is needed by me.
I recently took all money i had on here (just a couple of hundred£) but have used it for other little bits i needed. Have left myself with very little but enough to start building back up.
Think i will use regular updates on my blog to keep a head of myself.
I actually played quite alot over January and overall i was a winner but started tilting towards the end and was rolled just fine for it but was starting to play very bad. Should really of sat tight on a number of tables but was as loose as everyone else. another reason why i took the money out
Sit and goes were a n go as was planned. think im gonna mix and match it a little.

i move in with my bird in two weeks time and will put a few hundred back in when i get internet back up.

New year resolutions

Ok well overall 2009 has been an ok-togood year. There things i havent achieved which i'm absolutly gutted about and things which have just not changed which are a mixture of being gutted but also good not to change all so.

The whole decade has been very up and down tbh. 1 of the best things i reckon is 10 years ago tonight i went out with a group of pals and it more or less the first time we had really gone out drinking together and these are the same boys I had spent my time playing football with going to school with, fighting with and making up with that i just THOUGHT were really good mates. ones that wud be there through all the good, bad and ugly times with me.
Tonight I will be going out with the same group of pals and this time I KNOW they will be there through the good, the bad and ugly with me. :) (I dont think i have explained it very well but boys if you ever get to read this what this is supposed to say is thank you i guess and I love you all) WOW hope no one ever gets to see it lol - proper gay!!!

My girlfriend just keeps getting better and better she's like a fine wine. :) I never thought it could happen but i have an even better time hanging out with her than i do my mates. Really do think she was put on this earth for me. She just kills me shes so funny. :-)

Right the reason why i started this blog. THE POKER
New year resolution is gonna be pretty much same as last years i bet. I am going back to the sit and go front i think. and am going to try get in 300-500 6 max games a month. I know people can piss that in 8 days or whatever but just dont have the time. And i aim is to be over bankrolled for the $11 ones by the end of the year. I want a couple of thousand in there at some point through the year. If i feel im flgging then i gott stop whatever i had planned and play some. Only way i will get better and get some money is to play the games. I gotta invest in poker training site next year too. I gotta stop thinking i'm better than i actually am. I gotta read my hand histories aswell. maybe try do that once a week. My mate said just question yourself on moves you have made and that will help u develop too.

Bankroll. $200

I am in the mood again

Right... I decided a few months ago to take most of my winnings out. Left myself with a tiny little bankroll for playing the smallest of small games. started of a month ago by playing very bad and unfortunately bad beat after bad beat. Then i started playing $1 heads up sit and goes on Ftilt and won like 15 in a row but dont really like this coz can really only concentrate on 1 table at a time :)where i can play 4 tables 6 max gsames very comfortable so wud be mor profit. I guess those wins in a row really sparked me of wanting to play again really. Best mate and WPT mag writer :) is being backed playing 6$ 6 max games at the mo and is winning quite abit. Only plays like 150 a week as well. He is always rushing them fitting in 50/100 on the sunday. I really beliee i cud be a winner at these games with the same amount of logging time so am gonna find some time weekly and really go to work on it. onc ive lost 5/6 in a row ill probably wont wanna ply again lol.
I'll post again very soon

DOWN

Played a bit since last post. especially the birthday week on fultilt. Have hit a major downswing. Biggest ever. Just down to playing badly tho (thank god) :). I lost $70 last week and a little the week before. Hell of a lot for me really. Funny thing is it didnt bother me that much.
I really felt like my next post wud be a story of being broke.
Started playing a bit of heads-up again. really do enjoy it. I won $40 ina 10 min period this morning. Felt pretty good.

went horse racing yesterday and won as well so doing ok at the mo

Sunday, 12 July 2009

going A ok

Poker is up a bit. Played about 5 half hour sessions since last post and made bout $25 :)

Wish i was in vegas, Wud love to be able to afford a seat for main event. Been reading http://exsnowman.blogspot.com/ and he seems to be doing awesome, Played some really good hands. One hand i think was were he pushed q8 off at the cutoff when was reraised by bb who was short and bb folded. Still would of been a big chunk of his chips gone if guy calls. But guess thats the power of having chips in tourneys, People just wanting to stay alive and a push like that seems a good strong move. Good luck to him anyways :)

Bankroll: MOST TO DATE $410

Partying WAY too much

Been a busy last 3 weeks. Mum and Dad have been away for two weeks and are due back today after a days delay and it has been my birthday :) Had a real good time but have also been working pretty hard too. At work and doing jobs around the house. So havent been on my computer as much so therefore hav'nt played much poker.

The bits i have played have been pretty crap. deff am down a little bit.
I will be putin a few hours in tonight due to having a golf day tomorrow which starts at 1pm instead of getting up for work early. Maybe i shud think about hustling :) i aint very good but i know the people im going with arent either :)
On my birthday i thought i was gonna have the time to play a bit but turned out i didnt. I played about 6 orbits of 25c/50c and made 3 or so bbs :) When im playing well out of my comfort zone like that i am always looking through for the tightest table i can find. The big pot size tables i stay away from. I just know with my luck i would miss on the flop on these table and loose big. Least i know i can work the players out pretty fast on these tight tables without loosing my stack in the process

Bankroll: $385

up down up down!!!!

Same old story reallyy. although this has a bit more of a fairytale ending LOL - Basically had been doing pretty shit my last two quick sessions which one table was playing 25nl table. was probably down $30 ish. basically card dead. and was trying to make moves which i cant really afford to make. Anyways my mate also been been on a bit of a cooler and asked if i want 50% action on him but in a bigger tourney. I did question it because he was on abit of tilt himself but i sent him $40 dollars and persuaded him to play 3 $24+2 sit and goes. He did and came a good 2nd in one. which gave us a win of $270 and net profit of $192. So has increased my bankroll by quite a bit.

UPDATE: had to save it, so am writing a day later. Today was another success Dan text me to say he was playing $22 PLO tourney and did i want 50%. I remeber he has had a few near misses with the PLO toruneys so said yeah. Text me a couple of hours later to tell me he had credited my account $63. He had come 4th. Not a bad bit of business on my part i feel :)

Went to another funeral yesterday afternoon (3rd in 7 months). it was dans auntie. went was well as funerals can go.

Might start playing sum $5 45 man sitngoes now. Might take me a couple of goes to get into it. Going thru a bit of a bad patch in the cash games at the mo

Bankroll: $403
My highest bankroll to date :)

Good mood

Right now i am in the best mood. The main reason for this im sure is the weather, I just LOVE the summer. Mind you, this is first time since being an adult where i havent been abroad :(
Another rason for this good mood is my bird just got her first teaching job as Art teacher at downham market in norfolk which is only 30 odd mins from where i live which is brill news. and just feel for me things could be on the up. Am only part time atm well in two jobs and am in the need for a break in ajob i would enjoy. Have applied for one with british gas which feel i would love. But if that dont pay off then im sure something is just round the corner. Just feel it!!!

Yet another reason for this good mood is poker - Have been making steady progress. Could of had a bit more profit if werent for some bad calls but hey ho!, also find myself with bit more extra time at the mo so am gonna try put few more sessions in plus try play a few long ones too. When i say long i mean 3 hours lol. Bet that is so short for a lot of players.
Mate dan is doin 10000 hands at 10/25 cent at the mo. think he will be over halfway now. Been doing well. I hope he does show good bankroll management this time!!!

Up..

Life aint bad at the mo. seem to have a really good balance between work ,study, friends and girlfriend. Even found a bit more time for poker at the mo. Found a website alle rakereduction.com or summit and it lets you calculate up how much rake you earn. Just type details in and then it shows per day, month & year. I have been pissing about with it. like seing how much rake you earn 3/6 at 15000 hands a month and so on. Also got given like 200 poker mags from my mate the other, he was gonna chuck them but i sad id have them and found a couple of interviews a bit inspiring. first one was isabelle mercier - She just thoufht fuck it one day and sold everything she owned. had a house sale and ended up with 10k. stuck with it thru a rocky period then had a great result and then got a sponsor. she basically says one life. live it how u wanna. I do love that idea but just have way too many ties to be able to. Plus u need some BIG BALLS lol. The other interview was pat antonius. Talking about his online experience with $200 and started playing 200limt. Hast really had alosing period to recently really. He said he never had back to back losing months. Redic!! So on this logic i decided to take up 50/1 limit coz obviuosly i have the one buyin like patrik so i can do it:) Only played a couple of hundred hands at this level coz obviously i am scared money. Real stupid idea i know. Might play some more limit though. do enjoy it. Apprently there is more math involved though. So my C at gcse might not cut it!! Ended up but not by much really. Just been playing 3 tables for 45 mins.two of them $10nl and the other $20 nl. Doubled up with one of my last hands of the sesh which was awesome. Looking forward to rake back in couple of weeks time. Might be my record score. So all in all very good month for me sooo far :)

OMAHA HI..

I have come to the conclusion recently that i aint really in the mood to take poker seriously enough to make money. It can be done but need the focus and determination and I seem to be getting bad beat after bad beat. So recently have been pissing about on the 1c/2c plo tables lol. And not really winning,apart from the last couple of days that is. Like i say pissing about really, played a plo sng today and came second. was well chuffed!! wasnt even concentrating. was playing a cash table at same time. before i knew it thyere was two of us left. Guy was much better heads up plo player than me. that was fact. Def am getting better though :)

Bankroll:$220 ish

This and that..

Plodding along atm. Played a little poker now (bout7 hours this week) and have broken about even. maybe a lttile down. Have just got my money back from the sit and go challenge. Last friday night was bored and didnt go out and didnt go out the night before so for a treat to myself I deposited another $50 into my fulltilt account. I fired up about 5 tourneys with it but thinking now i perhaps should of fired up some sit n goes instead. Got one really good value tourny $25000 guarentee for 24$ buyin. actually probably wrong here. it was $5000 for first, anyways it was a good value tourney. Thought i played well in all but didnt cash in any:( all tourneys i played had high volume of players and really just got bummed a few times with silly play. other than that i have been playing just the $4nl cash which i am just pissing about with really. Basically with this level if you raise the standard 3 blinds expect to get called with j3 offsuit. I lost a few buyins practically withpretty bad beats. I guess the thinking at this level is 'fuck it, why not CALL' .
Am gonna play alot more sit and goes next coming weeks so next blog entry should show bit of change in the right direction:)

I reckon on the whole i do quite well with my small bankroll. It is boring to read quite often. but do think something will click soon and i will get a few wins in a row.

Also am shitting myself today. Tonights the night Arsenal play united i first leg semi final. Just feel man u are over there dizzy spell and look alot fresher. AM a big arsenal fan but just feel we will get spanked tonight. Am usually pretty bad with my predictions but will still go for a 3-0 man u score line tonight. I dont want Shearer to succeed niether not much reasoning behind that other than newcastle fans generally live in a dream land. Shearer isnt even a qualified manager! He just copies everything hansen says and just always points out the obvious on match of the day which really annoys me aswell. So yeah my predictions to go down - Middlesborough,Newcastle and Hull. Like i say my predictions are wank usually.


Bankroll $220 ish

Play some poker!!!!

Wednesday, 8 April 2009

up and down....again!

I might as well copy and paste this line because its always the same - Haven't played as much as i would of liked to of done :)
I went out friday night and came home and played for about an hour and lost stupid money like $30 playing 20nl. YES was very drunk lol. I had nothing to do at the weekend. EVERYONE i know was busy so started to play 4nl and actually really enjoyed it. Think it was one of my longest sessions ever. I think i enjoyed it because of the stake. Felt if i played ok and lost the buyin it wasn't gonna piss me off that much. Was playing 3 tables and finished up on all of them. Just enough to get the money back had lost night before.
Previous to the weekend just gone i have been playing for like half hour periods and being a couple of dollars up and feeling like i should logg off coz im might lose this profit i have lol.

Oh yea, big news is i read a story on a poker news site that a guy who is a sit and go expert turned $100 into $10,000 in 14 days playing sit and go's upto the value of only $16. I read first of all he was playing 50 a time. 50 and winning!!! So my mate said he could do something like this but on a smaller scale. Still having a $100 but turning it into $1000 in two weeks. I put up the 100 and said i only want double the money for the stake. kind i know. he started off and was breaking even . Then after a daynhalf of doing this he gets bored and plays plo 25/50c instead. This pissed me off a little coz I gave him it thinking it is a good challenge and one he could do seeing as he dont work for a living. But he has recently banned himself from all sites tha he plays on and was obviously getting itchy feet and wanted to play cash. Couldnt resist!!. So he lost it all and now owes me my $100 back.

Im not even gonna read it back coz i can imagine how shite it reads!

Poker post now

made the 3 buyns i wanted too. actually made 4 buyins - won quite a big pot then left after a few orbits. Was really looking forward to a longish sesh playing but once i made it i thought i better stop. lol. Made it pretty easily actually, Got three days left on the week so guess i will try to add to it. thinking dropping down a level helped alot and watched quite a good training vid earlier.
Guess another week of this and i will be moving back up.

My mate called me earlier asking what i was gonna be doing from 6 till 7. I said nothing, he had been playing a tournament and was down to last 20 but he had to go out so i said sure id step in.
Only problem is. it was pot limit omaha tourney and only experience i have of that is play money on fulltilt lol. I understand enough to see him through i thought though. he gave me the low down of what hands to play etc. didn't get to play unfortunatly coz for sum stupid reason he gave me the wrong password and i tried entering it 3/5 times and the site stopped me trying in the end. long story short again he came back and finished 5th for a couple 100 bucks i think. Lucky devil!!!

prolly post again once i make 4 more buyins . like i say i really shudda kept playing. cudda made them tonight.
