Well,

I have only played 2 or 3 times since last blog when my girlfriend was back at her folks so had a free night, I cashed out rest of the money on Pokerstars and used so spare fpp's to enter the 100k didnt do very well in that but I did with 4/7 sng for the tourney so got $33 tournament dollars which I haven't used yet.

Move $200 on to FTP, $50 Dolyes Room, $50 Carbon and $50 on Sky Poker.....

Well I came in cash in one of the Sky events for +50
Doyles Room I have grinded up to $126 clearing bonus's
Carbon I have grinded up to $142 clearing bonus's

So all good just bonus's horing once cleared I'll cash out these.

On to FTP where I was feeling gambleeeeee, so went straight to a 2/4 omaha game played a mammoth 12 hour sesh and it didnt start so well.

Hand 1: to shorter stack than me call my raise I have kqq10 flop is j98 we all get it all in turn blank river pairs the board full house down to $37.90.

Grinded up with a double up AAxx to qqxx

Then hit nut flush on flop and the guy paid me off all the way so I am up to $180

for an hour there was nothing but ground out another $40 to give me $220 when I have

10 9 7 6 I raise to take blinds get one caller flop come 876 2 clubs I pot it he raises me, I go all in he has nuts flush draw I hold I play for another hour no more interesting hands (one moron named uratard) come off with $520.

I then went back to the grinding 25pl omaha over next 3 hours of 4 tabling come of up 3 bi on 2 tables +1 on another -2 on lastso now up to $650 gonna keep this roll on the tables this time!!!!!

Want to be playing $400 omaha with correct bank roll mid way through next year.

Any ways good luck all

especially Jbird75(cardrunners)

Monkey tilt, Quads over quads

Well on monday I loaded up 4, 25 pl tables after around 30 mins of play I was up around 1.5 buy ins then, PS must have put a doomswitch on me. I have a boat beaten by rivered quads sets to flushes and straight to a royal flush and I was down 8ish buy ins this left me with about $80 left!!!!! Monkey Tilt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I put the rest on a 2-4 table and this is what happen. 1st hand $85

I call sb with 3 callers 10 8 7 6 double suited flop hits me with 10 flush I bet pot then mext guy min raises, I go over the top and he folds. $125

2nd hand few orbits later. 3 to the flop raised pot around $50 I have ds KK j10 flop comes k84
Ibet pot I caller then a reraise puts me allin other guy calls 4 on turn blank river.$320

3rd Hand down to $290

I have AAQQ Its raised I re raise 3 of us all in flop comes 556 turn 9 river Q. one guy had 99 so bit lucky but I went in with best hand. $870

Last hand before I left only won $60. but I had 9988 flop comes 889 turn A river 9 so I had quads over quads lol weeeeee came off with $900 a lucky man.

Think though at 1-2 or 2-4 the player play fancy the 2nd had it was obv what I had but they were drawing for flushes shortstacking this level can be v profitable.

Anways I won the PL hold em event last night for another $500.

I then cashed out $1000 so a $2.8k month still with $500 to play with.

gonna put the £100 for this months deposit and the £500 into my cash ISA so I can see the profit. Profit is around £700/$1300 once I paid of overdraft and rent for January. So next month I get my full wage with no overdraft or rent to pay.

I feel early december I was playing my A game best ever last few days have been a mixof luck, well played hands and table selection.

in omaha people play to much of ABC poker for example. Hand. @25pl

I raise with low connectors Player A raises Player B calls you can put them on 95% of the time AAxx and KKxx, so there for for an extra 2.50$ I know If I hit the flop hard I will stack 1 of them if not both cause they cant lay down these hands which is there no1 mistake at low level omaha.

To carry on I reckon You will hit a flop 4/10 times and miss 6/10 so thats 6 * $2.50= -$15
No when you hit 1 time you you'll be sucked out on so thats -$25 another they will check or fold so thats +$9 for bets already made. the other time you stack one player thats +$31 and the other you stack both +$51 so all in all without variance this play is around +$50 dollars so its a positive play I like.

If you agree leave a comment not a %100 sure if my math is right.

GL @ the tables

Good Weekend.

Well the weekend started off poorly, as me & my brother's rugby game was called off. So on the way back home we decided we'd play some poker nothing else to do, the ladies were away all afternoon. Pretty boring session maybe down a couple of bucks no biggy.

Our James went back to his place around 5 to see his girlfriend and I sat down to watch some TV when I got a call. James's girl couldn't make it and he had no money online so I forwarded him $50 leaving me with around $37. He wanted to play some MTT's and he's a pretty consistant player on Crypto so no bother.

I watched him take down a 27 man $3.40, while I was watching him I saw the most incredibly soft game of omaha 50c-$1 so I took my $37 dollar on there thinking could roll it up.

Hand 1

BR $280 after fees

oh my brother has $110 so if he reaches $150 he'll send me $75 back.

Anyways GL at the Tables

peace

Cash Out....... Next Plan

Well I had to cash out $1750 to buy my girlfriend an eternity ring plus the major thing of paying next months rent in advance. So I get paid on the 27th but just give me and Chloe some leway.

So have $50 on stars and will probably deposit money on betfair, party or littlewoods because I cant play many tourneys so I want some JUICY fish other than myself to take on.

Problem with FTP & Stars is that what ever level you are at there are good player working there bankroll up but there are some fish.

Omaha game yesterday 5c10c My hole cards 10JJK.

preflop I call a pot size raise 4 to the flop

Flop is 10h 10s Qh.

Nice flop 1st pos pots it, next folds other call I call.

Turn 10c.

Half pot bet all called.

River 3d

Check check I raise All in both called.

One shows 99 other shows Ah 3h. I mean come on fair enough call down if you have AA at a push!!!!! Well a nice 25 dollar pot for me.

Roll stand at $87 after a cash in a SNG 18 person $3.75.

Anyway..... I think personally myself that I am a far better tourney player than cash so I have had some good cashes in lots of tourneys before but only once a final table. I want to try and emulate Moorman1, scTrojans and Doctor_fun to mention a few but maybe at the lower stakes(FTP & Stars pro's enter as little as the 10 multi rebuys) I can hold my own at this level or above but I want to start having a big micro win before I move up past the $10 1rebuy 1 addon.

So here I am ill deposit on one of the above 3 sites in ten days then in feb move any winnings on to Stars.

Thanks for reading

How to start.......Like everyone else!!!

This is my 1st blog. As per usual the background details.
Me and my partner Chloe play on many sites usally wasting money. I think I started playing in a home game SNG it is a £30 rebuy the rebuy last 4 hours. My results at this were and are great think the last ten games I have played I have 4 first 2 seconds a third and 3 out of the money. This usually pays £300-500.
So after winning the money I was thinking DAM I am good at this game!!!
So I went and deposited £500 on Party lost all that when I was playing 5/10 with my whole stack.(Full house to quads!!!!)
Then deposited £100 a month allternating between Stars and FTP for the last 7 months kept losing it. This takes me up to last month. Where deposit the usual on stars. Started reading cardrunners and learning about bankroll management!!!!
I started this deposit by running up 4 buy ins on 2 25nl tables to get me started. Then I entered 2 $4/180's eventually after 3 hours taking one down for $216. Ten minutes later saw the regular $10 1 rebuy 1 addon. Started off well tripling up first hand AA v KQ v KQ. up to 9000. next big hand of the first session in bb i hold 2-7 with 5 limpers check my option flop comes 2 2 J 1st pos pots it everyone calls turn J again potted by all. Thinking I might be behind implied odds were good. Then the magical 2 on the river for quads I go all in 2 callers show QJ & KJ respecively. Up to around 25k, at the addon stage. Don't bother taking this so in for the absolute min.Weeeeeeeeeee
Chipped up to 37k with steals then when blinds are around 400/800 the 3 big hands happen.
1. against big stack call min raise with 77 flop 267 allin he tables QQ 74k
2. Mid stack raises I have KK reraise all in he calls showing 1010 I hold 102k
3. I have AA under the gun to shortstacks allin 1 caller I re raise to isolate. up against AK KQ hold again. 190k
In 3 Hands chippy with 45 left.
now fluctuate up and down till we are down to 10. Nearly FT time getting low on chip average I make a move in mid postion ALL In AQ sooted called he shows AK. Q on flop and hes left with 20k eventually he goes.

First Final Table.
To cut a rather long story short card dead at the table and took 4th for $1200 when AJ no good against big stack 47 obv.
So that leaves it where me and my girl are Bankroll of $1800.
Thanks for your time
