Futurama

welcome back, gentle reader

oh my gawd, i feel awful !

on two counts .... i feel bad for ranting like that ... and i have a hangover :((

oh well, sometimes its good to let off a little steam !

btw thanks for comments from mair, donkey, exile and acorn :)

the day started well yesterday. went to my local for a pint with my mate and then back to his for Christmas dinner, which was superb ! always good when someone else does the cooking and he wouldn't even let me help with the dishes ! double result !
a few beers after dinner and i pretty much roll home. get the old dvd recorder fired up ... recording all of "Heroes" on the Sci-Fi channel. the whole of season 1 :)

fire the pc up for some poker. luckily for me and my bankroll i did not do anything to stupid. hell, i even manged to win one ... sorry, make that a 2nd place :) lol, how the hell i managed to "play" for 4 hours is beyond me, and my neighbour must have wondered what all the shouting was about when i eventually got HU.

The Last Samurai

welcome back, gentle reader.

well this is supposed to be a short post ... when do i make anything short seeing as i so like the sound of my own voice :)
doing the usual housework on this humble blog and that means updating links.

anyone spot an error, please let me know.

been playing poker as per usual. some nice little scores and as per usual go and blow it in bigger buy-in tournaments. actually quite surprised i have any roll left at all tbh. considering the type of year i am having.
finished off a few of my little colt45 challenges - some with profit some not and one, on the face of it, fairly ludicrous challenge. i'll bore y'all to death with the full results in later posts.

i think i'll wind this here humble blog down ... poker wise ... and see if they'll have me over on ukpokerscene.

i'll keep this blog here for life in general, such as it will be. hmmmm life ... whats it all about eh ?
oh Rosie, you'd be proud. sorted my shit out. not the result i was looking for, more the bookies favouite really. painful, but sorted. no doubt as time passes, i will update my situation. certainly more for me and my sanity !!

bah ! when i started this post i knew where i wanted it to go and now ??

lets finish up.

in the coming weeks, over the "festive" period, if you come across me, please don't be offended if one or other of the following occurs.

I completely ignore all chat.
I completely trash talk the table.

one of two things will be going on.

i will be so wrapped up in my inner turmoil hence silence.
i will be freeway spanking drunk hence the trash talk.

both scenarios are likely to happen as i come to terms with my demons.

so, to those who are having it ... Merry Christmas !

to those miserable cunts (me) who are not having it ... ho fucking ho.

Live at the Glasgow Apollo - pt 3

welcome back, gentle reader.

and welcome to monday, where did the weekend go ?

actually had a good one and it goes something like this.

Friday night, teamed up with a few of the regular rTr friday night crew. we donked about in a few games, ok, i donked and they played :)
all good clean fun, the highlight had to be matty taking down a $10 45-man. nice one and very well played mate.
after that i took my weeks winnings on FT and entered a $55 H.O.R.S.E. ... seemed such a good idea at the time ... only to get to the bubble, me and two other shortstacks, who were just trying to fold into the money. unfortunately the blind increase went against me and i was forced to push against the bigstack in the damned hold'em round and he flipped over a big pair ... gg me :(

Saturday night was the live game.

and we had no less than 3 visitors from down south who had flown up just for this game !

first off, huge thanks to theBigChap for hosting the game.

big thanks to the S-man and theCousin our two dedicated drivers.

and thanks to acorn for arranging the game.

now i almost did not make the game. had a little accident with a saw, thinking at the time i'd almost chopped ... sawed ... my fucking fingertip off ! looking at the damage now, i have a nice little perfect horseshoe gash on my middle finger. don't look much, but fawk me did it bleed !! took so long to stop i thought i was off to A&E ...

the guests. finally got to meet JUICE ... theEDGE ... and ROSIE.
always fun to meet people when you have only ever read them ! funnily enough, they were nothing like i imagined. Juice wasn't to much of a surprise as i'd seen his pic on his blog. theEdge & Rosie were nothing like i'd imagined. all in a good way of course :)
very nice to meet u all and hope you enjoyed yourself as much as i did.
we headed off to theBigChaps and after an hour finally arrived. had ourselves a little £5 turbo tourney, no cash for me in that one. Acorn & Juice and theEdge took the honours.
then we moved onto a wee cash game, small stakes keep it friendly. made a small profit of £2.50 in that, so not a complete financial disaster :)
we had an early finish and had to leave at around 1am. with 6 of us heading back to acorns for the boxing ... on tv and not live, i hasten to add.
after the boxing i could not get a taxi, bugger, in the doghouse again !! well it was around 6am ho hum.

hope you guys all enjoyed the night as much as i did, looking forward to the next one already.

sunday night was britblogger ... and the dTd wildcard game.

played well in both games, getting bumped off in the britblogger after reaching the final table, out in 5th or 6th ??
the dTd game was a belter.

10 starters. one by one they all dropped. then there were 3.

me :) and two high rollers ... amatay ! and kenn !
yikes, could not get much tougher and i expected to be bounced in 3rd. hung in there though, determined to give a good account of myself and not get caught making a donk move. amatay finally nailed kenn with his flopped flush holding up against kenn's flopped set !

heads up little-fish-me against big-fish-amatay

we went head-to-head with amatay the big stack. once again i was determined not to donk out.
the blinds were starting to hurt and i did double thru once or twice, but could only get the chip lead cut to 2-1.
thought i played very well and gave a good account of myself in general.

he said " I also had a loooong head ups battle with Double D, gg m8, wp. " ... :))

mair said " the HU match between dD and Amatay was superb, was great to watch. "

and turned out quite a long, long, hard fought battle ...

then i picked up 33 ... i pushed ... he called ... with 55

presto held up, and amatay wins.

gg mrJones, very well played sir.


not to disappointed :( but it would have been nice to nail such a big scalp :)

welcome back, gentle reader.

another wee omaha lesson.

returned (again) to my beloved plo8 cash. guess what ? my friend was at the table and he was up to his usual party tricks, thats right, playing every-gawd-damned-fucking-hand ... this time he was not so lucky.
just for the record, i cannot be arsed to change names to protect the guilty :)

i have to admit to a certain admiration for the guys name tho - PoisonedLuck - sheer class mate :))

he was at the table with $30 when i joined ... as usual, here a few hands.

certainly not the same trash he was playing and hitting the other night. his trouble seemed to be even when a good hand hit, he seemed to be getting quartered all the time. not good for your balance that one.

50mins later he left with $1.64 ...

if all you are chasing is a flush, make sure its the nutz.

it seems players at these micro limits will bet the nut low till there mouse finger falls off ... and what they have for a high, seems almost irrelevant.

and my session ?

i lost the princely sum of 94c

... hell of a lot better than the buy-in the first night

Something for the Weekend, Sir ?

welcome back, gentle reader.

well its nice to see acorn enjoyed his night out. he got in touch on his return home and "persuaded" me to join him for some pished poker. damn, had his message appeared 10 minutes later i'd have been in bed. :)
played two wee turbo's and did not get in the money in either, my my what a surprise.
ran my KJ into AA and gg me
ran my set of 6's into runner-runner flush ho-hum

then it was onto Kattitude's re-buy donkament ... great fun but way to late. donking along really well in that one, then the clock caught my eye ... fawk me, nearly 4am, and as soon as i saw that it was time to push with the first available hand that came along and would not make me look a complete donk in front of all those well known North American bloggers :)
so AQ duly showed up and i pushed ... straight into AA ... never been so glad, since i was, literally, falling asleep at the keyboard !!

the other hilight of the weekend was of course, britblogger on sunday night. and very nearly a nice highlite until i ran my AK into fucking ... oh sorry that was last week ... now i've mentioned it ...

last week i shoved with AK and got called by ... gawd damn fucking KQ (cogs u donkey !!) ... boom ! rivered, out i go.

this week i shoved with AK ... called by 66 ... bad call in my opinion, what does he think i have ??

anyways, gg me, out in sixth, meh.

which reminds me.
i believe the mighty Surflexus did the walk of shame ?

stop by his place and "remind" him its tradition to give the monkey a home !!
