welcome back
sorry, no pretty pictures today as I've no tracking software for last nights shenanigans .. so last night I joined up with the stud 8 cash players lol oh and one stud 8 mtt (small field, forum game)
lets get the mtt oot the way .. I was more than a little pissed that I was the bubble boy, busting out in fifth spot, meh. It is the ironman series so the points are welcome. Especially since the league leader scored way less points than I did :)
On the cash front I made a couple of dollars which equates to 24 big bets or there abouts.
For your info the 8c cash games run this way .... obligatory 1c ante, bring in was 2c and small bets 4c, big bets 8c .... and as my co-commentator and I are always saying, its amazing how big the pots get even tho it is "only" limit :)
The game plays way quicker than 08 even tho it was 8-handed play. That was the first surprise. Then I could not for the life of me get that stoopid table-ninja to work at all on the cash games .. fine on the mtt front .... pfffft. So i had to resort to using 'stars own hotkeys .... sometimes they worked, sometimes not. The one really annoying thing they would not do was post the bring-in .... wtf ?? The other thing I noticed, apart from no-one at any table ever believed that this new fish had half a clue as to what he was doing, was the fact that the players were exceedingly flighty. The player turnaround was quite amazing .... and probably quite a shock to them when they left one table to go to another and I'd be sat there too, lol.
Imagine the new fish multitabling ! what is the world coming to ?!
I played across 5-tables, all 8c ones of course but I was exceptionally pleased that I did not get skinned considering this was my very first foray into the murky world of the stud player.

day 1 report .... lol
welcome back
and so the alcohol-fuelled bankroll-busting-binge has come to an abrupt end, thank you very much. No, I'm not completely busto but I might as well be, lol. Although to be fair, I did have quite a bit of fun along the way :)
It could be a few weeks, a few months more like ! been playing all the variations 'stars has to offer .. the main problem is playing them all at the same time ! I find it quite difficult to multitable 08 and omaha .. same with 2-7 draw and 5-card draw .... lmfao, fucking nightmare.
I even threw in some nlhe .. no, really. Played a few of those 10c 360 runner things .. they, surprisingly, could actually be very profitable .. taking 90mins to wrap up a 4th place for 26 buy-in profit, they would be so "easy" to multitable .. hmmmm
Sorry, I digress. Last night I returned to my "home" .. good old cash 08.
Played across 16 tables (not all at once) consisting of 2c, z00m and 25c .. something close to 650 hands at 2c, 100 hands at z00m and 50 hands at 25c .... I, surprisingly, was not overly rusty and managed to turn a profit.
A picture, as they say, paints lots of words and I've waffled enuf as it is ....

the shinobi and the hot-key - part 2
welcome back
just a short continuation ....
so that 5-card draw tourney. really enjoyed it, even although I went out 431 of 589. I still cant believe how popular this form ok poker is. I did make a few noob mistakes.
very first hand I get dealt a full house, a big full house wi kings .. only flat calling a raise pre-draw and then flat calling original raisers post-draw bet, planning to raise on the next draw .... the more astute of you will no doubt have noticed the tourney was called "5-card draw" .... not triple draw but draw, singular, oops :(
my other big mistake, I think, was limping pre-draw with a set and facing two all-ins, like a pussy, I folded my 222xx .... the other two donks draw 2 cards and 3 cards .... wtf ?? yup, my set would have been good post draw as well, grrrr :(
all good clean fun, lol.
the other one I was going to mention was a $1.10 pl08b tourney, fuck me they're popular too ! I went deep, final 3-tables deep when .... (hotkeys are pretty useful, huh ?)
chatting at the table, trying to type the word "orbit" .... action pops to me as I type "b" .. except I dont type that letter .. I bet 3/4 of my stack to a big stack limp .. who promptly re-pops me all -in .. oops .. thouroughly committed, I can but call .. my very very mediocre 77T6 gets (quite rightly, imho) thouroughly rodgered by the big stacks A35Q (sooted, natch)
and I bomb .... 20th of 757 runners ffs, u-donk !! ((after 3 mins short of 5 hrs, meh))
and the 'stars UBER top heavy payout system really really rubbed it in .... I got a 1/2 % for 4-buy-ins .. thats right, one half of a percent, whatacunt :(

the shinobi and the hot-key
welcome back.
anyone been up to much ? I see our latest mtt grinder has been doing quite well .. jammy git ! lol. I've actually been doing much the same, not wi the same success, lol. but Friday night was a beer-free session .. we'll get back to that. and last night was a beer-free session also .. I know, wtf ? seriously, wtf ??
I was actually feeling tired last night and actually did the sensible thing and only played 6 games .. beer in hand and I've have been giving it away till yawn time in the am. Last night involved omaha, HORSE, 8-game, 2-7 triple draw, badugi and .... 5-card draw, I've never played draw in my life ! and this is without beer !
(clocks forward, his mrs now oot the bathroom, so its his turn. I'm sure he'll be back to finish this "epic" tale - Ed)

but how much was your bar bill ?
welcome back.
as ever, its been a while.
basically been on "holiday" for the last week or four up in Newcastle, lol. Still as barking mad as I remember it. Been working 10 & 12hr shifts, then hit the hotel bar, then hit the toon .. fuck me, am I getting to old for this shit or what ? The guys working for me obv took pity on me and basically would not let me put my hand in my pocket .. just as well or my "entertainment" bill would have paid off the national debt.
So online poker volume has been virtually nil .. but I did play LIVE .. not once, but twice.
are we paying attention Mickey Boy ..
anyways, about 3 weeks ago, or was it 4 ?? it was deffo a Thursday night, lol .... played a small MTT in the G-Casino. It was a £30+£2 double chance freezeout and I walked away with £320 , gg moi :)
then a couple of Sundays ago the tourney was cancelled so they opened up a 50p/50p cash game .. I sat in with twenty quid and several hours later I cashed out £120 , gg moi :)
now. a few years back I was in the G with blokes from the forum, some of whom played a cash game after our tourney .. and a wee local Chinese guy was playing .. a rather volatile player but it was as funny as fuck to watch when he blew up and stormed off from the table .. guess what ? the same bloke sat at my cash table for a few hours, lmfao.
all those hours and I only remember a few hands :) now lets see ....
on an x7x7x board I flat called the guy on my lefts flop and turn bets .. and check raised all-in on the river .. he showed his KK and asked if I had the seven .. when I tabled 77 he just stared .. finally blurting out "how the fuck did you check that river ?"
I also remember my kings holding up against AK .. and speaking of local Chinese, there were three of them sat at the table at one point and I eventually got involved in a hand with Mr Volatile's buddy .. he flat called behind all three of my bets and with three spades on the board I thought I was beat. When I tossed my 34 spades on their backs the guy on my left shouts "he's got the flush !" good enough to beat his TPTK , nh, gg moi.
For the record, I gave the whole £320 to the Mrs and I also gave her fifty quid from the cash game :)
and time marches on .. the first of March already .. since yesterday was the 29th it seemed like an appropriate time to play my usual beer fuelled online donkaments, lol. So for the month of March I'm going to try alcohol-free online donkaments .. interesting times indeed.

lost in the translation
welcome back
now depending where you get it translated, will perhaps give you the wrong impression of me and the wee welsh cnuts relationship :) .... see comment on previous post :)
so I'll deffo take the manlier translation, tyvm, Rubbish .... deffo up fer it mate, lets not make it during the school summer hols, theres a good chap :)
speaking of cnuts, mr A Salmond, supposed Scottish MP, go fuck yourself and yer referendum ! we get independance and most likely I'll never return .... theres no fucking way Scotland can survive in the current (or any other for that matter) climate without support from the Union .... thankfully, hopefully, most of us Scots will see past the wee scroats attempt at everlasting fame, honestly, what a fucking donk !
speaking of donks .... been trying to play sets of 8 stt's (well, they are ever so slow to fill, sigh). just this week though, while I try and get into a "serious" poker mindset .... getting off the beer is a completely different story ! meh :(
I suppose I'm actually quite worried about that. I started the ales whilst playing because almost overnight playing and boozing inexplicably took over as a night out .... ?!?! wtf ? seriously, wtf ? and before I knew it, boom, it had become my no.1 social activity .... living where I live and working away from home are the number 1 causes of my fall from grace, sigh. When they eventually chained me to a desk in York, I did try and set up a social evening or 4 with the other office low-lifes but ultimately to no avail .... shower of cnuts, lol, my company isn't really that bad .... o.m.f.g. maybe they follow zagga and actually belive that google is right, I'm the numero uno search result senile old bassa .... aargh !!!!
aye, so where was I .. oh aye, poker .... Monday was a set of 8 + 8 + 5 .. cashed 7 times :) lol (3 back to back second places but just could not hit shit in those heads up so just could not seal the deal , bah humbug ! )
last night was a registration of attrition .. managed sets of 4 + 4 + 7 lmfao .. cashed 7 times, again, wtf ?? lets hope that 7 is not some sort of precedent here ....
really pleased with the way I played aka nothing special from me just seriously bad play from the fish imho
blagged 4 first places (not complaining really) but one of those took 68 minutes :( wtf ? seriously, wtf ?
(double check what you reg for, you asshat - Ed)
so one beer down, time marches on, I have a game to reg for ....

nightmares and hero worship
welcome back
May I just wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year !
now surely the preceding 3 month poker hell cant continue, can it ? well, it will if I let it. at the mo its a poker sandstorm .. cant see a fucking thing and no idea which direction to take, lol. as the amAfish would say, sort yourself out fish !
been playing all over the place .. cash, stt's, mtt's, forum games .. and it shows, what a fucking fish, honestly !
I really really will have to decide what to play and when to play it, and stick to it, lol .. so easy to say, ho hum .... which leads me on to ....
you know, there are quite a few players/bloggers that I admire, hell I've even met a few. Mostly all winners (aren't we all, lol) and I'm sure the odd one or two who ain't. I probably admire them most for their dedication .. then again, if your an online pro ....
but they go about their grind and if you can do that for a year, kudos ! now they are not all pro's, not by a long shot. I mean, there are part timers and recreational donks .. zagga and jonesUcunt spring to mind , lol. there are of course others, the likes of theRant and closer to home there's the yellow belly JA's (thats a ref to his location, not his status lmfao)
but they all go about there business in a certain fashion which is one or four steps up from my degen beer drinking poker playing attempt !! (my only defence is the fact I have not reloaded in 3 years, honest)
and in summation m'lud .. knock it on the head and start rinsing the fish and stop fucking feeding them

bah, humbug !
welcome back.
you know, working for the man may provide you with a regular income, but fuck me, there are some miserable arseholes you have to put up with :(
someone I know is working in their back yard tomorrow and thought it'd be prudent to work from home on friday rather than travel the 120 miles into the office .... he put the suggestion to his gaffer .... and was promptly told that there was shit he had to complete for friday and his gaffer was sure he could not possibly do this work from home .... what a miserable cunt ! its supposed to be christmas ffs.
poker has been much more fun :)
I warmed up for last nights session by .... playing poker, lol .... well how the fuck else are you supposed to warm up :)
the warm-up consisted of a set of, wait for it .. four STT's .... and I ITM'd the four of them :) should probably have called it a night right there !!
They were all $1.50 Turbo Knockout no-limit 08 ..
one guy in the first game says
" I have no clue how to play this .... "
" why enter then ? " I politely enquired
" i didn't realise it was 4-cards .... "
wtf ? if it says "omaha" anywhere in the tourny title .... lol
anyways, he then proceeds to jam his stack in every hand and lasted 5 hands, lol. kudos to the guy for his honesty if nothing else :)
so first game I blag 2nd
((jammed A39K sooted ace into 24K8 ?? and he binks it , ho hum))
second game I blag 1st
((jammed 7A82 sooted ace into TJ5K ?? and I bink it , ho hum))
third game I blag 2nd
((jammed 6473 sooted 64 into 67QJ ?? and he binks it , ho hum))
fourth game I blag 3rd
((jammed 4K3Q sooted K into 9AA5 and A7AK and they split it , ho hum))
cant get much better than that, 4 from 4 ????
then I entered a few MTT's , all small field affairs because not one was hold'em :)
first up was a 2-7 lowball single draw .... bombed in 60th :( .... (64 runners lol)
next up was triple stud .... busted in 17th of 54 runners .... my kings and sixes no goot against the obligatory aces and fours
then we had the delights of the $4.40 pl08b .... close on 500 runners I bust in 185th
and onto Badugi, lol .... only 46 entered, I lasted until 21st
with the slightly saner version .. 2-7 lowball triple draw :) only 48 in and I got to 14th
and finished off the sesh with two back to back 8-game
with 85 players I managed (just) in the money with an 8th place
and then with 69 entrees .... I win, wheeee :)
heads up mildly amusing because we're at level XXXIX .... which was no-limit hold'em, oh the uber irony .... was chip leader heads up 80k to his 60k .... jammed with 45 and got called by K5 , err ok .... not a K in sight not that it would have helped as i flopped a straight, ouch
not a bad session :) started the grind at roughly 7, ending on a high at half past midnight. as ever ....

walk softly ....
welcome back.
nowt happening, those with ADS can now bugger off :)
as stated earlier, poker volume has been atrocious, meh. basically given up the ghost of any decent volume or accruel of vpp's .... in fact, after the latest windows crash and subsequent re-install, I've given up the fucking lot !! what a pain in the arse a re-install is .. and the fucking downloads, fml ! (should have made a backup disc, you tosspot - Ed)
so I cant be arsed with the cash grind, given up ?? on the stt's and have been delving into the mtt world .... standards of play, imho, shocking.
I mean .... took 1st place in a wee triple stud, 3rd place in a wee badugi and 14th (of 672 runners ffs) in an 08 tourney .... what does that tell you about the competition ????
the 08 is an eye opener because I sat out (bedtime, meh) with 30 runners still in and I still "run" it up to 14th ....
btw, 'stars - your payout structure is FUCKING piss poor .... (14th got twenty times less than 1st)
imo, stars should reduce the amount of peeps paid but NOT increase the top spots percentages .... or .... pay out the same number of people as they do at the mo, but knock a few % points of the top spot(s) , trust me, top spot in a micro buy-in would not even fucking notice a 10% reduction
so there you go, mtt's are simples :)
lets not go onto stt's as I have (for the last 3 weeks) 52 unread congrats emails from 'stars support :)
ah, that feels so much better !

so I cant be arsed with the cash grind, given up ?? on the stt's and have been delving into the mtt world .... standards of play, imho, shocking.
I mean .... took 1st place in a wee triple stud, 3rd place in a wee badugi and 14th (of 672 runners ffs) in an 08 tourney .... what does that tell you about the competition ????
the 08 is an eye opener because I sat out (bedtime, meh) with 30 runners still in and I still "run" it up to 14th ....
btw, 'stars - your payout structure is FUCKING piss poor .... (14th got twenty times less than 1st)
imo, stars should reduce the amount of peeps paid but NOT increase the top spots percentages .... or .... pay out the same number of people as they do at the mo, but knock a few % points of the top spot(s) , trust me, top spot in a micro buy-in would not even fucking notice a 10% reduction
so there you go, mtt's are simples :)
lets not go onto stt's as I have (for the last 3 weeks) 52 unread congrats emails from 'stars support :)
ah, that feels so much better !

Much Ado About Nothing
welcome back
Not been around to post much because I have nothing much to post about, lol. Well, you get to a certain stage in life and all those exciting things that one used to do, well .. they are no longer that exciting, meh.
Apart from a MONSTER night in the other Saturday, spent in the company of my good poker buddy zagga, there has been hellish little worth reporting. So glad that we decided on a night of on line shenanigans and did not go play live. You prolly had to be there but what a night, lol.
Much beer was consumed, many herbs were smoked and we even managed to play some poker :) The "evening" ended at 4 in the am !! when I (we?) (zagga?) decided to throw in the towel with zagga ordering a taxi for "Dudley" .... I was like "wtf ? no, you didn't ...." but he fucking well did !!
We both did well, relieving fish of their money .. all down to me bringing my "Dudley-run-good" of course :) As I said you prolly had to be there .. the taxi driver probably wishes he was NOT there .. since I just had to explain to him why the taxi had been ordered for "Dudley" which most deffo is not my name, lol.
Apart from that, pretty much sweet.f.a going on, especially on the poker front !
I'm back to the bottom stars VIP status which really requires no explanation. If you are not playing, you cannot earn VPP's , lmfao. So my Nov volume was really, really atrocious .. Oct was not much better, sigh .. and so far December has been just as bad, pffft.
Finishing on a "high" note (its all your fucking fault Zagga, damned hyper turbo's pffft) no, no, I really have not played any ! but my severe lack of volume is down to basically dicking about with the micro turbo STT's and turbo 6-max .. I was in the hole for $20 but but after dropping the 18-manners, I've clawed my way back to just $7 down .. oh, and the sample size ?? presto ! a whopping 55 games :)
see, see, Dudley-run-good in action !

the quest
welcome back
so far, November has been a horrible poker month. I'm not broke, but if bankroll was soley dependant on volume .. I'd be busto, lol. For the remainder of the month, I'm taking a leaf (not even a whole fucking page !) out of theGrinder's book.
I suppose a quest is a double edge sword .. do you chase the quest via volume .. certainly possible for sit'n'go grinders as they know exactly how many vpp's they earn per game .. do you chase the quest via profit .. arguably the only way to go for cash players.
I'll have to try a little of both. Sort of. Now my quest is pretty simple. Retain Silver for next month. Normally pretty plain sailing if I spread the volume over the month. Obv I haven't so far this month, meh.
So I'll have to aim for 40 vpp's per session (lol !) Obv any profit that goes with it will be more than welcome !
I'd backed off playing because my 'roll had taken a hammering over the last month or so. Finally figured out why, duh. Playing and paying forum pyramid games equates to $20 a week .. real world peanuts, but a lot for a microstakes bankroll, meh. Next time I may not be so greedy and sign up for one or two levels and not all three !!
Finally, hats off to my mate zagga who is playing hyper turbo's .... yer a sic puppy !!

just another wee dilema - pt 2
welcome back
might as well get this oot the way .... well done noCash who shipped something or other for 12k, jammy coooont, lol.
part 4/4 of his trip report is by far the best entry imo. and i do like his style re the final table .. quote "(No chops / deals / bubble bursters any anything else equally homosexual)" .... awesome :)
originally, this entry was going to be about poker .... and alcohol .... bad hair day, so it can wait until tomorrow ....
before we start, i noticed a huge increase in cash tables available at microlevel, yup , its another road-to-70-billion promo .... its actually quite difficult to exploit all the passing traffic, most seem to have no clue ! so unless you have the nuts, up & down btw, you are going to get called with an overpair, lol, i kid you not !
i see stars had another update .. always wonder wtf they are all about, so i did a little digging (amazing the things you find on the pokerstars website lmfao)(ok, ok so i'm not actually that impressed with their website. read on, you'll find out why)
special offers .. fair enough, i suppose, but wtf is MTT leaderboard doing on there ??
fawk me, it aint that bleedin obvious, yeesh .... PokerStars Software – New Features
I wish I'd never looked ....
Social Sharing – We are adding the ability to post your hands directly to your Facebook and Twitter ....
Notes Improvements – We have made a number of improvements to how our notes system works .... seems fair, if you use notes, obv.
Sit & Go Lobby Revamp .. uh, ok
Sit Out Next Big Blind and Close Table .. this was a fucking awesome addition
Apply Active Layout .. uh, ok
Rearrangement of Title bar for Tournament Tables .. uh, ok
Option not to Steal Focus when Typing in Chat or taking a Note .. thats a relief !
Column Settings .. yay !!
wow, wait a minute. the latest updates on stars website are listed as June 2011, wtf ??
I suppose the latest news will prolly be found HERE
be warned .... this thread started in 2006 .... there are now 841 pages of comments ....

just another wee dilema - pt 1
welcome back.
originally, this entry was going to be about poker .... and alcohol .... bad hair day, so it can wait until tomorrow ....
alarm goes off this morning at quarter to six, I'm on the road just after six. correct, she wouldn't entertain an early morning jump start, pfffft. Journey up to York was better than normal, probably due to the early start, or lack there of, pfffft.
Get to work early. wow ! Lots of jokes about the clocks going back promptly ensued, pfffft. Hate it when my colleagues are in better form than me. So brownie points for being early, err no, the only thing you get from my lot are black marks for being late (do they give a flying fuck how long it takes me to get home on a Friday ? err no. Do I give a flying fuck about being early ....)
Work was actually ok, just enough on my desk to keep under the sweetie wives (management jobsworths) radar. Leave work .... and its dark, fuck !
Anyways, off home and then off to the shops for the weeks provisions. Their card reader is not working so I go find an ATM and take out twenty quid, put it in my pocket, get the shopping done, wait at the till, reach into my pocket for the twenty quid and pull out .... fresh fucking air !
yup, its not there .. so whoever finds my money, have a free beer, coooonts.
Days like this make me frightened to play .... nh, gg, ul, fu ....

"I used to love dreaming up titles...."
welcome back.
I see blogger have been messing about with the interface .. suppose only time will tell if i even notice/use the changes, lol. EDIT - wowser, the preview button works !!
speaking of change, i've moved gaffs in York, just have to wait and see how much of an improvement over the old place it turns out to be .... well its a lot cleaner, strike one !
Not much happening, no lady-boy banging stories (eh Simon) or protecting my boyfriend from lizards (eh Simon) .... you know where to go for that kinda shit, lol
finally, finally got around to reinstalling pokerTracker, for all the good it'll do me, lol and while i was at it, thought I'd give tableNinja a go, well, a months free trial, ho-hum .... seems like a real fancy amalgamation of AHK scripting but as I'm way to lazy to write my own ....
as I said, not hellish much going on, but I'll finish on a high note
A dwarf in London was thinking about looting a butchers, but the steaks were too high ....

no title .... (can you tell I aint been here awhile .... )
welcome back.
you thought .... I'd died ? , thankfully, no.
you thought .... I'd gone busto ? , hopefully, no.
you thought .... I'd .... probably, no.
It is a bit redic though, the gaps between posting, lol. Anyways, still here, still playing, just. After weeks of problems with the laptop, the HDD gave up the ghost, almost. I could only boot up in "safe mode" .... have you seen the size of the tables on a 1024*768 display ?? That alone is enough to make you give up !
After putting up with this for a few weeks .. cough cough .. I bit the bullet and bought a new hdd, got a copy of windows, ordered replacement media from those thieving cunts at Toshiba, in case the copy of windows was a wee bit suspect .... installed the new drive, installed windows, installed 37, yes thats THIRTY SEVEN drivers from Toshiba .... played for one night, and the next night my broadband dongle went tits up !!!!
After putting up with bt fon coverage for a week .... and you thought online poker was stressful, pfffft, .... I called 3-support .... after 31mins and 50secs .. the lovely Sirita told me to , get this, uninstall and reinstall my dongle software .... yep, worked first time ffs !
so I am back :) wheeee :)
As you can see, I do love to spout pish, as Zagga would say.
oh btw, stars balance hovering just over 1k .... should I move that to the top for all the lazy fuckers ?
finally, fucking awesome result on Sunday, stuffing the whining whinging wankers 4-2 .... God Save The Queen .... :) he he he he
and in case i go awol again, heres a wee joke, courtesy of Frances ....
I was in Curry's earlier when I asked my wife
"What's your favourite Teletubby ?"
"Tinky Winky" she replied.
"No you fat cunt, which TV do you want ?"
