welcome back, gentle reader.
a summary as promised. now dont get too excited and dont expect these every day.
had a few cold ones last nite, so needed somewhere to donk about, at micro stakes as well :)
fired up a crypto site and found they do stt's for 10c 20c and 50c :)
played 6x 10c and 6x 20c and 6x50c and 6x $1 ( $10.80 + buy-in). finito - one first place for $15
but how can that be ?
seems one of the "stt's" i sat at was actually a 30-man mtt ... which I took down :)
lmao ! no, really really lmao :))
a step in the right direction.

de Ave Phoenice - Lactantius ( phoenix part ii )
welcome back, gentle reader.
just a quick report, a summary report, if you will, of the general state of play over the preceeding few days. I will do this type of report, hopefully, once a week. Probably more for me than for you but if you are interested, then the posts with this title will give you the birds eye view !! without any boring in depth analysis, bad beats, superb plays et all.
I will post hands beats donkey plays shark plays et all, but in other posts.
tuesday - 1 stt at betfair for $5, solid play, no walk of shame, no itm, ran my AJ into AQ, finito 6th
wednesday - 3 off stt at bodog for $3, solid play, no walk of shame, but itm. finito - two 2nd's and one 1st (2x$9 + 1x$15)
a step in the right direction.

welcome back.
as I said, I wrote the preceeding post a number of days ago.
Now there is no need to worry about me. I have not joined the AA nor indeed have I converted to a born again christian :) I will still enjoy the odd tipple or three, just not where poker is concerned, thats all.
I was prompted to write the post after a quick 'roll check. Imagine my horror at being in the red ! and having to admit to you lot I was a losing player ... ouch !! How can you gain the respect of your peers, if, in varying degrees, you are, literally, pissing your winnings up against the garden wall.
When all is said and done, I find it rather embarrassing. Especially since I "know" I am better than the average donkey and I could, should, be making money rather than flushing it doon ra pan.
Interesting to see how high I can fly.

what the fuck am I going to do, I mean, really, what the fuck am I going to do ?
well, there's oor kenny, spilling the personal beans, and organising a charity bash ...
da gambler, hopefully back on track, more or less starting from scratch ...
the nut man, losing a little here and there, but winning more and heading in the right direction ...
sourpuss, playing first time live and hitting the final table for a nice nice payout ...
the injun, rocking and rolling (and revelling) in his stt (and mtt?) challenges ...
and the badass female dog going great, so long as she avoids her tilt monster ...
and Mr & Mrs, both doing well, thank you very much ...

do any of you fcukers have a real job ??!!!!
and daddy ! oh daddy, what have I done to you daddy ?
he wants to come play the darkside ... my darkside ... he he he
"Take your Jedi weapon ! Use it.
Strike me down with all of your hatred,
and your journey towards the dark side will be complete"
plO8 and H.O.R.S.E. and then your training will, indeed, be complete
(sorry, but I just love that line ! get used to it, you'll see it more often than not)
to cap it all, jesus H christ on a fcuking bike ...
the mighty fuel55 reads my blog ... sometimes ... maybe ...
ffs he left an official comment, nay, advice actually, which is good enough for me !
so what's the problem ? what the hell am I babbling about ? what is the point ??
I got into online poker a couple or three years back. Lost a coupla k first year lost a coupla k second year and this year I am keeping my head above water, just.
and then I stumbled across a poker blog.
you know, I have zero recollection of what I was actually looking for when I found his blog ... luckily for me it was a rather good blog. Lurkerdom here I come ... and he put up with my silly questions ... some of his readership were kind enough to point me in the right direction :) and some of these guys were playing for serious money ! the fact that they acknowledged me was ... cool ... and he was a brit ... and so I started reading all sorts of poker blogs, mostly american,
then I stumbled across the nut man ... who did not seem too freaked that he had a regular lurker ... he he he. and then came the britbloggerment :) gave me a little focus, something to look forward to on a weekend.
you see, I was (am) the kid on the rubber raft, blown out to sea and no oars ! drifting idly along, playing whatever took my fancy of an evening. win a little lose a little win a lot lose a lot ... now you lot have seen me play. won the bloggerment twice, in the money a coupla times, so I dont think I am the worst player in the world, even tho' nlhe is not my game ... he he he doesn't mean I cant play the game tho' ... but why oh why am I drifting along ??
well, over the past few months, all my poker play has been accompanied by alcohol. now, I am not talking large quantities or falling down drunk style - but alcohol none the less and its been showing in my results.
I knew something was amiss and a quick count of my complete bankroll told the story - since 20th April this year, I have dropped $160 ... not a huge amount, acceptable for a confirmed recreational player ?
As I said, not huge amounts of alcohol, but enough to affect my judgement ... my play suffered and I also noticed I was staying up too late ... other things were starting to suffer as well ...
Not any more baby, not any more.
So now I have my own challenge. Sober poker only and get the 'roll back in the black.

Pugh! Pugh! Barney McGrew! Cuthbert! Dibble! Grubb! (part 2 )
welcome back, gentle reader, welcome back
the "conversation" with the policeman took place at the bottom of the stairs. Scott then shot off to mrs dD, complaining bitterly that I had not let him talk on the phone. I siezed the opportunity and shot off to the bathroom ... locking the door behind me ... and had a long, cool shower. Giving me time to reflect upon the ingenuity of children. Scott is not quite 5 years old and Callum has just turned 3 :)
Dear sweet Hannah, your formative years will certainly be ... interesting !!
After showering, I slip quietly upstairs and get dressed, heading back downstairs with a rueful smile on my face. I know fine well that there is now going to be a "conversation" with mrs dD and I don't think my 27o is gonna crack her bullets.
I pick up the pace and breeze into the living room, heading for the kitchen, she looks up and gives me the look ... I feel my smile fading, stopping in my tracks without conscious thought ... bugger
mrs dD - well ?
dD - what ?
mrs dD - you know ... the phone call ... well ?
dD - hmmm ... phone call ? ( I look innocently at the landline phone in the corner )
smiling mrs dD - hmmm ... yes .... the one on your mobile ... earlier ... this morning
and now the mood insta changes ... suddenly I am 5 years old ...
mrs dD - well, was it the police ?
dD - ah well yes ... see ...
mrs dD - calling about phantom 999 calls ?
dD - ah well yes ... see ...
mrs dD - Callum was down here an hour ago, telling me that Scott was calling the police
dD - oh ... oh ... did he ... oh ...
Callum - see daddy ! I told mummy ... Scott had phone ... calling policeman !!
Scott sits quietly, grinning from ear to ear, looking well pleased with himself, the cat thats got the cream :)
mrs dD - are they sending someone here ?
dD - no, no ... not this time ....
mrs dD - just as well, you would have been the one answering the door ...
she flashes me that look, dismissed daddy, conversation terminated.
I shake my head dejectedly and slope off to the kitchen, seeking a cup of tea that will lift my spirits. After all, the whole of this mornings shenanigans, laid firmly and squarely on my doorstep, ho hum.

welcome back, gentle reader.

The Far Side
welcome back, gentle reader
two things, well probably three but who's counting ?
first off, there will be some surprised people about ! this meander is actually poker related ?!
a quick roundup of 6 tournies I played the other night, for the easily bored, I monied in four of the little buggers :) and the proof is in the pudding ...

ok so I am not the best player in the world, nor am I the worst but I was wondering if I am wasting my time, donking around in the bargain basement levels ??
I have just done a quick count of money I have scattered far and wide, over loads of sites, comes to roughly $1000 give or take. Should I pool this money together and move up a level or two ? or just continue to donk around and not worry if I lose a load of tournies or a buy-in here or there ?
damn ! its after 10 on a friday nite and I have not played a single hand, later dear readers.

" Start Your Engines "
okely dokely boys and girls - lets get this show on the road !
compared to my usual meandering narratives, this is going to be oh so short !
(massive meander next, you have been warned)
in response to Mik's suggestion of trying to run a WSOPB (World Series of Online Poker Bloggers) event, I thought I'd better start harping on about it, sooner rather than later. Mik suggests about ten events so I 'll up the ante a little ... not that we are going to run all these ... but here is a list of the events being played at the little shindig across the pond as we speak. (can we get a better title ??)
mixed hold'em
NLHE
PotLimit HE
hilo omaha hilo stud
PLO8
7 card stud
NLHE short handed
H.O.R.S.E.
limit hold'em
7 card stud hilo
Razz
limit 2-7 triple draw lowball
S.H.O.E.
feel free to leave a comment, stating which events you would be interested in playing. Personally, I will give them all a go if the interest was there :) A little ambitious ? well, yes it is, but I'd be happy if we could garner enough interest to run only 7 events.
Again, which site to play on ? More than happy to play on several ... why give it all to one when we could spread the load. I suspect one of the thornier issues will be the starting times for events. My own playing time is certainly more limited and restricted, than most !
I can usually only play in the evening and after nine at that, if all goes well when I get home from work.
We could play one event each evening or even two events if there is only going to be limited numbers. Mik suggested that we need perhaps 20 people ... I think we could get away with a single full table for most events and still call it a success !! twenty people for multiple events is a lot of people and a lot of peoples time, methinks.
Cmon people, we are all poker players of some description, show a little faith.
