Poker dress,Poker league and other assorted crap

This is going to sound really strange but if I wear my Obama Anti Christ T shirt I lose at poker.I managed to donk away about $100 this evening whilst wearing it and won $120 once i had taken it off.I also have to wear plain black pants if they have a picture on them I lose.I also prefer to wear black T shirts whilst playing,strangely my Adolf Hitler one is the most successful.
Its all bollocks of course but it makes me feel better.

Seems like Jacqui Smith doesn't come across so her old man has to watch porn on TV at the taxpayers expense.I am just grateful that her expenses fell into the wrong hands.FFS they are going to have an enquiry about who leaked the info.I wonder how much longer she will last.But seriously would you want to shag Jacqui Smith?


I missed the fireworks at last weeks poker league where one of the clowns hit quads twice against the same player to send him over the edge.
This week I fiddled the tables so I wasn't on the clowns table,I don't feel this is cheating but i like to play more than 5 hands in an 18 minute level.Our table had most of the decent players so was quick and some decent poker played except for one who misread the board thinking he had a straight mistaking a 6 for a 5 losing quite a few chips in the process.Once the tables merged I managed to go out straight away.
Short Stack all in,3 callers I had A5s,and hit my A,went all in as did 2 others.I was up against A 10(Big stack) and A7 and gobby cows crap.The 10D hit as did another.Shorty had 2d 4 and hit a flush.I outchipped the others and went out in 6th.So it looks like I won't be playing at Luton.

On the bus home I managed to bang my gout ridden toe with my other foot whilst opening up my nurofen for the pain.V Ironic.

Some goodies and baddies from the weekend

It must be payday because i have seen some horrible play being rewarded,quite a lot of it by me.When i review some sessions in the cold light of day I shudder.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4045972 AA V KK.Money all in,he hits trips and I hit a 4 card backdoor straight.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4045959 Raise with 25 suited priced in all the way by idiot slowplaying QQ and hit on the end.
I have tried this several times since and it fails miserably.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4045949 32 suited hit 2 pairs.Idiot goes all in with tp and hits his second pair
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4045936 Trip Qs v Flushdraw which doesn't hit.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4045930 Strange bluff on the end but I suppose it was the only way he could win.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4045924 Surprised I didn't get more in the end when he hit his trip Jacks


I also managed to finish 6th for $100 in a VIP Freeroll.My exit hand hurt and cost me another $100.I am dealt K 10o in BB.Idiot raises with 55 and I go all in as a short stack.Flop A 10 7.Yippee.Turn the dreaded 5.river no help so I'm out.

Saturday Morning Stupidity

Although I finished up it could have been so much better.I have now hit my target of 5 star target at my rakeback site so now i can just play for money rather than points.The last couple of days I have just been shortstacking to get points which is partic boring and not something I plan on doing again.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?4038000 Only 90% to win when I hit my trips,of course he hits his two outer.Nice start to my session.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4038006 why does this never happen when I slowplay AA.Luckily the river saved me some cash.session gets even better.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4038010 I got my own back with this though.nice well disguised straight.I should have left at this point.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4038016 give me the odds and I will call.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4038019 After a review I played this terribly but trip aces is one of my downfall hands.I must learn to respect peoples reraises.

Poker league

Another fascinating evening.Drawn on the toughest table and not even a pair dealt in an hour.after last weeks limpathon I decided to play aggressively when i hit so I limped with KQs in late position and hit my King.Checks all around(see the irony),next card put out the flush draw so i bet big and got a loose player calling me,last card a blank so he checks i rr ai he calls and shows AK.Goodnight Vienna luckily an early nite.
I am getting fed up with amateurs having to be told what to do all the time,if they spent more time paying attention rather than fucking about it would make the game far more enjoyable.
this evening after an hour of dealing with idiots I had had enough it just wasn't enjoyable for me,The hollywood dwell ups just aren't needed in our game-when there isn't a full orbit in 18 minutes something is wrong.
KQo or suited is becoming a problemhand for me at the mo esp online where I have been taking my fair share of outdraws.I can't believe the crap that people are calling and hitting with.Someone said to me if you get it in when you are infront then don't worry about the outdraws.It saddens me when my bankroll is being depleted by total dorks,
Now when I 3 bet I am being reraised and when i make a stand getting beaten its v annoying i wish it would happen the other way round sometimes.

Super Whites 2 South Surrey X1 0

Only 10 minutes late for this,one day public transport will work properly.Early enough to see Scholes being sent off and Murphys perfect penalty.What followd was the best 30 minutes of football by Fulham since Jean Tigana left.We made Man U loo like a Sunday park side.In the 2nd half their 10 men played really well and I thought they had sneaked an extra man on.Still in the end Zoltan Gera scored a fantastic 2nd goal to wrap up the victory.Highlights for me were Ronaldo's petulance stamping his feet like a 2 year old,how he wasn't sent off i will never know.
Rooney followed him in acting like a spoilt brat and was rightly dismissed.
We shoved their Champions of England Chamions of Europe right up their arse.
lets hope its not another 45 years to saviour victory

Since Monday

I am 10 buy ins down over my accounts since Monday.I just don't know what the fuck is going on. AAv KK a K hits. Trips V Flush Draw he hits it. 2 Pair V Higher 2 Pair. Set over Set.It's sending me on megatilt.I could go on but whats the point the sofa has taken a real battering this week.Oh and my gout is back.Its only taken me 2 hours to find the nurofens

Wien und a Fulham away win.

I will have to go away more often,a nice weekend in Vienna,decent beer and Fulham win their first away game of the season.

This mornings fuckwit hand against a real moron.This guy raised with any two so I had to lower my starting hands.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3988488 Why oh why did the Queen arrive at the end for a split.Its like a loss

About time I posted some hands from the last few days

There are lots of hands below and any comments would be gratefully received.

As I am going away i won't be playing on Friday 13th cos the last one cost me lots.
Another Home Fulham defeat this evening against a lower slide.that's 3 on the trot,with our next two at home being Man U and Liverpool can't see where the next win is coming from.We still have not managed an away victory so again no points there.Historically one team plummets towards relegation at the end of the season so now maybe the time to have a little punt on Fulham being relegated.

HANDS

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969428 QQ hasn't been my hand of choice recently being a net loser.I had seen this guy check raise his trips earlier so I felt I was always ahead.Obv the fourth Queen helped.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969440
I only called with 66 because of the big stack and luckily the other guy did the betting for me.Fortunately he doesn't see a pair on board as a threat to his nut flush
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969456
Bit of stupidity from me and my 2 pairs he was drawing to the nut flush with top pair and hit and I stupidly paid him off.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969473
More stupidity from me AJs is not a calling hand for me normally.Hitting TPTK and then 2Pairs didn't help.I guessed I was behind and he showed KK,cos he was a new player I paid him off.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969489
Wondering whether I missed a value bet on the end because he checked his busted Flush Draw
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969503
Had a feeling this bloke was a twat and I was right only a shortie though.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969515
As above

A few hands from my previous day of hell
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969525 QQ v 55 didn't see the danger.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969534 when tight passive players reraise your bet they probably have a better hand than your 2 pairs.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969546 big bet when hitting trips worrying about the flush draws not the made straight.Again against a TPP

Some Betfred/Sun disasters
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969565 Idiot bets on up and down when i have top trips I should have reraised him all in before he hit his card.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969580 I have no idea what I was doing in this hand and looking back still don't
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969587 This hand bugs me.The player is tight Aggressive.He reraises my pot sized bet with JJ and calls my reraise.therefore prob not AA.I bet a low flop and he calls.The next card is a Q which is another of his possible holdings so i check and he checks behind.The final card is a Jack and i pay him off because although i think I am beaten I don't think he has AK or a flush.expensive lesson.I wonder if he would have called if I had bet the Queen.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969672 The board saved me here I can't see how you call a 12x reraise with 99 though(again a TA player) and obv my attempt at representing a flush failed.I think a big bet at the end may have worked but i was playing scared at this stage
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969659 Trips v FH think I got away cheaply,my kicker helped.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969646 Nut flush trying to be clever v Full House on the end luckily a short stack.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969628 Being a non believer again Trips not good enough.These straights are killing me.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969623 Fuck me i found a semi bluff.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3969614
Finally a Betfred hand that i won but again missed a value raise on the end.

Its nice to go through HHs sometimes to see what errors you have made and mull over future strategies

Poker League week 6 Betfred etc

Poker league v disappointing this week.The league leader was away so I had a great chance to make up some ground.First level dealt KK raise 6x bb and get called by mega fish whose first game it was of the season.Pretty drawy flop but no magic Ace bet and get called twice.Fishy turns over 10 8 for disguised straight so out in 1st level.I have played him before socially and he is of the any two will do school.Mrs P played as a guest and came third/fourth just out of the money.The organiser of the League turned up and gave us all a lesson in the rules which was good,in future the game will be better for it.He played and was dealt AA first hand reraised against one player and obv. doubled up i'm glad I threw away my 55.He did give me some valuable pointers.

One of my new sites has just given me $257 for Feb rakeback and i am still waiting for another to cough up.

Other news is the Betfred lag.I have complained to them and their response is that Skybroad is something to do with AOL so its not their problem.Yesterday's debacle was I folded KK and AQs which waiting for table to allow me to bet.Needless to say this put me on megatilt and I'm sure my neighbours think I suffer from Tourettes.Due to this I have withdrawn my bankroll from Betfred and will only play in their freerolls etc.

I won't be playing for the rest of the week cos i am taking Mrs P to Vienna for our anniversary.I would have gone last weekend but she wanted to watch Fulham V Man U in the FA Cup which was a great way to spend a Saturday.As well as getting stuffed 4-0 we missed last orders in two different pubs by a minute each and to add insult to injury saw the bus pull off just as we wanted to get home.All in all a horrible wasted day

The bitch is better than me

Me and Mrs P decided to play the $30 freezout on I Poker this evening for a last longer bet.I managed to fluke a cash but Mrs P is still there in the final 20 or so,sick isn't the right word for me. Go Mrs P(Dear21) I am very proud of you but I will never tell you that.She ain't got a clue but she's a superb tornie player.Love her to bits but i never tell her I must be one sick f*ck.Taking her away for our 2nd anniversary on Monday which hopefully be fun.I love her to bits which is sick but I don't care.

The Good the bad and the ugly

There's a Clint season on Sky at the moment
The Good
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3943061
You are always supposed to slowplay Quads,like fuck when a fool keeps raising you.
The Bad
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3943048
1st hand at table 81% to win at Turn hit trips but hitting trips at River makes his lucky straight.The worst thing is that he tried to justify AQo being an all in hand
The Ugly
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3943034
This must go down as the worst bluff ever by me.I represented AA with the 3rd raise.Ace on the flop after being called so went All in against the obvious AA from my opponentand surprisingly lost to AA.

Today me and the missus have had the battle of the chocolate.Firstly she hid the nice French sweeties than I like.She won't eat jaffa cakes so gives them to me whilst scoffing the nice choccy biscuits which she won't share,once she clarifies this I get my Fazermints(her fav) out of the fridge and won't share also.Game Set and Match to me.

You know its not your day when

Betfred has lag probs.I was playing cash and a silly freeroll when the tornie table breaks up,unfortunately this freezes for over a minute and i am dealt AA on cash table.Idiot raises in EP and I get timed out so can't take advantage but I won 20c in the freeroll.I do npt know what the prob is with site but it always does this and it gets very frustrating.Luckily no more damage was done to laptop and mouse.1 more torny tonight and then its goodbye Betfred.Now i have calmed down and looked at HH i would have been up against AJ with 2 Js on the board so I saved $$ LOL not

Poker League week 5

Finished 4th this week when I limped J10 and hit 2p 2 diamonds called by JQ and 36s.Guess which hand won.The shame is that it was gobby cow.Still 2nd in the league and it looks like only 1 will get the seat to Luton.
Other goodies KK v AKs which held up and sp KKv QQ and J2s which held.I even folded a straight 1st hand against the obvious flush.
The game was spoilt a one of the big stacks betting big blind I doubled up with trip 10s so can't complain but if you don't wanna play sit out and be blinded away not donating it spoils the dynamics of the game.
Relatives have been over and are now back.had a couple of days of sightseeing and was knackered.
Me and the missus played pissed on sunday I happily spent 5.50 to win 7.63 in my torny.But she surpassed herself playing in the $7500 Guarantee R/A spending $15.50 and final tabling 6th for $355. its more than I have ever won and I was v happy with her.I won't mention the other $80 she pissed away in other tornies.

Other rant feel sick for the Sri Lankan cricket team for being attacked by ???.I wonder why the gunmen all managed to escape.Its about time they were banned from all forms of cricket(they need us the aussies etc a darn sight more than we need them)and left to live in their insular society.
