Betfred $1000 Freeroll

Came 3rd for $135 after being down to 340 chips in Level 1 with KK v 66 6QQ on the flop.
Managed to already donate most of it back with these disasters
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4172191P Nut flush v Full House made on the end
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4172194P QQ v AA all in pre.At best I was up against AK silly me

Been cutting down trees in the garden today Strangely satisfying
Carshalton beat Tonbridge 3-2 to contest the Playoff final on Saturday where I will be at Fulham v That other team in Fulham for Sw6 bragging rights.Tough Choice really

Thank you Betfred for disconnecting me at this opportune moment

Strangely enough not a bad beat post.

Thanks for disconnecting me against the only hand that could beat me.
Been playing on Betfred today,don't know why,and i am getting fed up with the number of short stacks ,6 at 1 table is taking the piss.Obv I leave but I think IPokers points policy is to blame.If you are chasing points for their latest promo,why play 1 table with a full stack when you can play 5 with a minimum buy in and collect 5 lots of points.Obv if you have a rakeback deal instead then the above doesn't apply.
Budget update - In the next few years 79% of all that the UK produces will go to funding the failed banks.scarey prospect should have let em gone bust.

Yippee

I entered the Sun points freeroll today.144 runners and I won it for $675.Its been a while since my last victory and now I will be able to replace my smashed in screen lappie.Happy me now off to get v pissed.

Poker league online qualifiers

Played in one tonight 15 in 10 seats and i qualified so G Luton here I come.I am sure if they marketed it better there would have been more in it but I'm not complaining.
I spunked away lots of chips with trip Aces when lucky bollocks hit an unlikey gutshot on the end.
Last in chips A6 v A10 (A on flop) all in against same player and i fluke a 6 on the end.
I then rocked up and waited for the others to knock each other out.Set formula for sats really.
Footballwise Carshalton scored a last minute equaliser against the Sutton scum which keeps alive their play off hopes.V Enjoyable.
You can tell its the end of the Bank holiday weekend cos it was sunny today and will no doubt be tomorrow when everyone is back at work.
Still waiting for two lots of rakeback from my deals,its getting rather frustrating

Another away win

FFS 3-1 v Man City away.Had Man C to score first so won a few pennies and then Clint goes and scores 2.Etuhu has never shot in his life and scores a blinder.Nice 1 Dickson.
Is a Europa League spot within reach?
And my non league team Carshalton Athletic are still in the play off places.
Nice Sunday and I collected all 18 easter eggs in my hunt

How to counteract a downswing?

Any answers on a postcard.
I have lost any confidence that I had in my cash game so rather than skinning fishes over the Easter weekend i am playing silly tournaments,sit and goes and a bit of omaha.Any moves that I have tried to make recently fail and prove rather expensive as the other player inevitably has me beat.
Omaha got me thinking a bit more and proved a pleasant distraction.
SNGoes took me back a few years and they haven't changed much.
I lasted for about 3 hours in a freezeout tonight and finished in profit but it doesn't make up for the lack of cash action.

As the great Jim Morrison said

This is the end, my only friend the end.Poker League is finished.Ten last night for what was a dead rubber.
Highlights/Lowlights AJ v slowplayed AQ bye bye chippies.
RR AQs called by K7o flop KQ something.All in and I dealt the cards before he had even turned them over so an early night.
Another league starts 4th May.Will I be playing highly unlikely having to tell people what to do after 12 weeks is a bit tedious.
Last nights highlight was is 23456 higher or lower than A2345 straight.You couldn't make it up.
Rant re Ipoker network Why is it that when I suffer a disconnection an idiot has raised I have AA and it doesn't recognise my bet and folds me.This happens a little bit too much for my liking.

This morning Betfred bombed me out twice for no apparent reason .Its just not conducive to playing decent poker.

The poker gods have decreed its one of my losing days today

Who am I to disappoint them.Luckily managed to end up for a couple of bucks loss.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4066043P 1010v JQs
Even he said sorry at the end.With the flush draw I can see why he stayed in.He stacked with the same hand against someone elses AA.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4066036P AKv K8
Why do people call raises with K8 off and continue betting
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4066048P QQv KJs
Why call 5 times raises with KJs and bet big with the flush draw.Luckily my hero call paid off
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4066041P AKv KK
I go very lucky here checking top two pairs as did my oppo checking Trip Ks.Final card gave me the bigger FH and a small raise encouraged him to bet TY God
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4066041P 1010 v KK
The hand that brought me back.I raised got reraised and made a loose call and hit quads.he did all the betting and I stacked him.

No more poker today.A shame since I like Saturday afternoon sessions.
Fulham V Liverpool today. I might actually make kick off on time for once.Putney will be mobbed out with plastic scousers.A 5.30 kick off means a long day on the piss.
On the gout front I can almost walk properly unaided so i deserve a few beers.

Cash out curse,Doomswitch call it what you will

Surprise surpise a bad beat post.The poker gods have not been kind to me so far today,it all goes back to my theory of win one day lose the next.Time to change accounts.
After a nice day yesterday my withdrawal was approved which leads to the cash out curse.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4058479 AK v A2
Too passive here should have blown him away before his bingo card hit and I didn't believe.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4058483 KK v QJo
OOp so i raise with KK called he hits trips reraises I don't believe him and it costs me a buy in.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4058474 88 v AJo
This hand broke the camels back.I played it perfectly.90% to win and he hits magic card to clean me out.Another buy in down
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4058484 J10 v KJ
Played OOP hit magic card on end but was always beaten by a higher straight.

March Poker results

One word HORRIBLE.
I think the addition of the old Cypto players has made Ipoker much more nitty there seems to be a dearth of Fish even late at night.There are also too many short stackers that fuck up the tables.

I am still waiting for rakeback for one site,so now i have two months worth to get.Am a bit wary of this so i will not be playing there anymore.Silly freerolls only.
My other new site paid up into my neteller account straightaway,thats how I like it.
Betfred is still acting up so its only freerolls there.
Sunpoker is also a nono from now on since the initial bonus is finished.
Got a reload bonus on Mansion so thats a goer,so thats my two sites for the month.
