Its been an interesting 2 1/2 years.Trips to Rome, Donetsk and Hamburg are something I never thought I would do as a Fulham fan.
A 3 year deal at Liverpool has certainly sorted out your pension fund.

Off to Rome to see Bennie

2009-11-03T06:41:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow's the big day travelling to Rome to watch Fulham.When I think back to the old 4th Div football we used to endure.I would like to thank Micky Adams for starting our rise and Chairman Mo for delivering Prem footie and Woy Hodgson for Europa League qualification and my mum and dad for having me and Mrs P for tolerating me.

Do amercians understand that Southpark is taking the piss out of them or is it just above them?

2009-10-30T17:09:00.000-07:00

Also does the Comedy channel just buy cheap american crap that is totally unfunny?

2009-10-20T04:24:00.000-07:00

I have just started reading Phil Hellmuth's FBI book of tells and I went to the Intl to see if I could put any of it into practice.Played in the £25 deep and steep here yesterday with some of my friends.30 runners and I came 2nd for £188.2 visits 2 cashes.I was beaten by that star of Dragon's Den JJ Hazan.I was short stacked throughout the FT and just played a waiting game to climb up the ladder.JJ gives lessons at the table and some of his plays and analysis were quite frankly appalling.Unfortunately my Ipod ran out of batteries so I had to listen to the table talk.Yet again I think £30 provides a nice afternoon which set us up for the Fulham game.The first half was pretty crap but a goal made up for it esp when Bobby Z scores.He also laid on the 2nd for Dio.The highlight was obv the abuse that Greedy bastard Bullard got.Enjoy life in the Championship Jimmy.I will be going to Fulham v Roma on thursday what will you be doing Jimmy?

Result

2009-10-16T10:20:00.000-07:00

Just found a $39 token on Mansion that I had forgot about.Played a 6 man sng and took it down for $126.
Yesterday we had some builders in to do some laminate flooring and then my community support officier dropped around wanting me to fill in a survey.He was a likable fellow so I agreed. 5 minutes isn't too long out of the day but 2 and a half hours later I was at the end of my tether.
The survey was conducted on his laptop which took him 15 mins toset up.He spent another 15 minutes working out where I lived on some computerized A to Z map.Do bear in mind he is my LOCAL CSO so patrols the area daily.Then he wanted to know where I go in the local area.I gave him this and he was again unaware of these local places so we again searched his computerized A to Z.
We recently had an intruder in the house and found the old bill to be quite competent so I felt obliged to still be civil to Bob.
Next came the most facile set of questions that I have ever had the misfortune to have to answer re anti social behaviour etc, the computerised A to Z came out again so he could plot Incident points on his survey.
Finally more irrelevant questions such as How did the Council respond to your burgalry.
MY ANSWER They did Fuck all because we never told them.I was unaware you are supposed to tell the council I thought that was the job of the Police
How would you rate them from 1 to 10.
Er Zero because we never told them.
This just went on and on and I was getting pissed off.I wanted a beer and a shower and couldn't because of this clown.
I bet the bloke was on overtime as well cos he had to do 4 of these in a day

A Trip to Wilkinson's

2009-10-12T07:36:00.000-07:00

My Oyster card had run out so into the newsagent to top it up.
Unfortunately man in the shop didn't know how to use the Oyster machine.
On the job training can't be that hard.
Put card on reader. enter amount of credit in the machine and tear off receipt,its not rocket science.
For those who don't know Wilkinson's is a cross between Woolworth's,Poundland and Lidl.My brother told me they had some good value bulbs for the garden.
The queue for paying was full of fat chavs plus prams with the obligatory brown baby.Is it only fat bingo winged white women that they choose to procreate with.
Of course the children are screaming for no reason (prob to do with E numbers) and then one slipped over and burst out crying.Chav mum did nothing,Fortunately I had my Ipod on to drown out this crap.
Of course you are served by some spotty little teenager who obv. hadn't seen a ten pound note before.
Then a bus trip home during school kicking out time O what joy.

wot a morning

2009-10-09T02:05:00.000-07:00

Since 9 o clock last nite i am down in 11 out of 13 sessions.
Highlights
AA v Q10 chasing Gutshot fwitt
Trip K's v chasing Flushdraw fwitt
KK v AA Obv etc
I am sure its variance.
I feel a freeroll day coming on

I have lost the will to live Bad beat central.

2009-09-25T04:19:00.000-07:00

I can safely say I have not won any 50/50s today.Overpairs up against trips.Straights against dodgy flushes. etc
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4726820P This is the one that has finally done it for me.Of course when I make a disguised straight Opponent has a big blind special and bet it.Of course I paid him off.
Luckily I am going off on holiday soon,it can't come too soon.

The International Club

2009-09-22T07:03:00.000-07:00

Yesterday me and a friend visited the new incarnation of the Gutshot to play in their £25 deep and steep afternoon tournament.
The new place is more roomy and has a decent air-con.
Its dealer dealt now which speeded up the game.
24 runners £3 top up for 1500 extra chips and a 15 minute clock.
Its a great improvement from the old place but I feel £5 juice for a £25 torny is a bit over the top.
The bar has bottles only which was a bit of a pain
After about 3 1/2 hours I finished 3rd for £92 which was a nice result.
I am looking forward to my next visit.

Some goodies from today
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4717401P Bit worried here but what a result

Off on the Fulham flyer for the CSKA Sofia v Fulham game tomorrow.Should be quite an interesting couple of days.

Sometimes its nice to have a few wines/beers with the missus and play poker

2009-09-11T16:22:00.000-07:00

We played the $7500 rebuy on Ipoker tonite and both cashed.$30 for her and $57 for me,It was fun and no pressure although she never listens.I am still in the $1000 silly bollocks freeroll and might get $1.20 whoppee fucking do,maybe $1.30.

Shame about my new account

Today I had the misfortune to watch Big Brother

2009-09-02T13:45:00.000-07:00

6 people left - 3 raving arse bandits,1 dyke,1 raghead terrorist and a blonde bimbo.
To watch these queens mincing about. arguing about hair straighteners and not wanting to be the stylist for their task was truly repulsive.
I pray that this crap never makes a reappearance on any TV Channel.

So I have gone over to the dark side and got a Pokerstars account?

2009-09-02T05:27:00.000-07:00

Why do people rave about this site?I only opened the account so somebody could pay me the rake that I was owed.It offered me a massive $50 bonus and no Rakeback.Soon after the initial bonus gets increased to $600.Great timing by me.Messed about on the 10c tables and got nowhere.Came home pissed one night played £1 FR tables and I was off and running.Now quite happy at the 50c tables and have cleared my bonus,earnt a silver star and got my free books through InternetTexasHoldem.They have already been delivered from the States.
This month all the little wannabes are wanking over the fact that there is a points bonus.
500 FPP =$8.
2500 FPP = $40.
To get this I will pay more in rake.I just don't understand what is so great about this site apart from the fact that the gay raise is still respected.It has made a pleasant change from Ipoker and does give me the chance to play against americans.
I won a silly tornie last night and am currently leading in my Mansion League.I gave out some horrendous beats out though.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4650288P This was my favourite.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4650295P Always ahead but final card nice.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4650301P You always need to win these.

More importantly than poker we got a cat at the weekend from Battersea Dogs Home(where else).Little Jessie is a lovely little girl but a bit shy.

Gutshot poker

2009-08-13T14:39:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I feel i am too negative on my blog whinging about badbeats and poor customer service.So today I would like to congratulate Gutshot(Cake network) for actioning my transfer to Neteller within 2 minutes.If only Mansion,Sunpoker and Pokerplex could act as quickly I would be a happy bunny.Why does a transfer take 4 working business days when a transfer in is instaneous.
My account with Celebpoker is now set up at Ipoker and again kudos to their customer support.Their site was down but it was running when they said it would,an error I pointed out on their website was corrected within 10 minutes.WTF is going wrong people seem competent.
I do have 1 rant though.
On the news tonight there was a story about OAP's being scammed and giving their Credit cards plus Pin numbers to scammers pretending to be the old bill.
Now fuckwits if you give these details and are told to be quiet about it you deserve everything that comes to you,I have no sympathy whatsoever.
Mrs P is trying to put a shoerack together I hope it won't take as long as the 3 hours for the barbecue that should have been assembled within 15 mins LOL

Rays101bassman Mansion League

2009-08-11T14:35:00.000-07:00

Final game in League tonite at Ray101bassman's forum.Managed to fluke a win and come 2nd in the League.Few more pennies for me.Unfortunately I am finished with Mansion until they give me another bonus cos I don't get RB there.I signed up with Pokerstrategy to get their $50 free starting capital.Its worth it to play on a silly one off account.

I have just got a new deal with Celebpoker,thru Texaswheel ,up until tonite they are on the Boss network which is a 30% RB deal which will be grandfathered over.I needed a new account and if any of the BOSS players come over there will be rich pickings at IPoker again.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?4571621P A bit of a cooler but luckily he was a short stack.

Cash/tornies.

2009-08-04T15:43:00.000-07:00

Another day where Cash hasn't been King(AA again) but I'm 3 for 3 in the $20 Double or Nothings which makes up for it.I wonder how much longer it can last I am even running Super Hot on Sharkscope.I also cashed in my League tornie and am looking good for for a League prize,only one more game to go and I'm in the money positions.Now off to play another silly freeroll on a new site but after a bottle of red I don't really rate my chances.

Odd day

2009-08-03T13:53:00.000-07:00

Been raped at cash today(I believe in the win one day/lose one day algorithim on IPoker) but won 2 $20 DON's,accumulated enough Mansion points for a 50k points bonus which is enough for 5 more DON's.Taken my money out now as I've hit the monthly points target and will reload when they give me another cash bonus.I had AA cracked by Q10 o and some halfwit started baiting me unfortunately it worked.I had AA again and only min raised,he chased I played too passively and of course he hit on the end and I paid him off.So I accepted defeat and left and cashed out.
Played a bit on Pokerstars today and genuinely can't see why everyone raves about it.Still I gotta play there to release my First Deposit Bonus.
On Cake I have moved up a level and its far more aggressive I guess I need to get used to USA aggression.

Lots of silly tornies today

2009-08-02T15:46:00.000-07:00

Only prob was 2 on Ipoker(diff sites) at the same time requiring my old broken lappie.
Cashed in a Sun points freeroll for $30,Pokerplex in a points freeroll for $100(shortstacked for ages) and Pokerstars for the massive sum of $8.
Now its back to cash grinding for my rakeback and silly bonuses.
Went to Carshalton for a pre season friendly yesterday,v enjoyable and will be at Fulham on Thursday for the Europa League game against FK Vetra.Hopefully it will be a cricket score.
I hope we can give Bobby Robson a decent send off,a true gentleman of the game.

Haven't had one of these for a while

Interesting weekend

2009-07-27T09:58:00.000-07:00

Mrs P has gone away to Cub camp for a week leaving me helpless.I had use Tesco's online shopping to get some fags cos I'm too bone idle to walk 50 yards to the shops.Excellent service I must say.
Dear if you are reading this I did do the washing up last night and the Kitchen is tidyish.
My new laptop is great I purchased Pokertracker3 and am still getting to grips with it,The HUD does seem to get in the way at times but 4 tables is quite comfortable.
I have been banned from a Poker forum,not really worth getting into but that's a first.
I also have my very own Care In the Community internet stalker.Welcome halfwit.That's fun but I blame the lovely MRS THATCHER for that,before her they were all locked away and kept out of harms way.CIC just doesn't work.
Spent all day yesterday playing poker and listening/watching Leonard'Chuckles' Cohen and the BBC Glastonbury programmes.There was really great stuff there.This is why I have my special 'silly freeroll' fund to purchase tickets for next year for me and Mrs P.

2009-07-24T13:49:00.000-07:00

Gbookie pays me $18.50.All goes to my Glastonbury fund for next year.
My Bluesquare rakeback(from FEB) of $160 was paid into my Pokerstars account.
I win a silly Pacific freeroll for $37.50.
Now if I could only book a flight to Lithuania my day would be complete watching the mighty Fulham in the Europa League next week.
I found one but they don't take US of UK credit cards which seems strange.

How long should it be before you start whinging about debt

2009-07-23T14:51:00.000-07:00

Gutshot have a silly Gbookie competition that should have paid out on 11 th July its now the 23rd so wheres my dosh.
Eat My Stack forum started a rakeback deal with Bluesquare in January.I am still waiting for my rakeback 5 months later.
The amounts are immaterial but are they taking the piss?
I manage to have my under the table deals paid on a monthly basis.
So am i the fool to trust so called reputable sites or should I stick to the iffy ones that seem to pay on time.
At the end of the day i have bills to pay.
Any thoughts.?

New laptop

2009-07-23T06:34:00.000-07:00

Currys is inhabited/staffed by morons.I don't want your silly extras,I want your tills to work and a plastic bag for my purchases.The idiot had to go to PC World down the road to find me a plastic bag.What a fucking shambles.
I now have a 17 inch screen that doesn't have a hole in it like my last laptop.I wonder how long it will be until I smash this one up with a badbeat.
Went to the dentist again today and found out I am no longer an NHS patient(TY for telling me I had to ask),£50 lighter for a check up and an xray plus they want another £90 to clean my teeth.I think I will stay looking like Johnny Rotten.

Site 2 45 % paid on a timely basis,get points basically to play in weekly freeroll that used to be free,not allowed to use their shop for goodies.In July they decided to remove my points for no reason,ring up help desk twice and fuck all is done.
I need a new rakeback site.

Why on a sunday?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?4384213P Bout time I flopped an unlikely straight.It happens to me often enough.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?4384232P Sometimes I hit.Nice when its againsy a loose player with AA.

You always win when you are trying to lose.
How true

A new start

2009-06-08T01:02:00.000-07:00

Over the last week I have only mucked about with freerolls and micro cash at Gutshot.I recd $30 from them in a silly competition and cashed in one of their freerolls so I have a starting roll.No PT so just play on instinct.The outdraws are still there but I am building my roll steadily and have even earnt a couple of dollars in rakeback
I actually won a 1000 player freeroll on Betfred yesterday 5hours for the massive sum of $11.
The missus has got a job and starts today so I have the house to myself again so I can have my Tourette filled rants when I am 1 outered.
I went to the Derby on Saturday,numbers done due to the weather.1 place in 6 races that I still managed to lose money on.

I'm so excited

Doomswitch day

2009-05-24T04:32:00.000-07:00

I should have known it was going to be a bad day when Pokerplex locked me out even though I have autologin.4 calls later 3 of which were cut off and I was back online.I thought I was almost civil to the helpdesk.Obv not.So my doomswitch was on.
This was my first hand
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4272502P
Made straight v 2 pair and he/she /it hits.
I have stopped for the day off to Fulham v Everton and the hope of european football.

About time I posted some hands and gardening and a bit of footie.

2009-05-20T16:53:00.001-07:00

Now I always go through HH's after a session win or lose to see if i have played Ok.The winning/losing isn't important just to know that I have played Ok.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?4259531P A genuine 1 outer luckily he wasn't a full stack.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?4259520P Sometimes my hands hold up
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4259520P Sometimes I even get paid off when I hit
I suppose it all evens out.I just think of the 45% rakeback.My other account still has paid me from February and i am fed up with the excuses needless to say 20% RB and the rest to a forum that I subscribe to can stick it.Never play there again.
One of my other deals is for sponsorship to tornies so I will be playing in Event 1 of ECOOP.Got to spend the money somehow.

Onto more imp matters.In my house some cunt planted a Russian Vine,commonly known as 'Mile a minute' plant,I wonder why.Its the most invasive plant ever so spent the evening cutting it back and pilling it out of my trees it's a bastard job.Had a v exciting day at the garden centre I was like a little boy in a sweet shop.Has to be done before the weekend bank holiday hordes.I might even go again tomorrow.How sad.

Fulham beat Newcastle and are in prime position for the Europa Cup.A Spurs defeat(2 Yiddo brothers in the family) or a point against Everton should seal it.After last seasons relegation dogfight its a pleasant surprise.

Daytime TV

2009-05-18T06:59:00.000-07:00

I just watched a prog called Moving On on BBC1.It was very thought provoking not something I am accustomed to in the afternoon.If you get the chance watch it.Its possibly the best advert for stereotypes since the South Park episode that had the Goobacks in.

Has this ever happened to you?

2009-05-15T13:13:00.000-07:00

You make it to heads up in a tournament as chip leader and then McAFee decides to run a full scan without being prompted.This freezes your poker site and makes you sit out.The other player of course raises every hand with a fury amassing a massive chip lead.You can only helplessly watch your chip stack diminsh.Luckily it was only for a few dollars.I was frantically clicking buttons wondering why everything had frozen cursing Sky broadband etc. and then saw the offending MCAfeeflasing light.
Oh well you live and learn.

After deciding I didn't want another points bonus,rakeback sites only from now on,I cashed my points for 6 $20 tornie tokens.I played 6 Double or nothing turbos and cashed in 5 out of 6.Result $200 in my account.In the one I didn't cash in I missed my up and down and finished fourth.From now on this site will be freerolls and points tornies only since it is the most ungenerous I Poker site that I have ever encountered.WTF should I make Poker Strategy rich.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?4144389P
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.

Poker league online qualifiers

2009-04-13T14:12:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-12T11:00:00.000-07:00

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?

2009-04-11T17:31:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-07T03:41:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-03T18:43:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-02T05:04:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-01T05:31:00.000-07:00

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.

Poker dress,Poker league and other assorted crap

2009-03-30T19:34:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-30T06:36:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-28T06:42:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-23T18:14:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-22T05:10:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-20T09:22:00.000-07:00

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.

2009-03-16T08:29:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-11T18:14:00.000-07:00

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 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.
