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.

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.
