Sometimes you just thump your head against a brick wall. Each time I get my chips in ahead and each time I get donked on the river. Sooo many bubbles its unbelievable and now making a loss and - %ROI. I seriously need my own account sorted on william hills as I think its my sons sharkscope graph that encouraging people to call.

Playing Betfair the rest of the evening.

Same old Saturday

Just a quicky, played loads of games had my balance as high as £117 but drink kicked in along with a few bad beats. I'm now down to £88 but I've paid for tonights private local online tournie (£11) on William Hills.

Gonna try a few games today, as usual I'm playing £5 STT's until my balance hits £200.

3rd Best Poker Player - EVER fact

Well that was a decent live night. I played a LA game until the break, rebought twice and spent a total of £45 and won £100 after coming 3rd. After the break I actually went looser as everyone was tight as feck. From a small stack I kept doubling but I was never chip leader, just couldn't get that final double up. I pushed on a Q62o board with bottom pair and my opponent had A6. I feel I read him well, I put him on an ace but it was just unlucky he hit his higher kicker.

I did make on major mistake early in the tourney. On an 886 board, I led out with one caller. I had nothing but got a flush draw on the turn, he checked to me and I led out again, he came over the top of me and told me he had trips. I had to fold, of course the dealer rabbit hunted and told me I'd have hit my flush on the river. I had a chance of a free card and got greedy. The way the hand played out, I should have known I was behind.

Bubbling and drunk, I came 4th in a forum $10 STT. Really should have done better but thats drink for ya.

As a footnote, I just opened my william hill poker and discovered a balance of £104. I can't even remember playing hills last night!

A new year, a new blog

Hi all,
After reading ***** Whole of 2009 £2 (and slightly above) MTT thread ***** and noticing a lot of you have your own blogs, I've decided to create my own.

I haven't played live in a bit so I'm off to H&W Staff Club for a £15 + £10 rebuy.My problem with live is I usually play great until the break then the guinness kicks in and I'm a complete twat after it. Its a decent structure with a 20 minute clock and 67 BB's buy in.

As usual I'm playing online. My form hit a severe dip from September. I lifted £1200 last year but it was all in drips and drabs. The only real things I got to show for it was a new laptop and flights to Latvia (which I didn't use as I fecked up with my passport).

I'm starting this year with £237.84 on Betfair and £90.03 on William Hills. I fecked up my own account on billies site so I'm playing under my sons name Rob071039. This account was "loaned" to my mate and the sharkscope graph is laughable. There's a nice fishbowl to his name and -26% ROI. Hopefully I'll soon fix that.

I'm currently in a £5 headhunters tournament. Its the first I've played in one, it may not be suitable for my TAG play. Haven't chopped a head yet!

As suspected, I couldn't beat the LAD's (Loose Aggressive Donks), I pushed with 1010 and got insta called by KJo. Didn't beat a head, hope thats not my form for later.
