Operation

Enforced Poker lay off coming right up :-(

For a little while anyway :-)

Going into hospital on Monday for an operation on a para-umbilical hernia (sounds great). Basically in hospital for 7am on Monday, general anaesthetic. Tad worried about the General Anaesthetic as asome lads at work have sowed some seeds in my mind. One of them is one of the most mild mannered blokes, you'll ever wish to meet....after he came round from his op and was on the ward, he spent the next few hours swearing and calling everyone cunts.

Next up comes the lad, who when given his pre-med (little shot you have to relax before they put you under), well most people get a little drowsy but this guy had a weird reaction and ended up going a bit hyper and jumped from bed to bed while the nurses tried to catch him. He then lifted his gown up in the middle of the ward and started waving his knob about.

Should be fun, now the seeds have been sown.

As for Poker, hopefully get a few hours in on Saturday get back into profit - I have been a donk this past week, nothing spectacular, just consistently dickish play

Reeeeespeck

Great to see the Manchester/Salford Massive in Full effect



although these guys are even tougher!!!




LMFAO

Poker can be an Ass

Some nights you sit down and start playing and you just feel very comfortable (about your poker that is, not necessarily in a physical sense, being physically comfortable would involve Keeley Hazell), so feeling suitably comfortable I fired up 6 tables of NL10 whilst I had my tea (meat pie & chips - it's great being a Northerner) and managed to rack up $28 in about 30 mins on Full Tilt. I then observed a particulary loose NL100 table on Cake Poker and decided it could be profitable (how wrong I was).

I sat down and within 20 mins had my $100 Buy-in up to $127 and I was still feeling supremely confident, especially seeing some of pre-flop all-ins occuring (QTos v A3os). The session then took a sinister twist and I suffered a couple of horrific beats, twice I got KKK cracked by AAA with the final Ace coming on the river and in between those I had AAKK cracked by 444.

As I said the table was extremely loose and the guy with 44 raised to $3 and got 2 callers - I re-raised to $9 with AK and only the initial raiser calls - flop comes A49 rainbow - game on I think and I can already see the $ signs ticking over - he bets pot - I flat-call - the turn is a K, he pushes all-in I call - he flips over 44 and the river is blank and I wave goodbye to the $140 pot. So overall Wednesday was a $135 losing night ;-(

Anyway, suppose it's my own fault because I've withdrawn most of my roll recently in order to chip away at my credit card, which means that I'm just short of being sufficiently rolled to play NL100. Profit for Feb hovering around the $25 mark, which is annoying as I was over $200 up after a couple of days into Feb.

So back to the NL10 & NL20 this weekend for the Credit Card grind, will be happy to get up to $200 profit for the month now

The mighty Man City spanked Trafford United 2-1 earlier today and I celebrated with a cheeky bottle of champagne and several ales and I'm going to have some more in a bit ;-)

The day could not have gone any better, City observed the minutes silence impeccably and then destroyed the fuckers on the pitch. First time in my lifetime that we've beaten the rags at the swamp and not only that, but it completes the double over them for the season............Nice.....and we're back in the hunt for a European spot.....Nicer

Right more beer and celebrations coming right up - laters

Mental Note...Do not play NL10 when tired

Well, I reckon I must have lost around $65 playing NL10 over the past 2 days and I knew I was tired before going on, but I had to get my fix. A little disappointing as my will power regarding this sort of thing has been very good of late.

Due to feeling tired I made some bad calls, mainly to make a quick profit so I could get some sleep....what a donkey. I have however profited on NL50 & NL100 and so the overall damage to my bankroll is only $35.

Going on the piss tonight after work, having our office Christmas Do...yes that is right, our Christmas do and not only that, it's a double one...2006 & 2007. I work for a local authority and these things take time ;-)

Aims for the weekend are to:

1. Get a new carpet


2. Go for a 10 mile hike with the dog & missus


3. Make $100 at Poker by grinding


4. Finish watching Sopranos Series 6 Part 1

Good luck at the tables

A new era is about to begin...

...and it's brought to you by Postman Capello.....let's hope he delivers a First Class team (ba dum tish, thanks very much I'm here all week, available for weddings, bahmitzvas, birthdays...)

Anyhow, I can't watch the bloody England v Switzerland game tonight because I've arranged to take the missus out for a Chinese, I can't exactly cancel it coz she's a poker widow as it is..what a nice lad I am.

Thought I'd just have a quick hours grind at NL10 last night. Fired up 6 tables at FT and before I knew it I was down $30 - had a few bad beats and made a few bad calls

ME = AA

FLOP = A88

opponent All-in - I call

OPPO = 88

TURN/RIVER = nothing useful

It wasn't all bad though, I went onto Cake Poker played some NL50 and made $90, so a $60 profit for the day. I'm hoping to be able to hit a $750 profit for the month (including rakeback), I'm already well on the way, so fingers crossed.

Shit post, but I'm bored at work, so thought I'd write something

Papers Papers...

...vee must see your papers

I'm still loving the Cake Poker, but do not deposit by Credit Card because when you try to withdraw your winnings - you get an email asking for you to provide about 5 pieces of evidence of who you are..pain in the arse

If you deposit by Neteller, then I don't think you have the same issues because you've already had to go through vetting with your Neteller account.

Had a good morning on Cake Poker, played for around 3 hours and ground out a $120 profit, playing NL20. Some crazy people making crazy moves - superb. (Also won $40 at Full Tilt at the same time, if only every Saturday morning was this profitable

Just started a freeroll MTT at Cake 20 minutes ago and the top prize is $2000 with the top 50 paid - 409 runners. It's a Gold Card Freeroll and I got in because I managed to collect a Gold 2 of spades through Ring Game play. 369 peeps left and am currently 257th. I started with 1500 chips and have 1390 at the minute (card dead) -Quite a few people have started with 2500 chips because they had collected 2 x 2s Gold Cards which entitles them to an add on

Feeling good about my poker today so it'd be great to do well in this.....especially as I was behind before the tourny started ;-)

EDIT
Busted out - I finally got some decent cards AKd in BB, folded round to SB and he goes all in - I call, he shows A4c and catches a 4 on the flop - out I went to a pair of fours - what a twat ;-) Nevermind it was free and at least I can get pissed now
