I was surrounded by idiots!

I signed up to play in BETFREDS $50 freerole to practice my super agressive style, you know, seeing lots of flops and generally making a nuisance of myself. The game had been running 20 minutes before I had started playing and had clearly established a tight table image, which for you fishy lot means I only play good cards so you should fold to my bets!

I was delt AK on the button blinds are 20/40 and a player in mid position bets 60, I raise him to 120 he sees my bet. The flop is T, 8, 4, he goes all in, I think this is an easy one so I call him, he shows a T, 6o , the turn is another T and Im all out. Who pushes with T, 6o? Oh, super agressive players do!

Oh well, back to the drawing board!

Flopping a full house!

I was playing in a POKER ROOM CENTURION game (100 seater, 1st prize $150 for a $5 buy in.

I was in the BB and found myself holding Jc, Ac and thought I would just check this through with the player on the button calling the BB (at 15/30) The flop came down As, Td, Th and I made a small bet, which was called and the turn card came down Jd, now I am all in I dont want this turkey catching a flush unless he pays. He sees my all in and shows A, To and I Hit the fucking roof, I know its not a bad beat, I was just unlucky, maybe I should have slowed down a little on the turn, but Im sure I played it right!

Well, lets see if I play it the same next time!

Multi Table Success, at last!

After spending untold hours playing MTT ansd STT I have found myself winning a 10 seater and a 40 seater tourney in 2 days, winning $50 in each, this is excellent as it is about time I started to get into the top placings on MTT's.

I will continue to play at this level as it is apparent that it suits me, for the time being.

I hope I can keep it up, however I do in the future I can honestly say that the advice and help I recieved from the members at The Poker Academy was priceless and I do not think I would have even finished in the money without their support and help. Thank you all!

I now need to go shopping with my better half, so I will sign off for now.

Until next time.

thanks for reading.

The Jester adds this blog to his links list!

Frak me, Ive had me blog noticed by a superstar!!

Can I take the pressure? We will have to wait and see

I was really suprised to find that The Jester had placed a link to my blog, which is frankly rubbish and the ramblings of a mad fool, and that was what my old mum said!

Thanks Geez, I love ya baby (in a purely platonical way)!

Sirpokerdude has said "The guy is a loon, be careful", I do not subscribe to this point of view, yes The Jester may have an over inflated ego, but that does not make him a bad or dangerouse person, I am more concerned about GroundSkimmer, who seems to be worthy of a full on parania alert!
