Monday (21st) and Tuesday (22nd) both went fairly well online. Monday I finalled in two out of 14 tournies, one Full Tilt $30 rebuy, finished 6th for about $500. The other was a $75 FO on Betfair which i finished 2nd for $2200, where my 44 couldn't hold vs AQ heads up. I finished the night up just over $2k. Then on Tuesday night I hit 3 final tables out of 12 tournaments and cashed in another one on top! My best result was again a 2nd for $2200 in the Party $20 rebuy. I took a sick beat to lose in this too, i trap check raise all in on the turn with KK on a J 6 4 4 board, only for him to call with J5, and the river brought one of his two outs obviously! Sickener. Still it was a $2100 winning night so not a bad two nights really considering such a bad Sunday!
Havent played since, arrived in Ireland on Wednesday evening after the flight was delayed for 2 1/2 hours!!! Travelled from Dublin to Drogheda this afternoon (Thursday 24th) and arrived at the hotel, which is beautiful and i must thank Mike Lacey for sorting it out for me.
Shopping Mall literally next door, which i have already visited and bought my two pair of trainers! Got a text from Chris "NoFlopsHomer" Hall saying he was in a satellite at the Poker Club so me and Aisling wandered down there. Nice club, just being done up really as you can still smell the paint on the wall as you walk through the place! Apparently there are plenty of mad players there, so should be fun tomorrow! 15k chips and a one hour clock means that, believe it or not, i will be a rock tomorrow! At least until the 150/300 level which is when i plan to make moves to try and build a stack. Play starts at 4pm tomorrow afternoon.
One Time dear poker god's. One Time. :)

A Long Time Away..
Apologies for the lack of posting over the last month or two. I have been quite busy, i went to Vegas (wow!) at the beginning of April for 8 nights. What an experience! I might be underage to gamble over there but it is breathtaking just being there. I loved just walking down the strip casino by casino. Absolutely amazing!
Although im not old enough to play i did manage to play at the Plaza, a couple of sit and go's. Crapshoot's really, but a game is a game! I didn't do any good in them (mainly due to the girlfriend taking me out of two of them! LMAO). I didn't think i would be going all the way to Vegas to be taken out of a couple of SNG's by the girlfriend!!!
Came back mid April and messed about since then online. I only had one real result, I won a seat for the Green Joker Poker festival Main Event on 25th May, a 1000 Euro buy in plus expenses paid, all for only $200. Other than that it seemed as though i couldnt win a pot i played in and all multi's were going pear shaped! By the 2nd week in May i was approx $3.5k down on Multi's for the month.
Then, on the 13th of May i had booked up to go to Blackpool on a one week intensive driving course hoping to come back on the following friday with a driving licence. On the sunday when we got to Blackpool I played a few multi's, being sunday they were decent ones. I ran well in the $100 rebuy on Ladbrokes, with 700+ runners i made final table, only then realising that there was added $15k WSOP packages for the top 2. I was sitting about 6/10 on the final and was looking to ladder up and make moves when we got to the last 5 really.
It was not long before we got to 4 players and i am sitting 4/4 as it is a crapshoot! I win a hand and move into 3/4, then next hand i shove on the button with AK and get a call from the CL with AT. This is it, if i win this pot i will be CL and most certainly have the package locked up as well as the 20k+ for second. Flop J 4 7, NICE, Turn 7, NICE, River 4, NOOOOOOOO! YOU LUCKY $!*&!! So sick, he rivers a split and i am still in 3rd of 4. Next hand 4th place goes out, so i am sitting 3/3 with crapshoot blinds! I have just over half of 2nd places so obviously need to make moves if i want top 2. I make my final stand when i shove with K9 and get looked up by AK to which i dont improve. Truly Gutting, but the $13k return was a nice one which amazingly puts me up approx 9k on the month!
Now it's Tuesday, and i enter usual nightly tournaments, including the Mansion $100k tournie, and i also decide to play the Daddy on Ladbrokes. Get down to 40 left and on the break on Mansion before Aisling (girlfriend) tells me she is also in the tournie too! For she had registered and played the first 3 hours without telling me and had managed to be sitting around 5/40! I was in about 18th so offered a 20% swap to which she agreed, top 20 paid.
Soon after the break i reraise all in from the SB with KQ over a cut off standard raise, the cut off passes and shows AJ, i show nothing. Next hand and i get AKs. The same guy makes a standard raise, so i reraise again all in. The bb now calls!!! And the raiser folds! I think i must be behind, and hope im racing, NOPE! Im winning, as the BB shows AQ and i now am in a pot ahead to go top 4 in chips..... the flop is a sick A Q x and i dont improve. Thats all from me in that one, except for my 20% in Aisling which i am happy to say she did brilliantly in making it to 6th for $3k! What a result for Ling, APAT better watch out in a couple of weeks as she is going to take it down :)
Just as Ling went out of Ladbrokes i was doing well in Mansion 100k. I managed to make the final, albeit short. But i was pleased i had got that far and guarenteed a decent win. I ended up pushing with A9s 6 handed and running into A10 and going out for $4600. Not a bad return for a $100 freezeout really. So the week in Blackpool was turning into a great poker week! Not to mention the driving was going brilliantly too!
I passed my theory test on the Tuesday and had the main test booked for Friday at 9.37am. I drove well and got through the whole 40 minutes without making much of a mistake (at least i thought!) and pulled up back at the driving centre. The examiner then says "Im afraid you havent passed today".. And goes on to explain that apparently i went through a gap early on too fast and that this was a serious fault (One serious fault and your out!), other than that my whole drive was lovely, and i only got 3 minor faults (out of an allowed 12)!! Gutted, but not the end of the world. Now have another test booked at the beginning of July so fingers crossed i can pass then.
Since then i played only on Sunday night, which went bad, and lost $2k on Multis. Nevermind, back to the grinding tonight and hopefully get a result or two!
Green Joker Poker is friday and me and Aisling are leaving on Wednesday and flying back on Monday, me hopefully carrying a cheque for 40000 Euro +!

Cardiff Cooler
After my recent run of form resulting in me buying into the main event as i had decided. I started on Day 1, and finished approximately 3 hours later.. A little disappointing.
I was on the button with 2s 5s and called the preflop raise from CO with the intention of making a play at the pot. When the sb and bb both called aswell i was a little annoyed but i still had position and aggression in me! I was on approx 8500 at this point and had a tight image on my table tbh as my table was quite LAG i had to sit back and watch for a while.. When the flop came out 3s 6s 8c i was rather happy! They all suprisingly checked round to me, and i bet 800 into the 1200 pot. The sb dwelled for couple of seconds before announcing raise and making it 2000 to play.
IMO here, i have two options, fold or shove... being a SLAG (super loose aggresive) that i am, i opted for the push of 6.5k more. My opponent, who i do not know his name, dwelled up for a good minute before finally making a call with 66... Yes thats right, the second nuts. I'll be honest, i wanted to punch the guy for the slowroll but instead, when my draw missed, i just got up and walked off without saying anything lol.
This was the first real play that i had made at a decent pot, and to win these tournies, your plays have to come off.. Oh well, not to be. Back to the online donkaments then!.. :D

Welcome Home
I receive a phone call on a Friday saying my mate has a holiday to sell as his parents cannot go, and whether i would like to buy it for cheap. 2 people, all inclusive to Malta for 7 nights for just £470 - Too good to refuse. So i buy it, treating Dad in the process by asking him to come with, he accepted so we were off to the airport on the Tuesday!
Then it went bad, all packed up and prepared for a holiday, we get to Gatwick and go to check in. Dad hands them his passport, which he forgot to mention he washed in the washing machine the week before!! They refuse it because the back main page was split! After a bit of moaning and swearing there is nothing we can do - he cannot go. I have to make a decision and after a bit of consideration i decide not to waste it and have a relaxing week in the sun (or not!). The sun didnt shine, there was nothing to do and i sat bored for the majority of the week. I did find a casino mind you so it wasnt all bad! LOL.
I come home and finally start playing online yesterday (18th March). I am doing poorly in tournies and decide to play some cash, within an hour or two i am $800 up on betfair, which i was just testing out the software on really! Now Tribecca has closed i have been looking for a new site to play and i must say Betfair structures are very good. Anyway, i then decide to have a bash at the big game, $25/$50 going on Party had 8 players in so i take a seat with $3000. 2 rounds later im on BB and have $3500. I am dealt 22 and one player makes it $175, 3 calls so i call. Flop 2 2 7 - I ALMOST WET MYSELF! lol. I check, preflop raiser bets $500, and they fold to me, i flat call, turn 8, i check and he pushes for more than my stack! INSTA CALL! lol, and they ship the pot to me. I come off the table 3 hands later! Thanks Alot!
All tournaments went poor but cash was very good because of the above hand mainly. I ended the day $4177 up.
Today has been another bad multi day early on. Sundays are always costly. And with just one tournament remaining out of 7 entered, i was down $1200 (It is Sunday!!). I had also lost around $1k on cash today too so was looking for a bit of help. The last tournie was the $320 - $50k gtd FO on Betfair. Come 10pm and i was sitting 1/18. $15k to the winner and guarenteed $600 i was getting very excited. From that point i set myself the target of 1st for $15k or 2nd for $10k at worst. I would have been disappointed with anything less as there was so much play in the tournament i should be able to use my stack. I make the final 2/9 and am going well, bullying is working and i feel good. The final table took some time due to the amount of play, but i manage to make it heads up 2/1 down in chips. Target achieved, but now i want to win. I get back to evens on him when we tangle on the KQJ flop. My Q 10 no match for his K10 and im gone in 2nd for a very nice $10000. $8100 profit today so am very very very happy! And now have a decision, GUKPT cardiff next week..... To play or not to play? That is the question..........

My Prayers : Answered
Last comment on last post : "just let me keep winning please!". I didnt think this would happen, but it seems someone loves me and i have kept winning. LOL. In fact, not only have i won, but i have had my biggest ever cash in an online MTT to date, by a clear margin too.
20th Feb - I wake up earlier and decide to play some 3pm comps accross Party and Stars. 5 hours later and i am Heads up in the $30 rebuy on Party. I was down to 500k to his 1.4m. 1st was $5000, 2nd $3200. I managed to double up, and was on just over 900k when i doubled through him again, leaving him with 28k and blinds of 10k/20k. Yes, its over! I thought to myself, not to be, he somehow managed to win every autocall allin for the next 3/4 and was soon level in chips again! I couldnt believe it, i thought the hard work had been done and amazingly he returned from the dead. We ended up getting it in preflop with my KQ vs his 10 10. I spiked the Q and he couldnt return from his 20k again and i took down $5k. Beautiful win, i was obviously very happy! So happy that it turns out i spent just over $1k on tournaments that day, i think this is called Happy Tilt! LOL. I ended the day up $4154. Nice little earner.
I had the weekend off as i was in Cardiff for the APAT event, i was flying high, got my 10k start stack upto 29k without many showdowns at all.. I was playing soom brilliant LAG poker, and although i had such a loose reputation on my table, not many of the players had what it takes to do something about it. I was in heaven lol. I find AK on the button.. I had raised every button for the last 6 orbits, so this was going to be no different. With blinds at 300/600 they folded round to me, and i make it 1700 (Standard! For me anyway!). Sb dwells and folds. BB thinks for a sec before reraising 2.5k more. He leaves himself 8k behind and it doesnt take me long to make the 3bet allin. He gives a long dwell, i know i am racing at worst now and am pleased to have put him to a decision, hoping he folds a small PP. He calls, and announces "I have kicker problems". Beautiful words to hear, meaning i am winning. He shows A6, this pot will put me on 45k and one of the Chip Leaders if i win. The flop 10 10 J. Turn is a sickening 6. And even though i still have 9 outs to win the pot and 3 outs to split i miss and he rakes in the pot. I eventually ran JJ into QQ a couple of levels later to knock me out. I went with Tom and my Dad (Turny) who both went out earlier than me, in unfortunate circumstances.
Tom drops me home at about 2.30pm on Monday and i see that i have been drawn out to play the Mansion $100 FO for this week. 8pm start and i enter a couple of other comps also. Come 10pm i am absolutely shattered and decide to gamble for some chips in 3 comps i had left. Never went so well in two of them but in the Mansion not too long later i was 1/90 remaining with top 63 paying. I decided to play properly. And was playing very loose. With 30 left i lost alot of my stack but managed to get it all back with interest when my AQs beat AJ and my 99 rivered QQ quite nastily. I made the final and had about 20 people railing me and 8 on msn talking. Thanks so much to them as they helped alot. Also a shareholder of 10% Colchester Kev, was already knocking one out!! By the time there was 7 left it had turned into a crapshoot. I was sitting 4th in chips and the CL to my right on the CO open pushed. I had 200k and blinds of 8000/16000 and had 99. I thought this would guarentee me Heads up. Now although i was probably a race at best, i always Play to win the tournie. I called and he showed AQ.. Despite the KJ flop i held up and was loving it aswell as the Railers and Colchester Kev who had shot another load prematurely, sigh. I got to 3 left as 2nd in chips and although still very crapshootish i was managing to win alot more pots than my opponents. I did lose a big pot though to second in chips on a bluff just before we got heads up. This left me with 450k and him 1.2m with blinds 25k/50k. I shoved on the sb with 89s and received a call from him with A7. I flopped the 9 and held and the AYARRR's were everywhere.. I finally won it when he pushed into my bb with K7 and i called with A 10 and i held up. I got my fair share of luck without doubt. I shipped home for this... Wait for it..................... $24k!!!!!!! Less the 10% for kev i won $21600 which equals £11000, wow, what a feeling that was, i couldnt believe it and had some brill railers and all of you congratulating me. Thanks so much. And Congrats to kev, who knows how to invest ;)
This amazingly, puts me $24948 in profit over the month of February. And to think i was moaning at being nearly $3000 down not too long ago this month. Oh how things change.
What a nice feeling i got while updating this :D Until next time, tschuss!

I did lose a big pot though to second in chips on a bluff just before we got heads up. This left me with 450k and him 1.2m with blinds 25k/50k. I shoved on the sb with 89s and received a call from him with A7. I flopped the 9 and held and the AYARRR's were everywhere.. I finally won it when he pushed into my bb with K7 and i called with A 10 and i held up. I got my fair share of luck without doubt. I shipped home for this... Wait for it..................... $24k!!!!!!! Less the 10% for kev i won $21600 which equals £11000, wow, what a feeling that was, i couldnt believe it and had some brill railers and all of you congratulating me. Thanks so much. And Congrats to kev, who knows how to invest ;)
This amazingly, puts me $24948 in profit over the month of February. And to think i was moaning at being nearly $3000 down not too long ago this month. Oh how things change.
What a nice feeling i got while updating this :D Until next time, tschuss!

Finally..
I couldnt remember what a winning day felt like this month, until Friday (16th). I finally managed to get a decent (ish) cash on the board. I played a few tournaments, but the successful one was the $50 FO on Party. 494 Entries and i make final 5 in 4th position. I managed to get the chips in wayyyyyy ahead, AQ vs A5 to go joint leader in the tournie, unsurprisingly the 5 popped up on the turn and im out in 5th for $1300 and change. Rather annoying, i was eyeing up the juicy $6150 for 1st from a way out. Still put me in profit to the tune of $822 on Friday, cutting my losses on the month's MTT down to $1500.
Then again yesterday i had a nice result, getting nowhere in earlier Multis on the night i entered the $15k Gtd $10 FO on Stars. 2094 entries. Get 3 handed all even-ish in chips and a 3 way chop of $2600 each and play for $538.50. I ended up getting 2nd but still a nice result which puts me in profit of $1900 on the day and $500+ on the month!
Oh, how i hate variance, just let me keep winning please!! lol..
