Well that was a long night
1 tournament, 6 and a half hours, 15th from 2152. $72. Sorry - wut? $72? For 6 hours 36 minutes?! And to lose to A8 offsuit?!?.
Was it worth it?
No. No it was not.
Was it worth it?
No. No it was not.
Good lord
Just swallowed a whole ice cube. Did not mean to. Feels like the first time I had a Kinder Egg and didnt know there was a skateboarding mickey mouse toy inside. Took 4 days to pass the helmet.

WCOOP - I'll chance my arm.
1218 - Pitch my wedge, dangle my fandango, shoot my hoop. $400K Gtd Omaha/HE tourney starts in 7 hours 10 minutes.
I have the following satellites to try and own:
1333 - $5.50R sat
$4.40R sit & go 80 players max (currently 8....)
1225 - Right, bit of cheap action. $1.10 $1k Gtd. 1863 runners, registration open until 1300.
1226 - And i'm out. Super. 1010 v 44 v QQ. At least I wasn't the shitwizard with 44.
1235 - Omaha, PL, SnG, BBQ, ABC, ITV.... 6 people. 1 winner. Wont be me.
1254 - I've said it before, i'll say it again. Poker is shit.
1321 - $2.20 Quintuple shootout. That sounds like a barrel of larfs, no? Fuck it, still 10 minutes until I get knocked out of the satellite, so why the hell not.
1331 - I've made an enemy! Yay! He's furious too. I wouldn't like to be his keyboard at the moment. I wouldn't like to be anyone's keyboard to be fair, it's not a great life. Prodded repeatedly and used to rest the ball of tissue / donnay sock / spunk catcher of choice, pre and post self-coitus.
1347 - Still in the satellite, i've even doubled up. How super!!
1401 - The Quin becomes a Quad. Just despatched the first 3 chumps, now on to chump chump and chumper. Only 4 of the 256 tables still playing, I was multi slow.
1444 - Out of the Quintuple. Still in the Sat. Not re-bought. 31 left, 8.9k chips. Oddly i'm 28th. I thought I was doing well until I saw that...
1533 - Came 13th. 9 paid. Meh. Fuck it.

Right, here we go again
2239 - I'm expecting epic fails tonight and to be in bed before midnight. Starting with $40 on Pkr, $64 on Pokerstars.
Playing $1/$2 Omaha on Pkr (Stupid) and some MTTs on Pokerstars.
Tourney #1 - Sunday Million Sat $11.70.
2240 - Out first hand. Fuck. Me.
2241 - This is gonna be a short night....
2251 - Pkr stack gone....
2256. I love horses. Best of all the animals. I love horses. They're my friends.
2325 - Look. I'll level with you. I was a bit pissed off with losing my $40 straight off the bat on Pkr, so I popped in another 40. I know, I know. Please, dont judge me. That $40 is now $120, but I still feel grubby.
2335 - Look, I know what you're thinking. Please stop looking at me in that way. I couldn't help it. I blame the Magners.
0100 - Still here. Got 2 MTTs left on Pokerstars and playing 1 on Pkr. Really quite dull tonight. I wonder who would win in a fight between Gabe Kaplan and Normad Chad? I'd like to think Gabe would twat the midget bastard. God I love Magners. AJ Benza could also take Lon McHerron. Piece of piss, McHerron is all gristle.
0104 - Would this be better on twitter? Should I be a twit-twat?
0129 - 2 down, 1 to go. Got 12557 chips 128/1158. Not feeling it tonight, no siree. I actually turned Pkr off and i've got $100 left. Honest, off it went. I have an urge to attempt Through The Fire & Flames on Guitar Hero.
0208 - Im going to bed.

So, there you have it.
I had focus, I had a plan, I had $150 and now I have $574. And 94 cents. Not bad, not bad at all. Halifax fine paid in full. And a bit of compo for my troubles. I'll leave the $64.71 in my pokerstars account. I'll take $470.23 from the Pkr account, so that's, what, £280. With $100 left to try again tomorrow. Hooray!
It's the brown shoes. Must be.
It's the brown shoes. Must be.
Oh....oh fuck, how did that happen?
Between accessing this site, clicking 'forgot password?' and then posting this entry, i've already busted out of the $5.50 gtd tourney on Pokerstars, so it rather goes without saying that my first night back on Pokerstars after a 6 month 9 days self-imposed vacation isn't going well.
It's been a while, i've tried to forget, but i've got an axe to grind (maybe misplaced phrase) and I need cold hard cash. Halifax Plc have, in their infinate wisdom, slapped £70 of bank charges on me. Not wanting to raise my blood pressure, I won't go into the finer details / tell you about my teary phonecall to their 'help'desk.
Right, so, I have a motive. And a target. And a bank balance with black numbers. I need to win £70. It should be possible, i'm an educated man, I work in the city, I don't dot I's with a loveheart, I wear brown shoes, i'm a supreme being... ooo I have QQ.. brb.......
Gah, tossers folded pre-flop.
Now, this may shock you, but overall in my poker career i'm probably down. I know, it shocked me too. So, on to tonight, $100 into Pkr, $50 into Pokerstars. If I turn the $150 into $300 then I should have my £70 back. Pkr is an odd place. Not many users, all of whom play hold 'em, regardless of whether the table is playing Omaha. The majority go by the rule of 4 cards = good hand. AA82 = good hand, that sort of thing. My $100 is currently $125, rather fortuitous circumstances, but circumstances never the less.
Right, i'm on PKr for the cash omaha, pokerstars for the MTT hold 'em
Pokerstars Tourney #1 - $5.50 NL - QQ v AK out busted shit.
#2 - $11 20k Gtd - still in at time of writing.
#3 - $11 10k Gtd 1R1A - still in at time of originally mispelling 'writing'.
Kinda doing nowt on PKR... nowt at all.
Now playing $.5/$1 Omaha on PKR, sat down with $10, quadrupled first hand. I'm super.
Reached the break on #2 & #3, pretty much the same as what I started with. On $32 from $10 on PKR...
#4 - $3.30 NL rebuy 40k gtd
Shhh.. shh.... SHHHHHHH.. whisper it, i'm up. Fingers on lips.
It's 0127, time for a stat check with a blancmange stained Jim White. Just kidding, it's not Blancmange, it's blood. Understand that, sky sports poon. I digress.
#2 - $11 20k Gtd - 7680 chips, 382/1221
#3 - $11 10k Gtd 1R1A - 4180 chips, I ignored the rebuy & add-on, I dont need that shit. Currently 691/755. Maybe I did need it...
#4 $3.30R 40k Gtd 3190 chips, 0 rebuys, 1164/2825. 0 rebuys.
PKR - $145. Currently playing a $5 Omaha MTT. 38 runners, shit pot... ooooo QUADS!
0134 - Tourney #2, now at 17560 after 2 rather super plays.
0138 - Tourney #2, now at 27195. After AA twice, cracked AA with 78 diamonds. Fuck, i'm running like Usain Bolt.
0140 - When was the last time I ran like this? Computa, produce the stats!.... never is the answer. Doubled up one th 3.30 rebuy. Flushing nute on Pkr and holding 2 lots of KK on pokerstars. Jesus.
0142 - Who needs correct spelling when you're winning? Fat Mur is Fat.
0145 - Busted out of the tourney I wasn't doing all that amazing in/ #3 I think it was. Currently 13/895 pm Tourney #2. 3/29 in the PKR tourney.
0204 - Fucking yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy All in 25k with AA v KK, holds up and now 3rd from 760 with 48890. Awooga!
0222 - Currently looking at:
#2 - $11 20k Gtd - 45290 chips, 7/555
#4 - $3.30R 40k Gtd - 3437 chips, 0 rebuys, 1999/2953. 0 rebuys. That's none. Zeyro.
#5 - $8.80 12k Gtd - 4395 chips, 300/1365
PKR - $145. Currently playing a $5 Omaha MTT. 38 runners, 15 left, currently 9th.
Been a while since I was so well placed in a big MTT. I wonder how i'll fuck it up. I reckon it'll be chasing an inside straight draw for no apparent reason.
0239 - Trebled my stack in tourney #3, hit a splendiferrous flsuh on the river. 19345 chips 159th from 2695. At the break. no rebuy needed. I'm just that damn good.
0243 - Shit, just spunked 11k chips 99 v QK (offsuit. Knob.) Down to 36k. Think i'll mark myself 'away' for a bit.
0250 - 377 people left, of which 306 are paid. Not sure if i'd be happy with 306th. I probably would be if it was a choice between that or 307th. Currently 46th, so i'd have to have a complete brainfart to piss my chips into the wind here. I could do with a piss actually..
0254 - 77th... shit shit shit swimming the wrong way......
0307 - 93rd.....94th.....95th.... fuck, 97th!.... should really start playing hands. Down to 28000...
0313 - When I look back on this (most likely abandoned) blog in a years time I hope i'm looking back with pride in my Great British eyes, rather than thinking 'what a tit'. 307 left, 306 paid... i'm about 110th. Haven't played a hand for half an hour. Not through choice, I haven't hit shit.
0316 - I'm in the money. Pretty much crap money until top 10. Not a fucking chance i'll get there.
0325 - What a call, what a ruddy lovely call. on BB, 1k/2k Some goober goes AI with his last 10k. I have QK suited. He doesn't. He has K10. He hits his 10. I tell the cat "this is fucking typical". I hit my Q. The cat is unmoved. I have 40k in chips, a lovely warm brew, and a big hairy pussy between my legs. Ripper!
0329 - Still hanging tough in tourneys #2 & #4:
#2 - $11 20k Gtd - 29565 chips (dont ask), 111/216
#4 - $3.30R 40k Gtd - 26719 chips, 0 rebuys, 287/1560.
0345 - Fucking hell, teeth, skin, of. QK suited again wins the day. I'll just sit here flexing for a few minutes in the light of that awesomeness.
0401 - Just heard Nicky Butt has called his new son Harry. I dunno, sounds a bit fishy to me...
0416 - Out of 1 tourney and damn sure nearly out of another.... now 108th from 108. Not good.
0420 - Out. 104th. Goodnight Vienna. $37 for 4 hours 20 minutes of play. What was the fucking point? Still, same time tomorrow methinks...
0453 - Still here, entered a rather shoddy looking MTT on PKR. Only $10 but it's gone from 143 people to 8 and i'm sat in 3rd with 117816 chips. $380 to the winner so not all bad.
0456 - Lost half of my stack on 2 rivers. Why the fuck did I blog? What a twunt.
0506 - 5 left, am 3rd.... ACES!!!!!!... ADN THEY HOLD UP!! 5 left, am very much in 2nd place.
0509 - 3 left, it's the break, i'm going for a poo. $157 gtd.
0510 - The cat (moth hunting earlier) has just thrown up at least 3 bits of moth, along with half its stomach lining. That's rather sullied my winning.
0513 - Quads. Heads up!
0514 - 482k (not me) v 200k (me). I'm not optimstic.
0520 - I'm actually winning.. 670k palys 60k....
0522 - WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!! J4 v 23 - 44 on flop, 4 on turn, quads, win, epic.
0528 - Drink it in my afro haired avatar chum. It's been a long time coming.
