Good news and bad news

First the bad news:
Since I started playing poker again (25th of June) – I was up about $3000 online within 2 days. I am now down approx. $500 over this period of time. I’m about quits at Party and I’ve lost just under $500 at TowerGaming. I also lost a $200 I cleared at TG [...]

First day of poker

I won ~$1700 today online and lost £40 ($80) offline.This is the most I have ever won in one day. I played maybe 5 hours online today. I’ll post some of the big hands tomorrow. I don’t feel I played great online today and I did mess up a few hands. But I did [...]

The best lay down I ever made…

I’ve made a few good lay downs in my time, but I think the best has to be the time I folded AA on a 442 flop. It wasn’t just the cards. It was the confidence I laid down the hand with and the odds I was getting to call.
Looking back at it now it [...]

Made £46 last night

I lost £60 in the rebuy tourney. Went out on the 2nd hand into the freezeout. I was in the BB with AJo and I end up going allin with the SB, who has ATo, preflop. I’m a 75% favourite but lose the hand and get knocked out.
In the rebuy period I played really badly. [...]

Monday night Rebuy

Last night I finished 14th in the Rebuy. I bought in once, plus an addon for a total of £20. Last nights MTT was massive. There were 67 runners and top 9 were paid.
Moe finished in the top 2. He split the money and took home £500. He had more chips than his opponent but [...]

Monday night rebuy

I bought in £80+£10 on Monday. Far too much. Next time I play I need to make sure that the maximum amount I buyin is £40+£10. I need to play much tighter. I need to play as if it isn’t a rebuy. I can’t go allin PF with a hand like J3s because I think [...]

3rd in the £10 Rebuy

I came third tonight. There were about 30 or 40 players there. I bought in £50 plus a £10 addon.
I won £130. I should have won it and taken home £430.
This was the killer hand right at the end:
my QQ vs 66 allin preflop.
I have about 50k. My opponent had about 35k. And the third [...]

Great AA fold

Last night I played in the Monday night £10 rebuy at The Club.
I was doing alright. I got to the end of the rebuy with 4300 chips. I bought in £30 including an addon.
We’re onto the final 2 tables (started with 4 tables). And this hand happened:
I’m dealt AcAd in first position.The blinds are 100/200. [...]

Came 5th out of 34 in the rebuy last night

I played the rebuy tourney at The Club last night and finished in 5th. I played quite well in the rebuy period. I bought in twice and then bought an addon. I had about 7500 chips at the beginning of the freezeout. (Buyin is £10 for 700 chips and at the end of the rebuy [...]

Had some great luck on Monday night

I was playing at the club last night. Not playing very well but I ran into a lot of good luck.
 First of all, I played in the re-buy. In the first couple of hands I was dealt pocket aces. The starting stacks are 700 chips and the blinds are 25/50 for the first 45 minutes. I [...]
