Home Games U gotta love them

So last night we head out for all you can eat chinse and the prospect of some 10p 20p nl holdem at jeals for laughs where the sidebets were gonna be more than the game itself.(how wrong we were) it was great fun and being the preverbial homegame king that I am I ran good. Got a few big hands payed off aswell as a few marginal calls that were good (jeal lol) and then managed to 3 out panda on the turn when i didnt believe he had a pair so 2nd pair made 2 pair and a nice pot. Result for the night was £120 profit with me and rich jones(world famous massive fish like the biggest fish ive ever met but hes still quite good) carving the table. To say the least I enjoyed myself and look forward as always to the next home game with excitment there just so funny.

Brighton the week before and the Aftermath

So anyone who knows me quite well knows i had been running dreadfully all year in pretty much all games except the 22 dealers game at dusk till dawn. A couple of sessions in feb winning 500 and then a 2 day trip in late feb led to a 2 grand profit shippit!!!!. Unfortunatly this was my last win over 100 till 18th April. The Norwegian poker championship came to dusk on a weekend when i was at a loose end and was puersuaded (against my better judgment) to go up on a sunday by 2 ppl whod never been so going against the advise of people i respect who reminded me that you need a huge bankroll to play against these people up we went. Thus ensued the worst running night of my life including having my aces cracked by a guy who called 150 pre flop 82 off happy days. Well that summed the night up and consequently i lost over a bag that night happy days. Well the student poker championship in Birmingham and once more i ran well especially on the cash table, by the way cheers to adam lattimer for calling down light to see where he was and then hitting his 2 outer to put me on tilt, and i tilt bad. So Birmimngham and another few bags lost. So heading to Brighton hoping my bad run will finally end, no such luck im afraid i managed to bubble in the 200 fo and the 50 rebuy round of each. I also typically ran bad at cash missing my wraps and flush draws and then having ppl hit theres aginst my sets i couldnt buy a 60 40 let alone win one. i did manage to sattalite into the main event for 30 quid. But that went well i had qq jj 3 times kk twice and aa once and won one of these hands (aa won the blinds). Althugh this blog is vague im a bit fed up of the grind at the mo and am, just playing for fun for a bit before settling down to the summer grind. More to follow
