Live Cash Games

Played some cash games live in a bar, no rake and very soft competition. £100 stacks and I was deep 3 way and had AsJs, we saw a family pot.. std. me as PFR.

flop: Ts Qs Kh. So I am like fist pumping when I get so much action and just have to call to get it in vs J9 and KT and even one of his 4 full house outs gives me a royal flush, river is a king and it isn't the king of spades and he takes down a £500+ pot. sick. Anyway I split ££ after the game with 2 friends and ended up £30, despite my friend getting queen's full of two's vs quad two's we netted a profit. Wow competition is really soft.

Last time I went we split over £1000 in tournament winnings, but this time I went for the cash games only as the tournament just is soooo long and I am better at cash.

Still not a fan of the atmosphere at the poker table but oh well...

Played a little PLO the other day and made 3 buy ins at 50PLO was kinda cool, had done alot of reading over the last couple of months so was pretty prepared, and will probably slowly start playing PLO we shall see.

Anyway been doing alot of discussing hands with people alot of thinking and checking hand histories thoroughly and not much playing. Watching videos and just spending hours studying the game. Hopefully will put some hours in at the tables but its good to be able to take time to improve as I went through a phase of not really improving towards the end of 2008.

Weeeee

I have been playing 9-11 tables on stars and have been discussing many hands and trying to improve. Here is a hand against a pretty bad player.

Pacific Poker

I have played on pacific poker since 24th of may 2008 and I played my last hand on the 3rd of March 2009. A total of 184,107 hands. GG pacific

20th!!!

Omg I am on the top 20 biggest winners for 100nl for today at pokerlistings.com with $767. ship ship!

Moved to Poker Stars

Since my last post I had a loss of $1700 and then made $900 back. I found the games had become pretty bad on pacific with too many good players sitting at all my tables. There games can be soft but I decided to check stars out and even though the average pots are smaller and you dont as often get super donks splashing around you haven't really got regulars constantly making life hell and there are many breakeven players just trying to make FPPs etc. I would say the competition is similar but less tilting, I cant stand all the min betting on pacific lol and the gap between the best player at the table and the worst is closer I would say than pacific and maybe poker stars is tougher overall but you get better rake back and there is less rake and more tables. I only played 4000 hands at 100nl but running hot hot hot.
