morons & retards and fish, oh my!!

I decided to play the $3 (2k guaranteed) freezeout on blonde this afternoon and got off to a good start when I had KK first hand. A retard who limped utg+1 and then called my 24o raise re-raised me all in on the 442 flop with 53 for an open ended straight draw. How i laughed when the turn bought me the K for a full house and even louder when the donk hit his A for a river straight looooooool. I mean it wasnt even a re-buy and to limp UTG+1 with 53 and then call a 240 raise.....what planet are these morons on and thank christ he got exactly what he deserved!

Well that was about the highlight as I never got a hand after that but witnessed some truly awful play. The end came with the predictability of a something really predictable (can't think of an example lol) when I pushed with AQ on the button for about 2k which was about 6 big blinds after there was 1 limper utg. The blinds folded and of course mr. limper called for half his stack with the mighty A9 off so he was miles behind and deservedly so...I mean how can you not get away from A9 utg after limping...if your gonna play rubbish at least raise and try to win rather than playing like a complete weak fish...what a moron....howver the RNG saw fit to reward the retard with a 9 on the flop and I'm gone in 165th. But as someone once said these are the kind of morons you want to play against and I would take the call every time!

I hate to bubble...

I bubbled a $5 stt yesterday and the hand below was key to this. I was pissing around on facebook, laddies forum etc and not really paying attention and folded here in the small blind when if i had been looking at the chip stacks it would have been a insta call with any 2 even though the chip leader was still to act. Would have cost me an extra 570 to call with 1200 in the pot already and the chance to knock out the shorty.....sigh....of course the shorty won with his T4 instead of being knocked out by my pair of Kings. 3 uncontested all ins in a row and hes not the shorty anymore and of course when I'm the shorty I get them in ahead and get sucked out on lol....still at least I may pay more attention in the future....then again maybe not!

Another 5$ stt

today on laddies which took about an hour to fill but cashed in 3rd for $8. On the last hand I raised from the big blind after the 2nd chip flat called in the small blind. I then pushed with my J5 after hitting a J on the QJ8 flop and was insta called by the 2nd chip leader who had flopped a straight with his T9 lol. I couldnt really wait any longer with less than 10 big blinds 3 handed.

Challenege bankroll is now $328.80

Loving the EPT Barcelona live stream on www.eptlive.com Great work PokerStars!

Most stts ive played for ages...

I played 3 stts today which is probably the most in a day for months! Unsurprisingly there was no traffic at my favoured stts until the evening so I had a look on stars....I came 5th in a $3 9 seater, then won a $1 9 seater and then came 2nd in a laddies $5 super deepstack so a few dollars up for the day. Would have won the $5 if I could only get a medium pocket pair to hold up against two overcards heads-up but at least I'm getting them in ahead!

Challenge bankroll is now at $326.30 but still no where near the $1k i was aiming for this time last year! Better than losing though!

Quick update

Not played much (again) recently and have only managed to squeeze in a few Laddies 5 pay equal stts. These are 10 hand levels and turn into a crap shoot pretty quickly so not my cup of tea. But managed to cash in those that I have played in and along with the STT win and some free cash from Pokertrillion a few weeks ago the bankroll is now up to $319.90.

I will start playing the $5 stts again but the deepstack games i prefer are few and far between with the traffic on laddies rapidly disappearing!

I'll update again

when I finally manage to play more than a couple of games! played 2 STTs a couple of weeks ago and won the first and then in the second had my full house that I hit on the turn after flopping a set beaten by the nut full house that he made on the flop so no complaints as I was never getting away from it!

Hardly played at all recently...

Well, I think I have played about twice in the last 5 weeks and that was just a couple of quick cash sessions! Been a hectic month as we've bought a house and are moving in the next couple of weeks so had tons to do to sort everything out - the other half would not be impressed if she was left to do it all by herself while I played poker! Its also been Euro 2008, my birthday, had friends staying, started a new job so no time at all for poker!

Once we get moved in and get stuff sorted I will hopefully get some free time back and play a few more games!

Been following the WSOP a bit and at the moment a few of the guys from the laddies forum are playing in the main event and they've all made it through to Day 2 which is a great achievement! Let's hope they all go deep!
