Whats up brothers and sisters?
I have just played the sickest 180 ever. I didn't feel like playing much today but by the time tonight came round, i knew I'd be good.
Basically i got smacked full in the face by the deck. An example of the sickness is illustrated below.
I limp in late with 33 after 2 limpers. The flop is A43 with 2 clubs. It checks to me and i bet. One player stays in and calls. The turn is a 5. He shoves all in. I have a tonne of chips by the way but its still a big pot. due to the fact that he has limped in first i figure he has an ace something. maybe has 2 pr. Obviously i consider the 2 for the straight but he has been all in a few recent hands and i doubt he limps in first with a deuce and another card. 22 is the only conceivable option as far as i am concerned. So i call. He has K2 off suit (lol) for the straight and i am a mile behind.
River 3 - implausible quads! Love it.
I reach the final table first in chips with 100k - the closest competitor has 25k. Nice. Obviously there are a few double ups so i am not a monster for long. I witness the most horrific stream of beats and suddenly players who should be out are big contenders.
Then my luck tuns out. I raise the button with AQ clubs - i flop a flush draw but the board is paired 442 with 2 clubs. My opp bets - i raise - he calls. I put him on a pair like 77/88. The turn is an A so i am sure i am well ahead now. He checks i bet he raises i call. He has A4 for a turned FH. I don't really know how i get away from that. Maybe if i was just a better player. lol
I am down to the final 4 but am now 3rd. I raise the button with A8 off suit - same opponent reraises. I fold.
Later same opponent raises - i have AT off - i should have called to see a flop but i shoved. He paused - god knows why and then called with QQ. I am gone. The luck ran out.
I'll be back tomorrow.
Also - played my first bloggerment this weekend. I came 17th of 30 odd. My final hand (after only having 22 and AQ spades in the first hour and determined not to play shit! Ha!) i have AJ clubs in the big blind. Suffolk over raises slightly in the cutoff. I figure out where i think stand and am right when i reraise and he doesn't fold 55. He then hits a 5 on the flop, so i'm fucked. Good work Sir.
In other news, i had an audition today for a part i really want and think i fucked it up. A lot of actors go to auditions and regardless of what happened say "i think i fucked it up". I am not one of these attention seeking types. I usually come out going "yeah it went really well" and then am astounded when i don't get it. PMA baby! Today was different. I was hugely upset. Felt like a failure and had an argument with my good lady. Rubbish.
Later made up and then finished 4th. Every cloud and all that.
I'll let you know tomorrow when they tell me i didn't get it
Night night

Wowsers! - flopped straight flush. Needless to say i won that one. My opponent bet into me on the flop, turn and river. I reraised the river all in- he thought long and then folded. I should have reraised the turn and raised less on the river but i didn't want to lose business and thought the over bet on the river looked more like a missed flush with a single A/K hearts.
In the past i have flopped quads a few times (2 of which were on particularly good occasions) i have turned a royal flush once and seen the flop, turn and river craete a royal flush on the board (all 5 community cards making up the royal flush). I have also seen the board make a community straight flush but obviously this was slightly less exciting.
I am currently reading Paul Phillips' blog - (see the link on the left) damn theres a lot of it! - i think he has been writing it for 6 years or so. It is quite entertaining. He clearly doesn't give a shit about what anyone thinks of him or his recent poker celebrity status. He can also be very funny, see snippets below;
"I continue to boggle my mind by falling asleep with the television on. This time, I awoke to hear what sounded like an impassioned telephone conversation coming from the kitchen. The speaker was obviously crying, in great emtional pain, but with normal telephone pauses. I thought it was my friend Steve. After about half a minute I realized nobody was at my house, that everyone had left the previous evening.Since Steve isn't exactly the sort to blubber on the phone while at my house, I was in mental wackyland."
Love that "mental wackyland" i feel that i go there frequently
also.....
"Dreams. Last night I dreamed I was having a conversation with a fish and a seal. The fish was flopping around out of the water (but didn't seem too unhappy about it.) Still, I guided us all back to the nearby well so the fish could jump in. We continued to discuss the party we were going to attend that evening. Then the seal accidentally dropped his cell phone in the well. I chuckled that it was probably gone for good, but he said it would be retrievable tomorrow when there was more light."
I am also reading "guinness and poker" http://guinnessandpoker.blogspot.com/ which is also worth a look if you like an intelligent, amusing and opinionated blog with a look at analysing your game.
In other news i have just recieved payment for some work i did a while back and have word that another cheque is on its way to me which i had forgotten about. This is great news as it affords me another 2 months of sitting about doing nothing. Erm... i mean looking for work. On that note i have an audition next week for a TV pilot, (ooohhh!)it is very hush hush right now but i will reveal more if and when i become involved. Sounds like a wicked project though. I want it - i want it bad! Oh yeah, bad like a mother.
