25th February

And the run continues, another great week in cyber space, finally back in profit after what seems like years filling the big black hole- my word what a wonderful feeling it is!!!!!!!! Once again the week started by grinding out at the 200nl game then as the profit and week moved on i went upto $500nl, $1000nl and $2000nl and im pleased to report winnings all the way up the ladder!! There was one hand that really stuck in my mind, not due to the size of it (money wise was a $900 pot so small, but BB bets it was 500 so huge!), not because of the beat i took, but because it just goes to show how much value there is still out there if you look hard enough!!!!! Playing a 200nl game id built my stack upto $450, there was also two other players double stacked, one was a very good reg the other a new super donk!!!!!! In the SB im dealt 10dJd, UTG standard raise everyones limped in front of me thus i join the party- six way pot. Flop a dream 7 8 9 rainbow. With it being six way i thought the best way to get value would be bet out, surely someone else had caught a piece, so pot bet. Good reg re-raises 3/4 pot a sure sign hes got a made hand and wants to play me HU, but then super donk calls!!!!?????? Everyone folds and back to me. Its an easy push, pots massive already ive got the stone cold nuts and theres no draw, so im up against either a lower straight, trips or the same hand. The good player folds (later tells me he had second trips) and the donk calls of his full double stack with...............10 Q, hes drawing to the straight!!  FFS please, what a spot!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was still slaping myself on the back when the turn card brought the J and it took me till the river to see id been well and truely mugged!!!!!!!! How sick. As im losing a massive BB pot on the other tables i was just clearing two pots worth $1000 each with JJ beating AK and AA beating KK so in the few seconds id actually won $600 which helped ease the pain, and rather than ranting i found time to smile and reflect on how wonderful it is that there is still players out there who play so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!! The game off course is constantly evolving and to beat it you have to work hard, but please no one can tell me there still aint plenty of stars out there!!!!!!!!!!!!  The week ended nicely on Friday, after a good solid day at 2/5 i banked a good winning day and then took $500 to the 5/10 tables were i span it up to $3000, then took that to the 10/20 tables and span it upto $6000. The idea was then to take 10BB to the 100/200nl game to try and spin the spin of spins! Sadly just as i left the 10/20 game the 100/200 broke and reality kicked in- bank the winnings you fool !!!!!! Still a great way to end a great week and the end of a great month................My good friend skalie as finally got around to setting up his own website, and he asked me would i be kind enough to be the first player to be profiled on there, well of course my ego loved it! Of course, so heres the link! Cheers skalie, you such a good mate!!!!!!!!!
