November 9th 2009

First post in two weeks, the absence of a blog being down to the fact ive nothing to write about, well not poker wise anyway. In the early hours of Sunday morning on the DreamTeam final weekend my mum got rushed into to hospital, hence why I took off from the Casino as soon as I was knocked out (Did I mention KQ v K9 from an EX player in my group?). Thankfully all is good with mum now, she under went surgery on the Friday and is now amazingly back at home, but the problems her being in hospital for two weeks caused meant that playing poker was waaaaay down the pecking order! That was corrected a little over the weekend as Ive managed a number of sessions at the 500nl tables, and all in all its been a good weekend, how nice it is to write that sentence : and all in all its been a good weekend, my being blessed is now rubbing off in my online game too!!!! Without question the best session was Saturday morning, I had a session booked with one of my group and we decided to do a session where he watched me play, 1 hour later 4 buy ins up, what a session, having hit 6 sets in that time did make the session one of the easiest to play!!!! The only really drama was losing with KK to 42 suuuuuuuuited, played from the SB naturally!!! Had another good session Sunday morning quickly winning 3 buy ins, again wasnt to much effort as a set of 10s was paid of by 43 on a 10 4 3 board and then running AA into KK. So I decided to pay into the $100k guaranteed $1000 buy in deep stack event on Betfair. Ive been playing deep stack very well last few months and with a small field of just 88 I was really looked forward to this tourney………………..10 minutes in and im out!!!!! OMG! One of the first hands I play I fire 3 bullets with ace high on a 9cJcQcKdx board and was unable to get 9J to fold, bottom two pair did look good there I must agree!!!! But its deep stack, I got tons of time! Two hands later I get Q10 in the SB, theres a standard raise, 4-5 players call and I join the party, flop: 9dJsKs, I got the stone cold nuts, I check raise, get one caller. Flop 6d, pot is already big and I get another big chunk in, river is a K, I don’t like the card but im going nowhere now and get the rest of my chips in, he slow rolls his JJ. Good night and thankyou!!!! Well at least ive got the “bad luck” out of the way before this weeks GUKPT event at Blackpool, with things in the real world settling down and the fact that overall my poker game is in real good shape im making my way over to Blackpool later this week to play the £1000 main event, I am looking forward to finishing the year on a high!!................................And finally big up to James Akenhead, short stacked he finished 9th in the WSOP main event this weekend after finding KK only to run it into AA, so sick! Still what a year, the boy is a legend, very well played sir!!!
