Friday night was a case of ''after the Lord Mayors show''
I managed a final table in the Orfordable (WP DOHHHHHHHH) and I got another bubble, to add to my vast collection of bubbles, coming 51st in the 7k double stack main event.
I dont normally do bad beat stories, but saw so many tonight !! I started with the league freeroll , but always struggle in this, never coping well with the number of absent players. I also lost two DYMs in a short space of time. After playing poorly in Primo and the 830 BH, I had a brief excursion to the 50NL tables and hit a couple of flushes to double my buyin before retreating. This encouraged me to then play the 930 BH where I took one head before going out, and also had another go at Glasgow,having bubbled twice last week. No good though ! After a break and considering quitting for the night, entered the 1045 £22 BH, and a £33 DYM.Ran 10 10 into JJ in DYM, but ran well in BH until my QQ was outdrawn by Nutters 99. Apology accepted Ben ! So well down for night by then, needing a good cash. Deciding to give it another go entered the 1130 BH, the 1145 £22 BH, and the midnight £300 gtd. Three tournies at once is probably one too many for me, and in all of them I struggled.... no heads and I think I was down in last place in all three for a bit. But things change quickly and in space of 5 mins I doubled up in all of them,and found myself approaching final table in the bigger two which both only paid top three. And just outside cash in the little one. Some good players in all three but I had to go for the bigger payouts and was struggling to cope with two final tables, so I made a speculative (stupid) shove in the other one, and of course went out one off the bubble. The BH table was the easier of the two,and I was able to boss it ending up heads up with a good stack. The £300 gtd was a lot tougher,made it down to the bubble, with myself,Massie, Glynnebe and Aitch all swapping chips regularly in a really enjoyable struggle. Unfortunately while this was happening I managed to donk away my lead in the BH which I should have won. Still a good cash, and well played Blue. Managed to get Massie allin three times when I had the slightly better hand but 3 times he escaped ! All four of us took our turn at being short. When it was my go I shoved with 22 and was called by bigstack Glynns AA. 3456 on board ... no problem ! A couple of hands later he went allin with J2 on a J52 flop and was called by AJ. Turn 9,river 9 ! What a sick way to bubble! Aitch went out in 3rd,(well played sir!) leaving me heads up with Massie. Was a good battle, I folded 99 against one of his shoves, but eventually called another with K8 suited only for him to show K10. Of course I hit the 8 ! He took the bad beat like the gent he is,as did Glynn earlier. I think I deserved a bit of luck, but enjoyed my poker,finishing a huge £18.37 up on the day !
Played the £5.5k BH tonight. ......... Going for back to back BH main events, but plopped out in 13/454. A nice little cash of £72 + change ............ a profit on the night.
The Tikay Omaha challenge was something of a minor miracle with me landing 5th place in the first heat. Unfortunately my true ability shone through in the second heat when being outfished by Bigshann in about 15th place. Not sure how the creative accountancy will work but Tikay might take it down.
Must learn take a step back (as opposed to forward) when Tikay asks for volunteers. )
Had to put this on here......this was in the £250 late nite B/H......I WON but only got ONE head so 2nd place cashed for more than me!!!....You have just got to love this game of poker sometimes (cheers for the banter aswell TOBY, I bet you would not of put money on me to win it when on that bubble!) 1) MAXALLY - £60 + £28.11 Head Prizes + 30 League Points2) bighook - £37.50 + £54.38 Head Prizes + 26 League Points3) sunan1984 - £22.50 + £13.13 Head Prizes + 18 League Points4) djblacke04 - £16.50 + £31.88 Head Prizes + 12 League Points5) sugu - £13.50 + £3.75 Head Prizes + 6 League Points
Last night I managed a triple blob...... one blob, two blob in the Tikay Omaha thingymablob ......... so, no surprises there then.
Blobbed out early doors in the Open too.
But........... I was doing rather well 'elsewhere' in what used to be my favourite tournament of the evening. I was flying until, at about 10pm, the phone rang. One of our girls is away at a school camp this week and it was one of the teachers on the phone. Our girl had taken ill and was coming home so I had to abandon ship and drive to meet them half way. I then spent an hour sitting on Llandegla Moor waiting for them.......... they got lost!
After a nights sleep our girl is fine (it was her first time away and it all got a bit too much for her I think) and that's far more important than any tournament. I will however be stopping my estimated winnings from her pocket money ......... I think that's only fair! )
Played tikays omaha challenge last night, came last, played sooo bad its unreal, i went in expecting to come last so that didnt help. After that I did win my first mtt on sky tho wooohoooo only 25 runners but it was just good to get that first win out of the way. Gareth Posted by 35suited

That is spot on Mr woof. I do remember mine which was way back in October last year but I have managed a few since.
I am told that Tikay remembers his........He was playing with 2 sharks......2 fish......2 monkeys and the dealer's name was Noah. He told me it was on one of the first cruise ships built aswell.
finished nite on a high finally took down a BH buy-in was £2-30 dtw DTWBANDIT 344000 1 £46.44 + £22.33 Head Prizes + 20 League Points 8 TENOFSPADE 0 2 £27 + £13.35 Head Prizes + 16 League Points 13 Brothy123 0 3 £18.92 + £12.84 Head Prizes + 14 League Points 10 Posted by DTWBANDIT
decided to use some of me profit from above entered 5-75 BH came 4th am getting used to BH now dtw
it sucked, was in 10th position to win £750 this jerk went all in with A3 and hit the A, needless to say i went all in with my two kings. its hard to believe, one person can hit cards with looser cards, and alway win, makes you wonder, what really going on.
i am a new poker player, how do you deal with a person always raising every hand, never giving others a chance to see if they hit the flop, suggestions please

Going off the nature of your question, I would seriously suggest you get some experience on the play tables or in the poker school. Also read Harrington on Holdem books 1 and 2.
In answer to your question: There is no hard and fast rule on this and you may get a dozen variations on what to do about it, all of which will be correct. Gather some knowledge and experience before committing real money to the game. If you don't it will be a very expensive and frustrating learning curve.

Nice one Digger long may it continue.
I had a double plop on Sky in the Sleepy and the Deepy. I had another game elsewhere and cashed in 14/450'ish at 1am. The bubble took forever in this. And .............. I had a little session of cash Omaha (I thought it was a holdem table) and came out ahead ............ wow! A profitable night eventually
had a quick attempt at a £2.30 scary tourney and early exit so off to the cash table. 4c, 8c so sat down with £10.00. Went bust after making a button raise with 10 4 o. i hit two pair on the flop and my c bet was reraised and i called an all in to find myself up against 66. river card was a 6. ouch. reloaded and eventually left the table 3 buy-ins up.
Plopped out of Orfordable and the Primo just before the bubble, so .............
Went and played a couple of hours cash - 15/30 and 20/40 - one table of each.
Finished up about 2.5 BI's up on each so a nice finish to the evening. I'm getting a taste for this cash business but it doesn't half give me a headache.

Plopped out of BH early on, but covered my entry fee with bounty's won.
Played 3 cash tables (max 2 at a time). Lost 2 BI's on 15/30 table, had a terrible time of it, couldn't hit a thing. Won on the 2 x 25/50 tables though. One BI up on one and 4.5 BI's up on the other, so that's a profit of ....... errrrrr, well it's a profit.
Had a great game on one of the 25/50 tables, great banter good fun. That Dylan is one mean player with a great sense of humour. Best night on cash so far.
