Played both the main and mini. Crashed out of mini very early when got it all-in with nut flush draw on the flop and didn't hit. Went out the main at about 50mins. Lost majority of stack when re-raised all-in with QQ and got called by AK, only for A to hit on flop. This left me 500 chips and managed to get back up to 1100 chips and then got it all-in pre flop with A8 up against villain's J,10 only for the J to hit the flop. Not my night really.
Need Wigan to win now, so as to complete my treble.
Played some nl20 early in the evening and featured on Ch865, well when I say featured I mean I folded a few hands. Oh I also won a hand when I raised on the button got called by BB and SB, hit top pair on the flop C-Bet and got 2 folds. I am sure the viewing public really enjoyed that hand, do wonder why they pick some hands that get shown.
After that I entered Main and Mini. Didn't last long in Mini but did get to 45th in Main, missing cashing by 15 places.
All in all not a particularly great day and my BR has took a bit of hit in last couple of days. The good thing is that I play for fun and that is why I am not to worried about playing out of my BR limits.
Also decided that I am going to go PRO from tomorrow. Have decided that cash is tooo hard and better value elsewhere. I am going to focus on DYM's, play MTT's I cannot afford and then play on mastercash tables, even though I am not going to play cash, I cannot afford. I will then post imaginary winnings every day and watch my BR grow.
Glad to see my £3 treble on the football come in yesterday and placed a £6.50 double on Liverpool (knew that was easy money) and Birmingham to win in 90 mins tomorrow. Got 3/1.
For the third night running I played the Main and Mini event and went out in approx 200th in Main and 50th in Mini. I have decided that for the rest of May I am only going to play cash and focus on getting my BR up to £500 at which point I intend to step up to 30nl.
Also saw my double on Liverpool and Birmingham lose, although to be fair can't say Blackpool didn't deserve it and being a Villa fan can't say I was tooo dissappointed to see the bluenoses crash out and have to look forward to another season in the Championship.
Played very consistently for a session profit of £5.36.
Didn't really do much wrong and didn't get involved in any big pots.
Best news of the day was the sacking of Alex McLeish from my beloved Villa. It is imperative we now appoint the right man, no more f* *k ups - Don't want another Houllier or McLeish. What's really scaring me is when you look at the betting I can't see who we are going to get. Main favourites are Martinez, why would he come now when he wouldn't come last time, and Lambert, would love him but can't see why he would leave Norwich for us. God how the mighty have fallen.
What is scary is Steve Bruce is only 20/1 - Surely not another Blue Nose - The lessons must have been learnt.
Emile Heskey is 66/1 - LMAO.
I have a sneaky feeling for Alan Curbishley, available at 33's, former player, out of work, has proved can work on a limited budget.
Whoever it is lets hope its done soon so we can properly prepare for next season.
Played for a while tonight, a total of approx. 2.5hrs. Played pretty well I think and would have shown an OK profit for the session if not for following hand.

Expect a lot of people will be asking why the flat call on the flop. The reason being that I have a read on a player who was still to act and was hoping for a squeeze. Don't think it made much difference in this case as I think a re-raise by me pre-flop would have got a call from Beatnik anyway.
OMG I don't believe it. Mick mcarthy is now 2/1 to be next villa manager. Have you ever heard saying out of frying pan into the fire. This can't happen surely. What is going on!
First of all realy, really, really happy to see Mick Mccarthy has drifted back out to 7/1 for the Villa job, the 2/1 available late last night made it a very restless night of drifting in out of nightmares of Mick giving his usual excuses in post match interviews as I watched the Villa plunge into the Championship. Knowing the way things have been going lately at Villa Park I half expect to wake one morning to find Terry Connor in charge.
The other good news for us was the dismissal of King Kenny which should mean we have no chance of landing Martinez, a 9 game wonder manager, whose team even Villa managed to defeat last season. There really is only one choice for Villa to go after and that is Mr Lambert, a modern day MartinO'Neil with added flair and creativity.
Anyway back to the poker. Played 3 tables of 20nl, as is the norm these days and showed a small profit. Slowly, slowly catch the monkey as the saying goes. Found there were a lot of new faces at this level tonight which was nice to see. Pretty standard stuff all night with nothing much to report.
Another day another gamble on the Villa manager. This time its Ole's turn, and yet again its not really the type of manager we need or want at the villa. Who will the gamble be on tomorrow - David O'Leary perhaps. Had a pretty good session tonight and will show you 2 hands below, the first is pretty poor play by myself and looking back should have kept the pot much smaller. Only ever going to get called or raised by a hand I was losing to, in fact it was really terrible play by me.

The second I thought was really good, strong play by me and is shown below. Had him on either a draw or a really weak Q, thought he would never call a big bet on the river. This is when playing within your limits is so important as it means you aren't afraid to push on the river.
So befoe I sit down to play today a quick resume of what happened last night. For a change I made money on MTT's and lost it at cash.
Lost about £45 on the 20nl tables and won about £20 on the MTT's.
Cash losses were down to 2 things I believe. Firstly I ran pretty bad and secondly I was playing both MTT and cash at the same time. I don't think this works and have made a mental note to not do this again.
On the MTT front I played the £6k rebuy and the MINI, just in case. Despite saying I was going to concentrate on cash till the end of the month I reasoned that the buy ins were only £11 and £3 respectively so not going to damage my BR too much.
Went out very early in the MINI, dashing all hopes of the bonus, had already planned whet I was spending it on. A new car for the other half and a skiing holiday for me for next year.
Thought I played really well in the open. Didn't have to rebuy and was quickly up to 6k chips from starting stack of 2k. Took the add on for a total investment of £22. I was playing really well picking my spots and can't remember ever being all-in behind. Went through the bubble and was one of the shorties with 13k chips, still about 12 BB's so not quite panic situations. Then picked up the hand above and was just plain unlucky. Not surprised to see SNEDD finish 3rd, he was running like a god, saw him bust AA with 88 before busting my AA with KK. Although a bit gutted about the way I exited, as I did think I was playing the best I have played in a long time in a MMT and think a double up at that point may have lead to a substantial prize, I can't really complain as I did everything I could but it just wasn't to be my day.
Just had a really great session. Was 3 tabling 20nl and ended up with £40, £50 and £100 on each of the tables. £100 is the largest stack I can remember having on a 20nl table and made being the table captain very easy. Have to say I ran very well but was frustrated by one player who I know to be a huge fish from previous experience and was sat there with a stack of between £40 and £60 most of the afternoon and just kept out drawing people. For all I tried I never got in a position to relieve him of his stack and this is now the second time I have ended up in this situation, I will be defo looking out for him next time I play.
Anyway it is Saturday night and hence it is play time. Off out tonight with a group of about 8 of us, so will probably see you on the tables tomorrow. May have a crack at sateliteing into the primo, as playing best I have played for a while at the mo and belive it would be worth a shot.

I was sat at one of your your tables with about £60, I hope you are not talking about me?

It was neither of you. Think you weren't on the table in question donkeyplop, althought they do say if you can't tell the fish within 10 mins of sitting down it is probably you.
Seen far worse to be honest. Think there is a good solid bunch of regs at 20nl, yourself included, but there are 1 or 2 relatively fishy regs about, and then a fair amount of day trippers.
