    Back on some pokers.


    Firstly thank you all for your kind messages, on sky, on facebook and some via text. I know it means alot to me and to mel. 

    So back to some poker today. The pc i ordered last week also arrived, during lifts to and from the hospital i got a lift from the friend who built it on mates rates, it got dropped off then. 

    I decided to give it a test to where i know my brain was. I asked a friend to load a joinme link, he didnt even watch but was obviously running so taking up computer usage. i had skype open in a group chat, and had 6 tables. If my brain, hands and eyes where fast enough i could still have reacted to much much more on this pc. a Huge improvement from the tilting at lag on the previous machine. 

    The session its self went really well. I have to admit i was really comfortable playing and it showed. I made a few mistakes, not going to lie, but went well. 

    I started strongly, then had a rough patch, however my aggression seemed to annoy so many people, the amount of very very light 3b/4bs i was being faced with was lovely. Not something you see every day. Although i must say i enjoyed it. One resulted in a huge cooler i was on the right end of, he 3b 45o i called with 22. flop 245r. 

    Bankroll: £236.67 (First winning session for a while)

    Early Morning Session

    Had a really fun early morning hour on NL10. Have to admit disappointed with the result, but a huge number of redic crazy hands. 

    Wont name names, but i know one person who probably got into the most crazy hands with me has posted in here a few times so may admit to it. 

    Anyones one pretty mental hand early on where i got A9 v AT into a 4b pot v a reg. It resulted in me losing a 400BB pot. - how did that happen. 

    I then ran AK into the same regs KK - obviously a massive cooler given previous hand. AK was actually a horrible hand for me last night, i had a weird pot with AK v 9T. The reg from above hands opened the button. SB peeled i 3b my AKs. Reg folds SB peels, pot is now £2.70 and he has £5.10 back. flop 9TQ with 2 clubs, giving me 2 overs, NFD and a gutshot. He donk shoves and holds. 

    Another hand later seen me 3bet AK again. Then folding on river on a board of KQxQA. 

    Bankroll: £210.63

    Yeah i agree. I was 6 tabling at one point HU on 2 and 3 handed on another but the one that was most fun was one where it was me u and someone agro lad 3 handed. Not very often you see 6 bet pots at NL10 :D

    Yeah mate :)

    The AQ hand i would never normally ship there but i knew the guy norm plays at much higher stakes and was splashing around abit so actually expected a call from much worse than what i had and was happy to race for the stacks there.

    If you saw the QQ hand v his 22 later on where he floped a set that was just as Redmond said on the show, i was gonna just station him to river but the board ran out pretty ugly for me putting a Ace, King and poss straight there by the river and like i told you plenty times mate if you watch for players tendencies during hands some of them almost play their hands face up at times and although he was being aggro pre flop i had never seen him firing full pot on all three streets at any point without a monster so that combined with the way the board ran out made it a easy fold on river.

    Hope to see you on the tables tuesday for the lolz.

    Good luck.

    Daz.

    22nd April

    So i Didn't sleep last night. I had planned a 4 hour afternoon session. Unfortunetly my mate challenged me to total war: Shogun 2 - my competitive edge took over, and 10 hours later we still hadn't finnished we eventually had to giver up for him to go to work. 

    So instead of playing i slept. 

    Its not too bad it saves mel getting up at night if we're awake. Although I have to sleep tonight as we have an appointment to register him tomorrow.

    Anyways i decided to play, i origonally thought for an hour, but was closer to 2 hours. 

    Some crazy hands, early on got KK v Q8o all in pre for like 200BB effective stack. 

    The session did slow for a while but i was winning slightly more than losing. In the end i finnished a nice 3 buy ins up. I also got £12 for my cash in yesterdays mini primo - which was all in played.

    A very late update


    Erm where to start. Firstly i havent played much. One medium session, +£27 for that.

    Mel also final tabled for the first time on friday - a £2.30 (£250 GTD) bounty hunter. Think she ended up 3rd for like £16, horrid payout. If she wins her standard exit i think she goes onto winning. 

    The weeman also seems to be getting big already. 

    Will update properly more often, thought this would be a massive post and my mind is gone blank. 

    Bankroll: £277.35

    Hey Mate,

    Glad thingsare going well. And nice profit! 10% of your bankroll.

    Is it just 5p 10p you play? How do you think it plays there versus 2p 4p?

    I'll sit down at one of your tables mate, if your playing 10nl over the next couple of days.

    I'm going to give a bit of 10nl a go as well as 2p-4p. I'll just be 1 tabling cash, and prob playing a few hus games at the same time to keep me focussed. Times i've player at 10nl before, it's not been that much different, maybe a few more bluffs/ slightly tighter.

    I'll see you at a table soon:D

    Cheers mate

    In regards to Rangers, we will be back and we will be alot stronger for it. The problem i see is with Murray and his EBT scheme - weather proven legal or not, Craig Whyte - how he ever got a football club ill never know. Now it seems Charles Green has some skeletons, the only wway i see us going forward now is if we are fan run.

    Cheers. NL10- does play slightly differently players will mix it up a little. Some players sit there tighter than well i wont go there. Others can be super aggro. Id say there is fewer fish but thats not a problem. 

    I'd be happpy to share a table with you for a while. Not sure when ill be playing tho.

    Another update

    So i finally managed to get a full 1 hour session - hooray. I also havent ben sleping well of late this is the issue. Im in some totally horrid sleeping routine, Ive stayed awake today to try get some normalty. Rangers title party has helped. 

    Lol at the BBC, again managing to get banned from Ibrox for not being fair or truthful apparently. Im not sure what i believe but considering the ban from this current Rangers board i have no reason to dispute it. However i expect the club to be fined for the issue. 

    As for next season i cant wait to see Cammy Bell in a Rangers shirt, really rated him as a keeper for years. I literally commented 2 years ago tipping him as the ideal replacement for Alan McGregor, although since the recent changes i never thought id see it. 

    I also hope to see some more signings, Goian and Bocanegra return. Really hope we keep Carlos. Id like to see us continue to develop youth players too. 


    Anyways off football. I played a small session as mentioned. I played for just over an hour. Lost some won some, some very crazy hands. 

    Bankroll: £288.53
