No posts in past few weeks basically means not been playing or getting any beats, run bads, playing shit etc so don't have any moaning to post..lols
Actually been a shed load of DIY. plastering, tiling, painting etc. House has been very chaotic. For a couple of weeks I couldn't even see my desk, let alone play poker on it.
Got another couple of weeks of work to do then will looking to hit the poker hard again. Been very busy at work too, and doing extra hours.
All this is geared towards putting the house on the market in April, with the aim of selling and getting a bigger place. This will mean me being able to have a room that I can use as an office/sports/gym room....weeeee

On the poker front I will be aiming at the 45 and 180 manners on stars, and caning the DoNs for RB.
Lots of good threads on blonde atm for betting, especially Tikay's betting thread. I haven't bet in months, bug defo getting the bug again, will also be doing some of this on betfair once house is sorted out.

Played on stars tonight in a couple of their tournies with thousands of runners. Usual bullshit still occuring.
Running well in one tourney then get AA - 44. As seems abso standard in these spots this year a 4 hits the fucking river, all in pre of course.
Then lose another chunk when my 77 is no good v a bb call with Q5o which gets there. Then get finished off when I shove my shortish stack on the button with A7dd into the BBs JJ. Not even the 2 diamond flop helps, sigh.

Aside from one tourney, 2012 has been a blowout. Running fucking terrible, in all aspects it seems.

Asked some people who know these things about the new coach proposed by Moshman. The result was what I thought. The coach doesn't have the pedigree. Certainly not for the profit they would be looking at.

After my somewhat rant in my last post regarding ipoker, all of which still stands/ I was still left in the daily dollar..lols
This is a dollar entry, but has a slower structure than the $10 and $15 tourneys!!!
Ended up finishing around 40th from a 1000odd for about $3...lol
Had one player who after being gifted a triple up in the first level limp/called every hand. Obv his pile of shite constantly caught 2 pair, trips, flushes etc. Think he finished about fifth!
That was my first cash in about 25 tournies. haven't cashed since.

Today i played the Apat tournament at the Rendezvous in Brighton. Was always around average, slightly above for first 5 levels, then just kept getting either called or reraised and kept missing flops. Only saw 1 decent pair KK, which got me the blinds at 25-50..lol
One player was active and was getting big hands and hitting flops, constantly. I was slightly below ave when i called a shorties push with 77. Was looking good v A8, especially as said active player passed and showed an ace. Flop was 86x sigh. Turn was a 5. The 865 were all spades, as was one of my 7s. Despite this I couldn't catch a 4,7,9 or a spade to catch one of my million outs. Then pushed my A6 with 15 bigs from the button into the sb's AJ, sigh.
Casino is fucking useless tbh. I haven't been there for years and while the room is plenty big enough, the service is fucking awful.
They had 2 staff to cover the bar and the valet at the tables and food orders!!! Fucking ridic when hosting a tourney of 100+ people. I bought a coke and it not only tasted fucking disgusting, but was £2.70 like WTF?
Then there was the dinner break. It was 30 mins. Fucking ridiculous. No buffet and pointless ordering food in casino as all the locals stated it takes them 2 hours to fulfill an order on a quiet night!!! Was also fucking hot in there.
Not that it bothers me but lols that they allow people in wearing tracksuits and trainers!!!

Have had a change of plan with the coaching. Aiming for the 45 and 180 manners on stars. Just waiting to see if the coach is any good for this. awaiting answers from some people that will know!
Will need to get Holdem manager, SNGwiz, skype and team viewer. Whoever said this poker lark was cheap!!!
May also need a new laptop to make sure it all runs okay. If this is the case it may well be gg Vegas at the end of the year. Only spare money I have is in dollars, so may have to cash that in to get a lappie and the software required, sigh.

Am off for a couple of days now so will do a mini Sunday schedule. One time for a comma bink. Not much to ask for is it!!!!1

Can go fuck itself. Absolutely fucking steaming from the amount of bullshit there.
Lobbys never work, every fucking night the lobbys freeze or are at least 30 mins behind, havent got a fucking clue where I am in tournies.
They dont show ave stack and position on info tab, what the fucking point in having one.
Tables don't pop up when action on you, doesn't even flash in the tab most of the time.

Thats nothing compared to the utter arse raping I been getting lately.
Tonights exits have been:
JJ v 22 - he limp calls pre and hits quads
AJ v AQ - short stack pushed, I called which left me ridic short
AQ v A6 - flops the 3 outer
AJ v 1010 - Ace high flop, 10 on board by the end


Soooo fucked off, never gone 25 tourneys without a cash before. That doesnt sound like much but on ipoker only have a max of 4 on the go at once, often less. These are also micros so buyins only upto and including $15 tourneys. Actually winning at the $15 tourneys, getting 2 outered every $10 tourney and about even overall on the $5 tourneys.

Need to find another site, will run out of current roll on ipoker soon. Might go back to stars and grind the 45 man.
Don't think i'll take the coaching route for MTTs, don't think it is moshmanns strengths. The shit coach was one thing, but having already mentioned several times I am playing on ipoker they again asked this morning which site i'm playing on!!! Only heard good things about their stt coaching so might do that instead for 45 and 180 mans on stars.

My runbad continues apace. Have burnt through 65% of the roll I had on ipoker at the start of the year. Still getting fucked continously. Even more ridic when you see donkeys constantly getting stacks by playing fucking awful.

These are my latest awesome bust hands:

JJ v KQo - it goes raise, me 3 bet kq guy call and obvo flops the Q
AK v AJ
AJ v AK - short stack that pushed from cutoff in unopened pot
AQ v 77
AJ v A3
A10 v AJ - the aj guy limped utg then called my push
AQ v KK - my button v BB
AJ v AK - ak guy limps oop then snaps my shove
A5s v 66 - button v BB
JJ v 1010 - 10s rivered of course
A10 v KQ - rivered a 4 flush
89s V AQ - button v bb. The bb hadnt played a hand in 4 rounds
KK v AQ

Pretty fucking sick all in all. Two of those hands against the same player. He always limps/ calls pre with big hands. Always catches too. He had AQ in the last hand. So pissed off at the moment.

Contacted a site re: mtt coaching. Was really keen but they sent the screen name of the coach and he is fucking terrible. Apart from one small period in 2011 is a losing player. Even I rank higher in OPR % stats for stars. Soooo fucking lol, even more so that they want a potential several $k for it. Fucking lunacy

Been seriously thinking of getting some coaching for mtts. I have never had any before and to be honest i'm not really sure where my game is at.
In the past year I have been thinking about staking and made a few preliminary enquiries. The staking wasn't what I was really interested in, more the coaching that may come with it.
One reason I have always avoided coaching has been that with me playing micro stakes, a lot of lines/thinking in hands often don't apply. Micro donks just don't play that way. The cost is also prohibitive when only playing micros.
This year though I really want to move up in stakes. My regular mtts on ipoker had been the $5 jobbies. These usually have between $500-900 for first. I'm up slightly in these but run terrible a lot of the time, lots of donks to avoid. Lately have been adding the $10-15 tourneys in and have done okay in them.
Want to build the roll and be playing any tourneys up to $50 and across other sites.

Had been looking at sites bankrollsupply, as obviously they have ipoker as one of their sites. Though i'm in profit I doubt I have the games played they would be looking for.
At present I like the look of Team Moshman and their coaching set-up. Really like the coaching coming out of profits rather than a set fee up front. There has been plenty of so-called coaches in the poker world giving crap advice and basically 'doing a runner' with the money.
Will have to find out the finer points as obvo I work fulltime and have a family, so can't be mass grinding every day to play a ridic amount of games.

Another point of view may be that i'm moaning about nothing, my ROI is probs fine for mtts and just need to ride the varience. Alternatively i'm just shit...lols

If anyone knows of decent coaching/staking leave a comment!!!!

Soooooooooooooo fucking pissed off.
been getting absolutely fucked all night. 3 tourney at the same time go pushing my sb into the BB. Twp call with shit and hit the other has not played a hand and wakes up with AQ.
Lose another when AA gets fucked on the river by QQ
Lost everytime I had A9+ go up against a small pair. Never made my draws, again cant get there with nut flush/straight draws against a single pair. Fucking ridiculous

Have dropped a third of my bankroll on ipoker the past few days. Running fucking redic.

As you can tell from the post my 'mental game' is obvo at its best...lols

Can't help but lose pounds. Without even trying lost 6lb this week for the weightless prop thing on blonde

Completely fucking pissed off atm.
Not won a fucking penny tonight playing a number of tournaments. Been plenty of sickness though.
Exits have been:
QQ v AQ. A on the river, where the fuck else
Button A7 v AJ bb
AQ v JJ money goes in A high, J river
A2 v 98
AK v JJ
AJ v AA money in on flop with nut flush draw/straight draw
A4sb v KKbutton this 9 spots off the money

Never hit a single draw all night, missed flops continously, general run like shit

Soooo many retards about too. Only one player that bust me actually cashed, fkn redic.

Have played a few tournies on differing sites the past couple of days and all have had a recurring theme - Fucking me over on the river.
Have had Aces cracked 3 times today, countless times have retards drawing to 3 aces on the river and them always getting there. Have seen ridiculous amounts of flush/straight draws get there on the river. A few times I hit a flush, the oppo had a bigger one. Running abso terrible at showdown.
Last tourney on ipoker there were 18 left and I was about 9th. Get AK but its no good vs the chippies J9hh which catches a flush on the river. Was for a 60k pot that puts me third.

Fucking annoying running so bad when deep. Really had a grip on the oppos too. had been short stacked, very short 4 tables out,but had build a stack without ever going to showdown. Mainly just picking off oppos weak raises/steals.

Had a ridic tourney on 888. 1300 players and paid out top 250. I finished 151st and only got back half my buyin, fucking ridic set-up there. Obvo keeping the fish happy.
888 has got to be the softest site out there at the mo. No one seems to have a fucking clue what they are doing. The software tilts the fuck out of me, also lags a fair bit, escpecially when you have other sites running.

Going to look for a desk over the coming days, been having a clear out just need to replace my computer desk with a proper one. The pc desk is not wide enough, and I cant get a chair right underneath it

Made a withdrawal from ipoker today, mainly to pay for buyin to apat tourney in Brighton this month.
Play a couple of tourns on ipoker. First one go out with KK v A3 on a 9 high flop. He obvo got there after pushing the flop!
Then lost several small pots in another, kept flopping huge draws and never getting there. One retard had me twice, asically limping in multiway pots with big pairs JJ and KK and calling all bets no matter the board. I sure got there, sigh.

Just after regging for that tourney ipoker software decides to fuck up completely, lobby completely fucked, so no grind for me this evening there.
Would have been my first session of the year. So much for the plans to grind. just haven't been arsed to play this year.

Have started exercising again today, for this prop on blonde. Eating okay but not great. don't really give a fuck though really, always lost weight by exercise rather than diet, eat pretty healthy much the time.

Work tomorrow so no grind on stars tonight. Will look on 888 and IPN/boss for a few games.
