Marching on!!

Well thats March sorted!! Its been quite ok on the pokey front....a couple of mini mtt cashes & a 200 buck bung for a 4th in the 2k gtd pushed the roll up a bit!!
With a bit of bonus for cashing in points my actual BR is now at 830 bucks & i hope to break the bag of sand mark by the end of April.



I also want my mtt volume to go up as i seem to be doing ok at them.....only time will tell!!

I see that Rooney could be out for up to 4 weeks,now as a Chelsea fan thats good (massive game on saturday!) but as an Englishman its a disaster......if he's not fully fit,where are our world cup goals coming from? Defoe? Carlton Cole? Bent? Crouch? Me!!!??
I bet Capello is cacking himself...............that will teach English clubs for all the foreign signings (not that the foreign club managers give 2 fucks about the national team!!!)
A good point in this debate is Wenger,no English starters in the team....it was only when he bought on Walcott that they looked a bit sharper & earned a hard fought draw. (god help them in the away leg!!)
Perhaps the club managers dont pick English players because we are all shite....but ffs,play them more & we might improve & not have to rely on none of them getting injured.

Anyhow,ta for dropping by & glglgl on the tarbs.

Blackburn??...like...wtf!!!

What the foook are we doing going 1-0 up & only managing a poxy draw against Blackburn!!??
Now with all due respect to Sam's boys...this is a game we should be winning by a large margin,the boys must have known that the dirty Mancs had won & only 3 points was acceptable.
Ok,we are still 3rd with a game in hand but all the time we dropping points its going to harder to claim 1st spot.......and the Gooners have got a far easier run in than us.....jeeeeeeeez us!!!!!!!!

Any how,thats the Chelsea rant over!!
I had my best result so far on UB with a 4th in a $20 2K GTD mtt,shame the numbers were down but the 207 bucks helps my BR!!
I'm on about 850 bucks now (i even swapped some UB points for cash) & dont forget its all mine,even the 1st 50 buck deposit was a free promotion from Poker Source....its all good!!
I'm still plugging away at the stt's & HU (fuck knows why i play HU games...they tilt the fuck out of me!!) but i really want to find the time to put a bit of volume into mtt's.....with a bit of patience i know i can get some good results. Heres my 4th place from the other night'



Back to earth last night in the same format tourney.......5 hands in and my AA double me against AK but 20 minutes later i run KK into AA aipf!! No way can i muck KK here pre flop....if you say you can then you're either super natural or a fucking liar!!

A quick congrats to Greg on the RTR forum who binked 700 bucks the other night on FT.......nice one fella you lucky git!!!!

Right....glglgl to you all & ta for reading!

Feeling Blue!!

A sad night for the Glorious Blues last night but thats the way it goes!! Early doors we had a huge penalty shout turned down but if the ref doesnt see it/didnt want to give it/bottled it then so be it.........blind twat !!!
Ironic that it was Etootootoo (whatever!!) who scored,he also did when Barcelona did us a while ago......sigh!

On a brighter note the pokes is looking good,i binked a mtt the other night,shame it was a tiny turn out $3 affair that only netted 40 odd bucks,then last night 17 bucks for a 4th place.
I hit the FT in 2nd spot & was cruising for a top 3 place but suffered connection problems,i ended up turning the lappy off & re booting but it all went too slow,i finally got back on & had dribbled down to 3.5k in chips when the blinds were 800/1600!!
I managed to shove A rag into 55 as i was so short & 4th it was!!
I e mailed UB support with my concerns as i have never had any issues before with signals etc but they replied this morning with a generic statement blaming my wi-fi/router/comp set up & just about everything else..........strange how its never their fault!!!!

So my recent run has seen my BR go to over 600 bucks,i feel confident to crack on with slightly higher buy in mtt's so lets go for it & see where it takes me!!

glglgl on the tarbs to you all.

'No one likes us' & a 2nd!!

Well back from Brum after 10 days on the sauce (and obv loads of hard work!!)
On the tues we belted down the M6/M1 to see Millwall play MK Dons,i must say its a good stadium and i can see when it will be finished why they have put themselves forward to be a national venue.
My boss is an ardent Millwall fan,exec box down at the New Den & in the terraces at the away games...........(no more on that!!!!) We must have picked the coldest night of all year to go,they were still shovelling snow away with 30 minutes to go!!
I must admit the fans were realy pleasant especially to MK manager Paul (ex-hammer) Ince!!!
Errrrrrrr,yeah rite!!!!!
Anyway, we (i say we as i was with the gaffer) won 3-1,a good result & a right good laugh!!

We stayed in Solihull for the duration,i will recommend Zizzi's for the Italian grub & the Slug and Lettuce for the evenings boozing!!!

Since ive been back i have dabbled a bit on line,tonight i played the $5 mtt that attracts a small field & got 2nd! Am i ever going to win 1 of these fuckers? Lots of FT's,it must come soon!!
The winnings with several bountys was about 90 bucks so i'm happy with that!!



Right,take it easy & glglgl.

Sharky for feb & lol @ B Sq!!!!!!!

Well i'm off to Birmingham for a week so it's the end of month report!!



My Roi is still the same as at the beginning of the month,i have played 454 games (not alot by some standards but good for me!!) & my total profit has gone up by 135 bucks. Now in theory i should be on more than that with the amount of games played but i had a couple of small times when it went really pear shaped!! My sharkscope graph for this month looks like the Alps,its only in the last week or so that ive got out of the slump & battled back to above where i started (which i'm obv well pleased about!!) I reckon if i didnt have to go away then i would have gone over the $400 profit mark & next month i hope to reach at least $500.(and dabble in a few more small buck mtt's!!)
My overall BR on UB is $453 (which includes all bonus' etc so at least i'm properly rolled (imo) for the $5 stt's which i was taking a risk on up until recently..........as for the fact that i've been playing a few $6 & occasional $10 games......well,no guts,no glory!!!!!!!

I was at work today reading my personal e-mails when i saw i had one from Blue Square,now i have only played free rolls on there a few months ago (my sn on there is toobloo) & the e-mail stated they had put some money into my a/c.............fanfuckingtastic i thought...more dough for nothing,lets hope i can make it work like on UB!
The trouble at work is our poxy comps are banned from certain subjects so i obv couldnt get on to B Sq to see how much i had.....(we guessed 5 or maybe even 10 bucks at least!!)
So i get home & have a look.................64 fucking pence!!.....yes......sixty bastard four shitty pence.
They had very kindly given me a whole dollar that converts on my a/c to 64p!!!!!!!!!!
So no problems i think.....what can i play??? Not a fucking lot is the answer,not even a 1 buck buy in as the rake is another 10 cents!! So i stick to a 20 cent 9 player stt (i think it was this tiny amount!!).....obv being a poker superstar i pwn the spakky lot of them & take 1st place..........for the grand prize of 1 dollar!! Now my a/c states the huge amount of £1.12........or a massive 2 bucks!! wow.....i have just joined the high rollers,next stop Bobbys room!!!!!!!!!

Right then,enough allready,i've got to be up at 5 o/c in the morning (fml!),see you in about 10 days.
glglgl on the tarbs.

A 4th & JT is god!!!

Carrying on from my last post,Ultimate Bet might be unsuitable for us UK players in the evening as they have very little traffic.....but the standard must be uber shitty!!
This can be backed up as i managed another FT in their 5 buck tourney!!
4th to be precise & with a couple of bountys it was worth just under $50. It took 4 poxy hours to get there and my progress hasnt been meteoric but i'm still happy with my play.
Obv it could have been better.....i started the FT in 4th & wanted to play super aggro to chip up quickly. I then in the space of 6 hands jizzed off a huge chunk against the shortys. 1st running AK into A rag....obv the twat hits his rag,then AK again into JJ........obv i river the K but only after matey flops his 3rd J!!! *sigh*
So i'm now short but it goes mental including the 2 big stacks colliding plus some hero shoves & we are down to 4.
I exit when short shoving the lot with 77 v KQ that finds a K to kick me into touch....gg me!!



Interesting to see on Sharky that the 3 that finished above me are all in the red with negative ROI's (unlike me,brag,brag!!).......I'l be back mofos seeking revenge!!!!

Finally,we all know about the John Terry saga,loads of people slating him etc (gatsby even awarded him knob of the month.....allthough this was probably in honour of the tireless work his knob has been getting through just recently!!!!!!!)......now i might be a tad biased but like WTF..........Capello strips him of the captaincy but gives it to a clearly unfit geezer who not so long ago ''accidentaly'' ducks out of 2 (yes at least 2) official drugs tests....i wonder why he did that!!!!!!!
Ferdinand is never going to be properly match fit in time for the World Cup (or in my mind good enough) to replace JT as Captain...................Capello..you're a mug........get real!!!

Right.....i'm off to Birmingham on sunday for a week of boozing & missbehaving cunningly diguised as work,so maybe no more pokes this month,a post before i go showing my stats to date will follow in the next 2 days.

glgl to you all

Mini,mini,tiny cash!!!

Wow,Ultimate Bet is really busy when its convenient for us UK players!! (about 9.30 in the evening)
At least i cashed i suppose,matey knocked the last 2 out so had a huge CL going into HU.
O well,next time!!

Mistakes are costly!!

Getting better at these mtt's imo,just got to sort the mistakes out! I was coasting along quite nicely & gtd a final table when i fucked up big style. I get 10 10 in fairly early position but only decide to mini raise....the BB completes as its worth it with the antes etc,it flops Q55,I have a think,half pot it & he shoves,i call. Obv he 's got 54 o/s & its ta ta me!! Now i know he could have ATC here but i still had me ahead,any Q or 5 & i reckon he flats & lets me hang myself (which i did anyway!!!) O well,i made a huge few bucks profit,about5!!!! And it makes a change from the stt's. glgl.. smoothplz

The 1st of Feb allready!!!!

When i posted my Sharkscope numbers for 1st jan they read 191 games & a total profit of $65.......On feb 1st they look like this;


So all told i'm quite pleased,my overall BR including initial bonuses stands at £326 so i'm heading in the right direction.
Imo I goofed pretty bad by playing far too many HU games just to clear my bonus,my best results are playing 9 & 6 player stt's and not at the high variance HU tables. I reckon if i'd stuck to the stt's i wouldnt have got so much bonus ....BUT...i would have ended up winning more!! O well,we live and learn i suppose!!
I only had 60 days to clear the promo dough & that expired yesterday so i'm going to concentate on what ive being doing best at,and maybe a few small buy in mtt's............lets see where this takes us!!
Now i'm not saying i'm the next WSOP champ but the general standard on UB is fucking shocking imo!! I cant wait to get some more volume in & hopefully improve my stats (my ROI needs some improvement for a start,but that may be down to a couple of dodgy sessions where i ran like poo & too many HU games).......mark my words...it will be over 10% & total profit over 400 bucks by 1st March..............................................i hope!!
Ta for dropping by & glglgl on the tables.

smoothplz.

Well,we are about half way through the month & it's going like this!!



I'm doing ok if i say so myself, my overall BR is $250 (remember that i was gifted the 1st 50 bucks from UB so it's all mine!!! The good news is i'm just about properley rolled for the $5 games which does make my decisions a bit different. This would appear a bit weird as effectively i'm free rolling every game but i want to do well & succeed so i do play the best i can instead of thinking 'fuck it,its not my money!!!'
The extra money is coming via the volume,allthough nearly 400 games in 6 weeks is bugger all to you seasoned grinders,it's quite a lot to me!!! Also it helps me to dismiss the appalling beats that occur from time to time,if i was playing only 1 game at a time and got rivered by some numptys A4 v my AK it was a kick in the balls.....but by playing 3 or 4 games at once its still annoying but i just crack on with the other games!!
As you can see by a big dip in the graph,shit happened last week when fuck all held up & i basically got dry bummed,but hey ho,i pushed on & did better than before!!
So far then,jobs a good un,lets hope it continues & i can maybe push on a bit more.

p.s. ive just checked & the pictures shit!!..click on it & magnify your screen to 200 % and its a lot better.....this is mainly for Snake..........you blind sod!!!!!! lol
glgl to you all.

Happy new year!

A Happy New Year to you all & i hope 2010 is a good one for all of us!!!

Right then,heres my stats as of today,i started on the 1st Dec with $50 that was a freebie promo offer on UB and as you can see i need a bit of consistensy!! The red lines up & down like Jordan's thong,i also need a bit more volume,less than 200 games in a month is not good!

Hopefully with a few more games and a bit more attention to the stt's as opposed to the HU then i can get my roi up and start building my BR. Wish me luck!!

Thanks for reading & glgl in 2010 to you all. smoothplz.
