Poker Update

Ok, where to start

Won a couple of small games, but nothing serious

Played a game on Virgin to win a seat to the Virgin Poker Festival in April up in Newcastle. The first week, i was bubble boy and finished 4th for 30 euros, top 3 all won seats worth 150 euros Anyway, the following week i managed to finish 2nd and get my seat, so looking forward to that

Tonight i played a few games, came 5th in the Poker United game, 25th in the Tony G game for a few more dollars and the sat down at 7pm to play a big one

Played the FTOPS $120 headhunter torney. Anyway when i was finally knocked out after 5 hours I ahd taken 2 heads ! LMAO

It started at 7 pm and there were 9003 players and it paid the top 1080, it had a fund of 900K!

I finally went out when i pushed on the BB with 44 and was called by the chip leader who showed Q 10 and hit her 10

Anyway, i managed 555th out of 9003, so happy with that, but gutted did not finish a bit higher! OH well, always next time

Good luck at the tables

Poker Update

Ok due to work not played as much as i want but getting back slowly

Played two tonight

The Poker Utd Freeroll which i won for a token to Sunday nights game

I then played the PokerKings League game which is over 5 weeks, i won that also for about 35 euros, but more importantly for the points

Happy New Year

Ok, back in the swing of things now the christams period has finally settled done

Ok, tonight played a £10 on Willy Hills but went out just after the first break for £0!

Next game was the Virgin freeroll and again went out early, so not a sgood start to the year

Then last but not least i played the Sunday Million with one of the tokens i won last month, i still have one left, anyway after 4 hours i managed to cash and then relaxed a bit, finally got caught out for most of my stack when i pushed with 55 and was called by A9 and the A of course hit!

Sunday Night Games

What a busy night

Ok, started of with the $10 Poker Utd game, anyway finished 3rd for about $35

Then played the esport end of season freeroll, out of 168 finished 32nf for $15 lol

We also did a equity scheme with our team and one of our players finished 3rd for $400, so we all get about $60

Then played the Sunday $200K, but just on to the 3nd hour pushed 5000 with KK and ran in to AA

Last but not least played the Bloggers Final. Anyway it started with 368 runners and paid the top 100. I was sitting in the top 20 throughout, but then with A3 on a board of A,10,3, i bet out 5000, raised by villian to $15ooo so i move all in, and he shows KQ, turn card nothing but the river he hits the Jack for a straight and a massive pot and im down to about 8000, and still 23 until the payout. Anyway i manage to hold on and finish 82 for a $83 ticket. I reckon that hand if i had won i would have definatly finished in the top 10, but i had to do it, just got unlucky

Oh well, always next time, i cant complain, i did get about $550 out of the weeks freerolls on Pokerstars, so a big thank you to them

Merry Xmas All and Good Luck At The Tables

Monday Night Games

Well played the PokerStars Blogger 1st qualifier tonight

Started at 19.30, anyway it was Limit Omaha, which is not my favourite, but decided to play really tight for the 1st hour as 72 qualified to the finals on Sunday

Anyway, with 450 runners i knew it was a long night. I finally managed to get to the 72, so got my ticket for Sundays final. Then once it got to 54, you could win steps tickets worth $27 and $82, anway shocked myself and managed to get through to that....And it continues, i then thought right try and make the final table which pays two $215 vouchers, so an additional $430, and i made it!

Finally finished in 4th, which is without doubt my best result at Omaha

Will try the other qualifiers this week, just to try and win tokens!

Good luck at the tables

Thursday Night Games

Well played two games tonight

1st was the Virgin points game, only played this to keep up with the league table which is run on punters lounge each month, im presently 4th, so gotta try and make 1st for xmas. Anyway, 123 runners and i got disconnected about 90 minutes in, gutted, i eventually finished 25th! Gutted as i was going ok and going for at least a top 20 position for more points

2nd Game was the $10K on Poker Utd, it had $5 buy in and was a turbo rebuy. 701 runners and paid the top 80. As you can imagine it was thick and fast. Anyway after 2 hours i managed to finish 15th for about $95, so gotta be happy with that i suppose

On punters lounge they have two promotions running at the moment, 1st one is with Stan james, its a 12 week league and your best 7 scores count. So far we have played 5, and i have 2 decent scores, 1st and 5th and im 4th in the league. 1st Prize in this is a WSOP seat to a $1500 event, there are a couple of other prizes for 2nd and third, but dont want them!

The other is just a monthly league on Poker Kings, it pays the top 5, i am currently 7th after 2 games, but plenty of time to improve as this month there are 5 games and best 3 scores count, i made the final table last time, just need to move up a bit or win one.

Well thats about it

Will update again, and no doubt quite a bot next week as im trying the Poker Stars Blogger Sats as the final has some great prizes

Good Luck all

Tuesday Night Games

Just the one game tonight and managed 5th. Im playing in a league which is over 12 weeks and best 7 results, played 4 so far and tonights is my second best result after winning it last week and im sitting 4th in the league, so feeling pretty confident
