I had a "quick" 6 seater on omaha - I came 3rd due to some fish getting lucky on the river.  But it was a good game and I haven't played omaha in a long time.  I had some nice hands too.

Also played a game on www.islandpoker.com - an MTT.  (I did speak to live chat and ask if they would give us some no deposit chips but nothing doing at this time - sorry folks)

It got so late I had to throw it at 2 a.m. as I had work in the morning and had to be up at 6 a.m.  But I was doing well and was gutted I had to leave the game.  Probably should have posted and folded and I may have come in the money as I came 13th when I threw it.  It was a small starting field but was a rebuy and addon.  Not overly keen on these games but the real poker play doesnt start until after the first break.  Its all fishy muppets trying to get lucky with rubbish up to that point.

An enjoyable game nonetheless and some really nice people on that site - mainly Canadians.  Next time, I won't play that tourney unless Im not working the next day!

How are you getting on Mago666?

Good luck with the exams. 

Im in the middle of an MTT - currently 4th and i just hit a straight flush.  This player had been raising my BB every hand and I was folding and folding anyway - I'd had enough so I called his raise.  I had A4 suited clubs.  Flop comes 825 all clubs.  So I just went all in and the other players called.  He had pocket Aces    Turn comes 3c - yay straight flush for me and he has no chance of winning. 

Made the final table - only top 6 pay!

7 left - on the bubble now

Managed to scrape 5th - at least I won some cash back. 

Well after being give 5 bucks by poker stars I've had a buck sitngo and won that.  Now Im in a 360 entrant MTT and there are 5 of us left.  Entry was a mere 10c and as Im writing this there now only 3 of us left.  Prizes are good for the entry price - worst for 3rd is 4 bucks and best is 1st for 8.50.  Good return for 10c.


Well after a huge bad run of crappy cards and bad luck I came 3rd - was winning on my final hand with just ace high - and then the guy who called me with his "nothing hand" hit a 9 high straight on the river.

$4 in the bank and 3rd out of 360 is pretty good for 10c

Well I didnt do so well in the million dollar tourney - there were 7 people on the table sitting out and 2 others playing.  One was called Donkey something or other and he truly lived up to his name! 

He was betting like a muppet and stealing all the "post and folders" blinds and was trying to steal mine all the time too.  I called a few hands and beat him which showed the rubbish he was calling or raising with.

A good few hands in, Im big blind - he decides to go all in cos I clearly got to him and I'd seen some of the hands he was betting with so I called.  I had JK off and he had 9 10 off.  Flop comes down J4K so I hit two pairs and the turn was nothing much either.  I thought I was "in" and he was going to lose.  Then the river came - you can guess what I'm going to say it was - yep a Queen - the muppet hit his straight.  I was so mad I couldnt post this last night.  I dont normally get angry when I lose but this muppet just got lucky with his rubbish and that was his reward for bad play.

Needless to say I was knocked out and came 1000 and something. 

I also played a 5 bucks 10 seater sitngo on another site and happily came 3rd in that so won $10.  A better end to the evening at least.

I played a sitngo on Sky - cheap buy in and there was one good player on the table.

I managed to knock out two players in one go - I had AJ off suit and I raised big because I'd seen the hands that 3 of the others had been playing and I wanted to get them off their rubbish.  Needless to say two of them called.  I hit my jack on the flop - the other 2 cards were 7 and 9.  I went all in - they both called.  One had K7 and the other one had K8 !!!

Neither of them hit anything so I knocked em both out.

Came down to 2 of us and I was playing very aggressively.  Raising with Aces and huge raises with pairs.  The blinds were at 600/300 and everytime I got the other player down to low chips, he hit a great hand and won some back.

Finally I had Ace 7 and decided to put him all in - blinds were now up to 1000/2000.

He called and I hit my ace on the flop - he had king rag and I ended up winning the hand with my Aces.    I really enjoyed the game as the other player didnt play like a muppet and it was a quality game.

I really need to up my stakes now - playing these low limit sitngos are ok but Im not winning big.   I have always played low stakes poker and maybe its time to move up a notch.

Just played a cheap...and I mean CHEAP MTT sitngo - 360 entrants - and I came 24th which isnt bad.  Tripled my stake - which isnt much!

Had pocket Aces at one point and somebody raised so I decided to just go all in.  Two callers - one had KK and the other had JJ.  My aces held (which is rare) and I trebled up.  These chips kept me going for most of the tournament. 

Down to about $1400 in chips and the BB is on me at 600.  2 callers and I had A3 so I thought I would just throw my chips in and see what happens.  One person called and he had a small pair.  Flop comes Ace rag rag and my Aces held and I won the pot.

Blinds are now 1200 and Im getting low.  Im BB and this left me with 900 chips - cards are K6.  Flop comes down 10 6 3.  So I chucked all my chips in and two others called.  I beat one but the other had 10 rag and won.  He was getting lucky with rubbish most of the hands and needless to say, this hand was no different.  But 24th out of 360 was ok with me.
