On poker stars - I played a $1 sitngo - 45 players.
Was a good game and managed to come 3rd winning $7.
Tonight - played in a 45 seater again and came nowhere. I had AA and raised the BB 15 times - one caller.
Flop comes rubbish low cards 2J5 - opponent goes all in and I called. Opponent shows Ace 3 off suit!!!!!!!
Turn is an Ace I have trips and opponent has a pair of aces with a straight draw. Needless to say the river is a 4 and the fishy muppet gets his straight. I tried to badger him a bit and had a go but he didnt reply sadly.
And finally....I just played a dollar sitngo with 18 players and managed to scrape 3rd with a bit of bluffing and stealing. Won $4.20 I think.
Poker stars deposit NIL - current balance $16.15!
Not bad from the $5 they gave me.

Yesterday was the most dire day of alltime.
Every game I played I came upon <(((< and muppets. What can you do. You raise with QQ and a muppet calls with k7 suited and hits a straight on the river after throwing his/her chips in the pot.
I know fish and chips is a great British invention but when it comes to poker - its impossible to deal with. I doubt that any of the fish would be any good at a live game of poker and I'm sure they wouldnt throw their chips in on rubbish like K7 suited.
Suited cards add 2% to the value of a hand and based on that info - people throw their chips in "willy nilly".
Needless to say I think I only placed in a couple of games but overall the losses were bad.
Perhaps tonight will be a better story.

Just played a £2 double your money sit and go on sky.
I managed to come first even though the top 3 double their money. The incentive to win is the league points they give away. Gather enough and you can enter into a £500 freeroll at the end of the month.
So a good start as I haven't played since I came back from my long weekend away.

I;ve just played 2 x 10c games on poker stars. 360 entrants and the prizes aren't too bad if you can make it to the final table.
First game - I was doing really well - knocked 4 people out in one hand with pocket Aces. I was chip leader at this point which I hate so early in a game.
Getting near to the end, Im the dealer and the guy who is BB has 25k chips I have 18k at 11th position out of 36 people left. I had A2 suited diamonds. Thought I would try a small raise to 3 x BB and he would fold. He called and not only did he hit his 10 with his 10 Q off but he managed to make trips. So I got knocked out through carelessness and came 35th and just about got my money back.
In the other game I had pocket Aces and got beaten by someone with pocket 3s who hit a 3 on the flop (I was all in).
So thats the day so far. More games to be posted shortly and lets hope its a bit better than this!

Just played another 10c tourney - well one hand!
Had QQ was trying to just flat call a small raised bet but someone went all in. I called as did 2 others. It was QQ vs 10 10 vs A8 (the all in bet)
Flop comes K82 - turn K - river Ace. Bye bye me but I had the best hand to the river.

These 10c tourneys on poker stars are pretty good - you get to play against 360 players and if you can make it to the break, you will be in the money.
I've played a few in the last couple of days - placed 76th, 35th 31st and I'm in one now and currently placed at 17th out of 33.
UPDATE
I was BB and the blinds were $1500/$750. I was dealt KK and somebody raised me up to 8,000. I called and won the hand and knocked opponent out - opponent had 8K hearts so he had no chance. Few hands later I am dealt AA so I just went all in and somebody called with A6 and I won that one. Two great hands which both dominated the board. Yay me.
I managed to come 7th and won $1.30 which isnt bad for a 10c stake.
These tourneys are well worth a go for 10c.

I played on PKR last night in a freeroll (one of the free tickets they give you to enter a 500 point freeroll) and after a few hands I lost a shed load of chips to a fish who chased a straight to the river. I was left with 100 chips and there were 542 entrants. I probably would have been 400 and something had I gone out then. After picking the right hands to "all in", I managed to get myself back up to 3k. The blinds and ante were crippling me and I had a small pocket pair - 6s and decided it was time to chance my hand. Everybody had folded except the Small Blind (I was big blind) so I took a chance and raised him all in. He called straight away and my worst fears were realised. He flat called with pocket Qs - first time he had a good hand and didnt raise. Typical! Needless to say I lost and ended up finishing 46th. So even at an early stage if you lose most of your chips - just remember that a chip and a chair still has value if you play your cards right (and have a bit of luck). |

I'm gutted - played in a point freeroll on Sky and managed to get up to 25k - last 22 players (top 40 get paid).
Im dealt KK and somebody raises all in - an opponent calls so I raised all in and they call (they had 68k).
Hands are shown and my KK shows - two opponents have A7 and A4. Flop comes down 684. Turn is a 9 and river is a 10. Beaten by someone who was chip leader and got lucky.
How often do you see this at online casinos?
I see it all the time - you get beaten by the person who has chips left. Ah well such is life - I won a few cents for coming 21st.

Just played in a freeroll for a seat in a big tourney on Sunday and without realising it I came 6th. Shame there was only one prize. I took a chance that the big blind didn't have an ace and went all in after I hit K's Sadly he had the ace and I was knocked out. It was easy to get that far though - play was bad and if you want to have a go its at Vegas007 |

I just played in the Sunday satelite again and came 5th this time. Final hand- I had pocket 4s and opponent had 9J off. He hit his 9 on the flop and then another one on the river so that was the end of me. Here is a hilarious picture of one of my opponents "mrxstace" - I dont think so!  |

I just had a freeroll on Sky poker and whilst I didnt win any cash (72nd out of 437) I did manage to have one amazing hand in the tournament. Check out my "royale with cheese" just before I went all in (and got called). What a lovely hand.  |
