Hey guys this is Pleno1 and I have a lot of people messaging me on Skype about private coaching and worked out its going to be best for me to post in here what I can do to help improve your game


What am I playing?

I was previoulsy playing 200-2knl on Microgaming and have now switched to playing more volume of 200-500nl, next year I will attempt to go Supernova Elite.

I have posted dozens of graphs in blogs that Ive been very open about my resuts, I will post a new graph soon with updated winnings


Experience coaching?

In my opinion you can only be a good coach if youve been a bad one. I have coached over 50 people in the last 3 years. I started off as a bad coach and believe now that I have the perfect recipes ready to improve players at all stakes up to 500nl.

I am currently coaching numerous people in fast poker games including big winners at 500nl. I can of course give contact details of those guys who will be happy to vouch


Coaching programmes

I do numerous different services, all of which can be beneficial to everybody out there. Remember if you have a birthday coming up and your girlfriend is awful at buying you things then send her the thread! Likewise, maybe you have a friend who you want to spoil for whatever reason

I think my coachings are HIGHLY competitive. I spend a lot of time outside of coachings talking about poker and other stuff with the students and I believe that I take the coaching to the "next" level.


Long Term Buddies  :f_love:

What is it?

This will be a block of 5 coachings

Step 1 - I watch you play for 30-40 minutes

You can send me as many hand histories throughout the week, speak about anything you want and everything is involved in the price rather than add ons or extras.

First bit of help I need from you guys is a new nickname. Something com that is related to blonde pls. Winnnnarrrr gets a drink.

Good luck in your goals.

There is a question as to whether the player with the highest ROI at heads up games is the best player, or merely the best bum hunter.

Settled for.... Gareth Bale.

weeeeeeeeeeeee looks like Newcastle going to win. Ben Arfa too, shame that we got beat off Blackpool last week otherwise would of been an amazing start to the season. Got them in that handicap league too. weeeeee.

Need to buy a new laptop to do this grind on, anyone got a netbook? Play poker on them? What they like?

Oh and I'm doing the blonde updates on Oct 2/3 looking forward to speaking to a few I havn't met yet.

glgl, I've never used one but a netbook doesn't sound like a great idea. You're pretty much restricted to one tabling and holdem manager auto import takes up a fair amount of memory. Having that running and the poker client as well as a web browser might not run too smoothly? Actually my first reaction was that its really small, you could too easily throw it at something ;)

ha this is too true. im a freelance journo, so want something smallish to take round with me and thought that because i'm playing HU I'll not be playing anything above 4 tables so wont be too bad. Not sure if I'll use HM, may just save HH and convert on other laptop I have.

Gareth fkn Bale??

i like anagrams of peoples names so was thinking more 'ta prick' ;)

gl in ur quest little fella :)

hows this going? best of luck!

Its gunna be really tough to be the best at your stakes if you're playing $100s in a year. There are plenty of really good regs that just don't want to play higher because they don't want to deal with the swings etc.

gl though, updates?

played 100 games and won 76, just off money though not this roll. Still looking for a suitable website, really confident in the actual games and the 10's/20's are ridic soft on ipoker/stars/tilt

epic
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/19/high-stakes-pl-nl/wanted-live-female-assistant-poker-student-854393/

netbooks are toooooooo small! buying either a sony vaio tomoz or apple mac, will have it for DTD on Sat where I'm helping Tighty with the updates, come holla there everyone :)

ohhh and gareth bale is incred! was at southampton till i was 16 and he was a really top lad. don't talk to him as much anymore though.

i hate 2p2 threads they get so many responses that are stupid and each thread is like 20+ pages long. It takes forever to read

bsnssksdfghjukls,c just went and bought a white sony vaio, got home and it was silver! Sighhhhhhhhhh. White >>>>>> black >>>>>>>>>>>>> pink>silver.

FMEL, just called John Lewis complaining how could someone get something so easy mixed up?!?! The very polite lady informed me that she wasn't even aware that they did a silver version but was very very sorry and would ring me back ASAP. I didn't want to open the laptop in case they wouldn't take it back. Was semi annoyed at this point so just thought fuck it and opened it. White inside. Sigh, she called back quickly, very apologetic I asked if the white version was white on the outside she said no. I apologised for wasting her time. Anyway set it up in like 10 mins and it seems to be doing the job ok, i.e I can log on Blonde/Open my emails and have full tilt AND stars both running. Heaven.

Elsewhere... Andy Carroll's going to be in the England senior squad! Jesus, I really hope he doesn't get built up as a world class stirker too soon. He is good and although he's scored a hat-trick this season against one of the better teams he is by no means a goalscorer so hopefully the fans won't start booing him if he doesn't score 20 goals. You might think wtf, but Newcastle fans are very very unrealistic. I played with him from u8's to u12's and he was a very nice yet obviously "thick" lad. He has done some stupid things in the last 3 years but better doing it when he's 18 and learning I guess. Also big thumbs up to Joey Barton who has been absolutely outstanding this season, both with his performances and his conduct, off and on the pitch. England squad? Why not?

Why did u go to john lewis to buy a lap top? Surely online is better

In town, was a decent price, 2 year warranty etc.

having such a weird train journey.. Family of 4 seated next to me, sitting by himself is the peculiar father who looks a lot like albert einstein.. His very annoying yet very blonde son, almost nazi looking is slavering whilst trying to hug me and crying that I'm rejecting him? Marv. His very attractive (8/10) mum is openly breast feeding his baby sister.  You couldn't make this up.

Nowt wrong with breast feeding on a train. Baby needs fed when baby needs fed. Do you want her to do it in a train toilet? fk that

Why don't you ask Einstein if he wants to swap seats with you?

lol obv nothing wrong with ridiculous fit milf breast feeding just added to the strange journey. There was actually a spare seat next to einstein but kid decided he wanted to roam around and be a nuisance.

fyp

1)why do I always find myself sat next to a screaming baby on a train?

2)why is there armrests on trains with no "click"? Theres literally no point of them.

Back from Brighton, had a really good time. John Eames impressed me immensely, really really good player. Pab pretty much owned the final table so was fun watching that too.

Played 110 more HU sngs and won 73. Going to play 100 more of the $10 level and then if I keep up same roi then it will be safe to say that I can beat this level (although obv 1000+ games would be a better indicator, I'm not going to stay around playing these games when I'm super over rolled for them and super confident I can crush them)

I don't expect the $20's to be much different tbh, the regs seem pretty bad. Probably won't see a big improvement until the 50's, but would like to play around 300-500 games at the 20's just to make sure/get this roll up abit.

Although I said I wasn't going to, I have been playing a few other games, mainly HU 100plo, which is really fun, the regs on the boss network are abs tez and I'm up 11 bi's over 2k hands.

Shout out for SuuPrlim (def 100% got that wrong) but "lildaves" blog is the nuts and really enjoy reading that, blog moarrrrrr.

Out to interview Jack Elwood now for PokerPlayer, so look out for that in the next couple of months issues.

Run gooooood and win those flips everyone.

what do u consider a good roll for hu sngs?

Well I just put 1k a side for this as if I put like 5k on I would have to be playing pretty high. 30bi's is quite aggressive I think, but anything over 50 is too cautious IMO. Sticking between 30-50 and taking shots etc is fine IMO, but understand people who do 10-30 and people who do 50-70 as well.

Decided to have a night of fun today. Opened up DTD and played cash and entered an MTT on Tilt. Ended up winning 15bi's at cash and then came 4th in tilt $26 k/o for 3k + change. The hu sngs have really helped my tournament play weirdly and a few things Jack Ellwood spoke to me about yesterday especially stack sizes really helped.

It's amazing I can think I am good and then look back just yesterday and think I'm shit, I'm sure this will repeat for the next few years, or perhaps forever?

Still going to play the same HU sngs as it really doesn't make a difference to my roll etc as I just put abit of it aside to do this challenge.

Work in a few hours, sigh.

Poker does this to me as well, even though I think my level of play is pretty consistent. When your losing you feel like you are the worst player in the world and when you are binking you feel like the greatest. Obv you know in reality that neither is true unless you are Phil Ivey.

Basically poker is a complete mind fuck.

Grats on your bink.

I kinda disagree tbh. When I'm losing I think, OMG I'm running so bad, I'm playing good but just constantly getting outdrawn/running into the top of peoples ranges.

Then you take a break and realise you were playing shit once you've tweaked your game and playing differently/well.

I actually never think I'm playing bad when I'm losing unless I'm like in a $5 tournie and just playing every hand /  shoving gazillions of blinds.

Yeah I know what you mean. Every time you improve your game you think, lol how bad was I last week.

I thought I was pretty damn good in 2006. Boy was I wrong.

What do you look back at and think wow I was bad? Like what were your leaks? I know for me I played 20-30bb stacks atrociously.

but you were good in 2006 against the field surely?

Yeah I'm not saying that, just my game has improved so much since then, even though I did well at the time

I dunno what kinda leaks really pleno but stuff like opening 3x as standard throughout tournaments which is obviously bad, and my push/shove ranges won't have been good enough...

fmel

thats not a heads up sit and go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is true.

will do a weekend update in a sec.

Right so as most know, had a staking thread up this weekend. I played a bunch of smallish mtt's and managed a 3rd for 2.2k and a deepish run in a stars donko for a couple of hundred. Anyway stake was 188$ and returned like 2.4ish so was a nice nights work, obviously I mentioned earlier that I had another score for 3k earlier on in the week and have made over 1.2k playing cash on dtd and ipoker playing 25/50 spinning up abit of left over monies.

Feel bad as I said that I was only ever going to play HU sng's, but the extra money coming in is obviously nice, will still grind this 1k roll (more now) and hopefully get another couple of hundo games in pretty quickly and keep this roi up.

I'm playing DTD Grand Prix next week, so holla if you're going. Hopefully going to win that.

Got an interview tomorrow morning (8am sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) but for a job that is pretty much perfect for me, thanks to Dino on here for helping sort that out. Run good one more time pls.

Look out in next months or maybe Decembers issues of PokerPlayer for a few articles done by myself and hopefully they go down well.

Also gtfooo Rooney.

Bad month or so, played alot of MTT's for a friend and although played really good and had some good scores (like 4 4ths when 2 1sts would have put me massively in green :( ) ended up down about 40 buy ins or so, obv this is nothing for MTT variance and sure bink was round the corner, but unfortunately for me/him certain things happenned to him which meant he wasn't in a situation to back me anymore. He is actually a really nice guy and hope/know he'll sort it out. Also sweated a mate win the 11r for 13k, was heavily involved in all decisions on FT and basically played all of HU for him (not literally but spoke about why he should do every move in every situation, don't call the poker police ya'll) got 0% of that, but meh it's a friend I guess.

Back to the HU's. I took all my poker roll out and put it into different places as I'm an interest nit :P (i work in financial services so obv I am naturally like this) so will redeposit next month or something and grind out some profit before January. Where my goals will continue as planned and WILL be the biggest winner at 20-50$ hu sngs in the world, whilst tyring to play as many games as possible and if I can make supernova for some very nice $ rewards. I really feel like this is printing money playing these games, I talk to the biggest winner on stars at these games and although he thinks I have a couple of minor leaks he thinks I do/should/will crush these super confidently, so if anyone wants to back me for few hundo games of these then holla :)

Just sent the Jack Ellwood article to PokerPlayer, will be in December's issue so buy that yo!

Football wise, startin to get fitter again and playing really good, Jan-March is about getting to absolute peak fitness then want to try and play really high standard next year, we'll see though :)

Ghosting doesn't pay kids.

Good couple of weeks. Just starting to play HU cash for a new friend of mine. Not many people will know him on here but he crushes 200-1knl online and is super smart, he won't be reading this but he's given me a couple of coaching sessions and although he thinks I'm fundamentally sound enough to crush the games he is still helping me out. I am playing 50-200nl on Full Tilt, Victory, Ipoker and UB (haters gonna hate). I sit at 2 tables of every limit and have them set up perfectly across three monitors including PTR being open and HEM, obviously. I think having a really good set up helps so much as you just feel organised and like nothing is gonna stop you crushing.

I'm currently winning 50bb/100, which is ridic and although I know I can't keep this win rate up, I am bumhunting hard so no regs are allowed within a mile of me. Some people may be like pfttttt bumhunting, but I'm like yummmmmmm money.

I MOVE TO GIBRALTAR TOMORROW! wtffffff, new chapter of my life and I'm casually excited. I'm going to work for PokerStrategy.com in a position that I don't realllllly want branded about the forums, so I'll just say nothing about what I'm actually doing. They are a German company and are ridic big in like Russia, Scandinavia and ofc Germany. Really looking forward to working for them as they seem like a super ambitious company and they gave me v.v good vibes when I went over.

I really want to set myself some goals poker wise, but i really am just content at playing when I can and playing well. I've subscribed to 3 different training websites and I'm posting looooooots and looooots in PHA as well as having a couple of private coaching sessions a week. I think I have the fundamentals and I'm definitely giving it 100% atm, hopefully my hard work will pay off and I can have a HUGE 2011 both at work and on the virtual felt. Will probably post more in here as Greeky isn't happy with me posting silly hands in "hand of the day".

GLGLGLGLLGLGL everyone.

go on pleeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooo!

nice b/c on flop bro

very nitty flat on the rivers

Lol I know. Was confused/unhappy/happy that he saved me the rest.

gl with the move and the online grind. Sick winrate so far!

good job dude, keep going.

Check your pms!

Gl in Gibralter, sigh at poker strategy those fkers killed the sngs on party about 2/3 years ago. Ah yeah brilliant idea giving sign up bonuses at teaching basic strat at the same time.

Open invitation to anyone for the next 5 weeks..

My company apartment that I'm staying in is ridiculous. I have a sick double bedroom that looks over the sea, really modern fitted kitches, open plan living room with super widescreen TV and perfect poker table that leads out onto a balcony that has Africa on your left, Spain on your right and the sea infront of you. If you are looking for somewhere relaxed to stay and grind then you simply have to come here.

Anyone/everyone welcome.

p.s Lots and lots of fit Eastern European girls! :)

This makes very temping if not a) working b) off to Miamil 21st....enjoy the apartment and the Eastern European girls, not necessarily in that order :-)

Yeah, Africa and Spain either side and your actually in Britain?!?!

Gibraltar innit.

Its a brilliant view, what can he say lol...

Just had epic night.

Basically the company have 12 company flats that new staff members/vips stay in for X amount of time. I luckboxed the sickest one and today my Czech flatmate invited whole company for a party at our apartment. Fastforward to 6pm, 1 hour before we were due to start letting people in one of our line managers informed him it wasn't a wise decision so we had to cancel the party.

We instead met like 30 of the staff at the local casino and started drinking/gambling. I had quite a few degen sessions of slots and then I went to play poker......

First hand is a "spalsh pot" whoever wins gets £20 to bet in the casino, 9 limpers and I jam blind for £150 (150bbs) some Spanish fish snaps me off for £60 or so and my J4o beats his q9. I give the £20 to one of my colleagues, Melvin and he goes upstairs in pursuit of run good. I get the message that he put £5 on 4 numbers and one of them came in, he comes back with my money and I obv give him 50%++

The table is now full of my colleagues and as we all specialise in poker it was pretty fun. I build my stack up to £450 and then lose £150 when I get heroed off the guy to my right. We were 3/4/5betting eachother alot and it was pretty fun. Next hand he is UTG, he raises, I call and utg+2 raises, we both show our suited connectors and UTG+2 has aces. Fastforward 9 hands later and he raises to £14 UTG again, I 3bet to £34 from UTG+1 and it folds back to him, he tanks for a while and makes it £90 and I jam for £310, he snaps and I show 67hh, he obv has KK.  Flop is 67Ar and he starts going absolutely insane. It was a pretty fucking huge pot tbf, but anyway things got a littttttle heated.Not from my side anyway as I believed it was pretty standard at the time.

I mentioned Melvin before, he is the youngest person in the company ( I am the second ) we were propping/sharing blackjack bankrolls/drinking/shotting/propping on colours every hand etc etc. We hadn't 3bet eachother at all but we definitely felt it coming. He was on my direct left and we both had lots of money infront of us.

Last 3 hands please gentleman.. first two hands I win and then the third hand there is a raise in the c/o (playijng 5 handed) I call the button with a6ss and Melvin 3bets to £35 from the small blind. We all call and there is £155 in the pot and we are all pretty stacked.

The flop is a pretty lovely AQ6 and Melvin bets £70, folds to me and I jam it all and he sigh calls with AK. We had been betting alot all night, drinking together, being degenerate and he had made me money. I let him take what he had behind him back and I took the pot £300ish. I really felt like I just didnt deserve to win the pot, he can't fold and I have luckboxed two pair with sio much metagame in the last hand of the night, it wasn't how I wanted to win more money (I was already up over 5 bi's) Hopefully karma treats me well over next few weeks as I am playing reallllly well in little pots and its adding up to some nice figures :)

Genuinely not running good either, hope I can do this throughout the year, I really want to be very very good. I think I'm intelligent enough to understand and learn and I am definitely giving it my all with training videos/posting tonnes of hands in pha/working with my coach/talking to friends about different hands and concepts. I feel at the moment I'm playing very good and that I'm able to crush the bad regs from 50-200nl.

I really, really hope all the hard work pays off this time next year or it will be a HUGE waste of time.

won some more moniezzz..

I'm playing more and more hands waiting to get varienced. Please no sick downswing.

Also something that I'm pretty proud of is that my red and blue lines are like completely equal. Always struggled to keep my red line above 0. Shows that hard work and studying does actually help. Also company I work for has just purchased grindcore's "The Thin Red Line" from DC. I'm not going to say how much they purchased it for, but if you were guessing what would you say?

One months membership or less as surely you can just download and keep them?!

Yeh but you cant put it on your website to over 4m people, copyright bro.

no but I can login on my mates account and download it for free ldo

But if you are an affiliate and have 4million members and want to attract more you cant just pass it onto a few mates, need to have it on your forum and licensed.

Just take this post to say sorry for being a ***** for 48 hours. I'm nice really.

Soo upset you had to post it twice?

something like that ya

yeah, we've all been there mate

FYP.

RIP Pleno

You had a good run kid

What was he banned for?

No idea.

I heard he was fighting with a women cos she was oggling at him wearing JUSt pants

Did he say one or two things about his Newcastle selections in the best prem team thread? only a guess i didn't see it.

does pleno and the mouth have history?

very small pants.

Ah now...that's not true.  Yer miles taller.

Oh was it me wearing the pants?  Oh in that case, bushwhackers for sure.

Just a lot of sexual tension between them imo

oh haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii der

gtfo thought you were banned?

it was nice and quiet without you ;grr;

You been somewhere?

I was told the nice young gentleman from Newcastle was allowed to return whilst his arrogant, cocky alterego from Gibraltar could gfh.

both twats is it

Pretty much this

How's the poker?

Do you ever update pms?

Back from teh skiing now and yes Mr Greekstein, I have a one hour slot this evening in the diary for PM's.

Good start to the month, not so much poker wise, life is just pretty good atm.

Moved into a new apartment (one floor up from where I am) got a really good bedroom, really big with own balcony and sea views over Spain/Africa, ensuite bedroom etc etc, on other side of apartment got a perfect view over the bay and Gib.

Went skiing this weekend for 4 days in Sierra Nevada which was really good, I was awful at skiing, I booked 7 hours of coaching and told the Spanish instructor to F*** Off after 15 minutes luls. Lots of drinks etc and won 36 buy ins in the home game there so freerolled :)

Played a decent amount online, played one MTT session for Cos which I played sick good for the first 3 hours was in 8/8 comps or something and then in 30 minutes everything fell to pieces, AK/AQ etc etc, sigh. Also bubbled the 50rush where a deep run would have ended the makeup I'm in, will clear that pretty soon I think and a biggy is coming. Owe him a PM too, been busy but need to sort that out.

HU cash is still going really well, winning at 27bb/100 over 40k hands now which is obviously very pleasing. I have eliminated all the 50nl games and now starting to take shots at 200/400nl at the right games when I speak to my backer. Coaching sessions are free and the main reason I took this staking deal, they really are very very beneficial. This Thursday I'm playing against one of my coaches whilst I do a teamviewer session with the other one. The first coach is going to change his game to how different regs play and see how I adjust and adapt, looking forward to it and hopefully find a leak.

Cambridge Alex is coming to Gib next week. Got a few things planned, Marbella in the day, few grind sessions for him at Casino, some nice meals out etc, having a big night out on the Saturday. Get picked up in a Limo in Gib, free champagne and taking to Spain to this club in Estipona. SUPERDUPERVIP service inside with own own staircase leading to middle of dancerfloor, free bottles of Vodka/Rum in the club, free entry obv and then taken back to Gib with more alcohol and hopefully some Spanish chickas. (Hope Hannah isnt reading this)

Also going out on Friday night with perhaps the nicest girl in Gibraltar, so looking forward to that.

Finally sorry to Tightend/mods for being abit of a ***** for the last few weeks. It's kind of in my nature but will try hard to let it go.

x

Oh also, I never usually play regs, my PTR is very very wrong, sais I have played 12k hands lifetime so often regs will sit me and because I have 18 tables open I can easily turn down their action. Yesterday I played against an 80+ (ptr rating) on tilt and really really owned him winning 4/5 buyins off him and not particuarly running that well. I think by the end of 2011 if I can be playing the bad regs at 200/400nl and be playing the huge fish at 600nl then I'll be really happy. As the difference between the fish at 100nl and 600nl will not be too different.

Won 39 buy ins this weekend/start of week at HU. Must be on of the biggest winners per hand played. Got my setup now. Computer desk that I got from my friend, 24" tv, 19" monitor for ptr etc, new house, leather chair, recliner and leather stool Ready to crush the worlllllllld.

I am now coaching 2 people and its going really, really well. I'm playing a bigger and bigger part in the stable I'm involved in too.

I have crushed all the regs at 50-200NLHU over the last 6 weeks and felt really good.I then played my coach (5knlhu player) and he absolutely owned me. I felt really dejected after the session like I will never be that good as his bet sizings/timings was just perfect and I couldnt re-re-re-adjust.

Enjoying having Alex over. Nice guy.

Taking shots with a friend = we dont care about teh moniezzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Shippppppp

Was playing in a cash game on Saturday night in Gibraltar. I was up X amount after a few hours and one Spanish guy in particular was donating. I don't really think he knows what he was doing and was pretty terrible.

He limps the C/O and I iso raise with  Ad Td on the button, he calls.

Flop is  Ac 4c 2h

He check calls

Turn is  8c

He check calls

River is  Tc

He checks and I check behind quickly turning over my two pair.

He tosses his cards into the muck and kind of flings them, I see he has the   5c and go to tell him that he had a flush almost trying to get his cards before they hit the others.

One guy got very very angry at me and told me that it was his responsibility to know his hand.

Thoughts?

Played Friday/Saturday in the casino and won 24 buy ins :)

11 on Friday 13.5 on Saturday. I think I'm, the biggest winner in the casino by a substantial amount. I think I'm up somewhere over 6k, which isn't bad for like 15 sessions at 100nl.

People saying I'm running good etc, but genuinely think that I have a perfect style for the cash games I'm playing in. I;ve seen good players come in and try and 3/4bet and get into levelling wars and I can safely say I have done this less than 5 times in the 15 sessions. It is all about perfect bet sizing and hand reading and always being concentrated imo. Havn't played much online this month as had super busy month at work/Alex visiting/moving house etc and I think I was up like 20bi's online for Feb. Won about 7bi's this weekend too in like 3k hands but I count that as March total.

Goal of December 2011 is still to be the best in the business. Here's hoping :)

Parents are here atm but havn't actually been to see them yet as been at work. Looking forward to seeing them I'm a only child and never really been away from them for a long time, even when I was away at Uni I would see them reguarly. I speak to them every day on the phone out here and although people think its expensive its only really 0.75p and usually talk when I'm walking back to the casino.

My parents used to hate me playing poker especially considering the fact that I gg'd two credit cards by the time I was in my first semester at uni.

I was going back after Christmas one day and my parents stopped at Sainsburys and were like get a printed balance or something, at the time I was obv super busto and tried to pretend there was no receipts in the cashier, my Mum can read me like a book and snap took the cards and saw I was gg. She was like gbrvhj duybhv f obviously and probably thought I was going to gg the house/car in some underground poker game and didn't want me to go back to Uni. I obv talked her around and we eventually headed for Sheffield.

Was he in the pot? Does he stake you?

If the answer to either of these questions is yes, then fine, if not tell him to stfu.

I had a job in Sheffield doing promotions and gradually began to work my ladder up there where I was making a sick amount in commision. I quickly paiiiiid the debt off and started playing live pokersss, I probably had a 3/4 bi bankroll but played pretty good an obv ran quite well. I got some moniez together but I was still a loser online, I';d deposit 50$ here 100$ there and it would just disappear, usually playing 45mans or something. I continued to play/talk with friends and I think I was actually realllllly good compared to the online results etc I had.

A friend staked me for some 6max cash and after 100k hands or so I was a pretty good online player :) I wasn;t making tonnes, but I was improving all the time and insta surrounded myself with like minded people who were playing ona  similar level and trying to improve. I played a few tournements on different accounts and won somewhere around 20k in X amount of tournaments with a few close ships. 65th in mini ftops m/e aava10 on j72 for chip lead, I can still remember little things like that, its quite weird really.

At this time I was still playing live cash and making a really nice amount, I never worked out my bb/100 or my hourly rate but it was def very high and whatever game I was playing in I was one of the bigger regs as I started to get myself a little bit of a bankroll together.


I then began playing HU sngs where I really started to find what I believed to be the nut game for me. I was winning at a very good rate over a decentish sample size and then I started talking to Greeky online. He asked me about joining his up and coming stable and I thought why not. It gave me the chnace to play tournaments that I couldn't handle the variance with on my own dime. I played like 150 games maybe for him and it all ended in bricks/bubbles/small cashes where I genuinely ran terrible. Greeky gg'd his roll at DTD and I was really gutted that it was ocming to an end as anybody who knows him knows that he is a top, top guy.

I had put all my bankroll into other things now so now was "poker bust" I was approached by a friend to start playing HU cash for him and although I was hesitant at first as I had only played HU SNG's I eventually agreed as I wanted to spin some money up.

I started to get coaching off said friend and his friend who also now has 25% of all my action (I keep 50% and 100% of my live action) and they were really good coaches, they ironed out all my weaknesses/leaks and gave me confidence by telling me how good my strengths were. Fast forward a few months and I am winning at 28bb/100 at a decent sample size and about to move up to 200/400nl.

They have added to their "stable" (I was the first one) and I give the new guys alot of help doing sweat sessions, answering hand history queries etc and the two stakers/coaches have expressed a desire for me to join them in managing/fnding/coaching the stable as I move up the stakes and they add. I am also coaching 2 micro/small stakes players as I believe my  analyitcal approach to poker can really help some guys out who play 10-100nl. I see so many people doing basic, fundamental mistakes and I enjoy helping people as I know not too long ago at all I was in their position.

Greeky now has money, and the makeup I was in/which was wiped (or so I believed) is now there. I want to clear it, he knows this and I know he wants me too. Obv. Its actually a pretty similar situation to his deal with The Poker Farm where all sides would just like it cleared. I guess if I did clear it it would give me a chance of binking a few $$$$ too. I hope we can come to some arrangement :)

If he just threw the cards into the muck you have no responsibility to announce his hand.

If he tabled his hand, you should tell him he's won.

Cheers mate but it's up to you. I don't mind forgetting it now. Happy to stake you in the Gib live cash games though :)

The guy was an old Spanish guy wearing rags as clothes and didn't even know what hand he had. I guess he thought he had a straight draw on flop and didnt check to see if he had a club. I don't particuarly want to win like that against guys like this. I was talking to Alex over dinner one night and playing fish and playing drunk people who donate money and also against people who cant afford to lose the money and I think since the conversation I subconciously care far more than I should do.

I think what you did is fine mate, as long as you wouldn't do it when it was him in a pot vs someone else (which i know you obv wouldn't). If you chose to keep quiet, thats fine too, after all his hand did hit the muck.

fine/gentlemanly. wp.

even better if u didn't see it correctly and its the  5s

You surreeeeeeeee do

zzzzzzzzzzzz, at least 5 per day + sessions with the Melvinatorrrrr and JLH. You just suck.

Good diary imo.

Just got a new cleaner. Meets me at my office and I walk back with her to my apartment, she doesn't speak one word of English so when we get there its so hard. I snap open my laptop and tell her "momento" I start typing into google translate and she replys. Ezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz game.

for some reason when i was reading thru this i reaallllly thought u were gunna end up getting it on

Lolol +1 harvey

This.

Just walked int Spain takes abotu 6 minutes and went for a Tapas with my flatmate Luis (legend) first time I've ever had Tapas and really enjoyed it. Weather was nice, like 14 degrees at night so really nice to just walk the streets, feels like being on holiday still.

Watched like the first match I have since I got to Gib. I used to have a season ticket for Newcastle (14 years) and went to most aways too, even when I was at Uni. I now don't even watch huge games which really is a shame. Enjoyed sitting and watchign the match over a few beers, David Luiz and Drogba were incred.

did u have a think about my suggestion?

Yes and unforunately will have to politely decline, at least for this month anyways as I intend to be playing v.drunk when playing live which kind of leads me onto my next point.

Last month only played like 8k hands online which really isnt acceptable as really do want to learn/improve/move up/win moniez.

Will look to put lot of time in this month on the virtual felt, so will probably post some epic hands/figures etc at end of month.

Sigh.

Ok well I don't wanna carry the makeup figure on in online games.

If you wanna play it off with me taking pieces of your low variance live action then I'm keen, if not just write it off mate.

Played an hours session vs Richard Finney (Friend of LilD) last night and thought it went super well. I think my bet sizes have always been my strongest point but I'm now adjusting alot better. Getting the aggresive stance in the game and having the initive really helps and I really 2 months ago I wasn't really forcing the issue and was just waiting to own people woth my good bet sizing when I had good hands.

I'm going for dinner this evening with one of the guys in the stable then we're going to a Jazz night with a bunch of America/Argentinian/French guys/girls. Should be good.

MY parents are now on the Costa Del Sol, we went for lunch yesterday and hopefully see them all weekend.

Started playing 200nl today..

[ ] Fun weekend of grinding.

Played like 3k hands of HU on Friday night, was stuck $700, but was +1.1k so pretty sick 1.8 minus eyvee.

Get my grind on on Saturday morning instead of going to a carnival in Cadiz. I get out the hole and quickly get 1.6k in the green for the week, still 1.5k under EV which is pretty sick, fast forward 4 hours and I'm breakeven for the weekend. Sigh.

Play all the donkaments yesterday and sold 30% of myself, I played pretty good. I usually spew in MTT's, but I nitted it up early and waited for spots. I oprd every opponent and played against all the greens (fish) got chips then got ridic coolered in nearly every tournie and ran AKhh into AKsc and gg in the 109.

Railed my coach to a 2nd in the DNG on Saturday which was fun though.

I've agreed to myself not to play one more tournament in 2011, if anyone see's me regged for a tounie they can snap ask me for $10 and I'll insta send. I really, really want to be the bussssinesssss at HU cash and wasting time playign tournies is just stupid where I could be spending that time watching videos etc.

I now have subscriptions to bluefire, cardrunners, leggo and decues cracked and I'm going to spend time watching these videos when I would normally be procastinating.

So a break even weekend, but lessons learned so going to take it as a +.

Going to tapas tomorrow with work friends then watching Barce/Arsenal, should be a sick game. Will probably grind 1/2 hours tonight.

Goign to a carnival in Spain next weekend which should eb good. Thing is everybody dresses up and if you dont they look down on you as some Brit who doesn't respect their culture while they openly accept and greet alll the sluts wearing Ann Summers policewomen outfits, whilst I of course encourage the wearing of such outfits I think its ridic that they think it is them "respecting" their culture. I hate fancy dress, never have liked itr and would much prefer to just zone in a shirt/jeans.

Lol

No wonder you were in the Greek stable!

Did you tell him this when you started?

FML

Obv when I say spew I don't mean I spew lol. Just mean I never seem to close, but I get stacks alot of the time. Like spin up to 25k, then just constantly losing flips and getting gg'd. I would post my tournament chip ev but everyone would be like that means nothing etc etc, but it is ridicccccccccccccc.

Like I've had 4 shots in the past of a big 6 figure sum and been totallllllllly fucked over and you can moan all you want on forums but everyone will be just like meh, variance, wte. Which is whyits so hard to do it on your own dime and having a limited bankroll. Although with Greeky I didn't get any coaching  (he would obv look at any hands that I want) he totally understood MTT variance and knew that things would eventually come together and a big bink was around the corner. I still think ti would be if I was still playing MTT's.

Also I think on the subject of spewing, "splashing" around in the early stages of MTT's is fine if you think you have a considerable post flop edge.

Had second game vs a blonde member this week.

Just for anyone who doesn't know, I posted a thread last week asking to play blondes HU for an hour or so and I talk to one of my coaches over th spots etc, its crucial to have a game going for an hour when I'm getting a coaching session other lot of valuable time lost.

First game I played Richard Finney, LilDaves mate and I think I won 3/4 buy ins or something and was quite a decent game. Yesterday I played Karl "Discomonkey" Fenton and we had a sick match for under an hour and lots of really fun dynamics were made. Won like 4.5bis but I def ran v.well.

Will post more ITT about the future matches I'll be having as it's always fun.

Will you post when you lose as well?

The best in the business

I think it's essential you capitalise each word as this conveys much of the essence of the phrase.

He is The Best In The Business.

Lose? Wtf is that? Would Charlie lose?

No, he'd crush everyone who comes near him because he's the best in the business and thats how we fucking role.

It was after he stood up.

Todd is generally a mug so feel free to flame.

Generally speaking, do you think chat abuse makes fish leave or actually tilt induces them to play on badly?

Might make them do either but next time when their head is straight you are less likely to get action.

FYP

It's obviously bad. The guy had been a super spew-monkey and of course I want action in the future. There are 5-6 of us who rail each others games allllll the time whilst playing ourselves. We never comment in chatbox really and Todd was just lolllling after the gent left.

Def think its bad to berate usually though.

Sorry for the hand historys guys. I guess I posted them because of the flaming I got on t'other thread about running good. March really has been v.shit for me. Overall I'm up 2.5k but could have been a sick (6k+) month.

I feel really settled at 200nl now, whenever you move up a limit the first 2k hands or so is a breaking in period kinda thing.

I've played alotttttttttttttt this weekend. I've gone from being like 10 buy ins up to being 4 up, which is abit gutting as I had really grinded hard.

Again apologies for posting all the hands, sometimes better to just get it off your chest and I guess my tilt is better here than spewing on the tables.

Guy left without saying GG, so I guess we won't see him again.

It's 6.50am now. Sigh. Watched TTIHAY tonight.(5 points for anyone who knows what film I'm on about)

The best in the business, over and out.


edit: wow. 2300$ worth of coolers ^^ didnt realise it was that brutal. Nevermind still profit for weekend grind.

Talking to a mate in Gib about doing no Steaks for a month. He's offering me 2/1, max bet $349.50. hmmmmm

Also signing up to gym tomorrow in Gib.

$3700 worth of pots. That guy is absolute sickness!

All grinding thrown away for nothing, sighhhhh

Ul.

When running bad / losing etc what's your daily stop loss?

6bi's but if its vs a guy who is making it 30-50x pre and jamming 200bbs all the time and I feel like I'm playing good I;ll carry on.

This weekend was the worst I have ever ran in poker. Feels pretty sick, if I was running at ev, for the year I would be winning at 37bb/100 over like 70k which is just really huge. Unfortunately I've met Mr Variance and I am "actually" winning at around 16. Hurts alot when you know you're playing really good.

Taking the rest of the week off and then coaches come to GIbbbbbbbbbbb next week. Will relax with them and I guess try and get out the smallish makeup that I'm in, feels sick that I was 20bis up around 4 days ago! March has been really shitty for alot of my mates and wish it would just gooooo.

April ftw.

http://www.estrellaspokertour.com/en/tournaments/malaga/

$1k main event, lots of good side events, suppppperrrrr soft field mainly Spanish stars sataliters. Everyone welcome to come, lets do a winnnnnnnnn?

so very tempted - might see if i can bink a satty - is there a guarantee?

Not sure yet. The 1700 package is the ME, 425 for hotel and 225 spending.

Nobody really reads my diary and this got lost in Greekys. Abs gold post and makes so much sense imo. It's posted by Dubai btw..

Thought id better post because it sounds like I lead the life of riley!

Whilst people have have a certain impression of me, my life is full of wastefulness and obvious regrets. Im a huge underachiever in poker, obviously live and particularly in the days when poker was easy. Getting drunk before tournaments and treating the whole thing as a joke was ridiculously immature and naieve when those were the days to get set for life.

I been broke more times than anyone i know, and every time it gets harder to get back on your feet, these days people aint as willign to take shots with the variance and outlay massive and when you look round at people who you and probably they consider themselves as inferior poker players, who have houses, cars and money for life- then obviously you are going to have regrets at being wasteful.

As for being "balla"- theres types of things that i regret wasting money on- strippers in UK is an obvious one- charging extortionant fees and most of them are just midgrade munters, the clubs act like they are your best friend whilst selling you overpriced champagne. And the funny thing is poker players are smart, far far smarter than strippers and waiters and we can see they cant even SELL their product well. There is no subtly, and they arent even good at what they do. They dont deserve your money. A huge life waste and massive -ev

Nightclub spending- I spent £20k in a club when i had a £21k roll, and was on tilt all night because people just kept stealing bottle after bottle of Cristal when there was a famous rapper giving it away for free next to us! In terms of a nightout I didnt even enjoy it that much, biggest waste ever for sure. And id say spending money in a club is fine as a once ina  while thing for a celebration as long as thre are a few bill splitters and everyone has the same rough idea ofwhat they want to spend- dont want to be arguing with friends after as life too short for all that. As a regular thing like I used to do, then its a total waste.

CCR for food bills- Had a £2200 roll, lost CCR at Ramsays for £2k. Best meal ever, no regrets. Dont think this is a leak at all, obviously you can get the occasional one where you are massively under ev and lose- i lost $1k bill in Fix where i protested about going, then lost CCR ater eating a $12 starter as a main and drank water- but generally i never regret paying a lot of money for food and drink at meals- id happily spend my whole roll at most points for an amazing meal. FWIW Nobu is dross and massively overrated, proper tourist food- Umu makes it look like Yo Sushi

Holidays- another thing i wouldnt consider a waste- memories are there for a lifetime- i spent £35k on 10 days in Mauritius which was prob half roll, and best 10 days of life- would never regret spending money travellig, seeing the world etc- obviously upgrading on flights is a debatable expense, but personally if its long distance then its well worth it- if it means u aint jetlagged and can enjoy where you are going instantly, then money is irrelevant if u have it, or the person you are travelling with has it haha

Casino gambling-is nowhere near as bad as people make out on here- its only a tiny bit under ev, and as long as u bet big and quickly then u wont be losing much money longterm and will have some fun. Just dont bet small amounts for a long period of time

My advice- quit job, go travelling- But have a backup out, ie maybe get a 4month sabbatical if they allow it? can always sack it off when get back if u choose

lol
i read your diary :)

Booked day off work and the weekend to go to Malaga to play the Estrellllllllllarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Should be great fun, let me know if you're coming out guy :)

Heard from gawa that there was like 15+ people coming out and I forwarded the link onto liiiiiiiiiildave and cambridgealex, if they come out they will obv crush teh cash. Should be good :)

Not playing poker this week concentrating getting into a good schedule as I have some huge tasks at work in the next 4/5 days and being tired at work will hinder me doing them to the best of my ability.

Just referred a friend for a job here at PS, if he gets it I ship a $6k referal bonus + another Brit here in Gib.

Played football tonight. It really is a shame I gave up :(

I really enjoy it and despite my size I'm pretty decent. If I am in Gibraltar in 5 years I will be playing for the national team. They beat Faroe Islands 3-0 this weekend which is pretty sick!

Losing your keys even though you know they are somewhere in your bedroom must be the second most tilting thing in the world.

People asking you where you last saw/had them is without doubt #1

and then people say, "now just think and start looking properly" ORLY - good point, i've been stumbling around my flat doing a sodoku with a bag on my head for 40mins maybe that IS THE reason why I couldn't find them

Just got in from a friends house and there is a huge game of world of warcraft going on. Never played/watched it before they have like gazillions of cards, looks pretty fun.

The best in the business

Played a bunch of rush this weekend, won 10+bis or so off not many hands and not even running that great. I watched the rush content on leggo/cardrunners and it is soooooooooooooo LOLBAD. I've been asked off a site to produce some rush videos after they seen my girrafes/spoke to 2 of the guys I have been "coaching" at rush.

Going to do it in next couple of weeks and will send it to anyone interested,

leggos rush vids were so "lolbad" to use your term - that I didnt subscribe

id be happy to look at your stuff

who is  "oldjude" he is abs terrible lol, kingdan23 was pretty lolbad too.

hmmm calling oldjude terrible seems silly.

really? maybe he was drunk in the video, or levelling i dunno. Who is he?

Just ptr'd him and obv a sicko.

I might have to just change my sig to

I LOVE ICKLE DAYYYVEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Still post on blonde though, tis cool. This can be locked now, [ ] best in business...

also what monitors do u have and what graphics card do you have?
imo keep blog on here

I know too much about him. But when everything surfaces its going to be prettttttttttttttty fun.

2 samsung 2443 24" and one 19" dell, almost exclusively for PokerStrategy Blonde.

Lol @ knowing too much about him. There's a massive thread on 2+2 started by jose 'girah' macedo.

P.s. The best in the business.

Thats enough.

Too much is more.

More is

edit: Not allowed to post links to other bloggage in here. It is prettier with more pictures though.

i think Jason Herbert should take this one over now that you're gonna make it redundant as he is a clear successor as best in the business.

I just watched the poker static of him cba to read lots of pages on 2+2

are you flaming me everywhere?

NO IM LOVING YOU EVERYWHERE. XXXX

i'm feeling the love cos.....my bums hurting

If you're hurting, you must be feeling the love from someone else :)

thoughts?

suuupperrr nice guy.

erm seems pretty good
redic organised for his 3k an hour coaching sessions

didnt think it was real at the start but havent heard much from him tbh

Considered posting all over PHA today, with random lines and wrong concepts to make you think I'm doing things that I'm not but I realised you're THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS and will snap adapt anyway so it's not worth the hassle

Sign up to the other place and post on my blog, they will love you.

Looking forward to tonight, should be fun.

Yeh hopefully the deck sends cooler after cooler my way and then I can brag about how I pwned the best in the business.

what site is this happening on?

wanna see Cos get pwned at Holdem then read his thoughts on his diary

If Pleno beats me up too bad please can we play HU after so I can get out of it without much sweat? ty

Enjoy your evening spectacting a 4tabling 50NL match on FTP. ffs

i will 1 table you HU for 1 bi - skill game obv

dont forget what happened last time we played HU

lol in a comp.

You won $4k the other night, let's multitable $1/2 at least. If you play as good as you talk, I'll get spanked.

Play HU as good as I talk? You are making strange inference to my luckbox admittance above!

I did win 4k you are correct, and one of my great strengths is the insta cash out (ESP after getting hacked).

I have 500 on line and will gladly wager 20% of that in a luck box game of HU @ 50/1 against you after your game with negranu tonight!

Of course if I manage to fluke an early double thru I'll gladly open another table with your money

no

running scared of my run good eh?

 :P

lol gtfo

+1.

What a terrible example he is to young kids and newcomers. Risking 20% of his roll. pfft

Hey cos, did anyone find out who gutshot was on that mumsnet site was were the blondes went trolling the other week

Not that I know of mate, pretty sure noone cares now either!

Are u not gonna include any plo in ur hu match?

kinda not the point of it. it's not a grudge match or anything.

Nah. Greeky at NL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Me at PLO, I'd get abs destroyed. I'd do 1 table of PLO if we played 5 tables of Holdem, but that would just get abit insane with alot of timeouts etc

what are the rules? 4 tables no reloads?

greeky pwning after 30 mins - caught some nice cards thou

up in 4

pads adjusting well

up in 3

2-2 at the break

He finished up in $ I finished up in EV.

I lost AKVAQ, and pair vs huge draw on turn.

However......

Greeky doesn't play HUNL, he played good and is obviously a very good hand reader.  He genuinely owned me in a couple spots and I would love to play again.

We chatted on the phone and we both spoke about how eachother played. Was enjoyable.

Wp mate, I'm off to see Mr Slansky x

Cos "BITB" Greekstein

he is a pro for a reason

Wouldn't mind seeing Pleno vs JP (Whollyflush)

Not really worth the sacrifice in hourly.

lol

Just for fun

What is this fun you speak of?

We actually played each other very briefly couple of months back.

You've changed JP. And I don't like it.

:(

Bring back the old JP.

Yeh I played JP for 10 hands or so, donated a stack in the middle of the hand whilst I realised it was him.

Playing for a couple of hours is obviously just fun and something for the forum. I mean you think me/Cos doing it for the money? Would obv like to play vs you, 4 tables for 1/2 hours would be quite fun.

Bump

live pro ftw.

In all seriousness I am in abit of a weird spot with poker.

In live cash I've made 146 bi's in around 30 sessions. I have this style where I play live which seems so different to the other winning players, but it seems to work very well to me.

Online, on a huge downswing at HU, but the games I've played at 6m have been really good and winning decent rate.

I feel liek I can crush 100nl 6max online ridic hard and be a good winner at 200nl if I play less tables and concentrate but I think if I ever want to play full time or take it super seriously then I need to sacrifice a little to learn more. I htink I've learned as much as I can off forums/videos which I have literally dedicated hours every day for the last 3 years. I think to be able to beat the mid stakes I need to invest in coaching/play backed with coaching deal for X amount of hands. I sent an email to a couple of blondes that I think would have the biggest impact on me and that I think are pretty similar to me so we'll see what happens there.

Been playing some tournaments recently too.

Some notable scores were

18th in $320 6max ftops for $5k+ bountys (sigh :( )
1st in some donkament on tilt for a couple k.
1st in $50 turbo on ipoker
3 finals on stars

Nice to be playing well in tournaments I have also booked coaching from Aaron Lambert to help me with my MTT game and he will be trying to tweak my 15-25bb play which I think may have 1 or 2 leaks.

IRL, I have a girlfriend now.

She's abit older than me (27) but really attractive and intelligent. She has lived all over world (New York, Paris, Brusells (sp)) and is just generally a really nice intelligent girl (woman?).

She also has the most incred dog and its genuinely fun to be around both of them.

I've always been "seeing" people while I was at uni, playing football etc settling down is a little bit weird but I guess I like it.

She also understand poker which is obviously a big +. She helps me when I'm running bad and is my biggest fan when I'm running good.

Won't post pics as she probably wouldn't like that so.

• in before pics or she isnt real

As you may have seen -http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=53688.0 I've taken on my own stable.

I have around 8 guys who will be grinding the micros for me which the opportunity of aggresively moving up the stakes. Most of the guys are grinding 25nl and I can offer them both staking AND sufficient coaching to crush the game.

Matt674 has a sick sharkscope record and I have started him playing 2/3 table SNG's on stars, he has started to crush and will hopefully win battle of the planets. Good luck to him and other Blondes such as DUNK619 who I believe will do very well.

Others who have joined me on this hopefully fun and profitable adventure are people from home who I both trust as people and playersa. Hopeflly by January where alot will change in my lfie I will be in a situation where this possibly -ev investment (for my time I mean not the players) will have turned out to be +ev. I'm not banking on anything though and jsut giving some players a chance to get themselves back on their feet is rewarding enough for me to not regret doing it.

Last of these mini blogs will go out to Tighty and the other mods.

I know that I'm probably not liked by you. BUt I think I am a little bit misunderstood from you. I genuinely try my best to contribute positively on Blonde and I really didn't do anything bad via PM's

I apologise for my little rant I did and promise to behave in the future.

Big love to Tighty for doing all the work on the WSOP, really is the first place that I come to for quick updates. WP.

www.thepokerfarm.co.uk  is an absolutely sick site btw. It hasn't seemed to take off yet, but the content from news articles to Rury Mason x rated videos to Jesse May's ridicuously good blog is absolutely sick and they have been rewarded from some sick scores from sickos like Jake Cody, Matt Perrins and hopefully tomorrow Alex Martin.

KUTGW guys.

Agreed.

I get the feeling that before long everyone will be visiting that site. They have so many sick pro's who are absolutely crushing the live scene who represent them that it's only a matter of time.

Been thinking about getting staked for a while now and going to give it a shot there. Just got a feeling that's going to be a huge site to try and associate yourself with.

What's your regular game pleno?

I think your right about being misunderstood. It's so easy to come across not the way you meant to on these forums (i can speak first hand experience of this) and it can take a little while to change peoples opinions of you. But your diary was/is fun to read and having your stable adds another dimension to it.  Good luck with the horses!

I havnt thought like this for 2/3 months :):):):)

we're all going on a european tour, a european tour a european tour....


oioiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Played perhaps the best hand I've ever played on Friday. Not in terms of size of pot, but jsut knowing exactly where I was.

This hand led upto the good hand.

I had been straddling to £4 utg every hand, but this time I looked and raised to £4 with A3hh, some guy 3bet to £10 and got 1 caller, I 4bet to £38 and they both call. Flop is  3s 3d 7s, my boss who is very good, wealthy, intelligent etc leads for £52, I make it £114 with a really bad image, and it folds back to him and he tank jams kxss and I hold.

Two orbits later, I raise to £4 UTG, same guy 3bets to £10 w/ £78 stack, some callers including boss again. I obv flick in the £6. Flop is 44A. Boss tanks for 60 seconds and checks, I check, and the guy goes all in for £68 into a pot of £52. Boss takes around 25 seconds to call and I snap make it £128, boss folds AJ and the first guy had K10, I thought he had KQ, but still pretty nice read and I held :)

I'm super degen. Like I would bet on anything I can, wsop prop bets, two flys on a wall, pidge and toss, anything. But I never go stupid and bet ridic huge. On Sat I shamefully did in £2k on blackjack which was first big betting spew I've had in a while.

Last hand I have a/7 and q2 against a 9.

£350 on each box, I go to double the a/7 for some reason and dealer who is kinda my friend asks me if I'm sure, I sigh and say no and take a card on 12, comes a 3 obv. I stand and dealer binks a 9 and holds both boxes, I would hjave won £1150 but instead did in £700 on that spin.


NVM was fun thhough and wont happen again in near future as got lots of horses to feed.

What did u have 2nd hand? Isn't hand one spewy rather than good?

2nd hand I have 66.

1st hand I thought it was a really good spot because boss was light (he had like k6s) and the first guy had been making it alot bigger with big hands so when he 2.5x's my opening raise he is never super strong. And also I look really strong too and suited ace in position against boss hu most of the time if I don't win the pot pre.

Is that +EV long term? Looks like a career limiting move to me  ;)

dont understand why you would do a double with a/7 when the dealer has a 9

after playing roulette for the last 5 years of my life i find it very hard to play bj

roulette is sooooo fun

ROULETTE FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm completely confused as to why you'd wanna double too.

i sometimes think im going to read the deck and get cards lol. I know its pretty com but just funny, I think I meant to take a card and then decided to double for some reason then after Maria said are you suuuuure, I said nah thanks card on 12. uh oh. Please no paint :( ahhhh fml.

S'all good though.

Roullete ftw obv.

also shouldnt you hit your a7 vs the dealers 9?

I am no expert but thats what i would assume that you should do

can some one please tell me whats the right play please.

kinda annoying me

Yeah, hit not double on soft 17.

And hit the 15 v the dealer 9.

This. Standard basic strategy.

He has soft 18 not 17 so should stand against a 9 (I believe)

Soft 18 is a hit against a 9 and a stand against an 8, so it's right on the edge.

I never see anyone hit soft 18 against any other hand

Blackjack fish itt.

Longy you missed some MAD adventures post surrender the other night, wiiiiiiiii

Yeah read your blog post, sounded absoulute comedy.

Quote from Mike Matasuw after he won a big tournie..

Reporter: So what are you going to do with the money mike?
MM: pay back some people.
Reporter: What about the rest?
MM: They'll have to wait.

Made me lol.

Going paintballing today. Should be fun.

Played live last night for a while and lost a huge pot with 77sx on 7654xsss when I bricked the world against j8 and 89 no spades for 200bb each.


Going to watch Harry Brown now, gl everyone in Vegas/UKIPT today.

tips for paintballing btw?

dont take one in the nuts.

Paintballing was super fun. Really strategic and we had lots of degenerate gambling. Really enjoyed it and will 100% go back again.

We were playing right in the middle of the blazing sun of Spain though so it was super hot.

Going out for tapas tonight with 6 French guys, should be fun.

I didn't like paintballing. It hurt.

We got thrown out as my friend shot the instructor... Sigh

there is a direct correlation here....being unpopular = getting shot a lot

Anyone out there fancy getting food/drinks etc then holla :)

fml thats my wedding anniversary. please dont do anything dumb like get married in vegas during the world series. done some ridic stupid things in my life but that one tops the lot.

<3

You coming to Vegas?

not in the next 14 years unless i get divorced.

omgomgomgomgomgogmmogogm


just spent 5-10 minutes with Girah. Absolute sicko.

#loveatfirstsight

Staying in the Wynn. Anyone been?

Company is having its annual beach party on Sat. We basically get the whole beach, beach club/bar and have BBQ/drinks. It's like 33 degrees at the moment and really really nice breeze off the sea so its not too hot. Will be playing volleyball/beach football etc and should be a great day.

Girah is extending his stay till Sat and supposedly doesnt have anywhere to grind before then, obv snap said he could grind at mine.

#wesoexcited

What does getting married in Vegas have to do with not going back to Vegas?

i got married day 1b in 2009 this july the 4th is my 2nd weddig anniversary so unless i take catherine and the 3 boys its a bit selfish of me to go. never even played a sat for a seat this year because when i win one it would just cause complications. have actually won one for a mate but thats a different story. and i am probably the only person that aint too bothered about las vegas as well

glad you cleared that up - i assumed it was because 14 years would be the first time you'd be eligible for parole................  ::)

I did get a warning for taking £24k in cash in my hand luggage. They found it this side and obv alerted the authorities over there coz they were waiting for me to touchdown. I never thought anything about taking that much cash and assumed that everyone else would have that sort of wedge on em

Wynn is the nuts, enjoy!!

tyty, checked out reviews and looks super sick.

Girlfriend cooked me the most amazing pasta this evening, home cooked food >>> anything. Speaking to landlord to try and sort my housing contract out so I can get oiut and move in with her to a nice new place.

#settlingdownftw

6 more sleeps!

the best in the business.

Yo,

Anyone know of any games in the Costa Del Sol region? Soon to move & would like advice on a cardroom please?

My local has been Dtd (although I've not been playing of late), looking for cash and/or crapshoots. Much obliged

Thank you for providing me with the details. I assume you will be flying with Johannes so we will arrange a limousine pick up for you from the airport and will leave the merchandise for you at the hotel.



oioiiiiiiiiiii

Try the casino in Torreuebrada (sp) if not you can come to Gib and there's always a fun game here, if you're looking for something higher, Peurta Banus, Marbella, has an awesome casino that has 2knl running regularly.

Thanks a lot mate

I just went into a handbag and luggage shop in Gib and the guy convinced me that this handbag was unisex and perfectly acceptable in Vegas as a "manbag"...

I walked down the street and realised that I'd look gay as fuck, so walked into a shop and bought a proper leather man bag for £50..

Now this is where I'm unsure what to do/how to wear it, if I wear it over my back, surely this is relly easy for somebody to unzip and pinch. Also if I go from a casino to a club wtf do I do with the manbag?

Surely you should have asked this on tikay's diary?

Dance around it, ldo.

proper leather man bag

LOL

as if there is such a thing

gonna look like a tit full stop

the best tit in the business mind you

I invented the man bag back in 1998 and since then all the best metro sexual men carry one (Tikay, thewy) although still working on Barry Neville! Don't let anyone tell you they are gay. It's not true. Man bags FTFW!

I have a manbag for poker. Its cool as fk.

Some ppl just can't pull em off. We call these ppl haters.

i have a couple of nice ones that i use for poker tournies, a billybag that my wife found is my fav. if struugling for space on the train/bus then pick yourself up a copy of the gay times and you will be suprised how many guys give up their seats or  wont sit next to you

haha, no one looks gd with a man bag.

mate, you look like a massive bender!

I love the way Cos refuses to realise it looks stupid and still wears it proudly and prances around showing it off.....

oh.....

last time I share a room with Cos.

*Disclaimer, Gay man bags come in various shapes and sizes.

sigh mine looks like the guy in the red pants.

ha, yeh. I remember in Dublin last yr for the IPO me and about 4-5 others were ripping him and he was still proudly strutting around the poker room not just with his man bag but his gay grey carigan too!

Pls dont bring your mankini to Thailand m8

Just get a good old-fashioned satchel (like Jack Bauer).

No poncey shiny leather and big enough to carry an Uzi and a couple of grenades and you're good to go.

HaaaAaaaaaaters

Its not hating mate.

If we were we would all just snigger behind your back.

Were trying to help because we care.

http://en-gb.facebook.com/pages/I-hate-it-when-people-call-my-satchel-a-man-purse/117998171559743?sk=photos

As if I give a shit what I look like in a poker club/casino which if full of mostly complete and utter c-nuts. Its practical for carrying chips, keys, ipod, wallet, phone, chewing gum, big headphones etc.

So are pockets?

Big headphones are just as bad imo

Biters gonna bite.

Never understood those big annoying fuckers tbh.

Yeah and the bags are gay as fuck

(http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq167/Andr4w/straight-vs-gay-2.jpg)

Not biting as I've had toooo many man bag debates to take it seriously but they're fine. lot of people too bothered about their appearance all the time.

Tut! Your no fun, what happened to the days when you would get mad at people on here for a having a cheeky dig, and then spend the rest of the day arguing with them  ;D

Goin to vegas in less than 48 hours woodsey - how come I possibly care about arguing!?

Yeh, why do people wear those big fk off ear muff like headphones? They are proper gay aswell. A pair is normal small ones that fit comfy in your earholes are fine surely?

I have a man bag (never put chips in it unless trying to sneak some to a mate) and wear big  headphones juSt to annoy other players. Sure helps you get paid off as well. As for looking gay I am totally comfortable with that too. You heterosexuals don't realise that just coz we are gay does not mean that we want to hop into bed with each other. There has to be some sort of physical attraction. And I've seen some of you mugs ain't you don't stand a chance with any man or women.

I think we should lay off Cos now Herbie

 :goodpost:

Big headphones are more comfortable and usually much better quality.

lol i dont even own an ipod, mp3 player or have a single track on my phone mate. think i probably told you that before.
hope i aint upset you like bopkins is insinuating. you are one guy who i would not mind spending a night with exploring our bodies.

The day i see you wearing big fk off earmuff headphones whilst sporting that gay grey cardigan with that stupid fkin man bag is the the day our beautiful friendship ends mate!

Man bags ftw


(http://i56.tinypic.com/2cwrfw6.jpg)

Poof  :-X

Man bags are allowed if you have bacon butties in them.


Seriously though, your cock wont fall off if you use one.

I've got a man bag i use for work, its better than carrying stuff in a briefcase, would hate to be called a briefcase wanker.

Just get a nice backpack and for safety wear it like this...

(http://www.handbagheaven.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/backpack-front-197x4001.jpg)

thought you were moving into a love nest with him for a few months. cuddles and hot chocolate watching the sun set ftw

all of this - just buy one all of you!

I bought a small one for Vegas this year and it's perfect for carrying around all my meds and stuff. I look like a ***** without one so it makes no difference to me :S

I will be taking my lArge man bag to Dtd this weekend. Hope to fill it with about 24 bags

To be honest. That's the main reason I have one. Lots of Meds to carry but also comes in handy for all the other shit a modern day sexually comfortable man has to carry like phone, wallet, keys, knife, gun etc

fyp

does anyone hgave any "big headphones" i can buy in vegas?

I love my Louis vuitton man bag
It's super practical. Fits my wallet keys phone and my monster beats.
I don't give a fuck what ppl think . I like it!!!!

didn't you get all your money nicked out of it?

yup

• In vegas!!!!

We got here and after a little altercation with a taxi driver we went to the Wynn. My friend was playing the 200r and managed to sort us a really good deal out for £ into $. Didnt have enough for me though.

Whilost we were in the mall a huge thunderstorm happened, aggresive thunder and lightening, was crazy, the locals told us it was the first rain since December. Jesus Christ I run bad!

(http://images.pictureshunt.com/pics/t/thunder_and_lightning-3318.jpg)

I bought some Dr.Dre headphones and then went in to check into our first hotel/3. Was nice, not amazzzing, but nice. We went to the MGM casino and sat down at my first cash game outside of Europe :d Was no seats at 500nl so just grinded 100nl and lost a chunk. Bought into the 500nl game when there was a seat and ended up winning around 6 bis :)

(http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/01/Beats-by-Dr-Dre.jpg)

I met someone there and we went to Bellagio for drinks and some food. They started taking drugs and I wasnt keen (it was 9am Gibraltar time as this point and I hadn't slept) I walked back across the strip thinking wow this is the life and then put my head down and had a nice sleep.

Johannes (Soycd) woke me up in the morning telling me I was talking poker in my sleep  :tongue: He said I just kept saying, I've got 24, I've got 2/4. Probably saying I was all in etc all night. Crazy!

Woke up at 9 this morning, went over to the WYnn and checked in. "Would you like 2 doubles or a deluxe king room sir?" weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. We have seperate rooms and I really, really like min. There is a huge jacuzzi which I'm going to take care of later.

I walked out onto the poker room and played some 1/3. Played really good and won 2 bi's or so in 90 minutes and came back to my room to call someone but they were offline so I'm just chilling waiting for them and then will.

People who know me know I don't mind parting with $$$$$, however here the city is just so money driven its sick. We had a 5 minute cab and the meter said $10.50 I was like, just take $11 mate and he was going crazy asking where his tip was, I told him it was in his exaggerated meter rate and then tossed him a couple of $ and said bye! Drnks are free everywhere for poker players, so thats cool!

Its July 4th today, so a super big day in the states. Will be going for some food, then having some drinks. Will play poker for a while and then get an earrrrrrrrrrrlyishhhhhh night before our WSOP event tomorrow. Reportedly 700k for first? Ship itttt.

them dr. dre headphones have caught on hotter than a pair of kappa tracksuits in their pomp.

take the drugs, just once (but dont play on them, party on them)

I'd been up so long, didn't need to get drugs and stay up for an extra 12 hours, would be seriously fucked then too.

Also I odnt mind people taking drugs around me, but random people I'm with for the first time taking them, I'd rather just meh it off and go sleep :D

Also LOL at Whollyflush, so true, but they are the nuts.

Played with Kevin WIlliams last night, really nice guy and plays good too.

Also they do this thing where if it folds to the small blind, they say "chop" and expect the big blind to chop. On my occasion there was an Asian woman who was super passive and she took great offence to me declining the chop and raising when she completed. Thoughts on this ett?

Standard, those wankers piss me off. I just say, I didn't spend nearly 12 hours on an aeroplane getting here just to chop. :-X

Chopping is f gay.

God chopping is so tilting, I will only do it if the SB is a complete whale and seems keen. Otherwise gtfo.


I managed to sit down at the Wynn on the direct left of a Vic reg who I've played with before, I was like wtf you doing here go away from my game, to which he said "I was here first lanky gtfo" rotflmfao

folds to him he looks at his cards, offers me the chop, I laugh and decline. he's like no really I don't mind do you wanna chop I snap say no peel J4 flop a 4 and lose to his Aces. as;ldfalsdfalskfadsfj



fun times.

Last 4 pages are superb.

Have a great time in Vegas Pleno, stay of the drugs, It's the last place in the world, that you will need any substances to enhance your time there.

tytyty,  wsop today :)

for some people on here they may call the $1500 events a "bowl" but for me its my first wsop event which is pretty special and something I've dreamt about for the last 4 years or so that I've been playing poker. I've had 4/4 winning sessions in Vegas and really feel like I'm playing good. Hopefully I can do a ship!

Gl mate, enjoying the blog.

Mbn to play a wsop event.

glglgl

writing this blog in a silk wynn dressing down, so comedy! only in vegas, will try and get a picture uploaded if I can!

do a win pls, glgglglglglgl

Other than weed, which I don't do anymore anyway, I've never tried a single other drug - they're not needed and like vinny says, esp not in vegas.

Gl today in 1500. Shud try meet up in next few days.

There's lots of things that aren't needed but we still have them anyway.

Drugs are pretty frickin awesome in my opinion although I don't take any these days through choice.

If you want some have it, if you don't then don't. Pretty simple really.

Woke up at 6.30am today, talked to gf on skype and then browsed internet for a while. I was really tilted because laptop wasnt charged so couldnt listen to a podcast in the really sick bath I have here, beomaned my luck and then got into the bath to realise there's a really nice TV facing me on the wall. Weeee.

Wen't downstairs to Wynn cash room to punish some of the graveyard shifters. Went pretty well, ran decently bad and still booked a win.

1500 in like 2 hours. lets gogogogogogogo.

#bracelettime

GLGLGLGL in 1500.

wtffffff..

Got this William Hill badge and have to wear it today, it has a sticky thing that comes off then the badge, i have no idea how to put it on. Help?

gl m8

Good luck

Busted the $1500 today. 99 v k10dd on 984dd flop, but he jaammed like 90 bbs and someone else all in, soooooo bad by him.

I'm really gutted as I stayed in yesterday, focused and really been "working" out here grinding the games and playing good games and walking away from the bad ones. I am convinced I have a huge huge edge in these comps, but obv the variance is ridiculous. My girlfriend was convinced I was going to win today, but you really have to run well to win these comps and by well I mean getting good hands to hold up and getting coolers on your right side, rather than just getting there when behind.

(http://rinth89.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/businessman-banging-his-head-against-the-wall-ispc026073.jpg)

I think if I stayed here all summer playing comps then I would come out in good profit, I would guesstimate that a 50% roi playing daily value comps is more than achievable. Will carry on grinding the cash games for now though, I really think live cash is my speciality and just wish you could play some more hands per hour :p,  6/6 winning sessions so far and will hope to keep this up.

Going to PKR VIP party tonight at Mirage, should be fun.

(http://nevadablogging.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Mirage-Hotel-Las-Vegas-Night-View.jpg)

Also found out today that I will be moving in with my girlfriend as soon as I get back. Really happy about that as she has a big positive impact on my life. I've never been close to serious with a girl before, but she is definitely the one I want to "settle down with" for now and maybe far into the future.

Havn't touched a drop of alcohol yet on the trip so will probably down my sorrows this evening.

Peaceeeeeeeee out.

Nice write ups.

Glad to see you winning , keep it up.

Yesterday was crazy night!

Went to meet osme friends in the Miragem decided to go 2 hours early and play a session so I can chalk up anohter cardroom. Really weird casino/hotel, some of it is super nice and others is abit, I dunno. Weird.

(http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/73964/73964,1200946357,1/stock-photo-the-mirage-casino-hotel-in-las-vegas-8751913.jpg)

Booked a 1.5bi profit to ship the 7/7 winning sessions in Vegas now, then went on to the Revolution Lounge to meet my coach Simon and a few of his friends.

PKR were doing a VIP party and there was around 100-300 (no idea on numbers :D)

(http://www.pkrbetsbonuscode.com/images/pkr.jpg)

Everything is free, but as soon as we get in the VIP manager rushes over and grabs us for the only VIP table. We're like, meh whatever (Simon/WIll both top rakers on PKR) and he starts going crazy pouring us literally full glasses of Belverdere with sprinkles of red bull. I usually die off Jager so confessed I was "allergic" to it and it basically destroyed the guys as they downed double and triple Jager bombs.

(http://www.my7hops.com/arbit_data/image/344/Grey_Goose_lineup.jpg)

Moved on to Lodden thinks and I got pretty much owned for decent amounts :(

Then.... Vladimir 'Beyne' Geshkenbein came over, he's known for being off his rocker and he came over to our table demanding we drink more. He's done in alottttttt this trip but seemed super super happy. Like anybody who had done in 6 figures would usually be miserable or what not, but he simpyl doesnt give a fuck about money, hes degen but good at poker and knows he can spin up if needs be. I quite like his philosophy on life/poker/brm and he seems to be super happy so gl to him.

(http://uk.pokernews.com/w/articles/4ad3/00f5b0256.jpg)

Anyway after excessive alcohol consumption, he decided that we should play rock paper scissors for decent amounts of money. There was 3 of us, and from being insanely loud and dancing we all insta shut up and turn around to plan our strategy. He declares that he's going to go rock which totally fucks me, I think he's bluffing and will go paper, I go scissors and ofc he has rock. Sigh.

Anyway he's really hyper now and wants to play higer, I agree and somehow in a 4/5 way rps increased stakes game I go rock and they all go scissors. Shipppppppppp it :

May sound pretty nerdy/geeky without girls etc, but it was really good fun gambling/drinking and the club was super nice.

I don't really remember the next couple of hours but I end up playing slot machines with a girl and her "Mom" they were both super nice and both wore cowboy hats. Pretty comedy, I ran well at slots and then attempted to make my way home.

I stumbled into the Palazzo on the way back and after unsuccessfully finding a poker game I found myself trying to get out. I went to 4 incorrect exits before being in a staff lift "out back" the doors were locked and I did a huge FMLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL as I thought I could be stuck for the night in here. Eventually found a security button and managed to get out.


(http://palazzolasvegas.org/wp-content/uploads/Palazzo-Las-Vegas-10.jpg)

More parts including Peurta Ricon hookers blowing weed into my face but this is already getting very TL;DR  :D

Going to stumble down o a pool party and chill all day.

Peaceeeeeeeee

Just had the call form Cos that I've been invited to dine with his fine self and fellow blondes.

"Bring a chunk its not going to be cheap"

:D

So today has been a pretty epic day.

Woke up, did the usual, went to meet my friend at the pools. Get into the pool area and I'm literally speechless, its really really nice. I pop upstairs to the spa which is very pricey so decide to go to the salon and get my wig chopped too. Havn't been to hairdressers in 6 months as never trusted anyone with my hair, the girl here though cuts Antonio Esfandiari/Robl etc etc hair so I thought meh why not.


(http://blog.cakepoker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/esfandiari-wpt-win.jpg)

She tells me she used to be going out with a guy who played for Chelsea then moved to Wigan.. Any guesses?


On way out of the hairdressers Cos rings me asking to come to Venetian to meet him before heading out to "this really nice restaurant." I ofc say cool and meet him there.

(http://www.hickerphoto.com/data/media/173/venetian_gondola_t2521.jpg)

We get to the restaurant in the Cosmopolitan and its really nice. We then get told that we are going to the private section of the restaurant that Sunny said is only open once a month. We get into it and it is literally like a chefs dream kjitchen, he is cooking infront of us and we all lined out perfectly.

There is Marky147, Alex Pretty Boy Martin, Cos, Sunny, One of Marks friends and myself.

We have no idea what is coming, I was expecting some sort of steak and a few courses... 24, yes TWENTY FOUR dishes later we are finished and really impressed how nice it was. For every course we had a different kind of alcohol including sherry, lager, wine, etc etc etc.

I knew obviously that it would be the most I've personally paid for a meal but when the bill came we all snap declined to do credit card roulette. Nvm though, was great fun.

We head back to my Cosapartment in the Palazzo. I take back my comments from yesterday what I said about it being a shithole. Cos suite is incred and we played Chinese Poker ff, I won 50 points for a couple of hours, I win 50 points or so.

We get a text from our Mitch that he is in last hundo of the $1500 event from yesterday, hes a great guy so obviously we insta get a taxi to the Rio. On the rail there are like 6/7 internet kids who were railing two American guys who were on same table. We end up having an argument about a river line that some guy took. They disagreed with us (but we were 100% right) and they said something like, "google me and see that I'm miles better than you" ... "hu4rollllllztho?" would have put an end to that.

Mitch finally busts in 60th for $10k.

We go back to the Venetian and I grind the 2/5 game and book another win making it 100% for the trip :):):)

One nice hand, I make it $15 UTG w/k10o, UTG+1 calls and UTG+2 makes it $45, I 4bet to $135, he calls.

Flop is 455, I cbet $115, he calls.

Turn is A, he has like 650 back, I make it 275 and he folds KK.

Going to see Penn and Teller tomorrow with all the Cos, Sunny, Keith Johnson, Keys? and my boss Johannes.

Mario Melchiot?


Penn and Teller's show is awesome.

Yeah was the big guy.

(http://images.teamtalk.com/08/01/800x600/Mario_Melchiot_630243.jpg)

Went to Aria and played in biggest game of the trip so far.

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ulVyUOVM_Ww/S9fE9Gw4ZWI/AAAAAAAABEw/19ZIG8pUqG8/s1600/Aria-heat-las-vegas.jpg)

Grinded 100bb profit and then get it in with qq on k529ddxx for 200bb+ each against AJdd and loser the second biggest pot of my life :(

At the 2+2 party now. Just saw Matt Slansky, I'm about to inform him that he owes me a few thousand from Aria! He also has a like 21 year old gf, its pretty com.

(http://www.sklanskybucks.com/images/sklansky.jpg)

Bit gutted at today and something came up in personal life. Bad day but hopefully tomorrow will be beterr.

Upsss and downnnn, smilesss and frownnnnns.

LOL that was a pretty sick dinner and most definitely my most expensive ever too. Was talking with Alex after when we were out and we both felt that it was a bit too 'fine dining' for our palates. Still the whole experience was amazing and I'm glad I went. Hope you get the lot while you're there and enjoy the rest of your trip m8!

jeez

not jealous at all :(

2p2 party was super fun.

I asked Slansky where my bucks were and he looked at me bemuzzled. :D

I bought my gf something from a shop in the Wynn though and for over 20 minutes they disputed that my passport was me. Was so ridic and they only gave in when I said fuck it I'm going.

(http://tx.english-ch.com/teacher/jasper/fake_passport_wt_r_1.jpg)

Drank a few drinks and had complimentary food from 2p2, was really nice.

(http://img.rankplan.net/img-2000/images/1185.jpg)

We then went onto the poker floor, if you are the first player to sit at a table you make the rules up.

I plonk myself down and announce reverse holdem. Basically there is 1 flop card, 1 turn card and 3 river cards. It's super fun and people play it so badly that its even very +ev for me too :D I won abit and will put it down as a winning session.

I then went to Tony Dunst (Bond18) and played Chinese with him and his gf, was super fun and we got on well. He is super slimey, but I think he's genuinely a nice guy. Crushed him+gf for around 50 points.

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Lp-API5HbS8/TD4IhULbNII/AAAAAAAAAZQ/m_dfr5R2HgE/s1600/td.gif)

Final table I went to was a one with 5 high stakes limit players, they were playing a game called Joe's Baby which was invented by Joe Tall. Basically you get 5 cards, there is a betting round then you discard, there is then a flop, turn and river with normal betting rounds. On the river, there are 2 pots. A omaha pot where you use 2 out of your 5 cards with 3 cards on the board and then a 5 card hand which is the 5 cards in your hand. I think I adjusted better to the game than them and won quite a big chunk.

Going to bed quite early tonight, playing the Venetian Deepstack tomorrow at 12, so hopefully do a shipship.

GN from Vegas. x

omg!

The Chinese guy who won pot vs me in the $1500 for 4x average is 1/6 at the final table. So siiiick, should be me innit!

Looks like your having a proper gd time m8, nice. I'm really jel, wish i was there! <3 Vegoooose

you say 'super' too much :P

10 just on this page!

Had one super fun hand yesterday.

There was this old guy who was talkign about online players being socially inept and made several comments about me, ofc I just yawnsighed them off and cba arguing with somebody in a 2+2 party lols.

I 4bet him pre in one hand he folds and I show a deuce. Then he goes really wild saying that proves his pointl, socially enept over 9000 times. I yawnsigh it off once again.

I raise UTG to $8 w/ 8c 8d, he 3bets pots it. I cawl.

Flop is  7d. I c/pot his pot bet and he jams on me.

I do a pretend sigh although I know my hand is pretty strong here and have my hands over the top of my cards ready to muck. He sais "gotcha" in a reallllllly annoying voice. I fakenly sighnod.

Turn is  Ahrt and he goes "booooooooom" turning his hand over. I nod and nod again as the river comes  8s 2d 2d

I flick one 8 over and say nice hand mate, just as his fingertip goes to drag in the pot from the first chip I anoounce "ohhhh wait a minute" and say sorry bro.

Maybe a little over line but he def deserved it.

lol he played it well. showed how socially inept you are

i love not taking the high road vs pricks like this.

doing stuff like that is way more fun.

does sound like a super fun hand tbf...

LOL, all the kidz over on 2+2 say it all the time, as he'd just been to one of their parties I'd say its catching........... :-X

This really is a super diary.

1. What game are you playing here that has a one card flop and a 3 card river?

2. Did you use Google translate on your post or something, where it thinks the word 'nod' means something different to what it actually does??

you must read the previous post about the party and choice of games james

lol +1 Longy. Super duper fun hand thou

Just grinded the Venetian deepstack. Had 400k at 2k/4k with avg of like 150, lost k10 v 69 aipf, AQ v A4 aipf and AQ v 44 aipf, for 300k worth of pots which would be around 8% of the chips in play with 50 left. Instead I had 100k and 12 bigs coming back at 4k/8k/1k, fml.

Going to win 3 flips and have double average obv.

Some really fun hands though, will do a full trip report tomororw when I bust/win.
