I think you're never far behind in this spot, and have live draws to a better hand, judging from the action it's tough for him to have the big wrap and the nut flush draw. I would probably put him on top set and flip with him here, these spots come up a whole lot of the time and the game is high variance

I think your fairly deep so the bet size is okay, your betting for value at this point and don't want second pair type of hands to fold. And like you said if you bet. 3/4 of pot you would of got stacked

That Boom hand was pretty brutal, could'nt of played it any differently!

Thanks, I'll have a butchers.

Are many blondes heading down to the vic next week?

I live near beford park, so Livingstone primary and Edith Cavell are the schools within the catchment area. We've put livingstone as first choice, so we are hoping that's the one we get.... Not sure what they take into account when the powers to be let us know which one we have got.

Are your kids still school age TightEnd ? My oldest starts school this September, so it's the first time I've ever been visiting schools, reading offstead reports Ect trying to figure out the best place to send my little princess.

Hey and thanks for the welcome Alex.

I just started playing in them about October time, and have only played a few times. But yeah, I find the games good fun, plenty of action and a good atmosphere to play in... No complaints so far. next time I'm up I'll ask the table if CambridgeAlex is about, good to put a name to a face.

Hi and welcome

we do have a big presence that play in Luton, not as big as it used to be but still plenty of posters who started and used to play there me included

my kids live in wootton and i lived there and flitwick, btw. just down the road...


Thanks TightEnd much appreciated- Yep that's just down the road, we have probably bumped into each other at the tables there if you still pop down? I think the skill level of the regs down in luton is just as good as anywhere in the UK. The regular Friday night and Sunday, are always good value too... It's where it all started for me when I was introduced to the game by an old football mate.

Good evening Blonde,

Having enjoyed all of the blogs and advice these last couple of years, and have been wanting to sign up an account for some time now, if finally gotten around to joining the community.

I've been mainly solely been playing online for the past 5 years now, with having the odd monthly trip to luton g casino to play the monthly special, and more recently up to Nottingham to play in John's deep 1-2 game. Juggling this with having a full time job, and a young family, has often left it's toll, emotionally and mentally in particular. For this reason, I've finally withdrawn my roll and have decided to cut down my hours and solely play local(to Bedford) GUKPT,UKIPT and the sky poker tour up in Nottingham, and the odd value comp in luton. I'm not sure if this will improve the time I spend with the family more, but that's the plan.

My first planned trip is the gukpt London down at the vic in a couple of weeks,(fortunate enough to have won 2 seats online in the past few weeks), and I'm looking to play the six max and the Omaha events in between some cash sessions. I'm told playing live the long periods are more mentally draining, and being gym fit helps to keep my mentally ticking over..... Not sure about this, but I may need to invest in a gym membership if proven correct.

Ive noticed blonde has quite a strong following from Bedfordshire/London area, so I have probably met and played with a few of you on here, and look forward to meeting others...... Bedtime routine calls..... Over and out.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen you at the g for a while now.
Glad you've got yourself back reinstated👍. How did the Saturday lunch time comp go?
