Phew, saw someone that looked like him today... glad I resisted the temptation to ask a complete stranger if he was called Snoopy then!!

I did pop back from Copenhagen though for a spot of Notts shopping. Not too keen on the shops round here.

for me its a no brainer, he has A A i wouldnt of called preflop, why cant u put someone aces kings or queens limping in early posistion with only 7 hands played? id limp with aces in early posistion, the blinds arent worth taking after the flop ull ull know if ur aces are still good

Hi guys just got in from the £1000 freezeout at luton and I passed KK in the very 1st level preflop.

The raiser had been in every pot but had just shown down the nuts and I was on 9000 chips after a starting stack of 10k. We had been playing about 30 mins. (On the very 1st hand this player had raised 400 out of the bb after me and Dan Samson had limped we folded and the dealer accidently exposed A3o).

He open raises to 300 6x the bb raise which was a normal sized raise for him and there are 2 callers before it gets to me and I was in the cutoff seat. Now I am very happy to pick up the 1000 no risk so I make it 2200 to play. The original raiser now goes into the tank but I already think he has his mind made up and I am pretty sure he is gonna move all in. After a 30 second dwell he says all in and slides all his chips in. I nearly passed instantly thought for another 10 seconds and flipped them face up he shows me AA. 

To me this was a very easy fold and I disagree with the people who say you can't fold KK preflop. Once he went all in I had no intention of calling I don't think. I went on to amass nearly 50,000 in chips and then proceeded to lose them all after some ridiculous bluffs but that is another story.

I will be posting a few hands from the tournament soon which I think were interesting maybe not now as I am still working out how I am not still in (oh yeah I bluffed them all off like an idiot)!

We've all been there. I recall you being the recipient of me doing so in a Brighton Omaha comp.

Looking forward to the hands, get some sleep in the meantime man.
