I played £1/2 Texas at DTD last night, and after about 6 hours I had a little over £300 in front of me. The trouble was, it stood to £1300. It was one of those horrible sessions when everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. When I wasn't outdrawn, I was outplayed. I just couldn't win a fkn hand.

I had been keeping an eye on the table next to mine. This was also a £1/2 Texas game but everyone was deep and the game was getting seriously lairy.

Example: 3 players all in pre creating a pot in excess of £1500. The hands were  V  V  .

With about 10 mins to go before they called last 3 hands a seat opened up on table lairy. I put my best shit or bust head on and moved into it.

Two hands later I'm dealt 

I'm first to speak so I smooth call. On this table, I can almost guarantee that someone will raise.

A couple more players call, and then Thewy makes it £20 to go, a late position Matey Boy calls and then it's folded back to me. I rr to £60, Thewy and Matey call.

The first two cards on the flop are  and I'm thinking "Here we go again...."  Then.. Hallelujah!... The  .

Now.. please let one of them have the queen....

I check, Thewy checks, and Matey checks.

The turn is the   At this point, all the money goes in.....




Matey has  and Thewy has 



I made £37 profit on the night.

Loving that hand Red. 

I had pocket twos when I was there on Friday, and flopped quads.  Managed to win a whole fiver from that hand (might have even been a tenner).

Ah, I wondered why Thewy was moaning on Facebook.

Top marks for table selection - clearly a well timed move!

I've just been forced to watch eastenders. To ease the boredom, I counted the characters who got annoyed and shouted at someone.

Total = All of them.



Next: Holby City. Been running 15 mins, count so far = 11

I'll file it along with those threes.

I noticed an unusual bird on my bird feeder. It looked like a robin, but it had a white patch on the back of it's head. (robins don't have a white patch)

After a bit of messing about, I managed to get a photo. It is a robin... but it's bald!

I thought perhaps a cat had had a go at it, but Tony reckons the baldness is caused by a mite. I think he could be on to something.
