Cheers Jim for the staking ... my comp was really weird...
First hand on small blind I have
4 limpers, I make up BB checks .. Flop
which was nice !! I check , call a 100 bet as does 1 other player ... Turn a
CHECK ... Call a 125 bet as does 1 other ... River
I am first to speak so bet 225 1 caller who showed
and i was off and running.
By the end of level 2 I had increased my starting stack of 7k to 9.5k nothing fancy, had
, someone raised 3 callers, so pumped up the pot with a re raise and they all passed .. the table was ridiculous, Expressman was at my table, and he will justify, it was full of calling stations, absolutely incredible !
One lad, who was quite open about it being his first ever live game, and he was truly bloody awful, called from any position with any sooooooooted cards, and called flop bets even if he only saw one of his coloured cards on the flop etc ... AWFUL !
Level 3 and I pick up
blinds are 100/200 5 limpers round to me, and i make it 800 all pass apart from the station in seat 6 ... flop
he checks, I lead out for 1200 he calls ... Turn is
he checks, I bet 1500 he calls !!! ... river is
... he checks, i check ... he turns over
!! someone asked him if he didnt fancy a value bet on the river, he replied "No, i thought he had a TEN" ... much hilarity when he was asked why he called flop and turn bets if he thought i had a ten in my hand, all he said was,"I had suited cards and hit the flop and I would have called all in on the river anyway cos i had a full house ". Hmmmmmmmm
So 6k at the end of level 3 ... certainly not a disaster ( oh little did i know)
nothing much happened after the break until the last hand of the level ... I get
On the BB 5 Limpers (sigh) so I pop it to 1200 to play ... mr station in seat 6 ... yes he is still here
calls everyone else mucks, flop
... Now I know this bloke is a muppet but I think well i am gonna play this like I have AK instead of AJ .. so i lead for 2400 ... Call ... oh sigh .... Turn is
and I shove my last 4k in ... he INSTA calls and shows ...........
... yes of course, the club hits the river and I wish him luck as i walk off and out for a cig !!
