Think poker must be rigged if i didn't win here..

clearly though  two spades vs  / is definitely going to win its next all in! (its 30% and we lost the last two... so now has to win, maths says so)


I guess its probably a mistake but when you have an M of 4 and shove over two limpers it can't ever be a big mistake.  Back on my crazy satelite run tonight!  Just having Bacon and Egg sandwhich cooked by my lovely Charlene. Cheesy

Life News
Went to the Gym with my bro alex and we worked ourselves pretty hard! The abdominal exercises were killer and at one point I'm pretty sure my stomach muscles gave up and I was flailing around the floor like a beached whale!

Alex and I weighed ourselves for the first time in our few months of going to the gym -
Alex Is preparing for some mixed martial arts (MMA) 'grappling' fights in a few months time he needs to be a certain weight, while getting fitter and stronger.
John I am just trying to regain my previous levels of fitness and tone up a bit on the way.. well - I've put on 5kg's and I'm now a few sugar cubes away from the 100kg mark.  This is pretty annoying news but it is in reflection of our workout which is rather freeweight and upper body heavy.  I know the extra muscle will burn the fat I have quicker as muscle requires more calories to maintain itself, but its still annoying to go up in weight when I'm working so hard to get 'fit' (silly mind games I know).

Felt so good after the gym though, and coming home to a Mexican flavored Chicken breast with rice stuffed peppers was amazing! Well played Charlene!



Todays Sat Grind

DTD500 mini satellite
We bust this while still 9 handed but a good few levels in when we jammed 12bb's with  into the BB's  .

DTD500 Mega satellite
We played really solid throughout, unfortunately failing to get paid on our only two good starting hands of AA and QQ which mean we awaited the 15-20bb stage and did our usual reshove/ shove/ fold game.  Unfortunately we got all the way to the final 16 as usual but then ran and 17k @ 1/2k into the  of another player and GG that's us in 15th... sigh! We really don't need a lot of rungood in these, just to get paid on one of the hands we wait so patiently for and then watch everyone bust themselves until we're in the money.

Nevermind.  4 more left this week! Lets get a couple!

Bust the Devilfish satellite
This one was fun and again we played very solid, only 3 hands until the blinds were at 400/800 or something.
Although this is decieving you into thinking I didn't do anything 'creative'... the first hand I played was the old  and bb vs utg we craised a  flop and then when he 'clicked it back' we shoved our two overs and bkdrfd knowing that he has to fold all of his air and it makes no sense for him to have AA/ KK here and 'click' our CR.. so imo he always has  / / similar weak 1pair holding.  Name was JGxxx and I'm wondering if this was Mr Jonathan Gill of DTD fame...Huh?

Either way he decides to snap with 10's when we shove for 10k over his 3.1k 3bt.  I'm not sure what JG thinks we have here.. but I don't think its the best call tbh.  Its a rainbow board with only 67 or J10 as draws, the latter with one over and oesd.  All other hands I do this will will be 88/99/44/ 98 or JJ+ and vs a UTG raise I could even have the big pairs as people fold to often to 3bts in these early stages. Doesn't matter as we river a Q and gg sir whoever you are.
(btw this is still in the 're-entry' part of the tournament and this is the only reason for our slightly adventurous play)

Then we play really solid and tight for the rest as we have a top2 stack and the moneys all up top.  We play pretty good throughout the rest, getting Chinese Frankie to bluff off half his stack when we cbet then cc, cc 2nd pair no kicker... tyvm Frankie.

And finally we get down to the last 14 or something and we overshove 33bb's over a UTG raise in order to look weak and we get what we want when    snaps us off for 90% his stack and then flops a Q and rivers the nut flush.  GG, wp, nh, sigh sirrr.......

This would have given us a top2 stack and a monstrous chip lead with a really good shot at running for a seat into this Devilfish-y thing. But next time I guess.



Two days till the cash deal starts with Pleno, would be nice to start it freerolling my grind PC from this weeks DTD500 satellites.  Two more seats please!

Thanks fella.

Come in after work today to find Charlene listening to Classic FM and after yesterday when she cleaned up around the flat and did a whole bunch of little nice 'in the flat' things she even volunteered to go and get tonights dinner!  All was going well until she suggested we keep the Classic FM on as I might become more like Lex Gouldhuis and win for once - the absolute cheek!


Today's Satellite grind
So today was an example of why poker is a great game, and why 'they' play it.

We could not win today, no matter what we did.  Didn't even make any mistakes after all the losing, just lost some more instead. Morale was high the entire time and all my readings of peoples blogs (Alex, Lil'D, Mondatoo, etc etc) just help me through every silly hand.

The only thing that gets to me is when a player does something really strange with little or no reasoning or logic and just happens upon the best hand - like he found it while walking through the forest and it glinted at him from under a bear trap... but somehow the hunter was busy having a piss for those 10 seconds and so our 'hero' manages to pick it up and walk off despite the ignorance of his actions and the preparation of the hunter.

DTD Mini Sat's

DTD500 £20
We played 3 of these today and lost in a varying but similar fashion
vs  aipf.
vs  (bvb) aipf, then next hand vs aipf.
vs  aipf, then next hand  vs  aipf.

DTD GP Sat
- 66 (shoved) vs AK (raise, call) vs Q10 (call, call- vwp!)
- A10 vs aipf (limp called 14bb's) - 96x 8 x

DTD Devilfish Sat
- This recreational player who I have reads on as 'erratic' is sat to my left and this happens.

I raise and he decides to 3bt my UTG+1 raise, I'm pretty sure he's full of it, so I 4bt small in order to snap him off with  .
He flats the 4bt with about 2:1 pot to stack ratio.

Pot (8500)
Flop

I decide to check call as I expect him to bet his bluffs.  He check's back which is weird but I'm not going to give up if the turn bricks

Turn
 
This is a brick and I decide to just take the pot here, so I set him in for 7k, he snaps with the mighty . Vnh sir, vwp, please come again soon!

River
Meh, who cares. 

We decide to reload as there are a limited number of Devilfish Sat's and the £25 is well worth it.  We play really solid for another few levels and then get a gift of a double up, I can't even remember what it was as it was absolutely horrendous.  All is going good right up until we get to the final two tables where we've managed to nurse our 18bb's along for a while.  We shove HJ with the stupendous  and run head straight into 8bb's with    , flop is K high and then the river brings his A (can't even win when behind!).

Grind our 10bb's out for another few orbits then get in  vs the old
[X] We made a set of 9's
[  ] We won the hand
[X] He made a straight




Today -
[X] Won a hand
[X] Lost a couple of hands
[X] Can't wait for tomorrows grind
[  ] Morale low
[X] Early night with the lady - boom boom boom let me hear ya say 'waaayyyy ooooh'.
[X] Like checkboxes
[-] Grind PC by months end...... jury is out.

Life Things
Gym went well today, been working on the old freeweights as its good for the body and I'm looking forward to the muscle>fat issue resolving itself as the muscle should require more calories and therefore eat the fat.

We added some more abbs exercises and that hurts a tonne!

Tonights DTD grind
DTD500 £20 mini sat
Busted early, nothing special.

DTD500 Mega Sat
JUST BUSTED ON THE DIRECT BUBBLE WITH 56k, avg is 58k with 3x <26k stacks..... ouch.     

"misssafe" is clearly a beginner player and has been opening a lot, 'he' opened a level or so ago and we 3bt shoved 22bb's with AJo... he tanked all the way down with A10o apparently. 

Misssafe opens and we find AKo, decide to 3bt shove..... I really don't know why when we have a seat locked up, such a ridiculous rookie mistake.
He snaps with 10's and holds to nock us out.

"oh john.... oh dear john.......... - sighhhhhhh"

So this week thats:
- 13th for direct bubble £40.... wp sir
- 13th for 3 off
- and 16th for 6 off.... nevermind.

DTD Devilfish Sat
Can't remember but think I played pretty good apart from one mistake where I bet, called a river with top two pair after playing  trappy preflop on a
three clubs board - mistake i think.  Guy had K3, GG to 1/2 our stack.

Then we get like 9bb's in with  and get called by  and can't get there...




Cliffs
So all in all, morale was very high after the gym, couldn't win for a while and busted the Feeder and the Devilfish sat.  Then make a super deep run and direct bubble with AK vs 10's when there were 3x <26k stacks left @ 1500/3000 when we make an insane ICM shove.

So disappointed in myself right now, a £560 mistake for no reason whatsoever... then get rubz from the guy with 10's "I TOLD HIM...." - whatever mate.

Woop @ Alex Martin ITT....

The awkward moment when Alex realises we've already met... Over a beer at GUKPT Cov when we went to check out his and AR's pitchside room and I went down onto the Coventry pitch for a wander about.

Alex is normally smashed when he is in a casino, he can barely remember his own name, let alone someone else's.
