Stop saying fastroll. It's not a term that exists in poker

Tommy Angelo coined this term in Elements of Poker, which is the best book ever written about poker. It means the opposite of slowroll i.e. turning your hand over quickly, especially (but not confined to) those times when it seems likely that you have the winning hand. I love the term, and I try to fast roll as often as possible.

I especially like the bit in his book where Tommy refers to fastrolling as being "stylishly trusting, and fast".

Probably where I picked it up from..

I've watched the 'Eightfold path to Poker Enlightenment' which is a very good series about playing poker for a living.

.

Decided to win the rest off the tp folding guy.. So made me have 10's SB vs his btn 33 on 103766.

:-D

[X] got the rest.
[X] first thing I thought of was why wasn't it vs seat 1? (covers me)
[ ] Proud of the thought...

So now were winning again which is nice...

Cooler seat 1???

Being dealt AK every hand atm.. Think I've won a princely sum of £0 sterling.

Although I have only lost pre flop bets so far, which is a testament to how horrible the boards have been.

I feel like I should be getting exploited, im check, checkfolding so much... But meh.

Just made a nice raise/ bet/ bet/ bet with AJ on Jxxr Xcc, Xc vs a short stack (all in otf) and a limp/ calling bigger stack next to me.
From what he said prior to folding the river I reckon he probably had Jx.  Shame he folded river then.

Value betting well and not bluffing much... = winning. Cheesy

Ez game.

Never stop, always good... Just a case of where...


I knew today was going too well.

Id planned and timed everything perfectly today - one vital floor tho.
Left bags to go get car and pick them up.. So tube to car and realise I took my keys out and put them in my bag yesterday to be less cluttered.

Fml.

48 mins later, double tube route and sweated nuts off taking bags on tube.

Decided we are going to play GPS Birmingham tomorrow...

Going to smash it!

Put a thread up on blonde
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=60280.0

for 30%.


I'll double check the numbers on the London sessions, but it seems that we managed to come home a princely sum of +£650, which considering we dusted off £1300 in complete nonsensical fashion leaves supreme hope for the future.

Looking forward to tomorrow, haven't played one of these since Stoke and although I bust with 2nd nuts (which apparently they 'had' to see after I left table - ty boys) I know it was a mistake.

Hoping to rectify that and do my best to bring home some bacon.

Well that was quick, sold out in 20mins.


Looking forward to it, heading to bed in a minute I think.

Got fresh sheets on, feeling good instead of food poisoned and up for the challenge tomorrow... Just need to not have Deadman on my table for the first hour...
