This is NOT another diary... actually, it is!

[Beaver808]

we busted... meh just 1.88 for our troubles

[Beaver808]

Well well well.... just had a quick 20ish minutes on the SkyPoker HU .02/.04 tables - I stacked my very unlucky opponent after hitting two full houses in succession and getting paid off for both. So, we both bought in for £4 and after stacking him 20 minutes later I seems to have earnt £2.34 - the rake to play at those levels is just stupid expensive!!!!

/end rant

[rbc_mike]

These Sky Poker Double you money tourney's are a lot of fun!!!!

I withdrew a few quid and left myself with exactly £100 last friday - after putting a couple of quid on the Grand National for the family, I was down to £80 d'oh!! Oh well, I haven't had time to grind properly so can either a) top it up or b) spin it up knowing that I'll be getting the money back after scrapping my old car for £130. So with £80 we obv fire up a .20/.40 and buy-in for the max £40

• we went for option B

Hero is in the BB with 100+ BB
Villian is SB with 100+ BB also

No reads or stats to add.

Folds round to the small blinds who calls for .20

Hero raises to £1.20 holding

Villain calls

Villain Checks

Hero bets £2.40

Villain Checks

Hero bets £4

Villain Folds


How's my line looking? I was trying to perfect the art of bluffing, it's just lucky that we hit the 8 on the flop...

I'm all for bluffing, but please choose a hand with at least some good post-flop playability, Dwan and Ivey would struggle to play 83o profitably! Good read though, keep it up!

[Beaver808]

Thanks Mike, Too much High Stakes Poker on YouTube makes Beaver a jaded bluffer... won't be trying it again soon!!

Now this is a story
all about how my night
got twisted upside down
and id like to take a minute
just sit right there
ill tell you how i became the DYM player
Broke with an Over Pair


So we're in a little 6-Max DYM - raising a lot due to my good hands AK, A10 and AJ in the first 5 hands and then on I get the dreaded JJ...

Blinds are 25/50 no reads on anyone.
Seat 1 2000ish
Seat 2 1800ish
Next player is our Hero with the dreaded JJ 2450
Button 2000ish
SB 1550 ish
BB 2200ish

Folded to Moi, I Raise to 150, Button Calls, SB Calls and BB Folds

pot 500
Flop  

I bet 375 into 500

Button folds

SB calls

(1250)
Turn  

I bet 975 into the pot and the small blind shoves all in for an extra 400 or something

Has he really got a 4?? Maybe he's bluffing the flush draw.

Oh well, if he's got a 4 then gg wp and I should have folded. I call and he shows the absolute pre-flop nuts of  

Ah well, sigh should have folded but never mind...

THEN in the chat box comes...

"You play really badly Beaver, very poor you should have bet bigger on the flop..."

Well yes I agree but thanks for highlighting it.

"Thanks, I l love taking advice from people who call raises with their 94o"

I'm just saying you played it really weak and poor

I'm so glad these high-stakes mega-winning table-crushing pro's are so eager to give me advice - makes me feel really happy


I doubled up through him the next hand and then ended up busting with vs limp/called  


Do you know what? It's a good job I #lovethegame

So, we had my sister in-law (the hot one) staying this week. Her BF is a lovely chap and works for William Hill - figured he'd be gambling savvy but I was very wrong.

We were talking about the Manchester derby and he tells me he has £10 on Man U to win and £3 on 4-1 to Man City, fair enough. 90 minutes later he's back from the pub broke and comes to sit with me as I'm 4-tabling the micros at .02/.04 blinds...

[ ] high roller


Remember the plan to not play after drinking? Well I've stuck to it very well but it would appear some people just don't have my will-power - esp after losing a footy bet  

10 minutes later we've done 3 buy-in's and are down to the low £30's in the account - I would be upset about this but all 3 buy-ins were done to prove the point that he was wrong. "Fine, if you think you're right just click the all-in button and give me a fiver, if you win I'll give you a £10 back and you can keep the profit"

[ ] he was ahead on any of the 3 all-ins
[ ] he binked
[ ] he paid up


So tonight's schedule looks like this...

6pm - pick little boy up from Fun-Zone club
6-7pm - Crush at Skylanders and Mario Party 9 on the Wii
7pm - feed little boy
7pm-8pm - watch Kids Cartoons
8pm - put little boy to bed
8.45pm £400 SKY Bounty Hunter
8:45pm £2000 SKY Bounty Hunter
10pm - Possibly the Thews at 10 if we have any money left in the account at that point (doubtful)


On the plus side I scrapped my car for £160 so can either a) reload and grind properly or b) go play cash at one of the many Leeds casinos...

Can't make claims like 'hot sister in law' without photographic evidence, forum rules.

I'm on it... www.spycams.com hasn't responded to my emails but I'll update as soon as... )

[Beaver808]

We've ended up in the Thews at 10 and the £300 bounty hunter, will update as and when....

[Beaver808]

11 of 44 in the Thews at 10 after doubling through QQ vs AK - we held for a big chip boost.... YAY!!!

[Beaver808]

Nothing happening at all in the bounty hunter, very dull so far as far as HH are concerned - Blow up obv. immanent in Thews at 10

[Beaver808]

wow, just luckboxed  vs  aipf - board came 

[Beaver808]

Oh FFS - bust AK vs 55 - should have checked the river... we busted 16/80 having played solid all the way through bar the AK vs 77 hand and then had a rush of blood and f*cked it up... epic fail (

Will defo be playing this event again as it seems fairly soft

[Beaver808]

***UPSWING***

You may have noticed I haven't posted for a while, well here's why....






Now I just need to learn how to play whilst feeding him at 4am and I've cracked it!

[millidonk]

Congrats man, 4am doesn't sound too nice though.

[Marky147]

Congratulations, if he's good at sleeping already that's a bit of a touch. My brother was on the verge of a nervous breakdown the first 6 months with his little girl
