The Trials and Tribulations of a Poker Loving Yorkshireman

Is Sheffield even Yorkshire, I mean really?

I had double check, but this article confirmed it

Sheffield Wednesday 6 Leeds United 0 match report: Owls smash Yorkshire rivals for six to continue rise up the Championship table

Ha, not really a football fan but was invited into a Sheff Wed box for that game and took a couple of Leeds fans with me. Could have been 10 in the end as Wednesday hit the woodwork a couple of times and could have had plenty more.

Blog number 134 Matthew? One of the originals and one of the best for sure.

Finally Matt, took your time ffs. Vegas this year?

As for the hand, I think I jam it in his eye then bink a A88 flop.

Do you like Rugby League? I used to live in Leeds and went to watch it a few times. I just didn't understand the appeal at all!

I was born in  rugby town (Bramley) and have lived in Hunslet and Dewsbury, also places where rugby league is dominant. I've just never enjoyed it and was always into football instead. I was really quiet and shy (and super skinny) as a kid so rugby league scared me to death!

It's at least that. This one should be good fun though. You need to blog more sir, you seem to be more mincey since getting a bird

Finally Matt, took your time ffs. Vegas this year?

As for the hand, I think I jam it in his eye then bink a A88 flop.

Not sure about Vegas. I did 5.5 weeks for PokerNews last year and it was a tough slog. If I manage to bink a seat to something or have a good few months I may head out for 7-14 days. Would love to play a WSOP donkament, maybe if I win the UKPC Main this week I will play a few -- we can live in hope!

18.5% roi in 180s long term is good, not that many good regs over 20% these days (in b4 a Tomsom chirp).

GLGL with the grind.

Last three days have been LOLtastic and I know you're all jealous of my minus 72.05% ROI. I could fall head first into a bath full of tits and come out sucking my thumb at the minute, poker's not fun when the Gods (amen) are against you.

Blah blah suckout/resuckout blah blah f**k this game blah blah sample size.

Thinking of forgetting about scheduled MTTs for tonight and just blasting out a ton of $2 and $8 180-man games, anywhere in the region of 50-100 to see if this pleases the Poker Gods.

Non-favourite hand of the past couple of nights (I wouldn't mind but the little twat didn't even cash after bagging this massive pot).

Yorkshire Pud and Would Be were my first port of call once plotted up at the PC for the day.

You even got a look in, when you weren't regaling us tales of ginge's wank socks...

Pretty rough session and by rough I mean badger's arse kind of rough.

Was aiming to play 100 of the 180-man turbos, mixing $2.50s and $8s, but I gave up after 51 because I wanted to punch a baby in its milky face. Logged off, sulked and went to bed. Meh.

I'm passed moaning about it, instead I'm knuckling down and going to fire a few of these bad boys up and grind through the variance. I KNOW that I am playing well, it's just someone forgot to tell the Stars RNG about it!

Here's a quick hand to show how things are at the mo, I mean how the fook does the SB wake up with the bullets here; Lick my balls Stars! Win this and I am sure I bink the bitch.

Busted 91st in the Sky Poker UK Poker Championship Main Event with 81 places paid, was so wanting my first Hendon Mob flag -- wanted it more than the monies! Here's the cliffs:

• Played Day 1b
• Had Anton Wigg to my right all day, Richard Milner (GPS Stoke champ) to my left and Steve Watts to his left. Zimnan Ziyard joined to my right and when he busted he was replaced with Ludovic Geilich!
• Somehow ended with c.34k
• Day 2 had Barny Boatman to my right -- bloke's a true legend
• Doubled through Barny with 77 vs AQ
• Won a big pot with TT vs AJ
• Won another decent pot with TT
• Lost a decent sized pot with AhQh when I opened from the button and called a three-bet from the BB. BB leads queen-high flop, I call. Turn completes a flush, he bets again and I call. River is a blank, he asks how many chips I have (85k) and he bets 36k which is more than pot. I tank fold and he shows KK.
• Next hand after the one above, I open CO with JJ and BB jams all-in for like 60k! Says "I think you're on tilt." I call and he shows AJ with the ace of hearts. Board fucking four-flushes and I'm left with 10 bigs.
• Manage to get a few 3b shoves through and am sat with 25bb
• Drop to 10-15bb as bubble approaches
• Habitual limper woman limps UTG, Bulgarian guy who has isolated her everytime isolates as per and I 3b jam 12bb with pocket sevens. Limpers sigh folds, Bulgarian checks his cards -- I think he may have a KQ / AT type hand when he does this -- and calls with KK! Not even a sweat from board, FU.
• Hung around DTD for a bit drinking cider
• Went back to hotel around 730am!
• Got kicked out of room at 1:10pm as check out was 12:00pm
• Some how made it home without dying
• Slept from 5:00pm until 7:00am

Learned so much this weekend that you wouldn't believe. Made a few mistakes, but I am aware of them. Also managed to hold my own on a difficult starting table on Day 1b. Had the JJ vs AJ hand gone my way, I would have sailed through the bubble and beyond. Such is life.

Going to bink something online to make up for it!
