Sold out for £100

Sold out for £100

Anyone remember we won a share in a racehorse on Ladbrokes called Laddies Poker Two.
4 way split between certain members of the then Teamdobbs was agreed and it was voted by shareholders late 2008 that the horse be sold.
I knew this but didnt say anything and late in January as shown in letter received by Ladbrokes the payout was made to members. It appears that the person whose account this share was won on decided that despite agreeing to a 4 way equal split, for whatever reason only known to him he was excluding me from this and making it a £225 £225 and £100 split to the other 3.
He even was sat next to me a few weeks ago in a poker game after not seeing him for ages pattering on nicey nicey yet earlier that evening had text others involved of his decision and split of funds. He didnt even have the bollocks to tell me, I wonder why???
Hes just been on MSN to me filling me full of shit about other stuff and soon as I start to talk about this horse subject he goes into "BUSY" hide mode and offline.

Well fuck you James Lewis name and shame time and dont ever talk to me again you tossa

This is him with the black n white scarf on to right hand side of Mike Ashley


Thanks for info to the genuine guys I know

Chicken shit poker player

Chicken shit poker player

Wow 2 posts in 24hrs just like buses

okay well i wasnt going to play for a few days but after noticing that Ladbrokes poker had a $10 freezeout on with $10,000 added there was no way i could miss that value so settled down at 7pm lacking in confidence but knowing luck changes eventually and tonights the night!
I win a couple of small pots and then 10 minutes in i pick up KK and raise it up to 120 blinds 15/30 i get 3 callers and then another player pushes for 1600! so i push hoping for heads up but get 1 other caller,on your backs reraiser has A2 sooted and other caller has 88
flop 567.....sigh,turn 2 and river..............9 crippled and down to 300 i push my last next hand with Ak get called by JQ and flop brings QQ so i lasted 12 minutes hehehehe brilliant!

Now not to be defeated i decide to head up to Aspers for there £10,10,10 as well i cant play for 12 minutes and then knock it on the head and like i said my luck is going to change i cant fail now its destiny,so i play really tight and play 3 hands before break all uncontested and have 10.5k at break with average of 6.5k
Amazing hand as a player raises and bets A high flop and shoves on turn only to be called by guy holding QQ and deservedly hits the Q on river to send a somewhat dissapointed player holding an A to the rail!
the very next hand i get AQ and same guy calls and after missing J high flop and checking down to river(i wasnt going to bluff this guy for obvious reasons) i show my A high and he shows AJ very well played sir?
Very next hand i pick up KsKd and raise to 800 blinds 100/200 2 callers and a flop of j73 all clubs so i bet out 1500 1st caller raises and other caller goes all in so i move out of the way 1st player has j7off and other has 45 of clubs :) beautiful absolutely beautiful great news tho as the table is split 3 minutes later.
New table and i get a few back and reraise a maniac with AK i need to double up and am getting bored he insta calls with AJ and shock horror i win a race am up to 20+ now and starting to feel like this could be on i then limp with A7 of clubs and flop AA10 2 diamonds i put out a weak bet and get stared down by Darren Laverick so i look nervous and avoid eye contact and he calls no diamond on turn and he checks so put a bet just short of pot size as i dont want the golden child hitting flush on me and he folds but calls me "A CHICKEN SHIT POKER PLAYER!!" hahahaha priceless i nearly peed myself its always nice when a successfull poker player encourages mere mortals at the table cheers Daz i am going to put you forward for a Looseman award 'Most miserable git in Newcastle Poker'
Anyhow he cant upset me as i am on my way to a well deserved victory at last down to 16 and blinds 500/1000 i pick up 2 red Kings utg so i make it 3k player in mid pos reraises to 5300 and he is all in and another player also calls so i smooth call as i have not won with them for a while flop Q97 all hearts :) i move my last in and after much soul searching the other player folds and i confidently say 1 pair with a flush draw :) er other player has 2 black Aces :( but my luck has changed so i know the heart is coming,hoorah ah shit its a diamond no probs just lost 5k still comfy
very next hand JJ in BB mr Aces makes it 5k to go and says its not quite as good as last time so am thinking poo QQ and i feel quite happy when a K hits the flop so push half my stack in middle to let him know i have him beat but after an age he moves all in and i have to fold and he shows me KQ likes its a royal flush! after that i just wait till 7k left limp utg 1400 next player to act pushes for 5k but a big stack at other end of table moves all in i am pretty much sure he has big slick and am pretty peed off after losing a good position to be nearly out so i call 1st raiser has K10 sooted and big stack indeed has big slick the guy next to me shows a K so please uno timo sil vous plait
FLOP AK2...sigh and thats it another crap night on the felt the money was not that good but its a tad gutting when you can see people losing 30k with q5 against kq and u can see they dont like chips its like there allergic to having them and they have to get rid of them or something bad will happen,well something bad did happen to one of my neighbours cats!

sorry for boring details but i feel it was necessary this time but i just cant help feeling if i hadnt been chicken shit i may have got a few more chips of Darren and it may have been a different story,CLUCKCLUCKCLUCK!

Tuesday night at Circus

Tuesday night at Circus

Alright peoples its been a while since i posted anything but i have been having serious motivational problems as i have been finding poker is really boring me lately and instead of looking forward to it i am having to force myself to go.
So anyways i normally play for a snooker team on a tuesday and if i am playing poker i play first and then head off but tonight when i went(real hassle to get my cue and head back over to the club) i get told if i am not staying till the end then i cant play so more hassle as i head back to other club to drop off my cue and foot down to the circus where its a £30 d/chance freezeout 7k with an additional 1k if you are there at the start.
Now for the past few weeks i have decided to gamble with my first lot and then tighten up with the 2nd lot but after going out early in every 1 i decide to play tight aggressive from the start,now i wont bore you with the details but i only played 2 hands before the break 1 which i won uncontested and the other where i showed down quad Queens so i would like to think my table image was pretty well set.....and in most cases it would but alas to my left is the well known moaning lady player whose name i cant remember who got all her chips by pushing her last lot 3.5k all in to a pot of 600 with A9 off on a board off q92 2 spades and being called by A2spades and q 10 and spiking the A on turn and it was a good 15 minutes before she stopped ranting nonesense still tilting because her QQ got beat by KK when after a raise,reraise,reraise and a flopped A all the money still went in all tho i think the wine did help(the drink not the moan)
3(conservative estimate) large wines later and i wake up with AA utg blinds 200/400 so i pop it up to 800 just letting everybody know its a monster because i really really dont want action but Christine(ooops) reraises to 3k and everybody else gets out the way so i smooth call and check the lovely flop of 1055,Christine pushes i call my last 8k and she flips her JJ now under normal circumstances i am reaaly happy that i am about to double up but and i know everybody gets them and there part of the game but so far in 2009 i have had so many bad beats that i dont feel comfortable with 80/20's and i positively pap myself with 70/30's so anyways the valet just happens to turn up and goes to give me my drink but i say dont bother am going home barely finishing the sentence and the J hits the river and to be perfectly honest i really was expecting it and it didnt help that the last time i was on Mrs. Mcdonalds table she said that all taxi drivers were thick so for all the religious out there dont wait to long on god answering your prayers!

Good luck at the tables and am sure i will see you all at the team game at Grosvenor

Calm down, Calm down, calm down!!!!

Calm down, Calm down, calm down!!!!

Make the trip down to for the 10KingsPoker Festival Main Event with S2C and Can Only get Better at Stanley Circus Casino, Queens Square Liverpool.
Valet parking woooooo very posh and a nice looking modern casino following same design as a few other Circus venues Ive played in. Had some good results in Circus Casinos and to be honest I felt like I was ganna get a good result here as well.
Noticed a few well known faces as the place started filling up and game got underway with around 110 runners. Get nice table and very happy with table position plus Ive got Terry Nelson to my right who proved to be a right character and we had a really good laugh with each other.
Alot of ABC stuff in general and trappy plays by some but move through early levels with no damage and slowly build my stack although involved in a couple of hands I could of lost alot of chips with but get away light from.
2 main hands involved flopping top set Queens and then 3 way pot I re raise at turn when holding up & down straight draw and flush draw with 9s7s which completes when 6 arrives at river and get nicely paid.
End day 1 on 34k and better than most so hope for just as good a table on day 2 which I get and Im actually probably 3rd best in chips on it and have well stacked Norwegian lad 2 to my left. Table is fast n furious early doors with small stacks looking for a quick double up and we lose Can only Get Better doing just this on our table. Hands were few n far between until constant raising Norwegian raise UTG to my BB and late postion shoves in for 33k and I find QQ in BB which I shove in with and Norwegian lad makes up the 3 way pot. Ks10s for him and 8s9s for other lad see flop of 6s7s3d and turn and river miss for nice 100K pot to me and very comfy now. Expected to kick on now but then suffered horror 2 levels of rubbish which dragged me back into low stack target area and facing constant raises as expected to my blinds which i found virtually impossible to defend. Eventually when down to 12BBs I call Norwegians raise holding A7 putting him mid pair KQ hands and born also from alot of pure frustration so when AKrag flop comes Im very sure Im in front and shove in and eventually after chip count n tanking which made me more sure of his hand he calls flipping AJ and no help with me going out in 20th place just short of the 14th pay slot. Very rare I get annoyed at tournie exits but felt total shit with myself at this one and made swift exit from place.
Overall enjoyed the game and met some real characters but also some pure arseholes whose behaviour at the tables was nothing short of disgraceful in my opinion. They seem to think the world revolves around them and them only and fuck all the rest.
Mentions to 3 who made final table and hope to play with again were Terry Nelson who I enjoyed alot of banter with and obviously a well known Liverpool character, Jimmy Morgan another obvious Liverpool character and huge guy who made alot of pots very interesting and funny with his antics and behaviour and Zach Ford who I was most impressed with when moved to our table and a real gentleman to go with some excellent poker.

On returning I see the NPF Friday league got off to a tremendous start and special thanks must go to Cardguard Kid who put so much effort into making the 1st game so enjoyable for so many with his banter and coverage.

NPF FRIDAY LEAGUE SELLS OUT THE GROSVENOR CARD ROOM

NPF FRIDAY LEAGUE SELLS OUT THE GROSVENOR CARD ROOM

last night saw the first npf friday league game at the grosvenor. general feeling amongst most was would be well attended but not full. well fuck me 110 entrants plus 7 alternates who all got in made for a great night with a 3k pot. Dc and scotty where away flying the flag in liverpool so dc asked me if i would go along and oversea things and make sure everything was run ok. gotta say no fears on that score the staff at the G did a great job. plenty of rivalry from the members who are in the teams for the forum team event and got to say the radgies faired worst of all losing 4 of the 5 representatives they ha before the break(to be expected). vegas did the dobbas proud just falling short of the last 2 tables exiting in 21st. was a great night and for me personally a welcome break from the bad beats i have been getting. gotta say i enjoyed myself just as much last night as if i was playing and if its ok with DC i would like to perform the same duties every week of the league. one point my wife dawn made the final table and finished 6th and but for 2 poor calls from someone who got lucky she would have been part of the split. she made a world class call with king high with 40 players left and also made 2 great laydowns of big pairs. pains me to say this but she has only been playing properly for just over a year and if he rate of improvement continues she will becoming an extremly good player and i will be urging her to play some of the bigger tournies. i am very proud of her and also a little sick to now officially be the 2nd best player in my house called wills. full details, pictures and video highlights now on forum and roll on next week cant wait

Win when ya lose

Win when ya lose

Ive already got alot of live poker planned and pencilled into the diary and looking forward to the future months because of this.
The weekend featured the Tyne/Wear derby and considering the fears of alot of die hard Geordies it appears the Makems are as bad as we say when despite being gifted a 1-0 lead a stone cold blatant nailed on penalty let us back into the game and England star of the future Shola Amoebi found the top corner with a precise placed finish and hey ho we cruise to a fully deserved 1-1 draw and even should have won it. (did that sound right?) Club is in a total shambles and hope we can survive the season and maybe, yes maybe some sense will be shown and a total rebuild programme put into place. Guy from forum put this post up which I find very interesting and maybe the masterplan for the future NUFC Savour Blueprint
Poker featured the new monthly £100 Double Chance Freezeout at Aspers with a brilliant structure that runs over Saturday and Sunday ( well for some)
Very interesting in the last time they put this game on it attracted the heady heights of 23 runners, this time with the forums help and them actually using it to publicise the game and inform players it attracted a respectable 73 runners. Im sure the next one will pass the 100 mark.
Was a total no go game for me personally which breaks down as follows. Last about 5 hours with grand total of 3 pocket pairs during this time and AK once and AQ once. Never hit or would of hit a flop and have 4 tables in total and on 3 of them Im drawn in the dealer seat. Theres an old saying though "More than one way to skin a cat" and I prove that correct in a nice move.
Young lad on the forum who I rate very highly had been having a tough time at the tables lately and as such put a post up. This resulted in the normal flood of replies of advice which was nice to see and most of it Im sure we have all been through. I told him to maybe have a pop at a higher buy in game which would hopefully help him focus and be motivated more for and also should be against a better quality of player than what hes been facing in the normal £20 fast structure of local casino games. I offered as such if he wanted, to have a part stake in him and during the week received a message from him to take up my offer for the Aspers £100 game. Took a 50/50 in him and he duly obliged making it to a 5 way chop with chip leader taking a £1500 pay day and he collected a nice £1000. Well played Spoona and dont doubt ya ability in future mate, cya Tuesday for me dosh 0:)
Met up with Peter Newton (Elephant towel pic from prev post)who I got to know at the CPC and had a few beers and a good laugh with after we both got knocked out about the same time.
Tuesday sees the 1st of the Month £500 added at Stanley Circus then its off to Liverpool Circus for the festival thats being run by 10Kingspoker.
Short and sweet cos its throwing a snow storm and I need to go and find a shovel to dig the car out. Laters
