Saturday 6 September 2008

Rollercoaster days and Shane Warne nights.

Well today i lost a load straight away.. again, then got it back and some more... again.

It looks like a ride at Chesington!





Pacific emailed me asking if I wanted to go to a party with Shane Warne and play Cricket with him. I was all like mehhhh cos I don't really like Cricket much at all, then near the end it said free bar, and I do like bars. I'm not sure if I will go myself yet or just give the tickets to some mates who are Cricket fans.. I think I remember it being the 26th September which is my first week of uni, which may be another reason not to go, but I guess I'll just wait and see how it turns out.

I actually have some hilarious hands from todays session. Just wow. Like free money type hands.

He basically burned $668.75... His bet on the turn is bad, his bet on the river is pretty damn bad, then his call is horrific.

This player was a maniac, probably drunk, showing all his bluffs and all that kinda stuff, prob one of the funnest games of poker I have played in a while, people calling $1000 bets on the river with A high etc.

I would normally fold preflop, but as he raised I was in. Flop is great for me, and i wanna get all the money in. Turn was awesome. Check to him to induce a bluff, then shoved. Bet/calling 34 on that turn is up there with the worst plays i have ever seen. If a 5 had come on the river, I probably go ahead and jump out the window. But yeah, he was prob drunk or sth.

Obv my hand looks like nothing when I call then backraise him like that, but that's why i love that line so much. He prolly coulda picked a better hand than 85o too, i'm sure that has poor equity v my calling range....

Honestly there is too much wrong with his play to even bother going through it.



There were a few more, but some of them were against regs, and I feel like I shouldn't be posting stuff like that for all to read really. To be honest I won't be posting any of the really interesting spots, just cos poker is a game of information, and incomplete information, and giving away information costs money.
