Again I cannot stress enough how sh1t I am at blogging. I really do suck.
17 or 18 days since my last post. It’s been so long and so much crap has happened that it will take me an hour to write it all. Though due to the fact that I am so poor, I will probably make a half arsed attempt and stop at 10 minutes.
To start with we have the Betfair tournament. This has been one of the reasons that I haven’t posted for quite a while. I am so pissed off with what happened in this. I started off extremely well. Well by extremely well I mean my 5k stack went down to 2k, but I managed to build it up to 8k after outplaying some bloke who I thought was a fish (actually turned out to be Zpaceman! OPR him if you don’t know who he is). And my stack remained around the 8k mark all the way until about 3 and a half hours through. Now after 3 and a half hours, with an 8k stack you are normally fooked, but due to the large buy-in this was a deep-stacked 20 min blind level tournament. Meaning I was still on about 30BBs even this late into the tournament.
As time went on I started to get slightly outplayed by some of the pros and high stakes regs, meaning my stack dwindled down to around the starting stack. Putting me under some serious pressure from the blinds. Then I found 55 on the button. It folds all the way around to me so I thought i’d push. I’d either steal the blinds or be racing for that crucial double up I need to put me back on track. You can imagine how ecstatic I was when I was called by the big blind and he showed 44. The flop was beautifully high but not paired, the turn didn’t pair the board and was also high meaning I could only lose to a rivered 4. And well you can guess the rest. To say I was angry was an understatement, I went ape shit. Normally I wouldn’t care if I was playing one of my low stakes buy-in LOLdonkaments, but in a $535 buy-in tournament I was fucking furious! Anyhow that ncident resulted in a broken phone.
Rant over now and onto staked games. I have been staked loads since my last post. Probably too much judging by some comments on RTR (I may have to slow down a bit, lol) And have only lost for one backer. Firstly I was staked by SuffolkPunch to play 5 $4.40 180 manners on Stars. And I only cashed in my first game for a measly return, and for that I owe many apologies to Suffolk.
Then I was staked by VGJFelix in 10 $1.25 90 manners on FT, and made him a nice return, can’t remember exactly how much but I think I ended up with $8 in my account after re-paying the stake and sending him his half of the profits. Not too shabby for a few $1 games.
Thinking to myself I like these FT games I asked to be staked for 10 $3.30 KOs on FullTilt, and again made an awesome profit. Finishing in the top 3 twice I think. Leaving myself an extra $36 in my account after returning the original stake and half profits to my backer.
And I am currently in the middle of being staked for a massive 40 $2.20 180 man games on Stars by JonnyFish. I have played 15 so far I think and already taken 1 down, and finished 6th in another meaning we are already in profit, so I will be seeing some return on those.
As I said I think I have been taking too much of an advantage of the staking forums on RTR judgjing by some of the comments and will therefore slow down some there.
Onto life stuff. I aqquired a new dog in the time I was away, and grew to love it in it’s first few hours in the house. Named Minne it’s a rescue dog, and was mistreated in it’s previous home so needed much love. It was all going great, she had a lovely bubbly attitude and got on well with the other dogs in the first few days. But then on the 5th day she viciously attacked one of the other dogs. Meaning she had to go back. It’s strange she went so calm afterwards and tried to see if the other dog was OK, but it wasn’t worth putting my other 2 dogs at risk again so she had to go back. I spent the last night with her and she was asleep on my chest. I must say even though she was only here a few days there was a tear in my eye when she was taken back again. But good knews is one of my mates may be getting her, so I will still be able to see her on a regular basis, we will have to see how things go.
And now a comical element to the post. On sunday I took part in the Boston to Skegness seabank marathon. It is an annual event and this year was the 4th time I have taken part. Completing it in quite a good time in my 1st 3 attempts. This time everything was going fine agian and I was on course to beat my previous record. We got to 18 miles and the course runs past a farm, a farm in which cows are held. This meant that there were quite a few cow pats across the course. And me being the doofus I am accidently stood in one. Now this wouldn’t normally be a catastrophe, but this particular cow pat was positioned over a pot hole. Meaning when I stood on the cow pat my foot went straight through and my forward momentum made me fall forwards causing me to twist me ankle, menaing I could no longer continue with the race, lol.
Luckily all of my sponser’s agreed to pay up menaing my chosen charity will still get it’s money!
I am coming towards the end of the year at college meaning a sh1t load of work so I won’t have as much time for poker as I normally do for the next 6 weeks. But after that I have all the time in the world for poker for 6 weeks so it balances out!
Told you guys my attempt would only be half arsed, this took my 20 mins to write and I still have loads more to say, but iI cannot be arsed to write any more so that will have to be part of my next post. Where hopefully I will tell you that I took down 1 or 2 more of my staked games leaving me some nice $$$ to play with.
Catch you all later.
