Vegas Birthday Trip

Monster Park, 49ers vs Seahawks



mcfc, uber, f-tipper and morls

Went to Vegas again on Nov 17th for a gambling birthday with a few people from the punters lounge forum, mcfc, ubermonkey, f-tipper, and 2 of tippers mates,

Friday was spent travelling and meeting up with people on cheap flights(mcfc) and taking in the awe of Vegas, if you've never been, your missing out on a treat

Saturday was a wicked day, in the morning we played the Imperial Palace 9am $65 mtt, i finished 11th and mcfc 10th in a tourney full of pissed yanks or knackered brits, so with no money being won, we went for a game of golf at the calloway golf centre, none of us had played for ages but hey, it was a good laugh and new tiger woods were born! Later that evening we went to the boxing at the Thomas and Mack centre, Manny Pacquiao vs Erik Morales, the 3rd fight in the series, Manny was like a man possessed and proceded to destroy Morales awesome atmosphere with 22k mexican and 2k philipino fans in the crowd......1 fight on the undercard saw a boxer take 5 consecutive punches to the nuts, and he still got up to fight, until the other guy was disqualified after the 5th lol

Sunday myself and uber had a trip to San Fransisco to see the mighty 49ers in action against the Seattle Seahawks, who were massive favourites to win the game, unbeleiveably the 9ers pulled it off and won 20-14 with a man of the match performance from Frank Gore.

Mon-Tues-Wed....full of poker, shopping and spotting celebs in the high stakes poker rooms, where uber and mcfc managed to cash in a few tournies, i was off form, but i came with money i knew i could afford to lose, so was in no way disheartened, til my str8 on the turn was busted by a FH on the river....damn yanks.

Great time was had by all and i cant wait for next year! WSOP2007 whoooop

Apat Newcastle at Aspers

105th out of 210

hand that crippled me was

blinds 300/600 and i had 20k in chips

me AK (spades) on my BB, and i only checked when 2 callers

flop 5d 10c Kd

i bet 3k into a 2100 pot to take it down
1 fold
sb raises to 6k

(im thinking he has a pair with a flush draw possibly) so its either fold or raise again

i raised my stack all in and he instantly calls

turns over 5 10

hits his 5 on the turn

my ace comes on the river

take me to 2.5k in chips, bad play by not raising pre-flop anyway

next hand i get A7 and go all in, flop 77Q, Turn A, River 7 Quad 7's niceeeee and trebble up

1 hr later i get 88 on my bb and have my 7k left, i push all in to 2 limpers, both call all in and one has AA the other QQ, adios morls!

Interview for Poker Player Magazine

This morning i woke to the sound of the postman delivering the September 2006 copy of Poker Player Magazine.

After the Ibiza Trip in July, i gave an interview to Rick Dacey, News Editor and sent some pictures for him to use, and to my great pleasure, im now on page 24 in a bikini having my nipple licked by a model haha oh the memories, also, my diary of the weekend was published, which basically reads, got up, drank beer, played poker, drank beer, went to bed.....for 3 days.....

Shame as yet i received nothing off poker player for the time and effort and the numerous pics they used.....

Streak Continues!

On Sat 30th i finished 2nd in the Boss Media $6+1 MTT to win $336!

Punterslounge.com Best Poker Player

Tonight i became the 1st ever Best Poker Player on punterslounge.com

the competition is based on a 28 day rolling score system, where your best 5 scores count, each day there is a focus game, where the points are collected.

as this is based on a rolling 28 day score, its gonna be impossible to maintain for a long period of time, but to be the 1st BPP is a great feeling for me as punterslounge has such a great array of talented poker players!

Virgin Vpoints Freeroll

Last night i played in the Virgin Vpoints Freeroll and won!

I was up and down like a yo yo last night until we ended up with 20 people left, i was lowest chipstack on my table and ended up taking 3 of the big guys out to leave me huge chip leader on the final table

4 punterslounge.com players also made the money and well done to them

my prize was 30k vpoints which transfers into cash as £300 or $580!

IBIZA,,,,,,WOW!

Just got back from ibiza.....wow!! many thanks to goal poker for the holiday and to all the amazing people and models i met whilst there!

Cant wait for next year!

Scottish Poker Open

Hi all, been a while since i updated as usual but here we go!

This past weekend i vistited Edinburgh to watch my good friend Pernille aka Penelopeys in the Scottish Poker Champs

Pene was chip leader for the 1st 90mins until she hit a bad beat when her pocket aces were busted by Q6 hearts, she made a 4x BB raise and he called (muppett!!!) then the inevitable happened, 3 hearts on the flop including her ace.....she hits trips, and raises 10x BB, only to hear the words all in!!

With the majority of her stack on the table the other guy beat her and left her with only 8k of the 38k she had before hand. Unfortunately she never recovered and went out soon after with pocket 9's

Happier news tho, she has just accepted an offer of marriage off her boyfriend and my mate Paul Ross owner of Punterslounge.com

Many Congrats guys, i hope you have the best of life and get all you dream for!

Goal Poker and Punters Lounge wins

Just before my holiday, we had a Punterslounge.com meetup in Leeds for 2 days and then onto Newcastle for the 3rd

I managed to come joint 1st in the poker game in leeds on the friday night for £100 each as it was 3.40am and we had been drinking all day lmao! It was best for us to share the win and go all in every hand after to sort a winner out that way, i lost the all in challenge to a new mate Aliando, who is mental i might add! but hilarious and a great bloke.

In the Newcastle poker tournament we had an added incentive to win, a place in the Champion of Champions game on Goal Poker which has a buy in of $660. In this tournament there are 2 World Series of Poker Main Event seats worth $10k and $5k worth of hotel and travel expenses included. Its also limited to 50 seats!!! so thata a 1 in 25 chance of playing in the richest, biggest poker tournament in the world!

Well for a 2nd night in a row, i had been drunk, and played for 7hours in a row after only 3 hrs sleep in 3 days, which is bad enough in its own right, but to have to concentrate and play poker against great players is another thing. Well it all came good for me and i managed to sneek a win when the blinds got so high it was more of an all in fest than proper poker, this landed me another £100 and a place in the champions of champions final at the end of June. Wish me Luck!!!!!

Im Back and ready to update!

Just got back from Kenya 10 days ago and im back playing poker

Had a bit of luck on the Virgin V Points freeroll on Thursday and finished 10th for a prize of 3125 vpoints, which equates to £32 roughly, or just have them as air miles, which is what ive done

Hopefully have some more poker news for ya soon!

40 PLAYERS
2500 STARTING STACKS
20 MIN BLINDS

1st hand i received QQ on the Big Blind.....often my nemesis, which it also proved tonight, i slow played it as everyone but the small blind called,

Flop came 9 5 3

bets of 500 each

Turn came J

bets of 500 each

River came 2

bets of 500 each.......

We both turn our cards and he shows his 2 pair 9's and 2's

GUTTING, 1ST HAND AND IM DOWN TO 950!

Well i recovered well and eventually finished 8th after 3 hours of play and numerous free vodkas which didnt help my play, but settled my nerves haha

I knocked out 4 people on the way to 8th and received $10 for each so $40 wasnt too bad, as it was winner takes all!
