Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (Newcastle Leg)

Just met up with Matt Dale (poker.co.uk), Michael Grecco(won Cardiff GUKPT) and Alex Ross(the banned one) at the grosvenor casino in NewcastleBoth are playing the main event which has a £1050 buy in and start tomorrow, Poker.co.uk have taken over sponsoring Lucy Rokach who starts her day 1 on friday. Good Luck all

Matt and Alex bought me into a super satellite with them for £100, so i just wanted to say thanks very much it was much appreciated and not expected!

Matt went out in 7th when he pushed all in pre-flop for around 2500 i called then a local pro went all in for his last 2800, i again called the extra 300Matt showed J5o for a miss timed bluffI had pocket Jacks , only one left to come Local pro picked up AA Nothing on the flop, nothing on the turn and an Ace on the river knocked Matt out and left me back to starting stack of 4000( had previously doubled with AA and 99 in consecutive hands Dealers changed and so did my luck, blinding away i pushed for my last 3000 with blinds at 600/1200 with 10s 6s, 1 caller, he had 88 He hit his 8 on the turn and it was good night vienna, i finished a credible 4th,
Alex followed shortly after in 3rd when his 89s was called by pocket 2's i think and they held up

Had a great night and met up with some pretty good mates, thanks again lads, see ya Soon

Viva Las Vegas!!!!!!

Well what can i say about Vegas that hasnt already been said a thousand times?

I flew to vegas on Sunday 1st July to play in a side event of the World Series of Poker with Virgin Atlantic (the best direct service for vegas from the UK) arriving at midday to a temperature of around 116f...madness, it was so hot i couldnt breathe for a few moments!

My WSOP experience lasted all of 4 hours which to me is bloody great as i was in the $1000 rebuy event, and i busted out when ahead pre-flop

I had 11k in chips and on the button, when i found myself with KK, 1 limper and i decided that with the rebuys being too expensive id play it aggressively and hope to take the blinds to avoid the inevative ace on the flop, i make my move and announce all in, BB calls, and so does the limper, who has me covered by a mile!

with two of us all in we all turn the cards over:

me: KK

BB: 10 10

limper: 8s9s

i had a big grin knowing i was ahead and no aces to worry about, til i see a flop of 5 6 7 rainbow.....destroying me in 1 foul swoop, no help on the turn and the ace comes on the river, and im out, gutted and tired, but with some great experience anyway.

Met up with Matt Dale of poker.co.uk fame, Jar Jar and Danarama, F-tipper and Michelle, Manbag and his missus, Dave Woods(pokerplayer editor) Hilly the Fish and a few others at the Playboy party at Hugh Heffners Villa at the palms, awesome evening and met a few star players, Mel Judah, Andreas Hoivuld, Simon "Aces" Trumper and partied the night away with the bunnies and the free booze haha!

Then the aftershow at Sapphires gentlemens club...well what can i say....i had my1st lapdance! wow! and then watched as pissed up celebs made fools of themselves over and over again, with Dave Woods brother Nick the star of the show doing breakdancing for us. Wicked time as usual and great seeing you all again!

Poker Utd again

Had a great evening when finishing 2nd to my good mate Dave aka Col U Fc in the sunday freeroll. This is a great little tournament which usually attracts around 40-50 players, with $200 in prizes shared by top 10 its an easy way to build your bankroll.

The banter is awesome with us all knowing each other by now and all just having fun! Thats what its all about isnt it?

Paradise poker(boss) New world fast track

This tournament costs $25+$2.50 to enter and usually attracts around 20 entrants which to me is crazy with an added seat to the grand final where the winner will walk away with $100,000!

Im gutted cos i was ahead in chips when i played this one, even having him all in 3 times when i was ahead only to lose a coin flip each time, c'est la vie!

7pm on a saturday evening, if you have nothing better to do, come along and say hello!

Virgin Cheapskates

The virgin cheapskates is a great little tourney for those of us who like to let our hair down and go mental over 10c rebuys haha, i bubbled in the 1st ever game 2 weeks ago and this week i managed a win, with only 1 rebuy

You know those days where every bet/bluff/dodgy play you make hits the flop and you annoy other players....well today was my day!

Come along and try your luck on a monday, its on at 8.15pm and its good for a laugh, good banter and a decent 1st prize for next to no outlay

Stepping up to a higher level

Ive been thinking about this for a while now after getting sick of being knocked out by bad players in the lower levels, and so far my attempts have been a sucess, i even ventured into a $50 stt which is double my previous maximum stake.

I won! FFS this is easy haha ill keep the updates coming with some more results soon!
