So the poker tourney is finally done.It was quite hard for us to keep playin as we where all busy but we played a session tuesday nite and then yesterday afternoon.So hears sum of my memorable hands.Pollock raised me 400 on the 1st nite of tourney with pocket jacks,i had pocket kings i re raised him all in and i was lower on chips but he thought he had me beat but thought that i wud catch something and he folded.It was actually a really good laydown-nice 1 Pollock!The next session i moved up like 600 right away.I got in a big pot with Murray and won the hand.Then i bullfed Pollock off a big pot.It was down to the river and i had pair of threes and he checks and i put out big bet.I mucked lol but he showed his pair of tens wen he folded so i won a big pot off him with a bluff that was a big turnin point in the tourney.So the tuesday ther session 3 was about an hour and a half session.A ,ot of small pots that night but a few very big pots.I raise on the button with 10 4 off suit and Pollock folds and Murray calls.Him first to bet so he bets and i raise.The flop was J 6 8 and i was tellin him he has me beat,which was true but i was gettin in his head he called me.So the turn came another 6 and he bets like 300 and i ask him would he show if i called.he says yes but i thought i am goin to call to put doubt in his mind.I actually did put him on the 6 at this point.My card came on the river a ten but i still thought i was beat so he checks i bet and he calls,i won the hand.That was luck for me he had pocket sevens but i stayed in the hand too long but i had a weird feeling about.Ohh well won the hand lol.So that put me up to over 3000 in chips.Pollock was really down at end of session and the flop comes Q 7 7 we are all still in murray to be first.He bets 600 i fold i had nothin so this would be enough to put Pollock all in he takes his time and calls,Murray flips his queen 7 for a full house,Pollock has king 6 with a diamond draw but needs two kings on turn and river.The turn comes a king but the river comes 4 of clubs so Murray puts Pollock out.So the final day me and Murray heads up for 1st place.Murrays being improving his game lately.He's become a good bit better so i knew he would be coming for a win here.I had 3330 to start off with and he had 1170 so i had to push at him quite a lot which i did.I used the big stack to my advanatage i stole the blinds a lot and got him down to 500 wen the final hand of tourney happened.Murray calls i push all in with pocket threes i felt i had him beat before flop but when he called i thought must be ace king ace queen but he turned over queen seven off suit.He was going down a lot so he just thought he could catch something against me.the flop comes 4 10 7-he had caught his seven i had a feeling that would happen but the turn came 3 for my set and river was blank, i won the tourney after 3 and half weeks of play.Am happy about that.Pollock just started playing so was always going to be hard for him to begin with but he survived the first two sessions and nearly all the way through third and Murray had played well too but he got unlucky against me in two hands which gave me the win.I enjyed playing it and some of the hands where really interesting.
Was watchin Champions league Final last night.Not a good final Barca controlled the game fairly comfortable and Man U didn't seem much of a threat,they had a bad game.Two nice goals by Eto and Messi sealed the deal.Unlucky Man U.
the poker online being going good.Am in 59th positon the now.Top 100 get paid and end of month.I have 61 points so 95% sure am safe for at least $5.Hoping to get another final table to get $10.I was actually just trying to break into 100 i was just below.The other night i had a feeling i would get to final table which i really needed,well at least a cash but i just relaxed and let the cards come.I was down to begin with but then i gained a big chip stack and was 2nd with chips the time the bubble burst and then moved up and down from ther and managed to hang on to the final table and from the ther i played well coming 2nd.The guy who won had 380,000 i only had around 60,000 so needed to push a lot which i got it up to 100,000 but the guy caught his ace and queen for two pair over my pocket nines.I wanted 1st place but was going to always be difficult considerin his chip stack.This is my last month in the regional as it takes up too much time and the structure and time its on is pretty bad but i might go back to it in a few months time you never know!There's also a new uk promotion oncalled the Becker Battleship which is satalittes to three weekly finals where the winner playes Boris Becker in a live game and wins Tennis tickets.So i have 3 weeks to make some final tables.There's also cash prizes.I'm liking this bonus it reminds me of the Ept qualifiers apart from the Ept was a bigger promotion but the structure and satalittes are very similar so should be good playing that.
Pro evo is having a few online tourneys which i will be playing in next month.Ther just to get my points up i'm playing in them and also caus i can get a poster that Messi signed thats the prize which is quite a good 1.So i need to start training for it soon.
Apart from that just being out sometimes and watchin The inbetweeners series 1 which is very good and a new show called the streets which is really interesting me.
I am away to Costa Brava in 30th June for a week.Looking forward to that not been abroad in nearly 3 years.That should be FUN
