Gossip Girl
Not a lot of people in the uk watch this show as it has only started to show over here lately.It is a really great show, mostly aimed for teens to watch.It has about 6 main characters in the story along with all the side characters.It has Leighton Meester who is probably the best actress in the tv show but all of them are really good.It is opposite from shows like Eastenders and such.They are mostly wealthy kids from Manhattan who have all the problems like this guy cheated on that girl and a guys dad was doing drugs.Their is 3 seasons, i am currently nearing the end of the 2nd.I watched a few episodes the other day borrowing my sisters dvd's lol.Loved it !
Been watching wsope videos and high stakes poker.They have been great, Gabe Kaplan and Kara Scott host hsp.I like this new song which Timbaland does with Katy Perry 'If We Ever Meet Again'.I played Saints Row 2 yesterday and today with the guys from America and Canada, i was suprised that the amount of girls who play it and are actually good, i thought it was just a guys game, btw for the record i suck.Okay enough said i guess.

A Blog On Poker
So poker has being going okay recently, this month as a whole has been decent, had a good run and bad run.At start of the month i was really up in the cash games mostly on Betfair i was playing but then i hit a few bad beats on the river to have a few losing sessions.I had 5 losing sessions in a row and these had been in the first in a month and a half.I had 3 river bad beats and the other 2 sessions i just did not pick up a hand so basically was a little under my buy in on them.Over the weekend i have played a few and have had a few winning sessions again.
Last night cash game was really good, i was going to playing for 2.5 hours so i bought in for my usual max buy in $20 at $0.10/0.20 stakes on Betfair.I was down a bit at first as i had pockets queens and guy had trips, thankfully i did not lose too much and soon after caught a straightto get me up to $25.SO at the table we had a loose aggressive players, he wasn't that good but he was running really really good, then we had to 2 solid guys at the table, then a tight player and then a fish.I actually go into conversation with the fish, he was quite poor not the worst fish i have seen.I had a nut flush draw on flop and he pushed so i called and caught flush on river, he said 'your a joke' but he was joking around i mean he had top pair and on that board it was an obvious call, but he was more of a sports betting guy so we where just discussing that before he lost his rebuy and left the table.So a guy came in who was quite a poor player, he got too caught up in top pairs and stuff.So i was now up $15 which was okay for 2 hours, but the last half an hour was amazing.A girl came to the table, she bought in for $7 so i already thought sweet, she was on tilt a little too she re raised a lot and people folded.So she re raised me and i just put her on crap tbh so i thought i was slightly ahead and i reraised her all in she called with k 7 and i had pockets twos.We both caught a diamond flush on the turn with hers being a 7 i had double her up.I said to myself i will get that back very soon off her.And that is exactly what i done.I wasn't out to get it back quickly i just knew the way she was playing i had a great chance, i am glad i called that hand as jmy read was correct and it helped me know what she would push with.So not long later she raises and i re raise her with AK, i knew i had her beat she pushed i called, she had AJ so i was in great shape to take all her money at the table.The ace arrived so we both ahd top pair with my kicker being better, she rebought i was really glad that happened, the other quite poor player lost a handso he rebought also but i did not get into many hands with him.But right after the girl rebought im, i had AK suited, she min raises the guy to my right re calls, i re raises to $2 and they both call, the flop comes A 6 K with 2 hearts on board, so i had two pair but the flush draw was out there for someone so i had to make a move fast i put out a bet, the girl re raises, the other guy folds, i push all in and she calls, she had 8 A, the turn comes J and river another J so i won all her money again, she rebought for $20 the max buy also, she then rebought for another $20 and really on tilt this time, some other got the best of her and he was up to $81, i had just left with $61.20, a profit of $40.20, i won nearly all my money coming from that girl on tilt.I was happy with the table i was on as me and the other 2 good players we just kept out of each others way most of time unless we both had a hand and we played.The loose aggressive guy got caught out a few times, he was up to $51 and thne back down to $15 and then away up again, he was running good but he won most of his chips earlier, i got a little off him but we didn't get into a big hand all night.A nice little profit there
I played my dad heads up on saturday there, he doesn't have the mathematical skill and knowledge to understand pot odds and implied pot odds but he mixes it up really well and is hard to read.is problem he has though is he finds it hard to fold top pairs and sometimes middle pairs, it was a good game, i won when i hit trip kings and he bluffed all in.
Been watching wsope which has been enjoyable.I think the whole Hellmuth entrances are great for the game and it should be encouraged.After all poker is a sport imo.Also been watching a few online games on Full Tilt.Now this Isildur guy btw folks is playing on Betfair trying to work his way back up after losing like 4-5 mil, he was beating everyones ass as well but we all knew it was going to happen sooner or later, he was playing above his bankroll which is just stupid.When people who start to get serious about the game they play abover their bankroll go broke and then quickly realize, i have went broke twice like 2 years ago and then went out and bought books and quickly learned bankroll management, you are really setting yourself up to have a 99.7% chance of not going broke.I think thought that the whole Brian Hastings and Brian Townsead incident was out of order if Full Tilt issued those rules to pros and they go against it.I think the suspension of Brian Townshead was very fair.I have nearly finished reading Mike Matusow book for 2nd time, it is mostly aimed at young poker players but anyone can still read it, great book ! Time to watch a few episodes of HIgh Stakes Poker on pokertube

Video Games Are Awesome
I must say some video games really make you feel in a whole new world.I already feel in a whole new world so playing them just takes the piss a bit.Espeically ones that aren't football, i really enjoy playing pes and going to tournaments and stuff but when i am at home as well as playing that now and then i decided to play another game from my rather small collection.I played Saints Row 2 for first time like 5 months and really enjoyed online, a good laugh with some of the guys on it, i forgot to mention i totally sucked at it.What i done was drive in a car and run over people.The reason i did not get out the car was because i would die.Oh and also one game it was 7 v 1 and i was myself how fair was that,.Then the next game it was 10 v 1.Now it is one thing putting a guy who is a master of the game in that position, putting me who plays the game once in a blue moon is a complete joke.Yeah if i got more time to play these games i would but i enjoy them too as it is very rare i play them.GTA 4 i am like a quarter of the way through it, i love playing the mission and enjoy getting to know all the characters, i love how you can get drunk in a game, that makes me laugh, not played it in while but plan on playing some missions later this month.I remember the San Andreas days when i was a very young kid, say about 13.All the guys in the area used to play and we all used to talk about about how we progressed in the game.Now because it was such a special game the majority of people waited until Christmas, now there was me and another guy who where very competetive so we had a goal to complete it first against each other cause we knew the rest would be well behind as we where very very competetive.Now the other thing was he went out and got the game a month and a half before Christmas, that is how much he wanted to win this.He kind of cheated imo lol but it is funny looking back.I thought okay this can't count anymore.But he was going through the game at reasonable speed so when i got it at Christmas i played it like 8 hours a day, i really tried to beat him.I lied that i was near start who he kept taking it easy.I closing in on him but then he started to pick up pace and won, but it was close in the end.It took me like 2-3 weeks to complete it which is pretty hard to do.Now i have had GTA 4 for over a year and look at me lol.I think if i actually had competetion or some sort of bet i would play it loads.If anyone wants to bet on me to complete it in a month i will happlily take you up on that bet.The last game i want to mention is Street Fighter 4.I have always been a street fighter kinda guy over a tekken but i still like tekken.Street Fighter days back at m and d's arcade was really cool, this was back in the ninties when i was a retro big time gamer, not like the games now with all the graphics and that but that doesn't bother me i prefer the older type games as it is more like a game.I have started playing street fighter 4 and loved it, i am actually decent at the game, you need to know 2 things, the characters and the moves, i know the characters and half know the moves so looking forward to playing that again.I might buy NFL 10, that seems a fun game, probably buy it around April time after i play demo.Ah games are really fun sometimes.I will be playing more pes over the next few weeks thought to practice for a tourney
Well aside from that played a mtt this morning and came 3rd, satisfied with that, got unlucky at one point or i would have been the chip leader.Still doubled up a few times though.Going to watch the Celtic game very soon.I put £5 on Celtic to beat Kilmarnock and you can only guess what happened lol.Yeah but i always gamble with money i can afford to lose so that side of things is good and i'm not that emotional if i lose.Money doesn't seem to bother me too much.Yeah it is funny i put that game on cause that is the first time i have been to the bookies since August, i rarely sports bet, you have a small chance of winning, it can still be fun now and then though.Okay got to go and watch a cup match
