I'm Curfewed

So many texts off mates today saying things like:

"Where are you going tonight?" To which I reply "I'm curfewed i'm not allowed out past 19.15".

And "Are you allowed out on NYE?"

Err no...

"What will happen if you break your curfew for a night?" Errr it depends on the circumstances but If it was to go and get pissed for New Years eve in thepub i think i'd be taken straight to jail without passing go....

So i think i'll stay in!!!

I've been trying to put more volume in and have been playing double or nothing 10Man SNG, which are piss easy. I reckon I should be able to win over the long run 7 out of 10 and am playing 4 to 5 at the same time.

Entry for 10 would be £110 and winnings for 7/10 would be £140 so if i can play 30 a day entry would be £330 and winnings of £420 giving a £90 a day profit from £10 entry SNG. I'd then also generate £270 in monthly rakeback..

Can you live on that? £90 a day x 6 = £540 a week??

No sex please we're british...

Grrrrrr. All my thoughts at the moment are based on sleeping with someone,... anyone...

I'm not sure i've actually had sex THIS YEAR... I was seeing a girl at the end of last year and we split up in the new year so i don't think I slept with her after new year. I suppose i could see it as a good thing that I have slept with anyone this year as I was in prison for 6 months and if i'd slept with someone in jail it would have meant a quite severe change of lifestyle..!

What i've found myself doing now is giving girls I see starting hands in No limit hold em. Take Sarah Harding from girls aloud for example would be pocket aces that you would play no matter what situation. Susan Boyle on the other hand would be 72off that no matter what situation, you wouldn't go anywhere near. As i have been card dead for so long I am starting to look at hands like 34suited and A5off thinking they look appealing.... I hope it doesnt get to the stage when i'm shoving all in with a 63...

Christmas was alright as all my family were here. HAd a huge argument with a woman and her daughter who live round the corner earlier. They've basically stolen one of my mums cats that cost a fortune and she put it through quarantine which also costs a fortune. We know where the cat is and have asked them to stop feeding it and letting it in but they keep doing that so it basically lives there now. We have had it back here, but it's cruel to keep a cat locked in and everytine it leaves it goes back to their house so we don't know what to do. Today they came round saying it need to go to the vet. I said that it was nice you've basically had the cat as your own but come to us when it needs the vet. She started saying she was going to call the RSPCA to which i replied "Why because you stole our cat?" and she got arsy so i ended up saying "piss off you miserable old cow.."

The nerve of some people!!!

More hands needed

Even though my last post says about not playing cash games, I need to play about 400more raked hands to qualify for the 10,000 euro freerole in a few days. Yesterday I fired up 4 tables of micro limit 0.02/0.04 cash tables and sat down with 4euro on each. I played about 100 hands between them and came of 18euros up which was alright. I had friends round last night so didn't play in any of my usual tournaments.

Today i sat at a 0.05/0.10 table for about an hour and played a 5seater 5euro SNG. I won the SNG for 12.50 profit and was 3euro up on the cash table. I currently 20/43 in a MTT with the top 15 paid so hopefully can do well.

I've realised I need to do far more volume when playing. Not more hours but more multi tabling. I fould 4 tabling last night alright and it might have helped. I really will try to play more tables at the same time. It went alright today with cash, SNG and MTT.

My brothers coming down with his wife and her sister tonight so it'll be a houseful as my sister and her mate are already here. It'll be nice to all be together at christmas for the first time in years anyway.

So i hope you all have a good day tommorrow anyway.

Merry Christmas

Reindeer Bounty

Entered a reindeer bounty on Boss which was a 5euro tourney with 1000 guaranteed and 503 runners. They added a 50euro bounty on Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen if you knocked them out.

I was sat next to Donner have a good crack about santa and was double average stack size. Donner went all in UTG and of course every fucker called. I had QdJd so called too and won!!!! So thats 50euro anyway!! and or course won a huge pot so am now chip leader.. x

Raise the River

Well i think i might start all my posts with the french model from the marks and spencer advert...

hmmmmm

anyway....

I joined raise the river and have posted on there and have got some really good feedback and advice from people on there.

I played two tourneys tonight for a total of 9euro buy in. I tried being a bit more aggresive and was stupid to be honest. I busted out of both when i had healthy chip stacks. I need to try and be more aggresive in latter stages and not early stages..

I amup about 15euro for the day after sitting for 2o minutes at a NL20 table. The button had just passed and i was bored so i paid the big blind which i never do but couldn't be arsed to wait for the BB. I got dealt 88 and made a set on the flop and doubled up which was nice.

Am not going to play anymore tonight. In a few days Boss hold a 10,000 Euro freeroll for players who have played 1500 raked hands over the last 30 days. On average boss only has about 10,000 players logged in during busy times and when you discount the tournament players and free play players, I'm not sure how many people will play in this?! They do get 5,000 playing free rolls but hopefully there won't be many and I can do well.

I still haven't heard about this job at Aviva. They want stupid amounts of info in a pre employment check such as passport, bank statements, P45's, Criminal Record Check, Credit Check. Hopefully i'll hear soon and start in the new year..

Top 40

I've had don't stop believing by Journey on a CD in my car for about a year. I'm listening to the charts for the first time in years to hopefully hear that Rage against the machine are christmas number one and Journey are number 9!! I think this is because a little gay man sang it on X Factor...

I really hope rage against the machine are number one. All these songs in the charts are such manufactured shite. Cheryl Cole, Rihanna, Black Eyed Peas they all sound the same. It'll be good to stick it to the X factor shite...

Have played a load of MTT for about 9 hours today and haven't done exceptionally well... Final tabled in 1 and went out 11th in another which was annoying. I'm registered for a 1euro rebuy and the 3euro and 6 euro between 1900 and 2000 and including those buy ins i'm about even for the day so hopefully can go deep.

I need to go into Norwich tomorrow to pick up some stuff from Marks and Spencer for my mum and i have to get the bus... I haven't got on a bus in years.. Hopefully though in Marks and Spencer i'll see who i think is the most beautiful women in the world, even though she is french..

Enjoy

EDIT - frustrating evening again.. just busted 11th out of 540 odd in the 3euro for a pointless cash and finished 70 odd out of 700ish in the rebuy for again a small cash.. I think i'll be about 20euro up for the day.. rubbish....

J3?? Come on really?!?!

Well in the 3euro tonight, hit trip 6's on a Jack high flop and re raised someone with average chips and get called by J3

Turn 3
River J

What is it with french players? there are loads of the fuckers on boss and they are all fucking useless. Who calls with J3?? French retards thats who...

What levels do people stop making these calls on?

Aces Cracked Again

Well since the 4th in the 3euro MTT the other night, i final tabled the 6euro MTT the night before last but only finished 9th for a small cash. Last night i final tabled the same tourney and was chip leader with 5 remaining and lookinjg for the win. I got dealt AA and had that lovely feeling when someone goes all in before you. I call and he flips Kc9c and hits the flush. Even then i had about 5bb left over and got it all in with AJ against 44 and lost that flip too. Really frustrated.

I was having a look at my sharkscope MTT stats yesterday. What are good MTT sharkcope stats?? My name has a little shark next to it which I take as a good thing?

Username	Games Played	Av. Profit	Av. Stake	Av. ROI	Total Profit	Form	Ability /100	Network	Filter
United113	109	$7	$7	121%	$744	-	76	IPN	Sch. Only

Doing things wrong

Well i realised a few things last night. I recovered from that hit in my last post to finish 4th in the tourney and ship 105euros which is both good and annoying at the same time. My problems at the moment seem to be tilting too much.

i read an interesting post at littleacornmans blog http://littleacornpoker.blogspot.com/ that made me think. I'm not really in a good place in my head at the moment in life in general. My attitude is then being transferred onto the Poker tables so i'm tilting too easily. My bankroll is now about 365 Euros so i'm going to play the 3euro tournament and try and build that up. I'm going to avoid the cash tables and higher buy in tourneys atm till i feel confident.

From amatays comment the other day I have also joined raise the river. From just reading peoples comments to other posts has helped me a lot, and i'll start posting there soon. My first posts are going to be things like:

1. To play only MTT, what percentage would you be looking at to win?
2. How many MTT would someone who wants to do it for a living play? (not that I can do it for a living, its just I have the time to TRY and do it as i'm not working)
3. How to build chipstack midway through the tournament in a low level entry/high idiot content with people calling a lot with trash. (I have been waiting for hands to double up/get paid highly however when you get sucked out you're out, rather than winning a lot of smaller pots.

I'm also going to try and learn more. Through reading books/blogs and posts on RTR.

Honestly it's beyond a joke

AA v 82 off

All in pre flop AA has been beaten by 82 off

Seriously does this happen to everyone else?!?!

EDIT

2nd tournament 540 entrants 24 left with about 10BB, shove with A10 called by another short stack with KQ and of courde get beat... honestly every fucking time...

I hate my life

I am so bored at the moment. It's difficult not working and i don't know where my future lies. I would love to be able to play poker for a living. I think thats why i get so pissed off with the beats when they hit. I drift from game to game trying to find one that suits and all the while my bankroll is dropping and dropping.

I think i'm going to focus on playing PLO. I'm going to put a few thousand hands in over christmas and see how i get on..

I'm also going to play less over the next week or so before i start hitting the PLO tables and try and learn a bit more.

One thing that concerns me is this: In a previous job i needed to speak to 300 people a day to get a certain amount of sales. After doing it a while i got to the stage where i wasn't doing that and realised i'd gone too far to be able to do it so left. I hope it hasn't got to the stage with my poker that it's so ingrained in me to play the way i do, which blatantly isn't a winning play and that i can improve

Only time will tell i suppose

So Sick

I'm really starting to think that i'm just unlucky. I understand about variance etc etc but it seems i win coming from behind in the 1st hand of a rebut tournament when it really doesnt make much difference and get really unlucky when it counts.

I'm not sure how to rectify, please see the below hand histories and say what you would do differently?!? Maybe betting the flop on the AQ v A10 hand but have a look......

So thats the 2 tournaments i play out of....

United are rubbish

Chelski drop points and united piss it up as usual......

Rubbish...

Not really played that much poker, I need a break to get my game back together, if i play too much i lose concentration and play bad...

I've realised i need to do the following:

1. Not play AQ
2. Focus on buliding my stack in MTT after the 4th level
3. Not call the blinds with nominal holdings..
4. Only playing premium hands in the first 3 levels.

Oh and not get tilted

and don't get tilted

and don't get tilted...

Or tilted...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Aaaaaaaaarrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh

That is all....

Take a break

I'm going to stop playing for a little while i think. I'm not enjoying it really at the moment and there is no point playing i don't think when you feel bad.

I seem to be getting dead angry with everything at the moment and i don't know why. I can seem to get motivated by anything and get bored doing whatever i'm doing really quickly. I'll go over to my sisters with my mum and get bored after two minutes and want to be back home and then come back home and have nothing to do here. My mum and sister are in London at the moment so i was at home on my own yesterday and did nothing. I played some poker but didn't enjoy it and keep getting so angry with the other players when they make stupid plays and get lucky. So i end up stressed and i don't know why. My roll is about 330 Euro now which is down from the other week but i still need to remember it all started from 13euros....

I had a few films on yesterday such as eagle eye, disturbia, GI Joe and District 9. They were all good and worth a watch, especially eagle eye

Interview

Well the interview surprisingly went ok. They need to do all the checks and if they come out ok then i'll start on the 4th January. The problem is that i told them everything that will come up on the checks but i doubt they'll hire me due to the bankruptcy.

On the poker front i'm playing so badly at the moment. i lose concentration and make stupid plays..

Am just going to play the 1euro rebuy and the 1000euro 3 euro entry tournament on boss at 7pm and 7.35 and play those till i increase my roll.

I really should start setting some targets. I want to try and win 2 tourneys a month and final table 6 times and try and cash in 40% of tourneys entered..

I really need to start keeping proper records as well..

Job interview

Well i've got an interview tomorrow at Arriva (Norwich Union). It's not the best job but at least its work. I'm dreading the interview I really am. Not the interview itself, i could do the job with my eyes closed it's just the amount of information they want. I can see the conversation going something like this:

So why did you leave your last job?

Well i was caught with £50,000 worth of cocaine and arrested in the company car so resigned before being sent to prison for six months, during that time I was declared bankrupt so will fail the credit check you're going to do on me for the FSA, but do i get free health care with this job?!

Am on to a winner i think.....

Same as yesterday

Same two tournaments

1st ran KK into AA

2nd ran QQ into KK

DIDN'T IMPROVE IN EITHER

So when others have it it holds up, when i have it i get beaten

Its a joke

FOR FUCKS SAKE

35 left out of 480 am running 25th. get dealt AA on the SB, folded to me i flat call, BB raises i push and he calls with A7... FUCKING A7 what goes through people fucking stupid cunting thick bastard heads... of course 2 sevens hit...

Cunt

am running 10th out of 67 in a rebuy atm see me get fucked out of that as well


35th.. out fucking AK v AQ all in pre flop and of COURSE a Queen hit.

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK

Fucking useless fuckers on IPN there really are. Why can't i ever get any fucking luck like these retard fucking twats do

I fucking HATE poker

Fuck the Jacksons........

Non poker related rant coming up.......

I hate the fucking Jacksons. I think it's terrible... I've read a few books relating to the original Michael Jackson child molestation case against Jordie Chandler in 1993 and he is gulty as hell. Yet everyone loves him because he sang a few catchy songs.. What sort of World are we living in???

So when recently Evan Chandler, Jordie Chandlers father committed suicide do you here it on the news at all? No, but when the Molester dies you see nothing else on any news network apart from fucking retards crying with candles upset that a child molester has just died. So after Evan's death what does fucking freak Jermaine Jackson come out with?

"

Former Hollywood dentist Evan Chandler was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in his New Jersey home on Nov. 5. The elder Chandler was reportedly terminally ill, but Jermaine believes he killed himself because he felt guilty.

Speaking at a charity event at the Magic Johnson AMC theatre on Monday, the “Daddy’s Home” singer said: “All the things that we’ve been through as a family, the false allegations against my brother, from the 1993 case where they were accusing him of the most horrible things. This kid’s father has committed suicide because he just couldn’t take it and now the kid has come forward and said Michael never touched him.”

Michael always maintained his innocence, and eventually settled out of court with the Chandler family in January 1994 for $22 million. Jordan, 29, also had to sign a contract agreeing never to talk about the allegations.

HE KILLED HIMSELF BECAUSE HE FELT GUILTY???

How deranged and nasty can you be? But coming from the Jackson family it's probably par for the course.

Jacksons.... Fuck you all
