Thanks man! Before today I was +23k, considering I had 2x 12k downswings and the games weren't THAT great, I am absolutely delighted with that.
see you soon fam!
Lmao bet you are licking your chops you predator!
absolutely buzzing for a game of footie on Monday.
Hahaha speak for yourself. HOpe it turns round for you.
Cheers bruv!
I took a few days off, ate a ton of junk, got through about 5 seasons of my epic epic Football Manager 2007 game (Season 2026 now lmao), just chilled out basically. I was gonna go to the beach for a week, but the weather here is minging so I decided against it. I got back to the grind today, won another $1k. Not sure if I'll play again for the rest of the trip, games were meh again today.
Two fun hands.first one, UTG opens to 35 7 handed. I peel black 77 on btn, BB not bad American reg calls. Flop 79Tr. UTG cbets 65ish, I pop it to 225, American reg cold calls, UTG calls. Turn is the clllllllllassic 8rainbow. x/x/x. River J (!!!). American reg checks, UTG bets 375, I took about 30 seconds and a voice in my head said "well if you've got QJ you've got QJ, nh bud" and jammed. America snap folds, and I am absolutely delighted to fade the snap call. Sits there for like 2 mins and eventually folds. I smile and say "I had it." Silence. "My set was good right?" and show. Silence. I smile, wag my finger condescendingly at him and say "that's what you get for being greedy." And then out of nowhere Lil Jon burst into the commerce and screamed "TURN DOWN FOR WHAT" right in his face.
Next hand is a fun one. 7 handed, UTG sits down at the table and goes north a few hundred bucks. He then opens. 2 calls, I peel KTo from BB. Flop is KT4ssx. He cbets 70ish, MP calls, I say "is this your first hand at the table?" He says "yes", and I say "ok I raise" and make it 250. He thinks I'm rofling about obviously because he announces "raise" after like a minute, and pops it to 500. I'm like "well if u have 44 then nh bro" and pile it in. Fade the snap. He eventually calls. I show him, he flips over AK. I have a very bad feeling. T turn tho, gg.
Won 1k and got the **** outta there. Didn't play well at all otherwise!

Oooooooooh what a day! One of the first hands of the day, a pretty bad American reg opens UTG, I flat MP w AJdd, BTN Russian guy (who turned out to be a ****ing whale) calls, and BB calls too. Flop comes down 983ddx. Checked to button who bets 75. UTG x/r to 225. I hate cold calling here but it seems reasonable. I flat, and Rooskie piles it in. UTG deliberates and eventually calls. I'm like "oh well I call too". I call and say "I have ace high at the moment guys." UTG then says "Oh **** so my diamond outs are no good?" and Rooskie nods his head and says "I have ace high as well." I'm like wtf I'm ahead? Hold hold hold!" Board runs out 2, 2 and Rooskie tables A9o and says "see? ace high!" ****ing wanker hahaha. I immediately get table change so I can't even get any revenge.
Get moved to O's table and I played a really really interesting hand, think I butchered it. O is in high spirits, chatting away. I open black 55 EP, call, O calls CO, BTN decent reg squeezes to 160. I gotta call here w 2 recs behind, especially with O behind. Only O calls, A63sss, goes x/x/x. 4c turn, I think leading is good here. I bet 325, O pops it to 825. He defo has hands like A6 and sets here, so I decide to call and basically never fold if I get there. Really hate it but it's not the worst I guess. River is like 9s and I xc his last 500 and he has Q7ss. Nh I guess.
Suddenly I'm in a hole for $3600 and feeling a bit dejected. Ground it out and won a bunch of small pots. Then O leaves, a new guy takes his place, young Asian guy who looks like he's a reg. Turns out he's a ****ing whale of the highest order. Before I knew he was a whale, he opens HJ to 40, I 3b T9ss to 160. Flop 973r. I cbet 110 into 330, and he makes it like 375. I'm like okay I call. Turn is a 6, I x and he bets 275. I'm like wtf is this reg doing. I call, river is a 2, and he bets like 450. At this point I thought I was getting absolutely dicked by JJ, but I decided to call and he shows me AJo. Insta green tagged him.
A few orbits later I get 22 on btn. He opens to 25 in MP, I call, and BB good TAG British reg calls. Flop is 236ssx. Whale bets 40, I make it 135, TAG makes it 385 and at that point I was snap mucking face up; he's very good but he's not doing this as a semi-bluff. Whale jams and I snap muck it. Whale has K5ss, TAG has 45hh and the turn is a spade. Sore one. Literally 2 hands later, UTG limps, the whale makes it 50, we peel 77 in HJ and BB calls. 200 in the pot. Flop is Q73ccx. The whale cbets 200 into 200 lol. I make it 630 but in hindsight I shoulda gone bigger. Folds round to the whale who's chip stack is made up of almost all whites. He counts it out like 4 times and eventually jams it in. I snap call and snap show. He goes "oh ****!" and turns over KcKx. Turn is the 4 of clubs. I frantically look at his hand, and then the board, and then back at his hand, and then I look up at my roommate who briefly catches my eye. $5,000 pot resting on whether or not this guy catches a club or a king OTR.
