PKR.com Valentine Tournaments

PKR.com has a couple of special Valentine's Day tournament lined up with $1,700 in added prize money. If tournaments are your game then check out the $700 added Cupid’s arrow tournament – or if cash tables light your fire then maybe it’s time to get ‘Married to the flop’. Can’t decide? No problem, you can have fun with both -

Cupid’s arrow - Battle it out for a $700 added prize pool in the Cupid’s Arrow bounty tournament on February 14th at 20:00 GMT. We’re adding an extra $500 to the prize pool, but that’s not all. Felt any of our special bounty players and you’ll also win $50 cash ! So be on the lookout for PKR_Romeo, PKR_Juliet, PKR_Aphrodite and PKR_Eros.

Married to the flop - Play the cash tables where you’ll get the chance to get ‘Married to the flop’. Throughout Valentine's Day every time an all heart flop is dealt on any cash table with blinds 25c/50c or above the eventual winner of the hand will share in a prize pool of $1,000.

PKR Poker is simply stunning and the fastest growing poker site on the net. Our full review hightlights the amazing 3D poker site including video previews of the 3D environment, chip tricks, custom avatar creation & now they offer multi-tabling.

Doyle Brunson Arrest Rumour - False

The internet stikes again on the spurious and unfounded rumour mongering front - This time generating traffic for forum sites NWP & others with rumours that Doyle Brunson had been arrested. Proving to be hot air hours later it's yet another great lesson in internet marketing or a good example of why citizen journalism & blogging is unlikely to provide us with authoritive or factual information on the world around us.

Not wishing to further add further to what must have been a storm of traffic & some nice backlinks I will instead point you to another poker webmaster who made some sense of the whole thing and shot the right holes in the rumours - Thank God there are some people who actually question what they read

The truth about the rumoured Doyle Brunson arrest.

And for those of you who just can't resist blatant link bait check these out entertaining yet journalistically challenged poker stories -

4kingpoker Losses

Not much to report this week, I haven't played much but this seems to have created a new problem -

Now I'm trying to get 2 hours worth of play into an hour sat at the table - Which unsuprisingly leads to me having a personal % to the flop ratio which must be in the high 90% range -

Clearly stupid, clearly unsustainable, clearly not a winning strategy.

I've always maintained that playing tight rock & only the top few hands won't lead to riches as everyone can see you waiting for AA a mile off but I've taken loose aggressive to new levels ...

You need to create uncertainty in your oppositions minds
Not get them thinking "IS THIS GUY EVER GOING TO FOLD ?"

Next week - Playing an hours worth of poker in an hour (no more no less).

Tony G Poker closes to US players

Tony G Poker has announced it is closed to US poker players.

This is a great shame and something Tony G has said he is personally gutted about. It should be noted that they're making every effort to make sure their exiting US players are able to transfer funds to other US friendly sites - Tony G might be mean on the table but he's proving to be a top man away from the table. With such a big personality (infamous in all the right ways) I think his site deserves to survive & thrive from non US players supporting the site.

Sign-up using 4kingpoker's links for a 200% Tony G Poker Bonus up to $400 - Tony G Poker is a small site on the relatively new Skill Games Network but the software is decent, has some great overlays in the tournaments & some nice promotions -

Neteller Closes to US Poker Players

Neteller has offically announced it has closed payment processing for US poker players. After arrests under the WIRE act & UIGEA bill in America.

FirePay have also ammounced they are alos withdrawing from the US Market.

Neteller Statement

Don't panic - Money is safe and sites are providing other eWallets & processors.

Other US / American online poker deposit & payment options

It's going to be a while before the full impact of Neteller withdrawing tranfers to online poker sites for US players. But sites are bringing in other eWallet options - Bodog Poker for example are offering two new methods eWalletXpress & NuCharge.

Information on how other payment processors plan to approach the Neteller news is coming through and new payment methods are being added on a regalar basis. We will update information as it is confirmed by the poker sites.

In the same way the signing of the UIGEA put everyone in a spin and running around like headless chickens - Neteller's withdrawl and the US putting pressure on the banking institutions is bound to make more waves through online poker.

4kingpoker Losses

My run at Poker.com has come to a disapointing end yet again. I was massively up at one stage and then down to showing a modest 2x profit. A nice steady session clawed back up another $400 which went in the space of 4 or 5 bad beat hands - I had KK crushed by AK for $100+ all-in (preflop) which was just the start of the stats defying run.

A few hands later I had a King high flush draw (diamonds) on the flop, hit a king on the turn. Figuring I was ahead with top pair (I was) and a good flush draw I decided to get the other player committed to an all-in, he calls with just an ace of diamonds (nothing paired etc) and of course the diamond hits on the river - The bad beats just kept coming and a $400 profit on the session turned into a crippling $600 loss which now puts me down to under $50.

4kingpoker Losses

After previous blow ups at PokerStars & Full Tilt Poker my deposit at Poker.com was doing really well. Having turned $300 within a week into $1800. No suprise that the wheels have come off in a couple of harrowing sessions and I'm now down to around half ($900) which is pretty poor. Hopefully leaving it for a day or two I can get back into the right frame of mind to play a decent game ... I've knew I was going to play badly but sat down all the same which is just lame ... If your hearts not in it then better to leave it.

On a more positive note we had our first home poker game for a while on Friday night. It was a bit of a crazy night - Fatboy played well and had the most Full Houses I think I've ever seen, but he played them well and made the most of the good cards - I didnt put him on most of them and he managed to slow play the right ones and bet at the right ones. I palmed off alot of chips early doors wasting alot of bets to see the flop only to get re-raised of bet off what were for the most part terrible draws anyway.

Thankfully I got my act together half way through and managed to fold a bit more and then hit some cards finishing up on the night - which covers the damage from the last home game.

He has also launched his own online poker room Tony G Poker with a healthy 200% up to $400 bonus - it's on the same network as Mansion Poker I'm working on the full Tony G Poker Review but it's worth just signing up and checking out both sites for their freerolls & the software is really nice a easy to play.

4kingpoker Losses

I've had one of my usual big blowout online - I was doing ok playing at Full Tilt Poker and I'd been building up reasonably steadily. That said I'm playing alot more aggressively trying to pick up marginal pots that the other players are scared of and generally trying to setup a table image of stealing alot of pots in the hope that when I hit a big hand I can take down a big pot.

Anyway I'm playing at Phil Ivey's $1/2 NL table (he's out of town)

I'd been getting under everyones skin having taken down 4 or 5 pots in a row when I get Big Slick - AK on the Big Blind.

Preflop the betting came round to me, with several calls and a moderate raise by the Button, I re-raised and we were down to the two of us with a nice sized pot.

Flop comes down 3 Ace 3

So I'm first to act with 2 pair aces & 3's but the board showing 2 clubs. I raise twice the pot wanting to take out the flush draw and putting him on high cards or a high pocket pair. He re-raises me all-in and I figure he's gone for the steal before and lost a couple of hands to me so I call.

He turns over AA ... Gutted & I lose a big $386 hand ... Ouch

That pretty much took me out (I've been reckless with my bankroll) so I'm going to be down in the cheap seats to lick my wounds.

But at least I didn't lose my head playing Rodeo Poker ...

UK set to Legalise Playing Poker in Pubs

As recently reported in the Sunday Times the UK government is planning to loosen up gambling regulations. Currently playing card games for cash in pubs requires a special permit. The new legislation is expected to allow playing poker and other card games for cash in all pubs but restrictions are expected. So far the most likely option is a cap on a players maximum loses - expected to be around £10 per night. The reforms to the UK pub licencing laws & regulations would take effect in 2007.

I personally think this is long overdue - Considering the legal state sponsored mugging via the National Lottery has been in full swing for years ... Promising billion to 1 odds at life changing money I hardly think £10 for a pub league or tournament buy-in is going to turn the nation into a bunch of hardcore gamblers.

Let's be honest about it the lottery did that years ago and some crazy statistic like 60% of lottery ticket buyers think buying £10 of tickets and scratch cards is a good way to provide for their pension.

If people seriously believe that - They don't need gambling legislation ... They need to be locked in a padded room.

We've been allowed to play certain pub games like cribbage for cash legally for years but only for penny change. I have fond memories of hours spent in the pub over a pint and a crib board to bring home a hansome profit of 25p at the end of a night ... The idea of a tenner from each player up for grabs is positively mouth watering.

Action Poker re-opens to US Players

After closing to US players following the signing of the UIGEA
(The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) several sites on the Action Poker Network have decided to re-open to US players. Tiger Gaming, Action Poker & PokerInCanada which form part of the Action Poker Network have announced they are now re-opening to American players. The network boasts some of the easiest to win games, not massive volume of players but the bonuses are also fairly easy to clear and sizable.

So you think you can multi-table ?

I'm not a big fan of multi-tabling to be honest.

OK so the arguement goes that if you play more tables you need to make less profit from each to make the same hourly win rate. That seems logical but for me going past 2 tables makes my head hurt and means you have next to no idea about the players your up against.

This might be ok for the micro low tables where everyone is going to be an idiot or make the big hands fairly obvious then playing tight and very slective is the best approach - but that really is just grinding. If your only going play premium hands I think that shows and at even just marginally higher stakes creative play on less tables is more profitable IMHO.

From what I can figure out multi table fans really go for straight play and premium hands - so if your on a table against someone you figure or know is in 3 or 4+ games then think about what they're capable of ... They're not going to get too tricky with marginal and drawing hands but they're going to have something to win big on with the hands they do play.

For me I prefer and have better success (relatively) playing a single table (or 2 max) aggressively and much more tactically - this means I may appear loose and crazy alot which means a very good chance of getting my big hands paid. If your sitting with 6+ games active and folding everything apart from big hands often it means you won't get paid when you hit and you miss alot of safer opportunities to pick up those mid size pots no-one is sure of.

Anyway there you go if you have money to burn you can hook up 4+ screens and multi-table on 16-20 games ... Crazy bankroll requirements but hey I'm sure these guys swear by it ... I'd love to know what they're hourly target is.

Pain Free move to New Look Blog ?

So this week I'm 4 days late posting this being Thursday. A combination of a bit of a cold, other work needing attention and deciding to move the blog onto the beta google thing explains the delay. So hopefully now after hours last night tinkering and pretty much wishing I hadn't - I now have a blog which actually has the same colours as 4kingpoker main site, which is something.

On the negative side Google's so called easier to use beta blogging thing isn't quite so slick ... yet. Limited colour choices means even the standard link colour blue isn't available and seems like everytime I change something for the sidebar stuff in HTML it looses the formating on the previous stuff which is annoying. Still I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

4kingpoker Losses

So far I've only played a couple of hours or so in the last week, I didn't take the 250% re-deposit bonus Poker Heaven offered me in the end. I like PokerHeaven alot as the players are weak passive but I really need to check out the growth of juicy players now at FullTilt Poker, I'm up around $100 there and seem to be clearing the bonus quicker than I expected. I've also been playing PokerStars which also seems to have got juicier than I remember it, so far I'm up around $150 at Stars after not much play at all.

4kingpoker Private Tournaments

The next private tournament we have on is the 19th game in the 4kingpoker Freeroll Tour which will be held at PKR 3D Poker on Wednesday 13th December at 8pm GMT.

PKR is an amazing site but when they launched before the US bill came into play they decided to hold off entering the US market ... So unfortunately this one is only open to NON US members.

Wordsicles & Political Correctness Gone Mad

It's been a while since I've ranted about my pet hate ... Meaningless business jargon ... (I'll give Phil Hellmuth a rest as I think he's been doing some charity work recently). Wordsicles are those totally pointless buzz words idiot business & marketing types chuck around like confetti to give obvious concepts some kind of supernatural and zen like status.

So we've had "blue sky thinking" to the point it's become part of the language so those uber trendy muppets have to get to the new new thing ... "brain salad" "thought salad" ... so now instead of sending your under stimulated underlings off for some "blue sky thinking" they're gathering round to "toss some thought salad" ...

bullshit merchants

And as if having trendy wanabees coming up with daft ideas wasn't enough. The political correctness brigade are jumping in on the act ... Now don't get me wrong I'm all in favour of equality and totally against racism, discrimination and all for sticking up for minorities but this is just bolox.

Apparently the PC police of the motivational business & training junkets are no longer sending their droids ... oops I meant staff / delegates off to do some "brain storming" they now have to call it "mind mapping" due to brain storming being a type of very rare brain fit ...

Now I don't wish to seem dismissive or disrespectful of unfortunate people who have suffered from these brain storms or their families & friends ...

But equally I see little benefit for them knowing some stupid PC motivation coach has banned the term which clearly like many other words (proper ones at that) have several meanings ...

The sad thing is in all this political correctness we've actually lost genuine humanity and manners and replaced it with some half assed "have a nice day" (like I give a sh*t) culture.

FullTilt Beats Party Poker ... FullTilt becomes 2nd biggest Site.

FullTilt Poker has over taken Party Poker to become the 2nd largest poker room online. Whilst Party Poker player volume has taken a severe beating after withdrawing from US online poker, FullTilt has continued to accept American online poker players and has reaped the rewards. PokerStars also staying with US players has maintained its dominance and number one position by a wide margin.

Other poker sites are continuing to consolidate and buy out other sites, notably the iPoker / Playtech buyout of the Tribeca Europe operation which will see the migration from Tribeca to the iPoker Network of sites like VC Poker. Playtech boasts this will make the iPoker network the largest NON US focussed poker network in the business. The move is certain to boost player volumes for existing sites on the network like Titan Poker & Noble Poker over the next few months.

Guiness & Poker Blog ... Iggy Moves Home

The single most successful poker blogger - Iggy is to continue his Guiness & Poker Blog famed for uber posts and random thoughts at a new home, having teamed up with the PokerWorks / Pokernews conglomerate he can now be found here - Iggy's Blog.

Which leads me into thoughts about my own very humble blog ...

Scrawnybob's 4kingpoker Ramble ... Iggy wannabe / Iggy I ain't

I started this blog as something of an after thought ... after launching 4kingpoker.com with no clue about setting up an internet poker site or blogging.

One piece of reoccuring blogging advice which I've probably ignored is to personalise your blog or maybe have an alter ego.

I'm pretty sure my personal life is of little or no importance beyond my small part of the universe and I'm not about to recast Scrawnybob as some kind of poker superhero but I should at least make my blog a little more friendly & personal.

OK so here it is - I'm no beer drinking high stakes poker player with masses of wit and wisedom to impart but at least my name isn't Muriel and I don't have 45 cats and an "exciting" photographic collection of teapot cosies as a basis for my blog.

I am Scrawnybob, an average joe poker player from the UK. Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down, but hopefully I'm always learning more about poker. I setup 4kingpoker.com around a year ago having sat on the domains for 18mnths watching the easy money of the poker affiliate boom pass me by until I finally decided to give it a go.

After several attempts at giving the blog a structure, a purpose and an aim I think it's time to give up on having a plan and just chuck anything in which I think might be interesting ... and as I am unlikely to come close to blogging on a daily basis I'm just going try to get something up once a week.

At the end of the day anyone reading this ... read it quick & just get on playing poker - If you find any of my reviews etc useful ... Please sign up to the sites using my links here or at 4kingpoker.com ;-) deposit some cash and get playing online poker.

Back in my corner of the world I spent the weekend down at a nice cottage in Wales with a few surfy types and ended up playing poker with chocolate coins for chips (it was that or jigsaw pieces / crunchy nut cornflakes) ... great fun and I'm sure I could have cleaned them all out if we hadn't all started eating away at our chip stacks ... It's was great to see a full table of new poker virgins enjoying the game for the first time and a great reminder that it's not all about updating bonus offers and keeping track of promotions / dates and all the affiliate stuff.

Phil Helmuth Bitching - Again

Personally I bloody strongly dislike Phil Helmuth (I won't say hate because I've never met the bloke). But seriously - World champion poker player or not, 50 WSOP in the money finishes or not & youngest prodigy poker genius or not ...

Phil Helmuth you seriously need to get some damn manners - you are frankly a spoilt brat and when it doesn't go your way a total tw*t.

Check out the 2nd to last hand Hellmuth played in the 2006 WSOP ... Seriously rude to an amateur, bitching an moaning like he'd been dealt 3 aces and got cracked - but no he had AK off the other guy had K 10 suited. The guy was close to braining Phil and I think if I'd been sat there I'd have lost it. Hellmuth comes out with his patent "He can't even spell poker" ... You know what Mr Bigshot Poker Champ, you can't spell manners ... Give me Mike the Mouth anyday at least he has a sense of humour.

4kingpoker News ... Playtech / iPoker buys Tribeca Europe for $75m

Playtech (iPoker Network) announced on Monday it had agreed to buy part of rival Tribeca Tables Europe for $75 million. Bringing with it sites currently operating on Tribeca's software platform including VCPoker, PaddyPower, Blue Square & Expekt.

Playtech / iPoker buys Tribeca

Phil Hellmuth makes quickest All-in move Ever ... Phil Hellmuth who is notoriously bad at winning in cash games made a brief apperance on High Stakes Poker and swiftly blew $150,000 in the space of a few hands.

I'm really getting into watching High Stakes Poker on TV ... Basically it's an ongoing cash game open to the poker pro's who stump up a minimum $100,000 buy-in. Daniel Negreanu has suffered a bit of a beating and not recovered from losing a massive hand against Gus Hanson who made quad 5's against Daniel's Full 6's & 5's .. that's a tough beat which Negreanu handled with true professionalism, unlike Hellmuth who is in danger of blowing up in classic style. It was really entertaining to see Phil Hellmuth's patent high speed all-in call against Barry Greenstein ... Man I love to see Hellmuth suffer.

4kingpoker Losses ... Easy come, easy go at FullTilt Poker for me this week. I managed to burn off $100 of profit in about 10mins and swiftly followed it with most of the rest of it yesterday.

4kingpoker Losses ... I've been playing a bit at Full Tilt Poker the last couple of days which has been great fun & a bit of profit. The cool thing I have found is that if like me your not a big fan of the cartoon avatars & bright graphics ... you don't have to put up with them ...

Go into the options menu and you can make the site really clean and simple - No avatars & just dark simple background or set for somewhere in between. It's really made a difference, that and the increase in fish playing at the site ... FullTilt is nothing like the hardcore tougher site it used to be ... Play the Pro's & Beat the Fish.

Anyway I'd been sat in at a $0.25/0.50 NL cash table for a while when I noticed that yes I was on a celebrity table ... Clonie Gowan no less who was playing for her favourite charity The National Ovarian Foundation. Phil Ivey was also in the house on the $1/2 tables I think. FullTilt has a great line-up of pro players you can actually play and chat to, I'm not into the celebrity thing but I have to admit it is kind of nice to come away from a table able to say you didn't loose all your chips to a pro ... I'll leave Phil and $1/2 tables for another day.

Anyway I managed to turn about $40 into $200+ yesterday and was doing well this morning until a couple of hands, this one was a real shocker ...

I hit a low flush on the flop and figured I needed to bet big to get the one card chancers away from what was a decent pot - so I'm sat with about $170 at the table and last to act, so I let them bet and then go over the top for all their money (about $60 a piece - damn it if they don't both turn over clubs, so 3 made flushed on the flop and 9 of the clubs in the deck are out ... Unreal.

At the end of today I'm pretty much where I started from yesterday but it's been fun and I have to say FullTilt has grown on me massively.

4kingpoker News UltimateBet and Absolute Poker merger rumours continue to fly around with announcement expected this week. The resulting poker room would become a bigger player in the market but as yet it is unclear who's software etc would be utilised ... Most likely is using the UltimateBet software and player interface with Absolute Poker's better backroom, marketing and affiliate setup. As a result of the US online gambling bill more mergers and aquistions are likely and there are more rumours including possible talks between Ladbrokes Poker, Party Gaming & 888.com / Pacific Poker ... One thing for sure as a result of the US Bill the poker business is unlikely to look the same in a years time as it does now.

We have been in the process of moving house over the last weekend and the place is still a bomb site so not had much chance to blog or keep up with the forum. Starting next week I'm going to try and get the blog full of more inteesting content. I have been looking at putting up poker related youtube videos on 4kingpoker and after some early fiddling around I think it's going to be better putting any interesting finds up in the blog rather than on the main site ... so watch this space.

4kingpoker Losses ... Definately had no time to play after a rubbish showing in the last 4kingpoker tournie which I think was the only action I got this week.

Funny hand took me out I got Q9 in middle position and short stacked decided to limp in calling the low blinds ... Flop came down 994 which made me trips but not the best way round anyway with a flush draw on the board I decided to try and keep a lid on the hand and hope to just pick up a few chips to keep me going. Turn comes down a 4 so now sat with a Full House and feeling alot more confident and hoping the other guy would hit the flush and I could double up ... Long story short we end up all-in and he turns over 44 making quads ... shit happens.

And to kick off the Poker Tube - Here is the final hand on the final table of the WSOP 2006 which saw Jamie Gold the Winner of the World Series of Poker 2006.

Gus Hanson & Daniel Negreanu clash on High Stakes Poker.

Poker Thoughts for the week ... US Poker Ban

Well everyone in the industry seems to be wandering around in circles, running off in different dierections or jumping of cliffs like lemmings.

Due to all the legal implications either real or perceived, NON US poker forums like 4kingpoker that do not operate as poker rooms are struggling to know what the future holds.

The internet is a global means of communication and yet the US online gambling bill (a US law regulating the tranfer of money from the US to online gambling sites) seems to be potentially effecting just about everything and everyone else in the world interested in playing poker either online or in live games ... This IMHO seems to be ethically wrong.

I'm not going to get into the whole "US Poker Ban or Not" debate ... why ?

Well because everyone including lawyers and legal eagles seem to have found little concensus - On the one hand sites like PartyPoker and Pacific Poker (both traded companies) have made it clear and have withdrawn from the US poker market. On the other most sites seem to be taking either a clear stand that as don't operate out of the US therefore the law does not apply and they feel it goes against international trade law, or they are currently continuing "business as usual"

The most important thing from a players point of view is that the reputable sites are assuring players their money is safe on their poker sites.

It's true that the new bill does only restrict the payment via banking systems from the US to a gambling / poker site and therefore some argue that this is not a US poker ban. But the interesting thing will be how much the US government take this view also.

One thing is clear that everyone will be watching and waiting to see what happens once the bill is signed and the 720 days for the banks to implement it are up. Let's face it US banks / credit cards haven't been dealing with poker sites for a good while already so many are predicting business as usual ... Neteller is still planning to operate and it is unclear whether the bill has any hold over a European payment system or not.

In short it seems that online poker for US players is still the grey area that it was before the bill was passed.

The most startling factor is how the online gambling bill ever got to this stage in the first place. Senator Frist has managed to attached it to the port security bill which was guaranteed to pass no matter what was attached to it. However many are expressing concerns that such an irrelevant piece of law could be attached so easily - maybe these voices will multiply in the halls of power and cut the bill out all together.

For legal reasons (ie. I'm NOT a lawyer) I would advise all players around the world to always check the legal status of playing online poker in their country of residence - and I do NOT encourage anyone to break any laws which may apply in their country of residence. Any statements by the poker sites regarding whether sites are "open" or "closed" to US players are quoted directly from the respective sites and are NOT the views or opinions of 4kingpoker or this blog - They are in thepublic domain and reproduced purely for entertainment / information purposes.

US Passes Bill - A Ban on Online Poker ???

The US house of Representatives has passed a bill about gambling transactions over the internet ... Not by fair or legitimate means - But by stealth ... By attaching the Online Gambling Prohibition Bill to the Port Security Bill making it a sure vote.

The Port Security Bill was important and virtually guaranteed to pass no matter what was attached to it ... Underhand or What ??

But is this really a Ban on Online Poker in the US ???
Is this the end of online poker in America ???

Well the inevitable panic posting in forums has been around for a while and this is unlikely to slow it down but it's important to keep some perspective on the bill and everything surrounding it.

Firstly the bill never was and isn't an outright crystal clear ban of online poker in the US. The bill aims to restrict online gambling by prohibiting the use of electronic payments, including credit cards ... That is NOT the same as banning online poker.

OK so it may make things tougher to play in the US but the bill has NOT suddenly made playing online poker in the US illegal ... Which seems to be what alot of panic forum poster seem to think.

At least for the moment it looks like Neteller is a valid means of depositing and withdrawl at online poker sites ... It looks like the bill will take up to 9 months to be fully implimented and in the meantime Neteller, a Euopean company with no US based holdings appears to plan to continue it's business until they're told they can't.

Obviously the most logical thing to do would be to legalise online poker and make some fat taxes, but a few zealots in government find the idea so terribly bad they seek to ban it - They knew they couldn't ban it so they've sneaked in a bill designed to make it harder to make the real money transactions in the US. They even had to do that on the back of another bill in order to get it through ...

Online poker illegal in the US ? ... I think not
The end of online poker in America ? ... Lets hope not

Online Gambling Prohibition Bill Update ... Pacific Poker / 888.com have announced they are ceasing their US accounts which is close to half their business. Other poker sites like Party Poker / Party Gaming are assessing the situation. It's too soon for US players to panic ... The bill will probably take 9 months to impliment, its unclear how effective it will be and how keen the banks and institutions will be to enforce it.

PKR 3D Poker Bonus & Review

4kingpoker Losses ... Not much success online at the moment so I was really looking forward to our first home game for several weeks on friday night.

Ended up being a very mixed night as I blasted through my chips early on. Cashed up twice in the first hour and got beat on two big hands which was frustrating but I didn't feel I did the wrong thing ...

I flopped the nut straight and correctly slow played knowing that the guy after me wouldn't be able to leave chips out on the table. Sure enough he raised £5 after 2 of us checked to him - the player on my right folds and I raise over the top to £10 still feeling confident I was enough ahead, the next card didnt help him but I then pushed all-in and he called turning over two pair - better than I expected but still ahead until the river makes him a full house.

The rest of the night seemed to be going his way - big change and we were all getting pounded - Long story short I ended up putting £60 in play and only managed to break even my the end of the night - not great but at least I got back square.

4kingpoker Tournaments ... We have a couple of games on this Sunday 1st October - The 6th game in the Buy-in Tour and a new format with Titan Poker which will be a weekly $250 FREEROLL at 6pm EST which is a joint private freeroll with a couple of other poker forum sites, this will replace the Titan Series and should be fun to play a private freeroll but up against some new players.

3pm EST at Titan Poker for a $3+0.30 buy-in with $50 added -
game 6 of The 4kingpoker Buy-in Tour.

Poker Heaven Bonus & Review

4kingpoker Losses ... I've been playing at PokerHeaven quite profitably until I had a random turn (yes again) and started playing in the $1/2 games (way above my bankroll) with some success then a disasterous run of luck. Not really bad beats but just really big hands with heavy match-ups ... losing my ace high flush to a full house on the river a few times, KK losing to Ace rag when I'd got the player all-in pre-flop ... That kind of thing. Anyway I'll start building up again steadily.

4kingpoker Tournaments ... After yesterday's cancelled buy-in tournie at PokerHeaven which was a major disappointment given that we have a fair few play money players there I've managed to get next Sunday's tournie changed to a $50 freeroll.

Sunday 17th September, 3pm EST at PokerHeaven $50 freeroll - game 14 of The 4kingpoker Freeroll Tour.

4kingpoker News ... We have a couple more new sites coming into the reviews soon. I'm also going to be adding another free to enter competition and I'm working on some sort of incentive posting reward system.

Poker Heaven Bonus & Review

4kingpoker Losses ... I've been playing a bit at PokerHeaven on the Boss Network. I really like the software and the players truely suck, so much so that even I can make a bit of money ... Up $130 so far from playing about 3 hrs in the $0.25/0.50 NL cash games ... not sure how long that will last though.

4kingpoker Tournaments ... The 1000th member celebration freeroll at DreamPoker went well this weekend. We had 69 players and a host of regular and new faces ... Hayden1009 took 1st place with DomEast coming in 5th and Rgchan in 6th place. I finished a not very impressive 39th having got a bit enthusiastic with a couple of early hands and then hitting a long spell of duff cards ... I had a pocket pair once but 55 wasn't going to get me anywhere so managed to blind myself away - Great fun though.

The next weekend we're at PokerHeaven for game 5 of the 4kingpoker buy-in tour. $3+0.30 buy-in with $50 added on Sunday 7th September at 3pm EST and then back at PokerHeaven the following Sunday for the 6th game in the league series.

4kingpoker News ... The forum has grown to over 1000 members which is great and I'm hoping to be spending more time in the forums.

4kingpoker Tournaments ... Nice result for Littlegrave who came 1st in the Titan game battling with HarryLime who finally finished 2nd. Sunday's game was the fourth game of the 4kingpoker Buy-in Tour.

Next I plan to get the couple of September games at PokerHeaven on the Boss Network. I really rate the site as the players really are bad, there is a reasonable volume of games and the software isn't a total eyesore like alot of the easiest to win sites.

There will also be a couple of freerolls to organise in September - Will be looking into getting some of the newer sites to host these.

4kingpoker Losses ... Not had much time to play, but enough time to get through my bankroll at Ultimatebet, yet again proving I can win well at peak times and pi** it all away playing during off peak.
Nice bit of progress at Noble Poker tripled my meager bankroll - unsuprisingly playing at times when there was a better volume of games - picking out juicy 0.25/0.50 NL cash games.

Professor Heinz Bean and his research team have trained a goldfish to play No-Limit Texas Holdem - Nicknamed Devilfish after UK pro Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott.

The aquatic player has overcome the 7 second attention span of other goldfish to become an expert poker player.

Poker Heaven Bonus & Review

4kingpoker Losses ... I Lost $50 in the one and only hand I played in a 0.50/$1 cash game the other day at UltimateBet ... with AA.

I'd been sitting patiently folding everything and playing tight when I landed AA on the button. Everyone folded round to me, I didn't want to loose both the players on the blinds even through it was a loose table so I just put in a 1x raise to make it look like I was trying to steal the blinds & hoping I'd get re-raised by one of them. Sure enough the BB re-raised and I raised the pot back at him - he then pushed me all-in which was great ... Even if he was on high pocket pair my Aces had him dominated and so I was set to double up my $50 in one hand or so I thought. He turns over AA and the flop comes down King and two spades and as I'm looking down to check my aces the inevitable happens - yes two more spades on the turn & river to give him a flush ... The only thing that could have stopped a split pot.

I was gutted - Think this is the first time I've had AA and come up against AA which was bad enough but to loose to the flush was doubly gutting ... Still I know we both did the right thing getting all the money in pre-flop ... Just unlucky.

Somewhat tilty I jumped straight into a $20+2 10 seat SnG and managed after some up's and down's and a couple of lucky hands to win - so recovered the losses ... Phew.

4kingpoker Tournaments ... The next game planned for this Sunday at Titan Poker which is the 3rd game in the 4kingpoker Buy-in Tour on Sunday 20th August 3pm EST for a $3+0.30 buy-in with $50 added.

The following weekend (27th August) will be the 4th game in the Buy-in Series again a $3+0.30 buy-in with $50 added at Titan Poker.

4kingpoker News ... Jamie Gold wins the 2006 WSOP Main Event and is $12 million richer. He qualified to the WSOP main event as part of Team Bodog and has signed up a deal to carry on playing at Bodog in regular online games and they're also funding him to play all the big poker tournments on the world circuit.

He had a dominating chip lead and really didnt endanger his stack but very successfully bullied the smaller stacks constantly raising and applying the pressure. He was chip leader for several days and picked off 7 of the final table players single handedly. Once he had taken out 2005 WSOP player of the year Allen Cunningham who finished 4th leaving the other 2 players very short staked, Jamie Gold was the inevitable winner.

Poker Heaven Bonus & Review

4kingpoker Losses ... I've really tried to be disciplined having found the hole in my game ... OK having found one of many ... Playing at the least profitable times of day. I've put a bit into UltimateBet to try and clear up some of the bonus money I've got lying around. Not quite figured UB out as I used to do ok there but I'm guessing that was playing at high volume peak hours - so far I've only put in a couple of hours with nothing dramatic either way. The bonus doesn't expire (but isn't that fast to clear) so I will just bide my time until I can work in a slot on the night shift.

4kingpoker Tournaments ... The $50 Freeroll Tour tournament at Poker.com this weekend was won by ... Gotdanuts after a good battle the long time chip leader Braisco was defeated in the heads up to come 2nd. After 13 games in the tour this puts me still theoretically at the top of the leaderboard (but my points don't count) so TishMan is still in 1st place with 7 games to play.

The next game planned is at Titan Poker for the 3rd game in the 4kingpoker Buy-in Tour ... Sunday 20th August 3pm EST for a $3+0.30 buy-in with $50 added.

The following weekend (27th August) will be the 4th game in the Buy-in Series again at Titan Poker.

4kingpoker News ... Well most of the players are out of the WSOP main event which started with a record 8,773 players - It's down to the final 27 players and there isn't a top name celebrity poker pro amongst them. Obviously there is much that will be discussed about the massive change to the live tournament circuit as a result of growth in WSOP internet qualifiers & satellites. The Pro's seem to be all of a spin and this year more so than last year. The worlds richest live tournament seems to have attracted a bucket load of mad & bad players - so much so that a poker playing monkey was even allowed to enter and judging by some of the reported quality of play actually stood a chance. I haven't posted much on the WSOP as there are so many sites / blogs having a stab at it I figured it was a job best left to the big boys (see below). Jamie Gold is current chip leader with $13 million and nearly a 2/1 chip advantage over 2nd place Erik Friberg. It certainly looks like 2006 will be a turning point in live poker tournaments ... Will a bunch of unknowns make such good TV ? ... If Big Brother is anything to go by it certainly won't. On the other hand at least it keeps the WSOP dream alive for us low stakes players ... Roll on World Series of Poker 2007. Last year a couple of pro's made it to the 2005 WSOP final table, this time they're all on the rail licking their wounds ... And I bet Phil Hellmuth is still moaning about it.

4kingpoker Losses ... No losses this week due to lack of play, hopefully I will get a chance to play a bit this week - I've got a bit of money at poker.com and a free $20 at party poker which I've played with a bit and was doing ok until I really started to treat the players with a little too much contempt ... but they are really really bad ... don't even need massive amounts of patience to make money there but you do need to make sure you don't pick up their bad habits.

4kingpoker Tournaments ... The $3 Buy-in tournament at Poker.com this weekend was won by one of our newer members ... gonhuntin which puts him in 3rd place overall leaderboard with 10 games to go. HarryLime & charterboss are in joint 1st place in the league both with 16pts.

This coming weekend 4kingpoker has another game at Poker.com this time a $50 freeroll ... The 13th game in the 4kingpoker Freeroll tour ... Sunday 6th August at 3pm EST.

4kingpoker News ... Having sorted out most of the changes to bigger text on the site now it looks 100x better and much easier to read than the original version. Still alot more work to do to get 4kingpoker up in the top poker forums but I think finally it feels like its going in the right direction rather than drifting. So much to do and just not enough time.

With the whole online poker situation in the US getting wierder by the minute, tales of panicing sportsbooks, an arrested company director and some of the poker sites in a panic about having US players it seems like things are getting all bent out of shape and not much perspective on the bill. The bill may or may not get through the senate. I'm no lawyer but as far as I can gather it won't end up getting through and most importantly it is very unlikely that online poker in the US will be banned ...

Full Tilt Poker Bonus & Review

4kingpoker Losses ... Unfortunately I've reverted back to type and played during the day instead of waiting until an opportunity to take the easy money playing in the evening. I keep sitting in with grinders and then losing patience. Now down to loose change at Noble Poker & not much anywhere else. I really can't see I'm going to get time to play at profitable times for the moment.

4kingpoker Tournaments ... Hosted a good freeroll at Poker.com on the weekend and it's good to have a tournie that actually went as planned. This coming weekend 4kingpoker has another game at Poker.com this time a $3+0.30 buy-in with $50 added ... The 2nd game in the 4kingpoker Buy-in tour which is on Sunday 30th July at 3pm EST.

4kingpoker News ... At the moment the site is a bit up in the air as I'm trying to clean the site up and increase the text sizes and make it all easier to scan. On top of this I'm planning to improve other areas and generally the backroom stuff is a hell of alot more involved than I ever imagined ... So bear with me.

Day 365 ... 4kingpoker Losses One Year On

Confessions of a poker playing penguin ... well probably not.

One Year on ...

Well its a year (365 days) since I started keeping a record of my poker losses in preparation for the launch of 4kingpoker.com which isnt a year old until October. Having set a budget of $600 I think I ended up going a bit over (around $750) and had up until last night got only $50 ish left at HoldemPoker, less than $20 at Titan Poker & $50 at Noble Poker. After staying up last night due to it being too hot to sleep I ended up $250 at Noble Poker (same iPoker Network as Titan Poker). The net result approximately (as it's still too hot) is that the year of poker has cost me around $380 or £200 which is in my humble opinion a bargain for the amount of games I have played at least in the early days. Of course my school report would read ... "must try harder - Scrawnybob consistently plays games without due attention and is easily distracted by more important work"

• 4kingpoker Losses Update

I've kind of conveniently lost track of some deposits and losses at Titan Poker when I was depositing to payout the overall winner of the Titan Series II ... Long story short was I tried to play up past the $50 to give me a bit of money left to play with ... and failed then found I needed to have $100 in to do the tranfer, so after paying the prize I've got less than $20 ... oops

I've been so tied up with updating 4kingpoker.com, badbeatornot.com & milliondollarpokerguide.com that I've only managed to play 5 games in a week ... And all of those badly. Gone is the $200 ish profit and now I'm actually down at HoldemPoker. I'm coming to the end of a year of keeping track of my losses and I'll have to take the extra deposits at Titan out of next years budget. My "New Year" resolution is going to be to only play when I can really play and to try and work my way through some of the outstanding bonuses I have lying around at a few sites ... but we'll see how well that goes.

Phil Hellmuth, Jr. is the greatest poker player in the world. And if you don’t believe it, just ask him. Hellmuth reached a new milestone today when he became the first player in World Series of Poker history to reach 50 in-the-money finishes. With his 67th-place finish in an colossal field of 2,776 entries in the $1,500 buy-in no-limit hold’em event, Hellmuth eclipsed two longtime poker rivals – Berry Johnston and Men "the Master" Nguyen, each currently with 49 cashes.

The home of online poker, Poker.com, has generously offered to provide the WSOP packages won by ten ChecknRaisePoker.com members who have been told that ChecknRaisePoker.com is unable to fund their World Series of Poker prize packages as previously won through their website promotions.

According to various press releases surfacing on online gaming news sites, ten ChecknRaisePoker.com members that had won World Series of Poker seats have been informed that their prize packages are not to be honored. Via an email from ChecknRaise management they have instead been offered a series of small payments over the coming months.

Poker.com has attempted to contact ChecknRaisePoker.com management by email and telephone to confirm this situation and offer to cover the prize costs, but as yet have been unable to get a response.

Both the tournament entry fee and spending money according to the terms of each promotion will be provided by Poker.com if any of the affected players come forward.

Poker.com Director of Gaming, Paul Cherry said, "I don't want to comment too much at this time, as we are yet to obtain confirmation that the reported situation is accurate. But if the story is true, we are happy to help these players however possible.”

Managed to make a bit of progress which is needed to keep me afloat online.

Just got back from a great night out playing a live game at a local pub. Bit of a small event as they usually get 40-50 players apparently but this is definately a tournie I want to do again. 21 players started, 3 table shootout with 3 from each going through to final table. I made it to final table with probably a decent chip lead on my table having taken out 2 of the players but then found the chips stacks were re-set for the final table so like starting all over again.

They all seemed a really friendly bunch including one character who was determined to go all-in guns blasting - and playing blind - thats blind not blind drunk. He doubled up on the first hand and from there on in even with the blinds at 10/20 it was apparent every hand was going to cost 500+ to see the flop. So much for taking control of the table, I was going to have to wait for a hand with strength, especially as I was to act before the now massive chip leader. I decide it was probably best to wait for a couple more of the impatient players to go out and hope that I remained an equally short stack - once anyone else started to make progress I was going to have to get aggressive. Well for the next 30 mins I saw no cards at all - no choice but to keep folding and the blinds were creaping up every 20mins as my stack was slowly but surely dwindling.

The big stack was still playing some hands blind but I got dealt KA and was thinking now was the time to pick up an all-in or at least 500 if he was definately blind. He was and went in for the regulation 500 but unfortunatly two called in before me and I had to make a tough decision - fortunatly the right one - I folded figuring both players whilst bored of folding had also been patient and were making a stand with pocket pairs. I was right thankfully - they turned over 99 and QQ. The 99 made trips on the flop and we thought was sorted until a Q came on the river - tough break.

I sat it out until the maniac had left the table a few hands later leaving us with 4 at the table including me - very short stacked. There was no way I was going to be able to sneek into the money (top 3) just folding but I just wasnt getting any hands - I was now stuck with high blinds and so any hand was still going to be for all my money.

In the end I folded and folded - picked up one set of blinds but continued to get hands like 47off and 38off on the blinds which I just had to give up. At last I hit a decent hand QA suited with barely enough to meet the blind - It was going to be all-in every hand after this. One caller turns over A9 suited - We both catch and ace on the flop and he catched a 9 on the turn ...

Thats Poker & was one of the most enjoyable nights out I've had in a long time.

Playing like a muppet at the moment - Trying to be clever in games where any idiot (except me) would realise that half the table WILL call anything and WONT fold under any circumstances - This is totally my own fault, I know the score in these cheap games and yet I continue to think I can move players off a hand just because I have position.

I'm now near enough a year into my low stakes experiment of playing at sites I probably wouldn't have tried if it weren't for launching 4kingpoker. I have managed to stay within my "budget to loose" of $50 per month / $300 per year and although I have nothing in the way of profit I have proved you can play a hell of alot of games and only loose pocket change. I am now down to pretty much what I started with at Holdempoker and have nothing else but unclaimed bonuses at other sites. 4kingpoker has proved to be alot more time consuming than I ever imagined and I think it's really affected my game as a result - or more to the point I've found trying to play and work - doesn't work.

• Latest Poker News ... Poker Players Alliance fights to legalize online poker in US

The Poker Players Alliance, a group of more than 27,000 poker players, is fighting the legislation and working to promote and protect the game. They are is asking Congress to consider a rational and realistic approach to online poker that would create a regulated environment for people to play online - much like the regulations that govern traditional casinos.

The Poker Players Alliance supports regulation that ensures that the games remain safe, fair & honest and that dispute mechanisms are available. In fact, legislation has been introduced that would commission a federal study of online gaming to determine the full benefits of regulating and taxing it in the United States.

The United States is oddly out of step with the rest of the world where governments like the UK have passed laws permitting and regulating online poker. The Poker Players Alliance is actively supporting this as a sensible alternative to prohibition and so should you.

If you haven't done so already ... become a member of the Poker Players Alliance today. With your support, they can turn back Congress' efforts to ban online poker.

Help keep the tradition alive - both online and offline - and join the Poker Players Alliance. By joining the PPA, you can keep current on legislation on Capitol Hill, and speak out by sending an email or letter directly to your members of Congress. Together, we can tell Congress that putting the word "Internet" in front of poker should not tarnish this great American game.

I've been away working this weekend - well almost working. One of my nicer jobs of late spending a couple of days down on the coast taking pictures for a surf festival, so loads of sun, chilled out people & some cool local bands that were actually pretty good.

Titan Poker ... $50.34

$10 cash NL 0.10 ... $16.45 ... +$6.45
$10 cash NL 0.10 ... $13.45 ... +$3.45

$5+1 SnG ... 1st ... + $19.00
$5+1 SnG ... 8th ... - $6.00
$5+1 SnG ... 5th ... - $6.00
$5+1 SnG ... 10th ... - $6.00

$10 cash NL 0.10 ... $14.39 ... +$4.39
$10 cash NL 0.10 ... $00.00 ... -$10.00

$10 cash NL 0.10 ... $22.72 ... +$12.72
$10 cash NL 0.10 ... $00.00 ... -$10.00

$5+1 SnG ... 2nd ... + $9.00
$5+1 SnG ... 4th ... - $6.00

Titan Poker ... $50.34 ... +$11.01 ... total $ 61.35 (-$104.99)

Figures look a bit weird because I've popped $50 in Titan which I'm, not counting as it's for the Titan Series II prize money - just having a bit of a punt on it to see if I can work it up so there is a little left in there to play with after I've awarded the prize money. Had a rough ride all-in with my KK called preflop with JQ off and them floping two pair but so long as I don't duck under $50 then it's free money kind of.

Holdem Poker ... $100.83

$5+0.50 SnG ... 4th ... -$5.50
$5+0.50 SnG ... 10th ... -$5.50
$5+0.50 SnG ... 8th ... -$5.50
$20+2 SnG ... 5th ... -$22.00

Holdem Poker ... $100.83 ... -$38.50 ... total $ 62.33 (+$18.33)

It's all gone wrong at Holdem Poker, both games I got majorly beat with junk hands when I had KK, AA, KA in position etc so went proper tilty and jumped into a $20 game to avoid the mad players only to get sucked out in 5th - I'd played well until then but got stubborn on an ok hand but stuck with it when clearly the other guy had managed to make something from the junk on the flop ... really dropping badly.

My least liked and most over heard term this week has to be the "keep in the loop" nonsense - complete with round handed gestures to suggest loopiness to anyone even more hard of thinking that the retard trying to keep people in the loop in the first place -

Things are still pretty wide open with only one player picking up points in more than one tournie. One tournie left this weekend to pick up points to qualify for the final.

Randomly played in a 30 seater turbo tournie which was wild and blinds just raced up, finally got knocked out just short of the 5 paying places. The money didn't even get worthwhile until the top 3 so it was a bit of a waste of time really - interesting that it wouldnt hav taken much longer than a normal 10 seat SnG though.

Things are still pretty wide open with only one player picking up points in more than one tournie. One tournie left this weekend to pick up points to qualify for the final. We will probably change the format a little bit for the titan series III and have a straight overall winner of the series rather than a final.

4kingpoker Titan Series II ... Sunday 11th June 3pm EST $3+0.30 buy-in with $50 added & on Sunday 18th June 3pm EST is the FINAL a $3+0.30 buy-in with $50 added for the top 25 players on the leaderboard from the previous events.

Day 313 ... Launch of MillionDollarPokerGuide.com ...

• MillionDollarPokerGuide.com

I've finally launched my new poker guide site ... MillionDollarPokerGuide.com - Online Poker Guide & Directory

It's a variation on a poker pixel ad site but with added poker content so hopefully this should build into a great online poker resource with poker information & articles from the advertisers and showcase the best poker sites on the internet. Well that's the hope anyway - One site with lots of information from many sources with the best poker site reviews, bonuses, strategy articles from poker forums and content sites advertising on milliondollarpokerguide.com.

I'll update on it's progress here as we build up advertisers and in turn add to the content and information on the site.

Day 308 ... Monday came & went ...

• Wordsicle Watch

I haven't had any recent photography jobs involving bulls**t motivational speakers to listen to for inspiration. So while randomly going through the internet in search of wordsicles I thought I'd google "wordsicle" out of interest.

It's never ceases to amaze me at the dross on the internet - these strange automatic blogs that "scrape" I think its called for snippets of possibly relevant text -

Yep - my pointless ranting about wordsicles seem to have got picked up by several sites selling wedding products in Vegas and one for Titan mowers & Day 293 of my blog seems somehow relevant to dog collectables - Just when I thought business jargon was the most important issue for the world (oh and global warming) I find people actually wasting their time to produce totally random blogs in some kind of vain hope of making a buck.

I did however find some useful resources in the fight against meaningless business jargon. Check out - BuzzWack

Which handily reminds me of some wordsicles that have bugged me in the past but try to forget - I honestly struggle when an English person comes out with what is really Americanized ;-) business jargon - It sounded w**k when they said it, what makes you think saying it in Bracknell will suddenly fix it ? It's still to coin another wordsicle - Nothing Speak

Facilitator ... Organiser.

Zerotasking ... I'm bored I've cleared my in tray.

Nothing Speak ... Blah blah blah.

Take note Speading Jargonese is a Recipe for Failure

It's been a bit of a busy few days - I've just launched another poker site which I have been working on - still got a few things to iron out before I really start to push it, so still under wraps until I get a bit more content. Hence my Monday post not happening and this one being rather hurried.

Titan tournie went well this weekend apart from the winner being a player who clearly wasn't in the forum - depressing as the only way they could have played is if someone in the forum gave out the password - unfortunately nothing we can do about it - One of the joys of being a webmaster :-(

Combination of the last few days at Holdempoker has taken me over the $200 mark - steady but unremarkable progress but definately better not playing so much and actually setting down to either play or not play poker.

• Fete Watch Random pick of a fete coming up no-where near you ...
Holne village fete, South Devon 12th August

Featuring an awful lot of tossing - egg tossing, bale tossing plus all the usual standard fete features with the addition of the "Bean Bag Ladder"

Which links us nicely to Bagpuss - That pink cat, everyone of a certain age remembers from their childhood.

Emily's cat Bagpuss, The most Important, The most Beautiful, The most Magical Saggy old cloth cat in the whole wide world ... and not forgetting Professor Yaffle and the mice on the mouse organ.

Check out Bagpuss Characters and Bagpuss FAQ's

Let it never be said that 4kingpoker doesn't try to show you a world beyond the poker tables.

Things have been getting a bit hectic so sorry reader for the lack of posts ... I will be cutting back on posts for a while to Monday (random weather), Wednesday (wordsicle watch) & Friday (fete watch)in order to free up a bit of time for working on 4kingpoker and another poker project ... I'm not promising that the blog will improve as a result but hell it can't get much worse (I hear your say).

I've got way to much poker site related work to sort out to even try and half concentrate on playing during the day. I'm going to keep telling myself not to play during the day - the traffic falls off everywhere even the bigger sites so I think it's a good time to take a break for a couple of days. Maybe I'll try getting up early or play a little in the evening but I think playing daytime UK just isn't the best time to play ... maybe I'll be logging on at 9am tomorrow morning having not listened to myself ... who knows.

Day 299 ... Deposits at Titan & Noble ...

I've ended depositing at Titan & Noble as it was a bit of a close run thing on the Titan Tournie this weekend and I thought I would be needed to make up the numbers. I've done the same at Noble but the way it's going I've burnt through nearly $50 and won't even have the entry for this weekends $5 Noble Ticket Tournie - oops.

Harry_Lime is yet again showing his skills at the tables and took 1st place in the Titan Series game 2.

Absolute rubbish - jumping around limits to find loose games and still not managing to beat them - I'm still not very good at cash games but playing at off peak times really is a recipe for disaster.

Day 296 ... Moving to cash games ...

• Fete Watch Random pick of a fete coming up no-where near you ...
Nutley Windmill Fete, Sussex 25th June

Classic Cars, Stationary Engines, Steam Roller & I'm guessing here but probably a Windmill.

Windmills are great - and wind turbines too - the NIMBIES moan that they look unsightly - to me they look amazing and at the end of the day - either don't use electricity or quit moaning. Other people got a nuclear power station in their garden and your moaning about something that produces clean energy and not a 2000 year headache for someone else to solve ?

Some interesting stuff on old windmills - Windmill World

And some interesting stuff on Windy Miller and his friends TrumptonShire Web ... utterly brilliant ... Trumpton I think was Chippy Minton & co. Then there was Camberwick Green with the firemen Pugh, Pugh, Barny McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble & Grub or was it the other way round ? Where did Windy live again ? and of course narrator Brian Cant.

Next week I will have to work out how to make a connection between Bagpuss and a fete nowhere near you.

Had alot of things to sort out with 4kingpoker behind the scene's and really not in the mood to play much in the day. The evening session brought a bit of a recovery but playing with virtually my entire bankroll was an interesting if not entirely sensible approach. i'm trying to play more cash games as I really need to get the hang of them - still a big difference playing at night when the choice of games and the % to the flop goes much higher.

I've decided I really need to get to grips with playing cash games - but I'm not totally comfortable with it - I'm not disciplined enough - so the plan is to do alot of quitting while I'm reasonably ahead, sit-out and play again - getting greedy has been my big problem and blowing progress on single hands when really I knew I hadn't got the best of it.

Day 294 ... Dead loss at Holdempoker ...

Wordsicle Watch As sure as Sir Alan Sugar has a hole in his ass I will continue to get wound up by wordsicles - those pointless meaningless words and phases of jargonese that idiots use to sound intelligent or make something totally straightward sound unbelievably complicated and inspired.

Interpersonal Skills - hmm ... that would be instead of inter planetary skills then ?

Actionable - instead of ... I / we / you can do it

Take it to the next level ... To the 3rd floor / the roof garden ? What's wrong with "We're crap do better" ?

Heidi LaFleche know's where we're at in her recent article she translated -

"Let's take this offline and drill down to the core value-added proposition. This customer needs a turnkey solution to improve its ROI. We're talking about sea-level change. Ping me later, OK? We'll do a brain dump."

into this -

"Let's get together to talk about what we can do to boost our customer's sales. Call me later, OK?"

Well having completely lost the plot yesterday I now seem to have lost the will to play today. My AJ loses to 67off, AA get crushed left and right with junk. Everytime I went in with a good % winning hand I hit a suck out.

This week Matthew I will be "unlucky Alf"

Something tells me tomorrow is going to be similar too, hmm or maybe a return to the mad side - either way I'm not feeling hopeful about my bankroll.

I totally lost the plot today - I mean super random and then unlucky but could have been patient anyway.

I was getting frustrated with just going up a bit and down a bit. So when the only available nearly full game was a $50 SnG I somehow convinced myself this was some kind of sign. Before my sensible side (screaming bankroll management) had a chance to step in I was sat at the table.

I played one hand badly early on and ended up committed - by the time it had got to the river I had managed to escape with barely 400 chips (starting stack 2000). Anyway the table was much wilder than expected and one player (unfortunately immediately to my left) was dominating with 12000+ of the chips and in no time there were 5 of us left in. At this stage I actually started to figure how long I could survive doing nothing and just pick up 3rd. But with only 300 chips left even with the blinds at 50-100 it was going to be a bit of a toss up if I could hide under a rock and get a place. I go through the blinds and find myself on the button with JA and a tricky decision -

On the one hand I could fold all the way round and hope (as everyone was short stacked, but not as bad as me)that 2 more players take themsleves out.

On the other hand I could see they were all starting to have the same thoughts and with the advantage of acting after the big stack (I had to act immediately before). Anyway I was going to have to make up some more chips even to survive.

So I decide it's now of never, I mean AJ isn't great but it might be the best I see in the next 3 hands and then I'd committed anyway. So all-in I go, big stack calls on the SB and BB folds - Ends up JA against 34off so not too bad - but I loose anyway.

Once I'd blown 2/3rd of my bankroll in one game the rest of it rapidly followed. So now I've gone broke at another site.

Guess I'll be at HoldemPoker trying to make up the shortfall. I've so far deposited $600 at various sites for this $50 a month experiment which will reach it's 1st brithday in June - so I've got a month to turn somewhere around $150 at HoldemPoker into $600. I'm not that optomistic but hell I'll have a go.

Day 292 ... $1 up at PokerHeaven ...

The first game of the Titan Series II took place on Sunday ... I came an all together unimpressive 46th out of some 94 entries but was rather pre-occupied with the slight technical difficulties of putting in a posting requirement to play in the tournies - turns out we had it on restricting the new members but not the old ones. Anyway all sorted now and as a result I think the forum is going to get a bit more lively. I've also been sorting out some more tournaments with Noble starting on Saturday ... more info in 4kingpoker stuff below.

• 4kingpoker Losses Update

PokerHeaven ... $69.00

$10+1 SnG full ... 3rd ... + $ 9.00
$10+1 SnG full ... 7th ... - $11.00
$10+1 SnG full ... 2nd ... + $19.00

$20+2 SnG full ... 8th ... - $22.00

$10+1 SnG full ... 5th ... - $11.00

$10+1 SnG full ... 3rd ... + $ 9.00
$10+1 SnG full ... 2nd ... + $19.00

Poker Heaven ... $69 ... + $ 1.00 ... total $ 70.00 (+ $20.00)

Think I lost the plot abit and got impatient waiting for a $10 game to open up and went in the $20 which was a bit daft as even playing $10 SnG's I'm well away from sensible bankroll management. Will try and be more realistic tomorrow.

Day 289 ... Marathon Poker session ...

• Fete Watch

Random pick of a fete coming up no-where near you ...
1940s Southern at War Weekend
Bluebell Steam Railway, East Sussex 13th - 14th May

Not strictly a fete but none the less a typically English weekend event - dressing up and going back in time - with the addition of steam trains. I have to admit there is still apart of me that likes steam trains and train sets, but I have no desire sit on a platform noting down numbers of passing trains.

I'm always a bit nervous around these re-enacter types ever since I did a job taking pictures of a couple who were into the Sealed Knot English Civil War thing and planned to get married in full costume and in character - then again I've also met a guy who had spent £10,000 making his British Leyland Princess into a replica of the Star Ship Enterprise Bridge so I guess it takes all sorts.

• 4kingpoker Losses Update

Ended up playing all through the night and I'd also started Friday with an early morning session just to check out if the cash games were still busy at 6am GMT.

I also decided to have a go at Poker.com with the $11 I'd built up from a couple of tournie wins - but it didn't prove very profitable so thats another emptied poker account to add to the list.

HoldemPoker ... $ 138.03

$25 cash 0.25 ... $ 61.75 ... + $36.75

$5+0.50 SnG full ... 3rd ... + $9.00

HoldemPoker ... $ 138.03 ... + $ 24.85... total $ 162.88 ( + $118.88)

Alot of fannying around to end up where I was first thing this morning really. The tournies in the night were a bit tricky as I ended up in the final three a couple of times at HoldemPoker & Poker Heaven at the same time - so was a bit of juggling which I'm not great at.

PokerHeaven ... $10.00

$10 cash 0.10 ... $00.00 ... - $10.00

$25 bonus cleared

$10+1 SnG full ... 1st ... + $39.00

$30+3 SnG full ... 3rd ... + $27.00

$20+2 SnG full ... 7th ... - $22.00

Poker Heaven ... $10 ... + $59.00 ... total $ 69.00 (+ $19.00)

Totally random night really I'd managed to do nothing much with the $10 won in last weekends tournie - but had managed to generate enough rake to clear the first $25 of the bonus - which I decided wassome sort of omen to go on an all or mothing SnG stretch - which actually paid off. The second game which I came 3rd in was a bit hellish
as I also made the final three on a table in HoldemPoker at the same time so it was rather difficult to play very tactically hence 3rd place when really I shoulh have held off going all-in with 55 against the completely gobby chip leader who seemed to turn on me as I had been playing very tight. Yes I called his all-in bluff with 10 Q over cards but my small pocket pair didn't stand up - with hindsight I should have just bided my time as the other guy was just as short staked and would have been blinded away before but at least I got a place but it would have meant another $30 profit. By this time it was around 4.30am and I was flagging - I'd pulled my neck (annoyingly badly) from sitting at computers all yesterday and it and a lack of sleep was beginning to take its toll. As the sun was rising and the local wildlife awaking I struggled to stay sharp in the the $20 SnG and although I got 3rd over at HoldemPoker I made a bold move on the best hand and got beaten on the river to finish 7th. Time for 45mins sleep before tomorrow.

Day 288 ... Backwards at HoldemPoker ...

Still working at least a day behind - didn't help leaving yesterday's finished blog as a draft and not publishing it but hopefully without anymore bank holidays for at least a week I will be back on track and into the routine next week.

Still going backwards at the moment. First game I ended up going all-in with 77 on the steal on the buttonand got called 2 ways both of them with AK - of course the the river brought a king. Came 5th in one of the $10 games - I had pocket 5's when the flop came down 589 I went in with a massive raise and got called by Ace 7 which made him a missive 20% dog to my trips - of course he landed a 4 on the river to make him a random straight given that he was well beyond anyone's boundaries of pot odds. Still on the whole it's not running so bad I'm tearing my hair out.

Wordsicle Watch ... Bringing you more of those pointless and meaningless words and phrases now known as wordsicles.

Result Driven - Rather than elastic band driven then I guess.

Incrementalized - It's the ize factor again, using the word incremental or increments is totally adequate

Systemized - Where do I start ?

Inspired Bullshit Bingo - Should make pointless meetings fly by, or the unemployment queue that bit longer.

The gobbledygook generator - Nice one chaps and they've also have The Plain English Campaign - At last an organisation who like me wants to fight against the wordsiclisationating of the planet.
