Day 72 ... Friday 30-09-05 ... $ 62.05

Apparently they over racked some hands - and they've given it back - very honest is PokerRoom -
you cant fault them ... but unfortunately its only 5 cents.

• $5+0.5 NL sit&go full ... 5th ... - $ 5.50

And the BAD BEAT award goes to ... I limp in with Q 10 suited and the flop comes up K A J rainbow

I've made the nut straight with no immediate possibilities of a flush draw out there but Ive got beaten too many times on a slow play and the pot is a healthy $1000 ish so I go all-in with around $ 2000 to cut the field down to maybe one caller or just take it their and then - get one caller and he turns over 99 ??????

Yep you guessed it he gets runner runner to kill me dead

Turn comes down K (making him two pair) he still needs another runner to get me but I'm already sensing the bad beat and sure enough he hits one of his few outs on the river ... another 9

• $5+0.5 NL sit&go full ... 1st ... + $ 19.50

More like it and now I should play a $10+1 but I've got the 4kingpoker series to play tonight so I'll get on with some work on the website.day 70 $62.05 + $ 14.00 total $ 76.05 (- $143.95)

Now I'm really going to have to get my teeth into making 4kingpoker a success rather than a 4king disaster so I think my poker playing is going to suffer both in time and quality ... I guess this is where I should be telling whoever might be reading this to have a look at the site. But then I realise that this is all being put up retrospectively - You are not there because I am not here. The facts are true but neither of us we're hear to see it - take my word for it I was there - At a guess I'm probably dipping backwards and forwards between the blog, the links, the content and the webdesigner wishing I'd never started.

So for anyone who has randomly found this blog - liked it - and then had so much time on their hands that they're looking back through the archive - GO AND SIGN UP AT 4KINGPOKER, chat in the forum then PICK A POKER ROOM AND SIGN-UP -

And if your still reading then it's 13th October on a wet grey day and I am as predicted up to my ears in it - I've got neck ache from sitting at the screens writing this, some more content for the site, worrying about search engines, links and at the moment I'm not playing any poker. Still it is kind of fun.

4kingpoker.com goes live ... sort of ...

Day 67 ... $ 79.50

• $5+0.5 NL sit&go full ... 7th ... - $ 5.50

Tired - Shouldn't have played - Barely able to keep eyes open glad I quit while I was only one game down.

Day 67 $79.50 - $ 5.50 total $ 74.00 (- $146.00)

4kingpoker.com has gone live - well version v0.9 anyway - It's been a long struggle to get to here - I had the idea more than 18 months ago and bought just about every domain variation on the 4kingpoker.com theme. Then sat on them until a couple of months ago - well at least something at the url. Now it's there I just see how much work I've still left to do. And that's before I've even got anyone to come to it, before some of them join it, before a few of those sign-up to play online from it, before I cover the costs, before I can make a profit.

What idiot thought there was easy money to be made from 4kingpoker ? Anyone fancy a Pizza Me ?

No play - I think when I have got all this back dated blog up to date and 4kingpoker is up and running I will try to find something half interesting to say - After all if I haven't had time to play then I must have been doing something vaguely worthwhile.

Should have won - Total domination much to a couple of them's annoyance - If I can keep playing like this I'll be happy - but I need to know when to change gears and when to stay out of trouble - I only have myself to blame for not getting 1st place.

Not really going to plan - Playing very aggressive - which is definately when I feel I do best - but it all came a bit unsuck -
But all the games very different and a couple of them I really should have changed gears a bit more and in a couple I was a bit side tracked and not concentrating. 4kingpoker.com is starting to take over my life and it's definately not helping my game.

Lets hope I dont learn the hard way ... again

Day 63 ... $ 00.00

• Freeroll ... 902nd / 2400

Was doing ok - got up to about $3500 after about 45mins then got way too attached to pocket 8's and got rightly crucified by A7.

Rather sadly cashed up $44 - now this puts me 2 months in arrears - I absolutely cannot cash up again until the start of November - but I couldn't face playing freerolls only - I'm busy during the day at the moment so would have been restrictive. At least this way I have the potential to loose money anytime I've got some time.

What a bad idea that probably is - lets hope I dont learn the hard way ... again

Another job in Cardiff so between that and clearing the Milan conference stuff I haven't the time or energy to play tonight - Especially as the next game may well be my last - maybe I'm finaly stopping myself from playing when I just know I'm going to loose before I even log-in - Could be the biggest hole in my game.

I'd planned in staying an extra day to shoot some stock photography and hoping to have a look round Milan in some nice weather - got neither the weather nor the views. Yet again I come to a city where they have errected scaffolding around the interesting buildings - I sware they do it just as I land and then put it all back to normal as soon as I get to depatures.

Off for a few days working in Milan so at least I'll have a break from poker and hopefully come back able to do something with the woeful amount left in my account - I think it could be 6 weeks of freeroll reports -
It'll make an even duller blog than it is now - sorry to anyone out there who might even be reading this.

Dismal evenings play I didnt play well but it is a nightmare on the weekend - everyone will call with anything and they just dont seem to repsect a re-raise, even with the best hand - prob played a bit too loose but going all-in with KK preflop and getting called 3 ways then loosing to a flush on the river (he called with K7s) just isn't fun.

It's progress but not as we know it

Day 52 ... $ 60.95

Got saturday night free - so I'm going to play some cash games as its much looser with the drunks and fish

• $ 11.00 NL 0.25 cash game ... $ 16.90 ... + $ 5.90
• $ 11.00 NL 0.25 cash game ... $ 6.95 ... - $ 4.05

• $ 11.00 NL 0.25 cash game ... $ 26.45 ... + $ 15.45
• $ 11.00 NL 0.25 cash game ... $ 00.00 ... - $ 11.00

• $ 11.00 NL 0.25 cash game ... $ 18.20 ... + $ 7.20
• $ 11.00 NL 0.25 cash game ... $ 10.75 ... - $ 00.25

I hate cash games - my confidence goes down the pan - esp on fri / sat night - none of them seem to play with any kind of logic which then means I start to either play looser and moderately aggressive or more frustratingly I play tight and very aggressive to try and cut the field down - and still not many fold and I get out drawn.

I'm happy to take down a good size pot early and not get greedy but when they all call and get lucky it drives me bonkers - I think I must be missing something as your sposed to be able to take $40 hr - ok so thats 3/4 big hands I can live with being patient so I should be pleased when I only get one caller not 3 for an all-in ... and yet that caller seems to have the 3rd best hand and then gets runner runner.

• $5+0.5 NL sit&go full ... 4th ... - $ 5.50

Struggling short stack went all-in preflop with QA suited wasnt happy but I had to do something - got half a chance against JJ hit - I hit an ace on the flop but he made a random straight with a 9 on the river.

• $5+0.5 NL sit&go full ... 2nd ... + $ 9.50

Made plenty of chips from very loose lame calls with people playing off suit picture cards

• $ 11.00 NL 0.25 cash game ... $ 20.90 ... + $ 9.90
• $ 11.00 NL 0.25 cash game ... $ 00.00 ... - $ 11.00
• $ 11.00 NL 0.25 cash game ... $ 14.65 ... + $ 3.65

• $5+0.5 NL sit&go full ... 4th ... - $ 5.50

Had a perfectly good hand and was ahead until he managed to get runner runner spades - again sat night players just dont lay down real underdog drawing hands - even if you get them commited on the flop after a big preflop raise - I actually think I prefer to play the tighter Monday - Friday 9 to 5 games

day 52 $ 60.95 + $ 14.20 total $ 75.20 (- $100.80)

It's progress but not as we know it - spent a whole lot of time in cash games hoping to double up several times - didnt really happen - think I'd have been better off playing tournies all night but at least it seems to have been worth cashing up nearly a month early - really need to get some consistency and get back up to square

Day 51 ... $ 6.30

4kingpoker club game last night - Totty played in her first game for a while - and stole the show - she's definately my better half.

do my chips loook big in this ? + £ 70.50
the professor + £ 10.00

scrawnybob - £ 9.50
crazy legs - £ 16.50
fatboy - £ 50.00

Somehow managed to get the figures wrong again - I'm not going to take anyones chip count anymore - its just getting way to regularly out. anyway dmclbit came out very much on top and keen to get in the fray again. I got lucky with two pair hitting a full house on the river - beat a straight - I was short stack and really needed to do something.

thursday night running totals to date

dmclbit + £ 70.50
the professor + £ 28.00

fatboy - £ 1.50
the echo - £ 2.00
scrawnybob - £ 26.00
crazylegs - £ 65.00

Plan was to go into a cash game and get my stash up a bit - couldn't find a good game to chuck my last money away in - so here we are in prob my last $5+0.5 - nearly tempted to go into a short game but gone into a full table.

• $5+0.5 NL sit&go full ... 5th ... - $ 5.50

Ass w**k bolox ... Really wasnt my game ... 2nd hand 8Q suited I went all-in when the flop came down 88K - Happy when he turned over 89 ... Not happy when 10 A filled the board and left me with a split pot.

Ducked and dived but was in bad shape with 5 left - on the button I went all-in with about 500ish to steal the blinds with QA suited he turned over 78 and then watched the flop make him two pair.

So there we are Ive got 80 cents left in the pot - And I think Totty is out tonight so I could be having a fat session online.

So here's the dilema - Do I make an already boring blog (and my poker) more deadly dull by only playing freerolls to the end of the month ? Or do I use some kind of random justification to go and cash up next months $ 44 in the probably vain hope that I might actually do something other than come 5th every game ????

Lets face it you and I probably know the answer to this already.

Cashed up $ 44 advance on October money - dont feel great about it but we'll see if I can get my act together

• $5+0.5 NL sit&go full ... 2nd ... + $ 9.50

Reasonable start at least that might be the end of my run of 5th places.

• $5+0.5 NL sit&go full ... 1st ... + $ 19.50

Really good game - they were all tight as hell early on and made a bit of progress but trying not to get greedy too soon - which I think was where the hole in my game has been - Blinds got high with 4 of us left and was getting worried I was gona get sucked out - came through in the end - lets hope this carries on - It need to.

• $5+0.5 NL sit&go full ... 7th ... - $ 5.50

Oops

Now its Friday night - everyone is hopefully coming in pissed and so I wait in the cash games just takin cash for fun - Err Not

I think Ive got alot of 3rds at $5 games to go before I get back square but I think thats a better plan than moving up too early. I have to be realistic my bankroll is chump change and thats that.

Day 46 ... $ 71.65

• $10+1 NL sit&go full ... 7th ... - $ 11.00

Holding 44 flop comes down 554 - I figure if I go for it now I'm only in trouble against someone with 55 and I'm going to get plenty of action from anyone with a high pair or something like A5 - decide that all-in or fold is only choice as they could all improve and I've got to gamble a bit with what I've got.

Anyway get called by someone with 5 rag and they hit one of there only outs the missing 5 - It happens don't think I could have done anything else.

• $10+1 NL sit&go full ... 7th ... - $ 11.00

Should have moved back down.

• $10+1 NL sit&go full ... 8th ... - $ 11.00

Tired and really should have moved back down.
