4kingpoker Losses ... I've been working so much on the sites I haven't had a chance to play online. We've not organised a home game for ages but hopefully we'll get back on it in September when everyone has done the holiday thing.

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.

4kingpoker Tournaments ... The next game planned for this Sunday at Titan Poker which is the 4th game in the 4kingpoker Buy-in Tour on Sunday 27th August 3pm EST for a $3+0.30 buy-in with $50 added.

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.
