This Week's Investment...

After a profitable Cheltenham and some luck in the 10c/20c PLO on Betfair, the time has come to re-invest some profits.

PS Sunday Warm-Up Lev I - Lev VIII

I found this cool [free] hand-history replayer and thought I'd share my Warm-Up win in full, with anyone bored enough to watch through it. You can identify the pots I was involved in and jump right to them, if you don't want to see all the cards I folded.

This is the first eight levels, it caused the replayer to cough a bit when I tried to load 760+ hands at once! Further installments to follow...

Amusing Exchange In The Chat Box...

While playing the APAT League tournament on Betfair last night...

To set the scene, I am the big stack at the table (got 'lucky' a couple of times), David3103 open raised from the CO on my BB... fold, fold... I 3bet push over the top... he tanks til the time runs out and folds...

David3103: hmmmmm

One orbit later, David3103 open raised from the Highjack on my SB... fold, fold... I 3bet push over the top... actually get an all-in call from the BB (Oooops!)... David3103 tanks til the time runs out and folds. Having seen my A5s outplay the BB's QQ (KKK 7 A obviously)...

David3103: hmmmmm
MagicAl: you hmmmmm a lot
David3103: you 3bet a lot
MagicAl: you raise/fold a lot
David3103: hmmmmmmmm


Well, it made me smile. :-)

It's A Funny Old Game...

According to one source, until the blog entry was deleted (Google cache to the rescue!), I was 'totally outplayed' in the big game at The Pigeons last night... although the seven crisp £10 notes in my back pocket and the prestigious winners trophy on the mantelpiece* suggest otherwise. Better to be lucky than good, I always say. :-)

*OK, the trophy is not actually on my mantelpiece, I left it at the pub as I may not be present in two weeks to defend it.

And in other pokering news... a couple of weeks after setting myself the challenge of moving up from number three to be the top ranked Oxfordshire player on PocketFives.com, I have made no progress whatsoever! I am currently re-assessing the future of this quest and may have to find a more achievable target... like winning two WSOP bracelets in June!!!

After busting out of a couple of MTTs one evening last week, I embarked on what was probably a bit of a 'tilt' cash session. $2/$4 LHE was game of choice and surprisingly I ended up winning $70, another session on Saturday netted another $69... I had forgotten just how bad a lot of online limit players are. I may have just re-discovered a cash game I can beat, I'll let you know after another 10k hands.
