With the new year started, and as per my resolutions, ive started my cash challenge, put in some decent hours playing, and am updating this yoke hopefully daily from now on.
Played 796 hands on green joker 5/10 and 3/6 yesterday, it had been a while since ive played cash here, and im very happy to report that there were plenty of fish about. The site seemed softer than i remember it to be honest, maybe thats down to more professional table selection on my part, but at least 4 or 5 people got themselves buddy listed.
I ran reasonably, with my own brand of quite laggy cash play. 6 handed i tend to see a lot more flops than most people, profile individual players , and play a lot post flop to their weaknesses. My vp$ip is very high compared to most good players, but i think i made decent post flop decisions and like getting in pots with the poorer players.
A couple of setbacks, as is to be expected over 796 hands, my 3 biggest losing hands were as follows:
i limp on button with 76 suited after 2 limpers including one very poor player. The flop comes 89T rainbow, first guy leads for 30 pot, 2nd guy flat calls, i make it 100, 2nd guy (fish playing 32/4) flat calls, turn is a blank, he check, i jam he calls for his last 270 with JQ.
2nd one, different fish limps, i make up small blind with K8 of spades, bb checks, flop comes K85 with 2 clubs, fish bets 30, i make it 110, he jams for another 300, i call, he has aces and the 5 pairs on the river.
3rd one was with kings, where a guy opens to 40, another calls, i repop to 155, 2nd guy calls, flop shows AQx, i bet 2/3rds pot, get called, and fold to his 450 river bet.
Apart from those, it was good.
Won a nice pot of $1041 with JT suited after guy min raised pre flop with aces, i called pot bet on J high flop, T on turn and we got it all in.
Won another 1k pot with ATs, where i make up small blind , 3 to the flop, flop comes K high with 2 hearts, i bet pot, 1 guy calls, another makes it 160, a very solid player, we both flat call, turn is a blank, we both check, river is a heart for the nuts, i lead out, get put in by the middle guy, who has K6 of hearts. How he didnt re pump the flop with tp and 2nd nut fd i dont know.
Anyway, all in all a great day, a confidence booster and a sweet start to 2008.
796 hands played and an overall profit of $5,273.45.
Id like to graph profits year to date etc from poker tracker and post it in here, but im not sure how to do this, so if anyone knows, let me know !
On other matters, booked the hotel for Galway, heading down around lunchtime tomorrow, to be in plenty of time for the super sat on thurs night. They expect 400 runners, and a 2k each, thats a decent prize pool. I am 80/1 for this event on paddy powers.
We are booked into the best western, its 1/3rd the price of the Radisson, we got it for 100 quid each for 4 nights inc breakfast, and apparently its only around the corner.
As usual Ken will be coming down with me, and our scottish mate, Graham Clarkson is also coming over to play, so nice to catch up with him.
