Blogger tour event #5 Skinskis house of blues

well what a day!im sober again for another blogger event i think thats telling me something!!headed round to my mate Mat's (williamwallace666) parents place to watch the All Blacks play France!(The All Blacks winning 23 11) To my delight i started at table five with the host Skinski and a Kiwi mate of mine Cashline. Things got off pretty slowly with all of the players sizing up the table and we all picked up a few little pots. As the tourny progressed i slowly started developing my blinds with some blind steals and a few smallish pots! until the top 20 my stack stayed around 5-10k and i ended up grinding my way to 17th out of 17 which was pretty cool as it would give me ok points for the league but its fair to say i got very lucky!!!!i grinded my way 2 8th position from there winning quite a few all in on my blinds!! Skinski doing very well in his own event picking up 100 buks and 2nd place securing his postion at number one on the leader board!!! So all i all a pretty ordinary tourny for me as i didnt rally pick up too many big pots or god hands but folded well and picked up a lot of small pots!didnt see my mate Kanyezee play but he evidently got 30 something goodluck to the other kiwis in securing a top 20 postion and hopefully go to the Auzzie millions. Im Now sitting in 9th position on the leader board so im stoked!!!2 events to go and things are getting exciting!!

poker.com moments

well since i finished my exams and had 1 week off before starting fulltime work i decided id use some of my neteller money and deposit for the first time. I deposited $125 and on the same day recieved $20 free frompoker.com for being a loyal member of the blogger league!sweet deal aye!any way i started playing and afterday 1 ifound my self with 175 in my account making for a 30 dollar profit!i had a few up and downs but was playen real tight and grinded my way to a resonable profit. the next day i must have ben hung over oh thats right i was on the piss for melbourne cup (my three horses lost) that day i ended up down 14 buks taking my total to 161!which was ok considering my state stillpicked up about a thousand comp points which was good for my 100%deposting bonus! the next day i went home to see my family in Rotorua and sat down and kinda showed my dad what i do in terms of playing poker (coz i always tell him of my wins, he wonders how i can make that like i do on the internet) wow what a dream day of poker this was it wasnt long before i took a few small pots taking my yellowstone balance from 15 to 26 and then i hit a monster i had jj 2jk flopped betting was going like crazy cant remember exactly anyway a 10 cameon the turn which scared me with the straight draw out for an AQ i kept in the pot hoping for a river house and a king came on the river giving me the boat. I bet out 4 buks and a guy reraised me all in for another 15 mmmmm i hoped like hell he didnt have kings over something as hed takeme down but i decided to call as the pot was looking healthy and i had a pretty good looking hand, He turnded over 22 and i took down the pot with a bigger full house it was a $50 pot and my dad was right there to c it how cool! about two hands later those lovely aces apeared inmy hand i was like dad have a look at this! i raised the pot 1 dollar as it came round and there was another guy on my who wason the button who reraised me to 4 dollars i laughed this should be good i thought i reraised his reraise to 9 buks with the knowledgethere is no better starting hand than AA he then went all in over the top of me i thought must be KK so i called but the nut carried an aq off suit against me i laughed and took allhismoney and sent him packing. my bankrollwas at 81 buks on yellowstone and id only played 30 hands or so!i was telling my dad thats how ya do it while he was the calling me a jammy bastard haha!after that i travelled home back to Hamilton and told the flattiesabout my big pots and carried on. in a day where the poker gods were on my side it just got better, for some reason there were so many fish around i played for a few hours and by the end of the day had made 110 dollars profit!!!!!which is pretty good for yellowstone tables! So its the next day now and im about to go have a crack at it again should be good hopefully!!!

blogger event #4 iron girls omaha

well for the first time i wasnt hung over due to my last up and coming exams! i ws pretty switched on and t was a great tourny. from an early stage i was stacked and in 2nd place i hit a lot of great hands and just kept chippin away at gettin my stack bigger and bigger i hit a lot of nut flushes str8s,houses, and even a couple of quads!!! i got my stack up 2 bout 10 k and was leading the tourny,it seemed i couldnt lose hitting sets and housing was awesome!!!hand after hand i kept hitting a had a lot of starting hands with high or medium pocket pairs! my stack got up 2 25kish and i lead ight up 2 the top 16 when egolsen took my number one position over i hung in there to the final table of 8 everyone in the final table was relatively evenly stacked so it was pretty cool. a few fell cheaply to the likes of egolsen and freeroll i hung i there and picked up a few cheeky pots. in my last hand hit kkrags so rasied it peflop to be called by another player flop came 527 (or there about)with two diamonds giving my a pair of kings and the flush draw i pushed all in and he called with qq rags he hit his q on the turn giving him a set and leaving me hoping for a river diamond or a king for the 60k ish pot i got knocked out fourth feeling happy with my achievement but with the vad taste in my mouth knowing i was ahead when u went all in!oh well fourth should get me some good blogger points to hopefully keep me in that top 20 and closer to my trip to auzzie millions!!haha heres hoping
