Off Out Live tonight!

Have been bored shitless playing online lately so I am off to the local (20 miles away) casino for a bit of a tournie. It's a decent little £20 holdem game with the ability to have either a rebuy or an add on. Only the one is available so hopefully this will cut down on the nuttiness a little. That and also the fact I can look the mupp in the eye!

Report to follow. Tournie starts at 8pm so if the report arrives before 10pm expect some choice language!

GL & all the best kenny!!!!

Good luck Kenneth.

Gl my friend, do as u always tell me...patience and u will succeed.

All the best buddie.

gl khenny m8, take it down!

oh and top up straight away if it will let you, as soon as someone gets over starting stack + half....
far more use to you at the start then after break...

Is Khenny back yet ?

Ok so back a little earlier than planned but not really much I could do about this one.

I got 22 first hand in, I was bb. Mid position min raiser sb all in, and original raiser calls. AK v QQ first hand QQ holds up.

That particular hand I am mentioning as it contained my best starting hand of the evening!

Didn't see an A of any description until hand before break when I got A2 again on bb. Flop came down Q72 rainbow 3 players in the hand. I check, there's a raise and a re raise so I fold. Trip 7's take out AQ.

I manage to get to the break with about the same chips I started with due to a little stealing etc but I am the table shorty and it's got a little looser over the last hour or so.

First hand after the break I get AQ (I almost shed a tear of joy) and am 2nd to act. I raise to 1200 and decide if anyone re raises then I am lumping as I have been stone dead card wise since it started. Everyone folds to bb who lumps all in. He has me covered by about 2000 so I don't hesitate and call. He flips over AK! Flop comes Q high and I am doubled through. Still one of the short stacks at the table but feeling better.

Couple of hands later I have on bb and there is one limper (nervous old boy) and the sb with me in pot. Flop . Sb checks I do too. Old guy puts in 600 half pot bet sb folds I call. (should've raised big here but called too quickly). Turn comes down I'm pretty happy with this as I think he may have J10 JQ and the flush threat would be enough for me to raise him off it. I check to see what he does hoping to re raise him all in and fairly sure he'd fold. He checks and river comes down I have a quick look at his stack and announce 4k bet which after him counting leaves him 100 chippies. He thinks here for around 5mins (I kid you not) and I'm catching the dealers eye and nodding towards him as if to tell him to make the old guy decide!

After his nap he eventually decides to call, holding back his 100 chips for a startling come back should he lose this one.

He flips over and I can't help it. A guffaw of laughter spurts forth, followed by a "what the feck took you so long?"

"I was really worried you may have a higher flush" says Mr Nervy baws. I had to reply. "There would've been scorch marks on the felt if I had that hand m8, so fast would I have put me chippies in"

Totally fucked up read by me but hey we all make mistakes. This left me with about 1800 chips and I duly shoved next time I had position and half a hand. My K7 ran into A7 and it was on with the seat warmer and back up the road. Ho hum.

Cheers for writing up your exploits, do you play much live ?

Not as much as I want to in the future. It's a different game and one I would very much like to focus on more.

The problem is that you take an entire night (usually) out of your schedule which can be 6 or 7 MTT's if I am in the mood for multi tabling. It is also cost m8, as online there can be similar 1st prize rewards for a fraction of the buy in live due to the size of fields.

Not going to stop live play though and will increase it as time goes on.

I have similar issues as I really believe I'm better live. The time is the biggest killer for me. That, and the fact they don't spread hilo.!

As I have probably mentioned elsewhere, I am more a live player than I will ever be an online player.
