Another Sat win and May Accounts

Another win in a $40sat for tonights $250 European Online hampionship PL Omaha event. I was low for the whole tournament , never getting above 2500 chips, but managed to hang in there. Check the value out in these sats.. $3000 overlay for this one with 20 g'teed seats.....fantastic.....wish i had played a few more now.



Accounts for May

Poker Plex : up $300
PokerStars: down $30
Blue Square: up $830
Full Tilt: up $110
Virgin: up $60
Gala: down $80
Playing live: up $130 (up @ cash, down @ tourney)

In total for playing up $1320
Bonus of $250 and rakeback in region of $250 (150@plex &$100@FullTilt)

So +$1820 for the month.

and +$5345 for the year so far.

Bit more like it, although it has mainly come in the last 10 days. Of course I haven't included the two ECOOP qualifications in that figure or the 2x$109 GUKPT sat tikets. I will only include actual cashes in my figures. If I had though then months profit would be +$3366 !! VERY NICE

Tonights and tomorrows games are both on ipoker @7pm start. I will be on MSN on robbieboxseal@hotmail.com feel free to log in and say hi.

Am I a Luckbox !

'Stay Lucky JON' is my signature at a few forums and I can now find out if that is true.
Last night I was introduced to a new piece of software called "pokerEV" and it is Brilliant!
It can tell you how lucky you are on all hands that go to a showdown. Which is great for giving you more of an idea if you are still beating the game in the long term.

This is my graph at Pokerplex for the last week, playameing PL Omaha. A traditionally "lucky" game.



The green line is my REAL winnings and the red line is my EXPECTED winnings (or in other words what I 'should' have won). As you can see I was running good(lucky) for most of the week and then this morning have hit a bad run of all-ins and slumped a bit with my "luck" now pretty neutral for the week as a whole.

I just keep on rolling !

At last ! I did it ! Took down the BlueSquare league play-off game. I must have come in the top 4 at least 6 times before without success. But tonight I did it and a $1060 ticket to the $1.5 Million gteed European Chamionship of Online Poker (ECOOP). This will be my biggest event , in terms of buy-in and prize pool.



The big hand (luckbox) moment came when 4 handed. I pushed in with J,9 of diamonds to get called by the small blind and then to see the Big Blind and chip leader re-push, which forced out the SB. BB had AK and the flop brought two diamonds, and the 3rd on the turn. SB had been holding KQ suited and would have hit a FH. Nice protection for me !! hehe

I tried to do a deal with Blue Square to get the online seat transferred to live GUKPT seats but they were having none of it. Shame, as I really do want to play one of these bigger events and last year winning this would have given me a GUKPT main event seat. Also did a deal for 25% of the action in the ECOOP with "Logie66" when heads up. Funny, at the time it seemed a good idea, doesn't seem quite such a good deal now ! LOL

Sunday 7pm if you want to watch/play......not going to be fast tho.....5000chips and half hour blinds!!

Deal 'em good , till the early hours.

In the shade

Well Im back blogging again today.....because I'm still winning !! Its so easy LOL

An hour on Pokerplex for about +$80 and then an hour on Full Tilt for +$120.

I find FullTilt a really good site with LOTS of PL Omaha games. I also get rakeback @ 27% rate through thehendonmob.com I dont get a bonus there but like Pokerstars they have a pretty good online store and I'm almost half way to getting these little beauties

Play-off game on BlueSquare tonight and trying to arrange a way to go to Blackpool on Saturday for a cracking 15k deep stack,45min clock £200 jobby. Sneaks is up for it too.

Little surge of form !

Just an update as I seem to be winning and it is always nicer doing the blog when winning.

Poker plex has been all short stack PL Omaha this month, mainly $0.5/$1.

Last week has been good, here are the last 1000 hands on the pokergrapher again.


No Live games planned soon, next ones are probably a Grosvenor £150 link game (more of which in a later blog)and hopefully the PLOmaha rebuy locally on the 27th and 29th respectively.

110 chips to champ !!

Final Blue Square league game tonight. I started in 5th place, 4 points behind 3rd and no chance of catching top 2.

3rd and 4th got eliminated early, so I needed to come 7th or higher to get 3rd and 2x$109 GUKPT sat tickets. So there I am in 8th waiting for someone to go and it doesn't happen, next thing I'm low but hanging in. I go 3 circuits with my BB taking it down each time when all-in. At one point I have 110 chips and average is 5k !! I am really just hanging in desperately for 7th, cashing(top 3 only)is not a consideration. LOL
Then someone goes out, so I push in next two hands and amazingly three minutes later I am up to 5k myself. On this surge of fortune, I rush through to a chip lead and take the last 5 players out to win the tourney and $750 (+ the 2x$109 tickets)




Poker is a great game!

It's not Terry's

What a game!!

ManU v Chelsea, I'm talking about. A real proper game with both teams going for it, none of this boring "we dont want to lose this" type of game, but two teams who have great players and are so well matched. In the end it was classic drama too, almost film script type stuff, I dont like the idea of penalties (should be played out properly from a sporting ethos) but it is great entertainmant for the spectator. Don't share the sympathy for Terry, I like the guy he is a passionate and honest player even if he is too slow to be rated as highly as he is, but if he is going to take the glory for scoring the winner then he has to take the heat for when he misses too. He didn't cry, thank god, but from the look on his face you could tell he wanted a chinese type earthquake to hit just so he could jump in the hole and get swallowed up !!

Due to babysitting had to watch it at home until the missus arrived half way thru extra-time, so I popped down the local. Everyone was pissed, seems great when you've been drinking all game but when you turn up sober it just seems so yobish. Sneaks was in there (maybe pissed) and I forgot to mention his recent GUKPT at Newcastle, where once again he made the 2nd day, but then fell fowl of an IDIOT who called Sneaks (AQ) pre-flop raise from late position with (5,10), because he thought Sneaks was "at it". The flop came down Q,10,5. Absolutely Bogus flop and that was it ~ chips went in , no help . Unlucky mate. Bolton is his next GUKPT date in Sept.

Talking of big comps , the leagues haven't gone quite as I wanted, the Gala just hasn't taken off at all and dont think I will bother again there until next league starts. The Blue Square one has me in 5th, but no chance of catching 1st with just Sundays game to go. Can get 3rd tho, prizes for top 4 only.

Off all next week, so might try to get a live game in somewhere.

Tonight off camping with the family Hi-De-Hi.
