Some Hold'em hands

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 15:33:30 +0000

I haven't posted any NL Hold'em hands for a while. I've actually been doing pretty good in the last eight weeks or so at NL 50/100 and 100/200, which has improved my confidence after the miserable run I had at the start of 2007.

Loads of Hands

Fri, 04 Jan 2008 11:51:02 +0000

I mentioned in a previous blog that on December 30th I was down $180,000 playing two tables of $50/$100. The games were against Emily86 on Betfair, and they play much bigger than a regular 50/100 game.

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 12:19:26 +0000

I have had a big rollercoaster in the last 4/5 days. Been playing $50/$100 up to $250/$500 PL Omaha and NL Hold'em. Here is a pot i played in $250/$500 NL Hold'em...

GUKPT Final

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 16:08:15 +0000

It didn't go to plan! We started with 15000 chips and I lost a fair chunk on the opening hand. Blinds 25/50... I faced a raise and reraise to 600 to play before I looked down at AsKs in the big blind...

Back to the old days

Thu, 29 Nov 2007 09:49:39 +0000

I have been having huge swings just as i did at the start of 2007, when i was playing a fair bit of 50/100 and 100/200 PL Omaha and NL Hold'em...
