You know its a bad day when you oversleep in the morning but trust me, i wish that was the severity of my day - sadly not.
My pool team was short of players with one working and one on holiday so i tralled through my phone book and managed to pull what i thought to be a miracle, at the time, out of the bag by gettin ex -uwe team mate and 2x uwe singles champ Chris Daymond and my fella HESPC England team mate, Mark Williams, to bolster the side. I thought that this would be enough to beat the Slayers and hopefully steal back the lead that the Undertakers have over us at the mo, and that lead is only one point.
So i ask you all, How?! oh HOW?! did we draw 8-8 with the Slayers, this is no disrespect to the Slayers as a team but they are a team we have had no trouble beating the 2 times prior, with a lesser team to be fair.
To be honest i thought the result would be worse as we went 7-3 behind, but managed to win 5 straight to take the lead with Marno to play. Hmm and play he didn't!
Individual results - Jackie 0/2, Matt 2/4, Chris 2/3, Mark 1/3, Dann 3/4
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
i decide to go home and play some poker on the 10p/20p tables, playing two tables at the same time i think of maximising my profits.......hmmmmmm
the odd suck out and then i start flowing, picking up of the Donks, and gettin so so so paid off when i hit trips, straights and a full house too.
Then i get dealt AKd on table 1 - i raise to £1 and get 4 callers - flop comes K 7 4 multi-coloured.
i check, bb raises £1, i reraise to £4 and he calls.
turn 8, i bet £8 he calls
river 7, i check, he bets £8, i push all in for £16 he calls
you guessed it - he called the raise with 7 10 off.
Hmmm so i look at the other table that i had steadyly built my buy in to £35 quid, and i look down at AQh, in the bb - Yummy
Someone raises it to £1.50 in mid position, a couple of callers, i reraise it to £4 to represent some strength and get one caller, the guy in mid position. ????whats that about????
Flop is nothing of interest, 10 6 2 rainbow
OOP i play aggressive and attack the flop with £3.50, he raises (this i see as suspicious, if he had a made hand he would call no?)i call.
then an Ace!! money card baby, i push for remaining £20 quid he calls with - KJo!!!!???!!!????
hmmmm River card - Queen........straight for the fish!
Hmmm i hate poker somedays

Gay
Gay, Gay, Gay, Gay, Gay....................
Played a bit of 10p/20p cash this evening....yes i know its not a lot but i am just getting back into work and am poor so have to earn my bankroll!
After being dealt 8's, Aces, Kings and Queens one after the other and hitting trips with each, i got nicely paid off and turned my measly £10 into £37 so decide its time to experience the Will Hill £6k Gaurenteed, at £20 entry i figure why not, after spending 3 hours in the freeroll earlier to combat boredom i feel more than ready to beat these fishes and buy in.
Sit tight early on, not a lot and there is a lot of playablilty with the slow blinds.....lovely!
Only hand of interest early on consists of some Donk raising half his 1500 starting stack in the second hand into me with QQ in the big blind, so raise the remainder and he folds?!?! Hmmmmm :)
Blinds pass through me what seems like an eternity, and i feel its time to change gears......sadly gear stick got stuck and im getting myself into awful situations in which im fairly confident im screwed so fold, a few were quite good (folded top 2 pair on turn when opponant had trips) then the fatal hand hits, still only in level two.
Before u say, i know its early on and i prob shoulda laid it down, but i had a gut feelin he had little pair, seen him push earlier with 3's and 5's.

Bastard is all i can say, lol.
Back off to the cash table after some munch to try and increase my measly bankroll....think mtts are a bad idea at the mo starting with my mini bankroll. the smaller ones have no profit to be had, and cant really afford the larger ones, so back to the 5p/10p tables. Finding i am winnin at least one buy in a session at the mo, so thats prob the way to go.
Just cant wait to go back to the bigger tables, i miss 50p/£1 and £1/£2 oh the days before being broke!!!
At least i have a decent paid new job so the bankroll will be increasing soon, woop woop.
See you later off to Donk some mor

My Opening Posts
Right, a brief over view of what is going on.......All this is, is a blog of my passions - so pool and poker - just keeping a track of whats going wrong or hopefully whats going right in the world of the Shooter!
To Start:
26th June, Singles League vs Josh Craze.
Hmmmm all i can say in bastard!! haha, for those that dont know Josh is a 15year old Welsh Youth International of 6 years experience and a different class. He has won the singles league last two years only losing two games in total - one to me 8-3!!
Josh brought it tonight, he had 3 break and dishes and 2 dishes of my break, NIGHTMARE. So out of the 6 "contested" frames of the night i won 3 and in hindsight i made some silly mistakes......but it definatly felt better gettin my ears fixed......hmmmm
Also played my outstanding match vs Gary Francis tonight - another loss, great. A scrappy match in which the favourite in each frame seemed to lose their way. Gary is a great player, finsihed 2nd last year but this is one match i feel i could have won, i did have the chances.
So after 5 matches in the singles league i am looking pretty bleak in midtable, hopefully not another shit year like i had last year.
Results so far -
Won 8-3 vs Matt Burton
Lost 7-4 vs Neil Rogers
Won 8-3 vs Andy Crawford
Lost 8-3 vs Josh Craze
Lost 7-4 vs Gary Francis.
Got 4 matches in the first half left, Stu Fletch/Chris Newman/Jon Meadows/Al Mavity so really need, want and expect four wins there - but sadly the enjoyment has gone.
Time to spend my 9ball Champion bar tab from 2 weeks ago!
