New Year , New Me!!!

Date: Sat, Jan 8, 2011 Internet

Right this is it 2011!!! I have decided this is the year i up my game, dont get tilted by bad play , just concentrate and make a deep run. I have read Harrington on hold-em and through pocketfives hand advice and more study of hands, this is hopefully the year i make my four figure breakthrough!!!

The tourneys i am hitting are from £2 to $5 buy ins mainly MTT and of course the regular venture into the Sunday quarter Mill and Daily 80K Special on Stars are now a regular trip all be it lately very short. I am not gonna moan (well not too much) but most of the time i am just unlucky. A few things i have learnt, which most will probably know!!

Never use any more than 5% of your bank roll and always when you Busto!!! never regret the hand you played..... yeah i would do that again!!!


This year i am sticking with this plan!!!!

Good luck at the tables guys.

Tournament Torment!!!!

Date: Sun, Jun 20, 2010 Internet

Ok, when you are an up and coming player, you have to play tournaments at small buy- ins or even if your like me qualify for tourneys like the Sunday Quarter million. Even though i play a tight game with varience and a game plan, you always come up against some absolute half-wits who aint got a clue......I am getting extremely frustrated and wonder if ill ever get a big score at this game, with players who aint got a clue pulling off miracles, well i guess thats poker and if you are gonna learn at this why not do it the hard way.

Ok so my blog wil give a detailed account of all tournaments i enter and how i do!!

Starting with tonights Sunday Quarter Million on Stars( oh Stars why dont you like me) I have always thought that Pokerstars does not like me and likes to have me out of there before the money. Guess we all feel that occasionally, some more than others!! Me lately i must have done something well wrong because they love to give me bad beats. Lets hope that changes!!

So therefore here are details of my tournaments and each tourney i enter i will let you know if i Cash or Crash!!!

Tourney Sunday Quarter Million on Pokerstars

Well after an hour and a half of dealer dribble i got KK and no takers , just my luck all i did was min raise and everyone thought he aint done nowt for an hour and a half and they all folded around me....the plus's of having jack all game and keen watchers of the table spotting my move....damn!!!
i doubled up with 77 so was feeling better and thought my tourney life was going to change.....Then Pocket aces yes....Here we go ....Come to daddy!!!!


One guy min raised about four seats ahead of me and next to him an all in.... i thought yes a taker...then the next guy to him went all in also!!!! i was thinking oh no i know whats going to happen here!!!! I then went all in with 5900 chips (What else was i supposed to do) I knew however with the min raiser also going all in this was going to be a tight one. Ok ....deep breaths ill be ok. Min raiser showed A9 Off and the guy next to that guy JJ and the other 88....so a flop came 10 5 9 followed by a 7 then the inevitable 9 to give joker boy or girl a set of nines.

ALL IN WITH AA AND THATS HOW I WENT OUT!!!!!!!

What can you do playing against people who cannot play and thrive on luck...i know we all need Luck but....well with play like that i am never going to get that score i so deserve!!!!

oh and heres a great blog link

An Introduction!!!

Date: Mon, Apr 26, 2010 Internet

Hi everyone i am slinky252 an online poker player at pokerstars,this is my first ever blog and what i hope to achieve is a rapid rise in the world of online poker superstardom.Its not going to be easy by any means, but thats my ultimate aim, to compete with the likes of Moorman1,djk123,gboro780,Comandr_Cool,Mr Brizza,THE_D_RY,and the up and coming dean23price watch out for him!!!

I know that's only a hand full of some amazing players out there so my apologies. I mainly play on Pokerstars because i consider this to be the best site with Fantastic promotions and unrivalled customer service, that's just my opinion.



Playing poker now for two years and now i feel i am getting the hang of things especially MTT's . So now is the time to make a few deep runs in these tourneys. I have established this blog to let the world know how i am doing, and to pick up tips along the way, which will always be welcome.

At present i play very small stakes, the tourneys i qualify for are the Sunday quarter million and small mtts mainly the turbos with a buy in of $11. Trouble is at this level i get beat by 7 2 off many times when i have aces. I am striving to catch a break and get a lump sum so i can enter the bigger tourneys. i have only played the Sunday million twice, because i qualify through the $2 shoot outs or £3.30 re buys. not a bad record cashed once for around $300, to date my biggest cash.I am like a lot of players out there hoping to catch a break and help build a fun and decent bank roll. I feel that i am a whisker away from achieving this because i have ran deep in some of the smaller tourneys recently, a sign i must be doing things right. Ill keep you posted to see how i fair from now on.

So hopefully this is the beginning of a successful thread and bring on my first 5 figure cash!!! (we can all dream)

good luck at the tables!!
