Rather than take on the tough(er) competition of daytime betfair players I thought I would play a few of the Crypto Headhunter tournaments. I like the format although I am not sure it suits my style of play. I think you have to get a stack early on and then bully opponents by going all in against them - not my style, but lets see how I get on.
1114 Game - £5 - Steady start up a couple of hundred. Dealt AQ, put in a standard raise and get one caller. Flop is A Q 7, two spades - I raise a decent amount caller reraises all in. Now I am thinking if they have AA or QQ then fair enough but more likely AK through to AT and decide its worth the risk. Oppo flips over K4 spades,turn is a blank but the river is a spade and its all over. No Heads
1214 Game - £2 - Good start, two early heads and up to about 4k. Bloody Thunderstorm means I lose the broadband for about 45 minutes. Got back in and had just finished just inside the money, plus the two heads from earlier.
1314 Game - £5 - Also affect by the loss of broadband cos of the thunder, having onlyplayed a couple of hands before losing connection. Got back in with only 800 or so left, waited for a suited ace but no luck. No Heads.
1414 Game - £10 - No good, no hands to speak of for the first 45 mins or so, then managed to get my all in with AK called by QQ. No Heads.

Top Tune
Not much of a music buff but I have just downloaded the Kings of Leon "Fans" and cant get the tune out of my head. Have a listen, top track it is.
Back on the poker after a couple of nights on the piss, and a home game last night. Very tired but have managed tocash in each of the STTs I have played tonight. I am not going to donkof a load this weekend like I did last week.
The spacebar is playing up onmy laptop so if any of my posts look a bit odd (more than usual) the thats why.
Tripled up plus a little bit in the home game which was a laugh, but didnt finish till 2 this morning, so work has been a drag today.
4 weeks to my trip to the sun, cant wait...
Good luck at the tables this weekend.

Having a 'Mare
Some of the more regular readers will realise I only usually blog when I'm winning but tonight I have been compelled to post over what has happened to me tonight. I have got the chips in when in front on so many occasions and have got done by some very bizarre outdraws to say the least. Here are just a few that I could find in the hand histories:
