The Poker Beard

To simply denounce tournaments, ahem, I mean donkaments as lottery games, you pays your money and you takes your chances, to secure first places ? (Although my previous advice is still worth a £ or 2 of anyones money. Maybe.)

After all my “Gah, tournaments are’nt real poker.” & “I prefer cash games to buying lottery tickets.” comments, I took down the last APAT league game of the season last night in spectacular fashion as my infamous hand, 5-4 off despatched my HU opponent and a couple of others along the way.  Due to my somewhat, er, esoteric choice of hands I was in first position pretty much all the way -

While I was busting players with some less than premium holdings, it is nice to see the best hand holding up when it counts -

This was actually so well timed as the two opponents both had just over 30K while I had shy over 50K, thus they were the real dangers to me so a swift, surgical removal of them was just what the Dr ordered.

Nottingham have now promoted themselves to the top division in the league and it is rightly deserved as out of 10 matches, 6 were won by a Nottingham player.

I have been playing on PokerTime and using their free MyPokerLab software for a few months now & working with MyPokerLab has been most profitable, so I decided to make a little video demonstrating those results.

There are two versions with differing soundtracks, let me know which you prefer but I favour Pink Floyd -

However, Daisy Chainsaw is a total classic -

Well, to be honest, my results in the APAT WCOAP events so far has been absolutely dire in all honesty.

Out in the 1st round of the HU after playing really well and gaining a 2-1 chip lead, time and blinds forced a confrontation of my KQ against my opponents A2 and neither hand saw any improvement.

I was the first person out of the Stud event !  Some dodgy chases by some players imo, the excuse ?

“It’s limit”

Sigh.

The good news is the PokerTime logo did see a final table, I took 4th in one of the regular DTD tournaments which has made up for the past couple of days !

Later today is Omaha ! !
