Ok- Before i ramble and slag off half the poker community off. WE have reached $4,000 profit!
1,900profit sit ad goes,
1,300 leader board prizes (3x1st 350plus 2nd)
800 rake back and a couple of mtt wins.
Well to win three leader boards at small stakes takes serious dedication and is a good sign that the 100k profit is achievable! All i can say is that GNASHER8 GAVE ME a serious run for my money. Luckily when i got 7,000 points ahead on Saturday,he gave up, which is just as well as I needed Sunday off! There were times when I was close to hitting the poker "wall" but my desire and inner strength came through and i kept playing and playing and asking Gnasher the questions by playing game after game.
It is a good sign that I worked hard for this prize as it is hopefully a good indicator that I can reach the 100k by hard work.
In the betfair poker world, Duffs has left the site! Oh what fooking shame!
He is all what is wrong with England and in my opinion is a middle class twerp!
The plan for December is to make antha 4,000 and then start the new year with 8,000 bucks and make this to 100k.
Well a poker theory question for readers.
PHIL IVEY V DONKEY A
50blinds world series-both same stack early doors.
Ivey dealt qq
donkey dealt ak unsuited
Donkey goes all in- shows his cards to ivey- Should ivey fold?(even though fav)
Yes he should fold as he shouldn't go out level one on a coin flip when he can out play donkey a through the tournament!
So think abt that in the early stages of sst and heads up- don't push a draw etc if you know ur opponent will bled chips to you in game.
good luck everybody-apart from you donkeys!

TIPS FOR HEADS Up-Progress- And why Wulfman is a small time CHARLIE!
Well it has been a steady month on the tables. The quest has reached 2,200. This month we have made 1000 from stt games at low stakes and some extra money from rake back,leader boards ad a couple of good cashes on mtt.
Last week i came 2ND in the leader boards. I was beaten by a small time Charlie called Wulfman. He is a German guy and he is an average player and what makes the difference between an average player and a class act like me is decision making.
OK Wulfman V Cucumber99 (games we play on same table which has been many). I comfortably beat him at higher cashes in these games. One reason I do ca be illustrated by this hand. 20blinds Wolfman raises under the gun jj, i push with qq ad he calls. Ok he spikes a j. But he knows how I play- What would I re raise him with 20blinds- aa,kk,qq,ak- This is why he will always stay at low stake level and this is why I OWN him in our clashes.
The plan for the next 3 weeks is build up our bankroll a little more through small stakes and leader boards and then attack the medium stakes in DECEMBER.
I plan to play allot of heads up.
Some tips for heads up play.
Try to play the exact opposite of your opponent. IF your opponent is aggressive, play a tight aggressive game low blinds, you will catch him at some point and he will donk a lot of chips off when you hit. Especially if you’re calling in position.
Do not play an aggressive player out of position (fold hands like a2-a9) early doors. They will thrive if you play marginal hands out of position. Stop the oxygen and then aggressively with a hand ask the question.
For more advanced players, think about bet size. If your opponent thinks your week bets mean week, once he has cottoned, he will re raise you allot to test you. So fold a couple and if you hit a monster play it week and he is sure to pay you off. As he can’t wait to out smart you and it makes it difficult for him to make to many big raises to your value bets.
Any way good luck at the tables apart from Wolf man the small time Charlie and all you other FISH!
