Im back!!
Well, im back from vegas - and what a time I HAD!!
I'm not sure what happened to my last post - I deleted it by mistake but I think I've got the hang of how to publish these blogs now!!
Well whats been happening?
Well Vegas was great!! Had a fab time out there, was good to experience 'Live' poker away from the online world and what a difference it is. If im bruatally honest, online poker is actually much easier - until you have the experience of live play. Sitting at home and clicking away means you can actually play really bad and lose and click into anaother game almost immedieately. With Live you probably wont play another game unless you playing a cash game.
Anyway, my Wsop experience was short lived - but I'll be there next year, thats for sure!!
I'mm still playing on Virgin - and nothing really exiting has been going on in terms of qualilfying for any events - well until last night that was!
I played the APC (asian poker classics) online final and top 4 got a $7500 package to India wihich has a guaranteed prize pool of $1m, so Goa here I come!!
I actually played really good for 3 hours. But i nearly ballsed it up when 13 people remained and i was 4th in chips (25000), with half a stack on 5th so in decent position and I had A10d. The theif on the on the table decided to go all in and i called with half my stack and faced JJ v my A10 - allowing him to double up, grrrrrrrrrrr.
Next hand i had AJ and called shorty for him to turn over QQ!! Argggggg.... and again lost the hand., leaving me with 3200 chips and in 13th position.
Well this was the worst 2 hand i played all game - before this i was throwing A rag, KQ, 77, 44, 22, and why i played these i just dont know. I hadn't lost hand all game befor this so i was pretty pissed off. Well i managed to steal a few of the blinds and double up and got myself back in 4th and with 10 left knew that I was in good position to qualify.
6 left and utg minimum raised to 6000 (blinds were 1500/3000). I reraised to 12,000. Everyone folded and utg went all in for 30,000. I immediately called with AA and my stack of 27000. He turned over KK , I had AA - and went into 2nd spot with 57,000. 1st had 73k.
Another 15 minutes and I was through (with a sigh of relief!!). So Goa here i come!!
