Reading back I've been noting that I've been doin a bit of donking in certain accounts for the past 12 days or so. In a bid to help Jim Lang take advantage of a Refer-a-Friend offer, I signed up for a Ladbrokes account with a £52 deposit. Well, 6 days later, after only about 4 or 5 hours play and with only 580 Bonus points, I'm on the rail after a mix of reckless cash play at 25c/50c and some terrible beats. I'm still not sure I like the Ladbrokes / Mansion software - it's not as clear as iPoker, PS or FT.
I played in the APAT Italian Open last night and went out in a hand I shouldn't have been involved in. With ATdiamonds on BB I was raised in early position by chip leader 'hornibabe'. As this had been a standard and very regular bullying play for her with any A I shoved my remaining 4k only to be called by her AQo. Q flopped and I'm out around 73rd.
Well played to the new man-on-fire Telmison4 (BobbyMorton) for his 2nd win in a row and third final table in a row. I think the online points I have so far and those I'm left desperately chasing will have little significance if he continues in this vein of form.
My pal Charlie Curtis (janc) was going well again too. After a good run in Online APATs recently I wasn't surprised to see him up in the top 3 at the first break or around 5th at the second break - I didn't expect to see him out in 50-odd-th.
It was a good laugh at our table last night though. I was on the same table as CELTICRIVER so chat and side-bets were on! One of them, when we were both down at 3,800 just before the first break, we agreed that whoever went out first had to buy two EuroMillions tickets. It's not a great expense I know but when you get used to winning all the bets ...
Last week, in the Sunday Hundred Grand that Jim paid me into, we had a plan of slow and safely building chips. On the first hand though, having made a Full House with pocket 7s on a QcJc7c 8d 8c board, Jim got them All-In and was called by JJ for a higher Full House. That was the easiest $11 I've ever made.
And I'm sure this mornings emails to the Syndicate will be about our AA v AJ confrontation that happened last night ...
LOVELY! ;-)
