How Bad It Has Become

I guess it was Saturday so drunks are about but some of the stuff ive seen tonight just proves how the standard online is often beyond a joke. Im not complaining although i was in a bit of a rage from a few pots i lost i had good results all night without getting the luck required to get 1 or 2 huge results.

Examples:

$109 - Playing 400xbb in a deepstack game i make it 18xbb to go preflop with KK, guy with 250xbb calls then min raises my flop bet before i go allin and he instantly calls (not priced in at all) with just a flushdraw and hits - Rage Rating 8.5/10

$109 (same as above) - Playing 31xbb late guy makes it 3xbb to go, i go allin with 99 in the sb and he calls with K10std and hits. Rage Rating 9/10

$109 - Playing 8000 at 75/150 on betfair joker playing 5000 makes it 450 utg, folds to me in the bb and i just move allin with QQ. He calls with K9off and hits a king on the river. Pot was to go 2/80 halfway through the field - Rage Rating 9.5/10

$55 - Only playing 9xbb but 6 handed raiser makes it 7000 to go (2400bb), folds to me in bb and i make it 17000 (10,000 more behind) with AJ. He puts me allin with 22, unbelievable why raise so gay in the first place. Eg if he makes it 9600 preflop i prob fold as my move over the top was very marginal and i knew this. Obviously i miss and that was busting in 11th/270 - Rage Rating 8/10

From Thursday:

£100 - limp 30 raiser makes it 120 2 callers. I go allin 2100 with QQ , raiser folds but caller playing the same stack calls his whole stack off with 22 and hits a 2 on the river - Rage Rating 9.5/10


Obviously i want all most of the above to come along for the ride but it drives me mad when dribble play is rewarded, especially for a massive or key pot. Anyway as always looks good for the future. Had steady results yesterday 3 cashes were: 5/52 $82 game (lost 2 coinflip against the same guy to bust when 5 left) : 11/270 $55 game bust above bit gutted but just didnt happen at the late stage after getting a monster stack all preflops maybe 3 or 4 in row lost : 10/104 $55 game, was stacked in 2nd for a while but was trying to bully and ran into a monster and didnt really recover. No regrets from any of the 3 above and if i keep playing like i did tonight its only a matter of time before a chunky result.


Got quite a lot lined up for tonight, im trying to get into the top 400 on crypto leaderboard for tournaments as Littlewoods have a great promotion going regarding the freeroll you get. As well as it being the network wide $25k freeroll (max 1000 players but i know its a lot less that enter) you get $100 in cash and if you make the final table in the freeroll you get a full EPT package worth 10,000 euros ! As i only started on there Wednesday its touch and go if i make it this month but this and other promotions going has convinced me to play nearly all my tournaments for cryptologic network on Littlewoods in future months.

If you dont have a Littlewoods poker account and play several tournaments a month on the cryptologic network its well worth signing up and playing. You can use the banner at the top of this blog and sign up through RAKETHERAKE to take advantage of this and a few other promotions they currently have.

Other promotions include getting a refund when you bust on the bubble in certain tournaments and also huge value in the WPT/EPT final where you can get a 2nd chance if you make the final table but dont win. If you do win they throw in a GUKPT seat worth £1550 as well on top.

Its not very often i promote promotions on here but it doesnt affect the value im getting much if others take part and for me these are great promos which give me extra motivation to play along with much needed targets to focus on.
