Just got through a pretty massive weekend and a very enjoyable one at that. The fun started at myn on friday night with a 10p/20p cash game at the flat with 7 players. Amazingly i managed to lose 32o pounds in the game playing very badly indeed. From around 9pm to 6am was actually up around 50 quid and playing well, lots of action and was winning a lot of pots with a combination of strong bluffs and made hands.
In the space of 2 hands however things took a turn for the much, much worse. First lost a 120 pot against blubbs with 97 V 1010 on a board of 6 7 10 7 all in on the turn. He played the hand very niceley and i had to make a decision on the turn to raise him all in or fold, i made the wrong one. I had been up since 11am friday morning so the fact it was 6am on saturday didn't help my thought process. I get away from the hand quite easily if anything but a 7 comes on the turn and it was a bit of a cold deck but not to worry. The next hand i played was one i will not live down for a very, very long time indeed. Just a bit of a backround on ben 'big cheese' warwick': i've been friends with ben since the first year of university and lived with him for all 3 years. He learnt to play poker in the first year and fell in love with the game early, adopting a tight stratergy with the ability to pull a big bluff atthe right time. He plays for very low stakes online and has always made money but could have made a lot more $ if he was playing at the level he should be. Anyway ben raises to 80p in ep and cashpoint calls on the co. I lookdown at AJ sooooted in the sb and make it 2.6 total only for ben to re-raise to 6 poundish and cashy to fold. I should fold here and would have if the hand before i hadn't lost a big pot. So i say outloud that i think he has KK, make the call and check in the dark. Flop comes JJ3! BOOOOOM! To my suprise ben checks behind but despite this i still read him for an overpair. We both have over 100 infront of us and i think he wants to half disguise his hand and half keep the pot small. I hit the ace on the turn to make a full house and bet 10, ben thinks for 3 secs then calls. A king hits the river and for some reason i bet 20 quid, Ben raises to 60 and i pretty much insta fold face up sayingthat he has KK or AA. Ben flips Q6 and i can't believe it! The problem was i made up my mind what he had way to early, Ben also likes to make his moves on the turn or river and not pre flop. For this reason when he 4-bet i just pressumed it was a big pair (making my call even worse). Anyway the hand bought a lot of laughter from all the boys and i had to take a lot of banter then and no doubt in the future will have to take a lot more. For Ben's take on the hand check his blog http://www.benwarwick.blogspot.com/, well played sir!!!!!!!
After this hand went on mad major monkey tilt and lost another 220 in about an hour, with 10p/20p blinds that is quite impressive. Was just playing awful and i made sure that Ant won all his money back by trying lots of dumb dumb bluffs. Then i lost 100 quid on a game of pro evo going down 6-3 with Bayern Munich V Bayern Munich. Despite the tilt and the money was still in a good mood and having a good laugh. We went for breakfast at the local cafe then came back via the bookies (-50) for a cheeky pro evo tourney that i did not win (-5). So i was stuck an impressive 475 quid on the weekend that i managed to win back in about an hour online. Ran really well winning $800 at $2/$4 nlh then another $200 at$0.5/1 PLO , poker is such a great game.
At 1pm on saturday Mike, Ant and i headed off to Reading for an all day piss up with a load of the other guys from uni (still no sleep). Got to the hotel at about 3pm, checked in and went srtaight back out again on a pub crawl that ended up at the union. Was tottally shatterd but got through the day somehow and had a great laugh. Four of the lads are going travelling for a year so was good to give them a good send off and by the time we got back to the hotel at 1.30am on Sunday was out on my feet.
Am working the next three nights and thursday day but Alec is coming up friday so gonna hit the tables on friday and saturday which should be fun and hope to make some more money then.

Nice write up Cannon, can't believed you stayed awake until 1:30am, I literally could not keep my eyes open anymore at 8pm!
Just searched your Party alias on google and found this little gem:

I cannot believe they give you credit for AQ in this spot. Love the background though: "The villian is a tricky player & has been playing back at me relentlesly" Sounds like classic Cannon.
