Running like God, playing like Jesus.

As you can imagine this blog is going to be mostly about what a sick luckbox/genius i am. Having taken down the $33 rebuy on wednesday for a cool $3500 i havn't really left this sofa (i'm still lying on it as i write this). I've had to get up to piss and get food and drink and stuff but apart from that its just been me and my new best friend, hey when the doctor says rest who am i to argue? My sleeping pattern is a bit fucked up cause i keep sleeping for a couple of hours then waking up but apart from that i'm very happy. The television hasn't let me down (mostly paramount and mtv) and the poker gods have certainly looked after wendyx25 over the last couple of days.
Since the rebuy played another 6 tournaments on party and managed to cash big in two of these. First nice reult was in the super thursday which is a $150 buy-in comp. A few hands from this one:

The usual sick start:

This might look like a stupid overbet on the river but my read was that he had a 4 and the average player isn't good enough to pass so not suprised it worked.

Since the early double up had been grinding away waiting for a good spot and man did it find one!:

When your running well this kind of thing just happens i guess, cashy was on the table (we also had 10% swap) and he was giving me some stick about what a luckbox i am, think he has a point.

Managed to make the final table when this hand came up early on:

I have 0 fold equity in this spot so to move in i must think i have the best hand. It was really marginal because i can't put him on an overpair and thought that if he had J10 - A10 he would flat call to see what i did on the turn but maybe not, in retrospect think i got bluffed but i could have 2 outs so its not a terrible pass.

Didn't really get any good spots to steal and didn't find a hand for a while but a few palyers were knocked out so that was cool. LUCKBOX SHOVE:

This was the last piece of luck for me in the comp, ran AQ into AK soon after and ended up 5th for $1.4K. Played a good comp and was card dead for long periods so no complaints from me, it was good to be back on the final table so soon.

A couple of power naps, lots of television and a takeaway later the cards were back in the virtual air and i was off and running in the $20K gtd last night. After the standard donkey double up early on played this hand soooooooo bad:

To all the kids out there this is not how to play AA, at the time the 2 guys behind were playing quite loose so was preying having gone raise, call it might go raise call again and i can jam it but as it turned out this was wishful thinking. Make a standard fold on the river but if i play the hand like i should i get it all in pre v KK and win a huge pot at that stage.

This sucks:

Awesome turn card for my hand so of course we get it in, i hadn't done much swearing until then but i took off after that river.

Won a couple of flips after the bad beat which got me back on track then i had enough chips to show off:

Do i have to move in here?:

Not sure about this one, knew the min bet was weak but i think with the players behind i should just call, lucky i'm running like god or i might have been worried when he flipped AQ.

Onto the final table now:

How dare he raise my big blind! Even though i started the final as chip leader it was a shit start and i thought it was just gonna be one of those bad days when this yukky one happened:

Another dream spot:

Shame about the result, 2outs and he hits them both which was nice.

Won a massive coinflip to make it 3 handed but then lost a huge one with AQ V 33 to give mr quads a big chiplead. The standard of poker was relly high 3 handed with loads of stealing and re-stealing going on and thought that the skill level was about even. Darkhand won a couple of massive hands against ripcurl and either side of those i gambled it up and of course came out on top:

After this darhand took out ripcurl and we had the same chips so was more than happy to deal and take $5300 to round up a couple of great nights for me online. 3 Final tables from 8 comps is awseome and have ended up winning about $10K in 3 days which is about as good as it gets. Been running great obviously but more than happy with my game and amazingly havn't tilted much at all.

My mate Alec 'the boy' howard was watching the final table from his uni house in Norwich and we were having some good banter over the phone which was cool. After the final we had a look for a juicy cash game to muff around in, omg did we find one! $1/2 6 max game, average pot$180! Basically just this one belgian dude who was one of the biggest donkeys i've ever seen. He was making it like $75 pre, then he would limp, betting $2 into a $100 pot then $150 into a $5, calling bets with jack high on the river, oh it was sweet!! wish i had saved some hands but me and A lec were to busy weeting ourselves at his antics. At 1 point he started getting lucky and got up to $1900 but soon spazed it off! The thing is with players like this you need to make some hands cause bluffing is not an option. Lucky for me i did we got it all in pre with me AK v 33, AA v AK and JJ v kk so the one time he had me crushed i still won, so sick! ended up winning $900 net profit which was cool and he spewed $2000 ish all over the table, the waiting list got up to 5 but he left after an hour and of couse i left the hand after, well done to Alec for a good spot! And well done to the poker gods for making me an absolute Luckbox! time for a power nap.
