October Results


Im a little late entering the results for October so I will keep it short;

As far as online results go I was not particular happy with the volume or results, I played a total of 892 games over all sites and a total profit of $2,307 with the only profitable site being Pokerstars.FR ($5,488) I lost on pokerstars.com again and 888 + party however the volume on them two sites was very low. The biggest score I had was on .fr where I came 5th in the night on stars for €2,221 I also FT the first €30 Monday night on stars 8th for €1,194. On my main site .com the month would have been horrid if it wasn't for winning 5 UKIPT Bristol seats for £770 each I also stone bubble 3x packages and 2/3 seats!!

Live Results:


There were zero live results this month the only live events I played was the French Poker Series leg in Mazagan Morocco. At that event I played the main event €1,100 with no luck after loosing a monster chip lead pot on the last level of day 1 with 66 on 468 against 57 and 78 for about 4x avg stack :( I also played a €220 and a €160 side with no luck. In that €160 side I actually folded a set of sixes to Tim Davie after he shoved the river on me, im still convinced that I was behind on a Q62h 8hAh board I read his soul and knew he had AA (he only showed me one ace). The trip in general was fun and I definitely recommend that resort and will be going there again, its probably the nicest hotel I have stayed in with good internet where we managed to get a good Sunday session in with no problems at all.

September Results



So what did September bring? well this month was obv going to be a big online poker month with the 2 weeks of WCOOP so it was heading to be a huge volume month...... Epic fail on that note my volume was the lowest it has been for months only clocking up 770 games over all sites. I didn't even play much live this month either, the only events I played were the DTD £550 (2 days) and UKIPT Newcastle (5 days). I managed to min cash the DTD £550 for £1k lost a flip AQ<1010 which was pretty frustrating as the field was so soft and had a bigger first prize than UKIPT Newcastle!! Very good tournament though great structure and always gets the fish will try to play this as often as I can.

Me and the devil fish at DTD lol 


 UKIPT Newcastle didn't go according to plan, I went there in 2nd position on the leader board and was hoping to pick up some points at this stop, this was a fail I made day 2 of the main event but was out in the first hour. As for the sides didn't really get anything  going made a couple of turbo ante levels but no where near the money in any. Since then the updated leader board has me in 3rd place still, pretty good considering I had no cashes next stop is the on-line event and then Bristol in November which I have already won 3 seats too (brag). Before this I am going flag hunting at FPS Morocco to play the 1k main event plus some sides, this should be very soft and might even see the outside world!!

Online Results


So rather than doing the graph for separate sites I will just do the graph for my global alias as there was nothing really exciting on any site that the global graph doesn't point out. But in brief I actually had my biggest online cash ever outright winning the Poker Stars Big $55 for $18,416.51 :) This couldn't come at a better time as I was in a massive hole on that site (Still in it!!) Felt great to actually win with no chop plus I don't thin k that with 25 left that I was not chip leader. I steam rolled the soft FT (obv ran well too). Didnt really have any other success on that site apart from the 3 Bristol seats and a few $1k cashes Total profit from Stars.com $11,904. Poker Stars France I actually lost money on for the first time on mtts my best result came in the first few days of the month coming 2nd in the Minuit Express (again) for €2,107. I did manage to get to Platinum VIP level due to playing 2,500 cash hands on the last day of the month. Total profit -$611.
888 Poker was again a low volume month but managed to win my first mtt on there which was a $16.50 turbo which I won $999.60 I also took 2nd place in a $55 6 max for $667 Total profit $70.56 Think I bricked every $100 mtt I played.
I only played 8 mtts on Party Poker loosing about $290 more volume needed for these euro sites!!!

August Online Results



So after coming back from Belgium on the 5th August it was back to the online grind, I was hoping to have another good month and put some decent volume in, hmmmm.


New site! 

I decided to deposit on another poker site and this time I chose 888.com as they have synchronised  breaks and the software is bearable, they also have a pretty decent tournament schedule. So I deposited $600 and started playing some scheduled mtts up to $100's (lol BRM, #takingshots) however this didnt go to plan, my best result was 3rd in a $66 for $600 made a few small ft's and was down about $350 for the month. I am still going to keep grinding this site as it seems to be pretty soft and I like the mtts they run.

Pokerstars.com

So yet again another bad month on Pokerstars.com thats 3 loosing months in a row now which has never happened before...... I think this is mainly because I have been playing a lot higher than normal and not playing 180s as much. Hopefully September will be kind, Total loss -$5,595


Pokerstars.Fr

Pokertars france has been kind for another month I ended up crushing this again and I won the Hot 33 for 2.8k euros, 4th in the night on stars for 2.8k and won a package to the FPS in Morocco next month :) so overall another $10k plus month. Total profit $11,389







Party Poker

My second month on Party Poker I only played 14 games and was down about $300 so nothing much to talk about on that site.

Trip to ESPT San Sebastian and Belgium


So my Small Euro trip started on the 25th July flying from London where I met up with Tim Davie. We were heading to San Sebastian for the Estrellas Spanish Poker Tour to play the main event and some dies there too. We flew from London to biarritz in France which was a hour train to San Sebastian. We managed to get there late in the afternoon and just had a look around. It is a very nice play and was meant to have like 12/13 Michelin stars restaurants more than any other town in the world. But us being degens did not make it to one of them lol. So we just had a wander round the beach and ate at one of the many tapas bars. Then we went out and got pretty drunk hitting bars all around the town... no photos im affraid :( 

Day 2 

SO we didn't have much to do today as it as the start of the Main in day 1A so another day off for us so we thought we would look around this place a little more, we managed to get to the beach although that is to stand at the edge. We we not dressed for a beach sesh so we just people watched for a few hours ;). 
Then the first poker of the trip was a €220 NL turbo this was going to be fun it was a pretty deep structure with everyone trying to play every hand for the first 2/3 level, THen when the turbo skills came up was funny to see how bad people were playing. I made like level 6/7 and a guy jammed cut off for 12 bigs (ish) I got 99 on the btn re jam same stack. I loose my first flip and gg me.
This called for a few more beers........ 

Day 3

Today we were playing the Main Event €1100 day 1b, I got a great table draw with some really passive players at the table apart from one Deutsch guy who wanted to play every hand (blatant fish). i played pretty solid for the most then we got redrawed after about level 4. I moved upstairs onto a slightly tougher table with Team Poker stars Pro Juan Manuel Pastor, only played a few  orbits here before moving again. This time to a tabel with Anna Marquez not a bad view for once :). 
Anna Marquez


I had some info on a few of the players as i actually took Tim Davies seat as he busted shortly before. So with a few tips of him etc the table played fairly solid with a couple of LAGS and a few coolers as well poor Anna ran kk into AA for heaps. 
Busto hand!!! so a lag opens UTG+1 and and other lag 3 bets btn im sitting there with 32 bbs and look at AQo it was like a dream.... So i reshipped it in there faces, first raiser insta folds and btn 3 better ask for a count before calling with JJ and a insta service window J meant I was drawing thin and dead on the turn..... gg ME!! 



Day 4 

Today was the 2 day €330 side event, ok so this was the tournament that I felt I had the best chance of winning or at least getting a Spanish flag at. Good structure and very weak field I think the total runners was 109. The start was very much boring nothing notable won a few small pots and I didnt get a stack going till this hand: I open with KQs from utg+1 some tard flats and a guy who has been tilting and i know he was capable of squeezing light ships it in for about 15 bbs I re jam for around 35 bbs and the flat caller tanks and asks how much and he tank calls with AK lol, the BB had Q9 so I am  in pretty bad shape and the board runs out 4310 rubbish board for me then the turn j made a huge sweat for everyone's hand and then the 9 on the river gave me the buts and a huge chip stack. :) From then on i didn't really loose my stack and went into day 2 as the Chip leader with 21 left. 

Day 5

So after making it to day 2 I had to go back at 3pm to continue to a winner. Unfortunately for me that night I had food poisoning and didn't sleep at all or be able to eat anything without it coming straight back out. I was in such a bad place and the last thing I wanted to be doing was playing a live poker game. TBH at the start of the day I was not a huge disadvantage because I actually played some really good fearless poker, especially near the bubble you could obv tell the players who didn't want to not cash. Some were blinding down to 2/3 bbs lol. When the bubble broke (12 paid) The final table started pretty fast after. 
I was 3/4th out of 8 going in as there was a double bust on the last two tables. I knew I was the best player at the table and I used a pretty very low variance strategy as these were the types of players who didn't like to fold. So hand by hand people slowly started spazzing out against other people, chips were flying about in crazy situations I would hardly say that there were any big coolers just people playing A10 like the nuts pre and acting amazed when they were running into the top of there calling ranges. I think during the 1 million chips in play there was 3 guys who had about 400-500k and managed to all be out 4th and lower. So we got 4 handed with a pretty solid Finish lad on my right, a Spanish young lad (chipleader at this point) and a older Swedish (very nitty). I got a double up straight away when i get JJ in vs KQ for 50 bbs so im now 2nd in chips. I have the BB with Ad6x and the Swede opens (22bb eff) and get flatter by the CL on the btn, sb folds and I decide to squeeze here as I am pretty sure that the Swede will only get the top of his range in here and then i can snap fold if he shoves. Anyway the CL flats the btn we see a flop 457dd so I know pick up a up and down straight draw with a over. pretty good flop so I c bet around 5/8's pot he calls turn 5x not a great card but at this time im still thinking im good, but i decide to CC the turn so i check and he bets a pretty big bet I think for a min then call. at this moment I am putting in on some diamond draw or floating with complete air. I think boats are not here unless he has 45s as i have seen him 3 bet pre with pairs before. The river brought the 10h which should be a complete blank. I check and he decides to ship it all in!!!! I have like 28 bbs behind me and with the two other players still in one has less that this and the other about the same!!! I had a massive ICM decision due to the payout structure, I tanked for about 2/3 mins before making a very quiet call....... villian tables 89dd and my read was right and with that call I bagged over 750 chips with 1 mill in play. Took me about 10 hands to finsih the tournament knocking them out one by one. The final hand was JJ vs A6o all in pre I held felt good.. Many thanks to my rail :) 

Chiiiipssssssssssssss



I won €10,700 for first, it is now my second live win this year and my biggest live cash ever!! 




Belgium To be added later 

July Online Results



So June ended up being a pretty solid month mainly to the fact of pokerstars,fr which I made over avg ($5,245) profit for. I was hoping for a similar turnaround in May, with also a small Euro trip planned at the end of the month. I also managed to maintain Supernova status on .com and Platinum on .fr.

Pokerstars.com

So it was back to the online grind for July which as you can see from below a massive fail in terms of result's from Poker Stars.Com. I think I only had one noteable cash the whole month winning a $35 180 man sng for $1.7k (volume was pretty poor).

Pokerstars.Fr

However on Pokerstars.FR it was a different story!! and a great month in fact on there once again!! I won the Fifty - XV for €1.4k and a week later i took down the Night on Stars for  €6,300, I also took second in the Need For Speed Turbo for €2.240 and final table the Big 5r.

Party Poker

It was also my first month on Party Poker I decide to start multi citing and result werent too bad for the first month of PP the volume was pretty poor tbh I have been adjusting to the software and good value tourny schedules. I did not manage to win a mtt this month but I got two runner ups in a $5.50t for $227 and $30t for $830 both nice little roll boosters as I only deposited $200 I think.

Also I would like to post (brag) about winning the Night on stars which is actually my second biggest online Cash!! I think I have the chip lead from about 17 players left and did not loose it once. Very straight forward and exploitable players left & managed to work up a deal on chip count (which>ICM) and i pretty much took first place. Was a nice day :)




 Gl to all online in August!!!!

June Results



June Results! 

Ok so after having a great month in May I was in a good place with poker. In the first week in June I went to play the Eureka Poker Tour leg in Bulgaria Eureka tour info here
I went there with Timmmy182 (Tim Davie) and we stayed in a nice 5 star hotel as I won a package for the Main event and hotel. We had a good feeling about this poker tour as it was the start of the work series and we were in Bulgaria (lol). Although poker wise it was a bit disappointing as none of us even cashed!! I made day 2 short in chips (15 bbs ish) and busted like the 2nd hand of day 2. But fortunately the weather was great and so was the night-life apart from the fact it was sworming with Germans!!!

Online poker on Poker stars.com was pretty bad I think I won about $200 for the whole month wasnt playing great and also the volume was a bit of a fail..... However this was not actually bad, as I finally decided to deposit on Pokerstars.fr. So originally I was just going to deposit a small amount and grind only the value mtts on a night. I then decided that all the mtts on there are value mtts due to how soft that site is!! I managed to turn 400 euro s into over 4,000 with only a very small amount of volume. I obv ran good as well and one night I won 2 of the turbo mtts :)

Screen shots of the mtts I won on the same night on .fr It was also my birthday that day :)





So overall June was a pretty good moth definitely saved by the run good on .fr
I have two Live trips planned for June first of all the Estrellas San Sebastian on the 26th July then off to Belgium for the Belgium poker series.


Oh and on another note..... After my main event run at UKIPT Dublin and 5th place finish in the 150 bounty I have managed to be 2nd on the overall UKIPT player of the year leader board after 3 legs.... So I have some added motivation to grind as many sides at the rest of the stops of this tour. Those who didn't know but this season they added the side events to count towards the leader board whereas previous years it was only the main events. They have some good prizes to the top 3 at the end of the season with the winner receiving  buy-ins and hotel for season 4!!

The Next stop is in Newcastle in September which I have already won 2 seats too :)




Gl all in May!!!!
