No Poker on the weekend for me

Well, for the first time in a long time, I didn't have a game of Poker on the weekend. My better half decided to go to a "Rave" with a good friend of hers. This meant I had a night with the boys :)

What a night it was.......We started at the Pub at 3.00pm in the arvo*, come 13 hours later I was still standing (well not stading, but leaning against the bar). Yes folks I was as full as a public school bike rack (and I ain't dissing Public schools, cause I went to them most my life).
I don't know how I got home, all I remember is waking up facing the wrong way in bed. I'm sure I was still drunk too. Needless to say, I picked myself up, spun around on the bed and went straight back to sleep.
Sunday was a write off, I did manage to play in a Tournament online and finish 31st out 6700 people I won a meesly $1.30 (it was just a freeroll). So that kept my mind off being crook* anyway.

Arvo = Afternoon
Crook = Sick

Rightio, I'll ya's later.

Well I set up a Tournament the other day in which i posted a $100 bounty on my head.
My second hand, I was dealt Pocket Aces (A hearts and A clubs), I raised 300 chips (my stack was 1,700), the flop comes down Q, 4, 7 all clubs…….I've flopped the nut flush draw and have top pair. I'm first to bet; I go all-in, thinking no one would even attemp to call me. One guy did, i turn over the Twin peaks, he flops over 10 8 clubs (or something like that)……..Un-bloody-believable. Turn and river didn't help me 1 little bit.
That would have to be one of my worst beats to date in my short Poker career.
Such are the joys of Poker i guess

Cya's,

Well welcome to Dave's "WordPress Poker Blog". It's a sight for sore eyes at the moment I know; give me a little time and this will be the most talked about Poker Blog on the Planet (yeah right).
Firstly, I'm not sure who's going to read this stuff I stick up here……It's mainly going to be just about what's happening in around the Poker Rooms I look after. I'll throw up the odd poker story or "good yarn" as we Aussies like to put it, nothing beats a gripping yarn, a story that tickles ya ribs and makes ya piss yourself with laughter; don't take that literally either, it's just Australian slang - something you're going to have to get used to in this Blog and something all the world will be using in the future (yeah right!!).
Ok, by now you're probably thinking "I've heard enough from this idiot"……Let me leave you with this question (it's one i asked all our Poker players recently):
You're sitting at a Poker Table (six seater $5/$10 NL) in Vegas, you're unstoppable, winning about 75% of the hands dealt, no one can read what you're doing. About 2 hours into the game, Phil Ivey sits down, you start talking to him and realize you're both getting on quite well. An hour passes and you're carrying on like you're the best of mates, Phil's enjoying telling you some stories and you really enjoy listening to them. The only problem is your stack is disappearing to him faster than hungry man downs a Big Mac……What do you do? Do you continue to play and be good buddies with Phil or do you shake hands take the cash and go on your way?
For interests sake; let's say you started with $1000, had $3500 in front of you when Phil arrived at the table and now only have $1700.
I'll post my answer in the next blog……

Catch ya later.

Dave
