April 10 Close Finish on EverestPlayed pretty tight, was able to change gears to keep my stack up. Manage to get qq when it was needed which saw me through the final table. got to the last 5, was the lowest chip stack but still fought for it. Went all in on my small blind with only 5k to go with a5, other guy had kj, hits his J, he wins 300 something i get 150. arrghh. Better then nothing Full Tilt Midnight Madness $16,000 USFirst cash in major online tournament. 5th $770.95 27/10/2007 September 28 Sports BettingJapan Trip around the corner so i decided to start my sports betting again. Few of you remember my days with SAGE in UK. and i use to do the Australia and German tipping for them. Ive posted my last few days results. and if there is enough intrest from anyone else ill post few days in advance and maybe you can try you luck. as you can see im 90% correct with soccer, %100 correct with baseball and about 0% with tennis, so i guess i wont be betting on tennis anymore :(
here we go anyway.
March 20 NPL Red Back 1st 14/03/2007With a 2nd place i was hungry for a win, i felt i could do it. So i booked myself into the Red Back hotel in noth melbourne.
Carrie played as well for the first time, very scared and did ok, tho was knocked out by the blinds after the 2nd break. Better luck next time :P
As for me i manage to make it all the way to the final table again. Only had one real scare when i nearly lost all my money against a full house, lucky i folded near the end left me $20,000. Was a good heads up match, but i love playing heads up, bluffing and reading the other person comes into factor more then the odds of the cards.
I went all in with 9-2 and he went all in with A-J
the flop was 2,6-3 good flop for me thats why i went over the top of him, he raised and i said all in, bang turn and river nothing i won. Kinda justic for losing last nite with the shitty 2.
Well last week i got a bottle of red, keychain, bottle opener for my effort haha , this week just a six pack of heiken or watever beer, dont ever drink geez. Tho i can say they make a great meal at this pub. So try it out.
March 07 First Sit and Go Tournament Poker Pro Crown - MelbourneWas playing poker pro and one of the host asked if anyone wanted to play, stupidly i put up my hand. First time in a tournament / table well its poker pro so wasnt to bad. Never seen so many folding in my life before, everyone played so tight. One important lesson i learnt, NEVER CALL. FOLD or RE RAISE, otherwise you will get spanked all the way back home.
I manage to make it to the end where i was head up against a guy called eddie, great guy, liked to talk trash to me since i was the new fish there. He had a good read on me he said, little does heknow i have no idea what im doing something so i dont really play according to the book. Sometimes thats a good thing sometimes not. I remember the last hand he had A-10 mixed, and i have K-10 hearts suited. he flopped a A on the flop and was celebrating, looking for his prize money, on the river i got my flush 10 high which got me 1st place.
I won $200 in prize money for a $50 investment, not great but good experince.

Outcome: $150 Win First House Cash GameJerome, if your reading this, your a great guy, thanks for inviting me to your game so you can steal my money. Seems to be calling me for high stakes game for some reason thanks!
Great game, very friendly buch of pinoy guys, mainly brothers, cousins and friends. Most are experience players few just like me so i guess it was kinda even. i remember buying in for $200, made a few errors, calling out of place etc usual dumb newbie stuff, but i did quite well i guess, kinda held up with them and didnt make myself look too much of an idiot. I can only remember 2 bad beats but not the details :P
I did manage to walk out $150 up so wasnt a bad nite, oh and i sold a PC also. :) ps. your windows vista is sitting in the shop when you are ready to pick it up.
