one eyed jacks are wild: January 2009

http://oneeyedjacksarewild.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

One eyed jacks are wild. Friday, 23 January 2009. Still on the de-cline. Not too much to report except for some more losses unfortunately. Poker can be a pretty cruel game. When you're losing it's easy to question why you even play the game in the first place and without the confidence my game definately suffers. So, what's the damage? Saturday, 17 January 2009. More down's then up's. A few leaks in my game which I need to sort out:. Calling raises OOP too much. Monday, 5 January 2009. So, this week has ...

one eyed jacks are wild: small cash in the WCOOP

http://oneeyedjacksarewild.blogspot.com/2009/09/small-cash-in-wcoop.html

One eyed jacks are wild. Monday, 7 September 2009. Small cash in the WCOOP. Folds round to serial raiser in the cutoff (stack 110k) and he makes a standard raise to 4k. New player in the SB (Stack 80k) flat calls. I'm in the BB with 50k and squeeze it all in the 63o. Surprisingly I get two calls! Lol Cutoff reraised all in with AK and newbie calls with JJ. Good timing. Anyway i came 391/8538 for $580ish. Not sure about playing some more WCOOP, I'll see how the sat's go. 8 September 2009 at 14:53.

one eyed jacks are wild: February 2010

http://oneeyedjacksarewild.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

One eyed jacks are wild. Tuesday, 16 February 2010. First live cash in london. Oh well- we still get that full english in putney and its pretty awesome seeing all the commuters get on the tube whilst you are just coming back from the night. So overall, really fun night and a bit more live poker success, sure my good luck live will run out soon. would love to play more there but don't have the roll to play in it properly, so i think i'll just go a few more times hopefully on spontaneous trips! The button ...

one eyed jacks are wild: December 2008

http://oneeyedjacksarewild.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

One eyed jacks are wild. Monday, 29 December 2008. Last week I had my biggest cash ever in a $10r, 5th place for $1.7k which I'm really pleased about but at the same time a tad annoyed as I came into the final table leading in chips. First place was $6.5k, but at one point I could of easily come 7th or 8th and obviously to get to the final table I won a couple of flips so I can't be too greedy! Friday, 19 December 2008. The last two days I've been back playing I'm about $400 up which is a good base to bu...

one eyed jacks are wild: August 2008

http://oneeyedjacksarewild.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

One eyed jacks are wild. Sunday, 31 August 2008. Back in a bit. Monday, 25 August 2008. After 8 days of not playing I was quite looking forward to my first session back. Maybe it was a reward for getting more organised and handing in a project from work, because my first session back was a good one. I've been sticking to the satellite's and straight away I qualified for a $320 tournament. As usual when your winning in poker, it all felt a bit easy. Tuesday, 19 August 2008. Tuesday, 12 August 2008. For th...

one eyed jacks are wild: going in cold

http://oneeyedjacksarewild.blogspot.com/2009/11/going-in-cold.html

One eyed jacks are wild. Monday, 9 November 2009. Until yesterday, I hadn't played online in the last 6 weeks. I don't have internet access at the moment, so it's not really on the agenda. However, all the WSOP build gave me the itch to play so I couldn't help enter one of the sunday majors last night. Active villain makes it 1k UTG 2. I make the call with AJo on the button. Big blind comes along too. Flop: (Pot= 3,200). Ah, 10d, 9s. Villain leads for 2k. 3s (Boards A,10,9,3). I shove for 5k more. But ev...

one eyed jacks are wild: September 2008

http://oneeyedjacksarewild.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

One eyed jacks are wild. Saturday, 27 September 2008. Big loss.big save. I hadn't played poker all week due to finding my feet in London and being busy with getting started on my new course. However, by Thursday night and coming back home I decided to hit the tables. I won entry to both a $215 tourny and a $110 tourney. I also had a poker first for me: set-over-set-over-set. Obviously I had the top set. Wednesday, 17 September 2008. It's all in the head. At the table and what frame of mind. To mix up the...

one eyed jacks are wild: New Years in Vegas!

http://oneeyedjacksarewild.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-years-in-vegas.html

One eyed jacks are wild. Saturday, 6 February 2010. New Years in Vegas! 8 days in Vegas over New Years? Have been back now for nearly a month so this is a bit of a delayed post. I wrote down some of the key hands to jog my memory and I've just gone through these main ones. So, here are the hands I played. The BB and myself check a flop of Qs-8d-4s. And so does the BB. The turn and river are both 4’s, and I start to think I lose to an over pair, oooops! This was a great place to play poker but the tournam...
