Hello, hope all is well - hope you all had a nice Easter :-)
I played pretty much every day since the last blog, I managed to run well in the 16 euro re buy on Ladbrokes and won it for the 2ND time which was gr8, such a good value comp.
I do remember on the final, I could hardly keep my eyes open, as I had no sleep the night b4, I think it's all the red bull I drink, I'm basically hooked on the stuff, and it prevents me from sleeping properly, but if I don't drink a few, I'm in a horrible mood all day, and feel like I haven't woken up properly lol.So I don't remember too much about the hands, I think it was pretty much ABC throughout and the last 3, they were pretty tight players, so I just took advantage of that and chipped away at them, until they played back me.
I was really looking forward to the Easter tourney on there on the Sunday, you started with 10k in chips and I felt it was a good structure, and with a overlay massive value. I started off well, got up to 14k just by bluffing here and there, but played relatively tight, then I find AA, I think it was on the btn, the bb calls the raise, the flop comes Q high rainbow, he leads out, so I raise he re raises me, to like 3250 and I shove all in, he has 7k behind and calls with Q8 off suit, and rivers an 8. It tilted me so hard, and in the end I got it in with QJ vs AK and lost.
I played the 20 re buy on there which was a 10k gtd, and came 2ND, so it wasn't too bad for the day.
On the Monday I played the 6k gtd on poker encore (ipoker) and came 2ND in that to get a little profit, kind of spewed that, when I 4 bet shoved with my favourite hand - 75 spades and was up against A10 off and he held.
I did not play much after that until the last couple of days, which maybe I shouldn't have, as I have not got even close in anything which is pants!!!
I have had NO runs on stars for what seems like AGES and it's really starting to annoy me, My backer let me play the satellite for the UKIPT in cork, thought if I could bink that, then I could have a nice break away so kill 2 birds with 1 stone, but that was not meant to be, when I squeezed with AJ clubs and the guy who flat called the original raise took me on with 66 and held....
I have took advantage of the bonus they were offering with the free scoop ticket, so I have a couple I can play, and will have to see if I'm allowed to play any others.
Tomorrow afternoon @ the Big Slick in Croydon is a £100 f/o with a 6k gtd - 15k chips and a 30 minute clock throughout, should be a good comp, it had 75 runners last week, it starts at 5pm so if you fancy a good comp, you should head down there.
The 7Th of May I will be heading up to Dusk till Dawn to play the £300 monthly deep stack, I am hoping for a really good run in this, as this year hasn't been great for live tourneys, so hopefully I go far, and get a nice holiday weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lololol.
I want to try grinding harder than ever before, my mum has been pretty ill, she has had some serious operations and still has not recovered fully, it would be nice if I could earn enough to give her money each month so she does not need to work, in my way this is how it should be anyway, she has bought me up throughout my childhood, I just want to make sure she stays around for as long as possible.
I hope everyone watched the wedding at the weekend, and I thought she looked great and they kept it quite normal too, which was good.
Until the next time.....

Live pokers & Headaches
Hi der! hope your all OK...
As a result of winning the 200 on Ladbrokes the other week, I asked Bankroll Supply if I could use some of my profit to play the Monte Carlo, they said it was OK, maybe this was a poor decision on my part, but I wanted to play it, and felt if I could get chipped up, I would have as good a shot as any to win it.
Everything was going OK on Day 1, until I lost a big pot with KJ on a KJ3 board vs Q3 off, which turned a 3 ...
Day 2 and I had 45k, knew I needed to make something happen, I woke up feeling crap, was not the best preparation for a 1k tournament, my back was killing me all day, I could not get comfortable sitting there.
Anyways I have about 80k at this point, and a guy opens for 7.5k, a shorty goes in for 18k, I am in SB with AJ, I decide to isolate and move all in, the O/R calls with AK, *gulp* until the turn comes a Jack and I dble up.....
Julian Thew gets moved to my table, he has a few more chips than me, and offers to swap 5% which of course I snap off....
I get tangled with a guy pre flop, and decide to drop my hand, get moved to Sunny Chatta's table, he has all the chips, and he's on my right...
At this point, I cant find anything, I lose my bottle vs a player who has Ace high, and just dwindle from then on, it was pretty sick to watch me collapse like that, in the end I find J5 off on the btn, and shove my 50k over the line, the bb calls with A6, flop A5X gg.
I did thoroughly enjoy the tournament and on a different day, I defo would have gone deeper, but that was my time...
However, it WAS JULIAN THEW'S time, and bless him, he went on and WON it for £60k! - I'm so happy for him, and obv very grateful he offered me the %. I am going to give him 5% of the next 300 I play, hopefully will be in a few weeks, as a way of saying thanks, really couldn't of happened to a nicer person.. :-)) - Sunny Chatta came a close 3rd, and from what I saw while he was on my table, he played awesome, really pleased for him too, seems a really class guy, and very good poker player :-)
So this weekend there is a really good comp on Ladbrokes, it is a £320 buy in, starts on Saturday, and is a 2 day event with a whopping 750k gtd pp, there are loads of cheap satellites running for it atm, so get on there, it defo is worth a shot!
There are a couple of good comps over the weekend on Ipoker as well, so will be mostly staying in over the weekend trying to get a good result...
I really need a result on stars too, now all the Americans have gone, maybe I got a better chance, as less runners etc, but something needs to happen soon lolol
I will hopefully be moving within the next month, I spoke to the council and they said I was 2nd on all properties I bid on this time, so they said I should near enough get the next one I bid on, atm there are no 1 bedrooms, but give it 2 weeks, I'm hoping I can get one ! The upstairs idiots have gone on holiday so I will get some peace for a week wayyhayyyy :-)
Things are moving quite nicely with the solicitors atm, hopefully this can all be sorted soon, costly, but effective. Happy Easter everybody, at this time, I think more about my dad, as this was a very special occasion for him, being a catholic etc, so hope he is having a glass of vino and a meat feast pasta up there in heaven :-)
That's it from me, have a good Easter and hopefully I will be 200k richer by next week LOL

Winning Sunday!!!!!!!!!
- Hello there, hope your all well and enjoying the lovely sunshine that has somehow fallen into England the last few days :-)
- Last week, I continued to lose, which was not much fun, at some points, felt like crying, frustrated and annoyed with myself that I had been playing so badly.. Last night I railed Chaz on poker encore, he came 2ND in a 35k gtd f/o, was ul to run into a hand at the end, had he won that, he would be collecting a 5k$ Vegas package, courtesy of Karl Marenholz, as a bonus for winning that tournament, you can also win this package if you win there main comps (1 for each day of the week), for the next 8 weeks, check out there site, http://www.pokerencore.com/ and get playing to win your free package for VEGAS :-)
- This morning I was pretty tired, I woke up too early because the sunshine, I had been grinding online with my friend Gavlaaaaaaaa over the weekend, the change of scenery did me good. I played 2x 30 euro satellites for the £190 30k gtd on Ladbrokes and did not win a seat, and then @ the last minute found a 5 euro f/o with one 5 euro add on, and managed to ship the seat! I was card dead for a long way, and at one point thought I was going out just b4 the money, and then I got some decent cards, picked my spots well, and got to the final table, I had average chips, and took the chip lead 4 out, when I got real lucky with my 74 off suit bvb vs 55 on a 234 board, the river pinging a 7! - After that it was plain sailing, and I managed to get h/u with a nice chip lead, and the final hand was when I limped with Q6 off, it came Q,8,7, chk chk, turn J, I chk he bets, I raise he ships, I call he has J9 and we HOLD!!!
- I picked up 9000 euro for that comp, which was well appreciated as prior to today I was in about 4k$ make up, so hopefully if I don't go nutz by the end of the month I should make a profit....
- Tomorrow I am going to see my Mum, just chill out, probably go and see my Auntie as she has just moved in to a new place ... Then Tuesday, I will be playing the high roller on Ongame, as I won a seat last week for 54$, but the site crashed so did not get to play it, the only downside is I will not be able to watch Man United whip Chelsea's butts in the champions League LOLOLOL - bye bye Chelsea, you had a good run and all that, but it's your time to leave, gtfo weeeeeee.
- I will also be trying to play the 30 euro re buy satellite for the Monte Carlo, either Monday or Tuesday, I want to play this REALLY bad, as I have missed every one so far, and it looks such a sick tournament, it would be lovely to play, so one time I hope I can bink a seat!
- On the love note, ( I always have to include this lol) - I think I am going to stay single forever, and not waste my time anymore on people who do not make any effort with me, it's too frustrating, and very upsetting, I am not going to try anymore, nor put men first in my life, I feel there is no point wasting my life away over someone that clearly has no interest in me.
- On that note, I will say goodnight, I am going to watch the Inbetweeners now for the millionth time on DVD, and try and chill out, my best advise to anyone who cares, is live your life, the way you want it, travel as much you as you can, and make every second count...
- Thanks for reading, gl Dreeniee82

Swings and Roundabouts
Hi all, hope your all good... I have been playing constantly since we last spoke, I have lost every live comp I have played, and also tried to change the habit of a lifetime and try winning @ live cash, which I spectacularly failed at. Overall month of March I won for Bankroll Supply, not as much as I wanted to tho, the last 10 days have been pretty much horrific, mostly due to just playing terribly :-( On stars still in a little bit of make up, not too severe tho, so hopefully will get a result on there sooner rather than later. Last night, I was up for the grind ahead, I had a bigger schedule on stars, being as it was a Sunday, and I was looking forward to it. I qualified for the Sunday Warm up on there, I still had the starting stack after 2 hrs, then I find JJ in bb, I get a re raise and a short stack shove in front of me, and decide to fold pre, was up against KK & AK, however the flop was J77 *sigh*. After that, I tried to pick up pots here and there, just re stealing pots tbh, not many gd hands the whole way through. Somehow I had got to 260kish, when I raise with AJ and the btn re raises, I have 90k more than him, so I decide to put pressure on him, we had tangled a bit b4, and I didn't actually give him any credit for a hand, he snaps my shove off with AK, the flop came AQ10, turn K - - - river - - K - so lucky to get the perfect turn card, then snatched straight away from me with a cruel river. I ended up coming 180Th for just under 700$. I also had qualified for the 200k on ipoker for Bankroll Supply, when I flop the nut straight, and get a 4 way all in, which I hold, I feel good, and am expecting a big run. Unfortunately I have 122k with blinds @1k/2k I decide to limp with AQdd, and I get the table retard (c/L who can't miss) raise it up to 8k, I'm oop, and decide to flat, not wanting to put a lot of chips in the middle pre flop, the flop comes AQ2 - rainbow, I lead out for about 10k, he flats me, @ this point I am putting him on a lower ace than me, maybe even KQ, and when the turn brings a 5, I lead again for half the pot, he calls, and the river falls a Jack. @ This point, I honestly think I have the best hand, I 100% believe I am getting called by all lower AX, even AK (if he's that blessed), and maybe even KQ, he is that bad, but but but!!! - He snaps me off with K10, GG, FML - I finish around 165Th, and do not even cash. Just couldn't believe that tbh, felt uber sickness inside. I also qualified for the Ladbrokes £320 200k gtd last night, I played solid throughout, was down to about 4500 from a 5k stack, the guy had just lost a big pot (quite a loose juice), I raise on btn with A10, he ships from BB for 3850, I call he has A9 It ends up making him a 4 card straight on turn and river, and I am left with a bowl, which I get in a couple of hands later and am out!! so irritating! As a result of me losing and losing, I am going to take a couple of days off, I fear I have lost the passion for it a bit, I am playing highly under pressure, and tbh am not sure if this is what I want to do, when it's going g8, it's the best feeling in the world, but having no real security around you, is highly stressful, and playing to win, so you can live the next month is also very pressurising. I went to the solicitors on Thursday and have been told that it is going to prove very costly, and the case will have to be conducted over in Italy as that is where my Father died, once we get recognised in an Italian court of Law, we will have equal rights for shares of everything etc, this will take a long time, a lot of persevering and a large sum of money. One good thing that had come out of all this mess, is that I am now talking with my brother again, I have asked him for some help with it, which to he has agreed, and I have put what I can towards it at this moment in time. I got stopped by the police last week, and fined £200 fine and 6 points, for having no insurance, was very silly of me, I was going to get it done within the next week, but took a risk driving it late at night, and it backfired spectacularly, truth is I can't really afford to run a car right now, tbh I can't afford to do much, as my priority's lie with paying off debts, and ploughing money into the court case. Things look pretty bleak at this moment in time, I always have faith that they will turn around, but it does get me down a lot, with the constant battling of it, I have to learn to have a back up plan, and try and keep something for a rainy day, otherwise only you, and you alone will suffer. I plan to sleep, hopefully for days, as I need to get my head straight, about lots of things, lots of things on my mind atm, and feeling very lonely with everything, trying to carry it all on one's shoulders is probably not the healthiest of options. Nearly everyone of the people I know were playing BBP london live this weekend, just gone, congratulations to Pete, well done to Gavlaaa, Jemma and Johnny Kelly for making deep runs too, epic field, sounded like a gr8 comp. For now, I say goodbye, and I hope that next time you tune in, the blog will have much more happier stories to tell. GL Dreeniee82

hummm....
Hi guys, hope your all OK, and been winning lots!
I played the 100 f/o at the Gutshot on Tuesday night, a whopping 160 runners made it a great prize pool with 5k going for 1st and a great atmosphere all round. Unfortunately, I did not last long, I was in the wrong frame of mind to play and did not play well at all. I slow played 2 big pairs and got what I deserved, the 2nd one, literally donated him my chips.
So on Wednesday I played online, and was in 2 comps near the end of the night, and just super spewed out of them like a total donk - doh! Was not best happy, this is something I have tried to curb for a while and thought it was working up until then zzzz
Thursday I put in a lot of volume online, I had the Vegas Team Challenge to look forward to, on Ladbrokes. There was like 600 runners for it, which made it tough as so many loose juices, but managed to bag a decent line up for it, my team consists of Sunny & Chaz Chatta, Karl Marenholz and Myself, I reckon we could have a good chance to get that Vegas package (one time let the dream come true!). I had my stack up to like 20k, then get dealt AK spades, UTG limps for 500, I make it 2500 UTG +3 - all folds to him, he calls, Flop : 6,5,Q - 2 spades, he just shoves his 10k stack in, I call and he flips K6 dd - the turn and river brick, then I get it all in with him with QJ hearts vs his K9 off, it comes KQX turn and river brick and I left around 250Th or something boooooo !
I then carried on my normal comps, and could not get any finals, min cashing in a couple, overall pretty bad night.
I asked my friend to put me in the £220 f/o @ Equal Chance, a 15k starting stack with 20 Min's blinds, and 10k gtd to the winner, I fancied my chances in this one. I got there a couple of hours early! and had something to eat, which was lovely, then got ready to play, 115 runners gave it a great atmosphere and I was really looking forward to it. The poker gods had something else in mind for me tho, I could not hit a single flop, and when I did hit top pair or something, the guys behind always had stronger zzz - Finally I get AK dd, make it a 450 raise with blinds @ 100/200 the guy in sb who has lost a pot ships his 4500 stack in the middle, I call, he has Q7dd - It was looking so lovely till the 7 smacked the river marvelous! - I was in BB next hand with 2500 behind, a girl raises, someone flats, I stick it in with A3 dd, they both call, and the flop comes J105 2 Diamonds, I fancy my chances at this point, but no the poker gods said NO, and the turn and river bricked and I was out the door, sigh.
Earlier on in the day, I had been to the citizens advice to enquire about finding a solicitor to represent us with my late Father's estate. They gave me a number of an Italian Solicitor's in London, which I phoned, and spoke for a while. I explained the situation and asked them to help me get an affidavit from my mum ( a solicitor has to be present) as he is not on our birth certificate, so everything is proving difficult. Also I asked if he could help me find out the exact addresses of where my father was laid to rest in Italy, as I would like to go and see him next month, and get some closure on this. The initial appointment is going to cost around £150 and then we can take it from there, this should be sometime next week, so I am hopeful about this.
After leaving the Citizen advice I was very emotional, and rang my mum and started balling my eyes out in the middle of Woking, I have found it really hard over the past year to accept that people would go this low over money, to not inform you of when and where he died etc, I never went to his funeral, and no he never financially supported us, however, he always wanted what was best for me, the last time I saw him in the hospital, he was crying my name and holding onto my hand, and he is and always will be my Dad. I really miss him at the moment, and no matter what I say or do, nothing is ever going to bring him back, I regret so many things about my life, and just wish that things had of been so different.
Part of the reason I think I am care free with money is watching him getting older, he never spent a penny, and he died lonely, so a lot of the time, I sit and think, what is the point?
My main problem is that I get very lonely at times, It's like something missing from my life, that I am craving for, I just hope I can find it soon....
Nick from the Big slick has offered to put me in the tournament there tomorrow night, this is a £50 f/o with a £2500 gtd, 20k chips and a 30 minute clock, looks to be a good one, he even said he would put some money behind the bar for a baguette and a vodka, cheers Nick :-)
OK well I'm off, hopefully I win something decent over the weekend, I have had a bad week, online and live and it would be nice to get a good score, specially on a Sunday.
Take care, enjoy the Sunshine !

Running good much?
Hi there, hope your all winning lots and enjoying life - I played a bit last week, mainly put the volume in over the weekend, and was duly rewarded...
I played the 16.50 euro re buy on ladbrokes, it is one of there best daily tourney's and has a gtd of 25k!
I had AA and KK back to back in the re buy period, that gave me a full double up both times, so that helped a lot. Half way through the tourney, I started to lose it a bit, and then reminded myself that I was level for March, so could do with a final in this lol - So started to focus more and that seemed to get rewarded to. In the end I won it, the heads up lasted one hand with me shoving 22 on the button, and he calls with A3 and I flop a set - mbn - wiiiiiiii. Took £5500 for that win, which was very nice and made my weekend :-)
Yesterday I woke up, and drove to a pub in Cobham, called The Black Swan, it does a real mean roast, had to wait 45 Min's for it, as they were packed out, but was well worth the wait :-)
Came back in the afternoon, and I had already regged for the ladbrokes main comp which was a £190+10 buy in with a 30k gtd, only about 125 runners and a 5k starting stack, I really fancied my chances in this, unfortunately, nothing could go right, and AK must have bricked out at least 5 times! - who said AK is the nutz ?? lolol :P
So I played some other stuff, and qualified for the 200k on betsafe, but no gd in that, and then luckily won the 10 re buy on ladbrokes for £1500 :-)
That comp was a gd structure, it seemed to go on forever tho!, but on final I had AA, I min raised, the guy in bb (c/l) calls, flop comes KQ3, 2 clubs, he chks, I lead for the min, he moves all in, I call he has A6 clubs, and the turn and river brick off. After that hand, I always looked like making top 2, h/u I had K9 I call his raise, flop comes A98, I chk call the flop turn is another 9, it goes chk chk, river is a blank, I chk again he fires 80k I move in he folds. Very next hand I pick up 99, I raise it he calls, the flop comes a low board, he chk shoves I call, and I hold up, sweet :-)
I played a few on stars, but still can't get a run going on there, my nearest finish was in the last 1800 of the 300k DNG, when I pick up AK and get it in 3 way vs 10 10 and A A gg.
So I finished around about 11:30pm and was not tired, so I called up my friend and decided to go into London. I want to play the £100 at the Gutshot tomorrow, so bought in, together with Mel as it's a nightmare to get to, so if a little late, not going to get tilted etc...
While there, I chatted with a few of the reg's and then played a little cash, which I lost, so we left, and went to eat in Chinatown. Had a really nice Roast Duck with rice and seasonal veg. After that, we walked past the empire, and the urge took a hold of me, and had a little spin up, missing out my numbers by a whisker!, after it coming in 18,9,18 !! :-( I back 29,28,7 mostly, so was not best pleased ... cursing as I walked out why I would do such an idiotic thing.
By the time I dropped Mel off, I got stuck in all the morning traffic zzzzz which ended up with me getting home @9am this morning!!! Really starting to feel it now, so I'm off to bed soon, am currently in 1 comp on Betsafe - 3/20 and the daily 10 re buy 17.5k on encore - 52/141, hopefully can final one of these, to make it another winning day :-)
Tomorrow I hope to play the gutshot £100 f/o London Poker Masters, anyone thinking of playing this should defo reg, as 15k chips with a 1/2 clock, looks to be a gr8 comp! - Hopefully can bink it, we shall wait and see, for now, I will say Adios amigos :-)

I played the 16.50 euro re buy on ladbrokes, it is one of there best daily tourney's and has a gtd of 25k!
I had AA and KK back to back in the re buy period, that gave me a full double up both times, so that helped a lot. Half way through the tourney, I started to lose it a bit, and then reminded myself that I was level for March, so could do with a final in this lol - So started to focus more and that seemed to get rewarded to. In the end I won it, the heads up lasted one hand with me shoving 22 on the button, and he calls with A3 and I flop a set - mbn - wiiiiiiii. Took £5500 for that win, which was very nice and made my weekend :-)

Back to Black? lol
Well hello there, I thought I would start this up again, as I absolutely loved writing this blog before, and since I'm back playing again, would give me a way to moan/celebrate/share all the emotions etc with you guys!
It's been a while, I have not been up to much tbh, same old stuff, playing more and more recently, mainly online, sat in like a hermit, trying to make some bread and butter!! LOL
Seriously tho, I joined a staking site named Bankroll Supply about 6 weeks ago, they give me X amount of $$ over 3 different sites and I play mtt's for them, any profit at the end of the month, we split 50/50.
I started off pretty badly, could not get anything going, then suddenly, one Saturday night, I tried a satellite for a 162$ comp, and won the seat, and later that night ended up winning that comp for like $12k :-)
Pretty awesome from a initial stake of 15$ lol... The tourney was a gr8 comp, with a good structure, and at times I went off the rails, got to Final table last in chips and ended up going on a good run, and winning the thing, gr8 feeling.
I then had a couple of other small results for them, ended up making a nice profit at the end of the month, so after paying some bills and stuff, decided to buy a new computer with a couple of monitors, a desk etc, so that I can play more tables in a better environment.
Went and played a couple of live comps, but nothing happened - Atm, just can't win anything live lol!
I am also getting staked for some stars comps atm, this happened around the same time as BRS accepted me, and this is just on a one on one basis.
This started off average, then after a week I managed to win he 10k gtd 6 max for $2k, and a few days later won the 40k gtd for $7.5k.
My backer allowed me to play a couple of higher stuff, which I didn't do too badly at, played the Sunday million a couple of times as well, but both times played pretty horrible ...
The last couple of weeks haven't been that gr8, haven't played to my best, and kinda need to sort it out, as am in a bit of make up now , need to stay focused and try to put that to the back of my mind, as otherwise that will prevent me from winning anything and I'll be more likely to tilt harder.
On the personal life front, not doing too much, still looking for the love of my life (hahaha), thought I'd found someone, yet things don't always turn out the way you want, hey ho :S
Would like to go and visit Italy @ Easter, as my father was a strong catholic, so it would be quite fitting to go and see where he was laid to rest around that time, need to stay focused and start winning if this is to happen!
Anyways enough of boring you all to death, I'll try and keep this regular, and hopefully there will be lots of happy stories to tell in the near future :-)
For now, thxs for reading and be lucky!
