Hello there, and welcome to my blog..... I hope you will all enjoy reading (if any lol), and hopefully there will be some great highs and not too many lows along the way :-)

I have been playing poker for about 7 yrs now, and the game still fascinates me today, it can be cruel at times, but when the iron strikes hot it is one of the greatest feelings to ever have in your life....

Back in November of last year, I was playing on pokerstars - dreeniee82 - and had a very fruitful night winning the daily 80k outright. This was my 1st big poker win online and the feeling was unbelievable, a month on in December I played an Ecoop 6 max on Ipoker - Big slick - Iambonkers, and won that too, that was an even greater feeling, a month after that I came 2nd at the DTD £300 event which was a great feeling, as it was my 1st big live win......

The beginning of this month I joined the BadBeat team, playing on Ipoker - Mansion - Dreeniee82, playing stts and mtts.

In my 1st week, it was great, I won a tourney and later that week, had a 2nd and 3rd place finish, I was also doing rather well at the stts..... then variance crept in, and the last 7 days, it has been a bit of a struggle, I admit at times I'm probably not playing to the best of my ability, however I am getting ridiculously outdrawn when it matters, which does not help lolol

Tonight I did not play too much, I played only a handful of stts, cashing a 3rd in one and bubbling a couple of the others, played the $10 rebuy 30k gtd, and after the break had around 6kish, I was dealt KK, one guy raised, I called, the flop came K,J, rag, the guy bets all in, I snap call obv, and he shows 2 red queens, turn 9 ,,,,river 10..... lovely
I played the 5$ rebuy 10k gtd, but never had many chips in that, and just got short stacked was knocked out half way through, I played the 5$ speeeeeeeed rebuy, I min cashed for $50, when I could not crack AK twice whilst holding high pairs :-(
I also played the 20$ tourney 5k gtd, but went out about 60th, with 30 getting paid, and the last one which is the sickest one of all, I was in the midnight express $30 5k doublestack, and after the break I was doing well, with around 7500 chips, A guy opens for 300, I call, and a further 3 callers, I have 66, the flop comes 8,5,6, all clubs, original raiser checks, I bet 840, 1 caller and the others fold, the turn is a King of spades, I bet 2350, he flats, the river is the miracle 6, I move in for my remainder and he snaps me off, He has 97 of CLUBS!!!!!!!!!, was pretty sick, so I just switched off, not a very good day tbh, but hopefully tomorrow will be a much better one :-))

Im off to bed now, for some sleep, its been quite a long day, and I want to be fresh for tomorrow, I'll keep you posted on how I get on, hopefully I can bink something this week, thanks for reading!
