This month has flown by

This month seems to have gone quite fast. I think overall I have played about 20 hours of poker so far. I still need to log a few more hours to get my points up to earn a couple of bonuses. I stated playing on Littlewoods in order to get there sign up bonus of an Ipod and also managed to double my money as well. I think with the offers they have at the moment a lot more people are playing on the Cryto sites because the other day they had more games running that I have seen before. I managed to play 8 full $100nl games which helped with the points.

The last 2 sessions were probably the best I have played in a long time. I am definitely more at ease now with playing 8 games and for a while I had 10 going. I have started playing more solid hand PF and not trying to get too fancy after the flop. Only one real beat although I played the hand perfectly. I raised to 3 with AA and a guys reraised to 7. Everyone else folded so I just smooth called. Flop was 6,2,2. That was a great flop as I assumed he had an overpair as well and all the money was going in. I checked, he bet 15 I went all in and he calls with 99. Blank on the turn and then BAM a 9 on the river!!

I can now also say that I have folded Aces preflop. It was an accident as I was winding down the games and I pressed fold like a muppet. I was in the HJ position as well and everyone else folded to the small blind who raised and BB folded. I put it in the chat box and the SB said he had 10s so that would have been interesting. Oh well.

The Nintendo DS I qualitfied for last month on Interpoker still hasn’t arrived. I mailed the website and they said I should get it within the next few weeks. I also finished off the points for the Sign up bonus so that was a nice £200. The only problem being that I lost nearly that getting there!!

Only one month until I am off to Vegas. I can’t wait. 2 weeks in Vegas (one with the boys until the misses flys out) and then 1 week travelling around flying back from San Francisco. Most of the accommodation is booked and paid for now so all that left is spending/gambling money.

Last weekend I went to the Wineyard Hotel in Newbury for my girlfriends 30th. It’s a 5 star hotel and was amazing. The suite was had was really nice and the meal was one of the best ever. We had a 10 course taster meal the in the restaurant there which has 2 Michelin stars and was super.
