Before I moved to London I played at Fountain park, only a couple of times though.

Im back in August and will be attending quite regularly after then.

I don't think I have ever met anyone who has layed down quads before. Not sure if it is possible to do.

In response to Bigsmak in another thread im here for some poker chat lol.

 

Im not reading through all 60 odd pages so forgive me if I repeat anything that's already been said.

 

How many people on kickback play poker for fun/for cash(cash is fun no?)

is there a kickback poker club(online) currently running? if so how do i join, if not, anyone want to join one on stars?

 

I play quite regularly $3.50 9-seaters, some $<10 MTT's if I have time and if Im feeling like a grind 5p/10p ring games.

 

My last bad beat was on Saturday night, playing live ring game at a club I've just discovered.

 

blinds are 25p/25p and straddling is allowed(which I hate!) I've joined with ?25 Im playing super tight as I don't know any of the players.

after folding several hands and watching how the pot gets over inflated by fish with rags i decide to get involved when I picked up aces(as most people would).

Im in late position, about 6/7 calls for 25p already, I raise to ?3(may seem OTT but at this table it was standard!), I get two callers(both of whom had been in every pot).

flop comes down J,J,6. first to act checks, next one bets(?8 if I recall), I call(a mistake in hindsight, should've raised). then I think the other guy folded. so two of us left now.

 

next card comes down was blank, he bets i reraise all in(which IIRC was still quite a decent sized raise compared to pot). he calls!! turns over K6off!! low and behold the hand went the way of the fish, 6 on the river, giving him full house.

 

Worst of all! he takes my money and turns to me to say "You know what your mistake was? its the first hand you've played" I could have punched him lol

 

well, I didn't punch him, I proceded to buy in again and got put out with AKs & then for a final time with Q9s(both another 2 bad beats but this post is long enough already).

 

Needless to say I wont be going back, 1 fish is fun, 3 fish is payday, table full of fish well they'll have the shark for dinner lol

I'm playing this again. Played last year, as did another poster who did well enough to make the cash. Think he might have mentioned it on this thread if you dig far enough back!

What if you genuinely want a 3-legged peeking duck with chips??? :blink:

 

 

I've had a horrible year at poker so far (up to last Saturday).

 

Online, 7 months, playing for hours in Mtt's, sng's and a bit of cash - ?10 down...

 

Then on Saturday, I played a cash game on sky, ?0.10/?0.20, up ?150!!

 

Then on Tuesday night I played a ?1.00/?2.00 game, up ?250!!!! :omg!:

Unfortunately another year of crashing out after dinner on Day 1- Ran Queens into David Vamplew's Kings. In Absentia didn't repeat his cash, but I'll let him tell how he got on...

Busted the 2nd last level of the day last night. All in pre for a 40k pot with 99 v AQo. Q high flop, all spades(I have the 9 of spades) but I miss my 9 or spade which cripples me then next hand shove my last 5bbs with KQ. Big blind calls with K9 . 9 high flop and that's me.

 

Always next year I guess...Really enjoyed my first UKIPT overall though.

Really enjoyed the UKIPT, built up a nice stack early doors then ran 10's into JJ's on a J 10 3 flop against Brett Angell and never really recovered, a shame as my first table was perfect for accumulating chips. One of my mates is down to the last 12, and I have a small percentage of him so it's been a good laugh railing him today.

 

Only other event I managed to play was a 55 turbo, came 2nd for 510 so happy enough with that. Hope I can make it over to Ireland for the next leg!

Mega gutted I couldn't make it to the UKIPT for the second year in a row. Been in Afghan for the last 5 and a half months and really looking forward to getting back into it. I've been reading Harrington on hold 'em and can thoroughly recommend it. Will be playing most of my poker down south as that's where I'm living now but when I'm back up the road mostly play at Fountain Park.

 

Hope to see some of you Jambos across the felt some time.

 

PS if any of you are down near Reading any time I play at Duffs Cardroom there. Lots of great Tournaments with good value and a pretty high standard of play.

Does anyone play a regular cash game. blinds roughly 25-50 or 50-?1

 

Haven't played recently but play fairly regularly in the ?1/?2 (or ?1/?3) game at the Circus. The circus are going to be starting the smaller games (dealer dealt) but they're going to be raked instead of the table charge.

Smaller tables would be better, wouldnt fancy playing with ?50 and everyone else is sitting down with ?300

For the 50p/50p game they're going to have ?25 minimum sitdown/?150 maximum and for the 50p/?1 it will be ?50/?300.

 

We're thinking of changing tonight's home game to a 2p/5p cash game if anyone's interested in that...

Where u playing about? i prefer the play when its 10p-20p or 20p-40p minimum otherwise it feels abit like bingo and cant get anyone off any hand.

Just in the flat (I live in Wester Hailes). It really depends on who turns up, all the players are reasonable standard but if somebody's struggling for cash at any time we don't want to set the blinds at a level that will exclude them. We might well play 10p-20p if everybody brings around ?50.

 

Drop me a PM if you want a seat.

Was on sky not that long ago. The rake that they now take in is HUGE...... Was playing heads up and they took about ?8 in 20 minutes, and that was only the 5p 10p blinds. Puts me in two minds weather to put money back in again.

What's the best site online to play? Is it poker stars.

 

I've been playin pkr but find the games slow and you end up getting distracted by all the fan dan that goes with it.

 

Looking to start with around ?50 if anyone knows any good sign ups etc.

P/stars have a big online series starting tonight, the Tcoop.

 

If you deposit $60 you get a free $22 tournament token to use in the series. There is a huge game tonight, $22 starting at 5pm with late reg. until 6pm.

 

It's a 6-max with $200K gtd.

 

It's already smashed through $500,000 in the prize pool, almost $550K with half an hour until it starts. It's completely free if you deposit and use the code 'tcoop'.

 

The chances of winning are obviously very slim but you have a free shot at the $50K+ first prize, I thought I'd let everyone know about it if you hadn't already heard.

At the first break in that tourney, a total of 44,787 started creating a prize pool of $895,740.

 

18,661 players are out. 6000 paid.

 

Blinds will be 150/300 with a running 40.

 

I have 8,743 (started with 5K). Made a disciplined fold with Queens pre, I feel I was correct. I hit Quad 7's and knocked a player out, then had a flopped set of Kings busted by a riverred straight.

Out 20,758th.

 

Ace-Ten against a shorter stack all in with K9 that hit a 9, then Q9 in the BB, btn limped, flop TQK - two clubs, I check, btn bet 800 (2bb), I shove 1900 more, btn calls with 45 of clubs and hits running 4's.
