You want thrills. Check this out. Im not sure id have the stones to do it, but HOW FUCKING SICK does this look.

Some seriously funny/ good stuff written by fellow posters on deucescracked. Pretty awesome. Also, good to see a british guy getting the highstakes yanks scared, gogoogogogogo _FullFlush_, Durrrr challenge ftw sir. Jamie, when u read this, can u organise a pissup with him please, i need a coach like him!


Firstly, if ur not using a HUD and ur playing 6m at the low-midstakes, get one. I can understand if ur playing highstakes in a small player pool, but if ur a bottom feeder like most of us, get holdem manager. Hopefully soonish ill get Roy from HEM/PartyPoker (when they finally pay me doh) and Insidepoker together and be able to giveaway a couple dozen copies via this blog. Anyway, this was pretty funny from DC.

This is my HUD.

There are many like it, but this one is MINE.

My HUD is my best friend. It is my life.

I must master it as I must master my life.

My HUD without me is useless. Without my HUD, I am useless.

I must read my HUD true.

I must read better than my enemy who is trying to read me.

I must exploit him before he exploits me. I will.

My HUD and myself know that what counts in war is not the plays we make,

the noise of our chips, nor the short-term losses.

We know it is the wins that count. We will win...

My HUD is human, even as I, because it is my life.

Thus, I will learn it as a brother.

I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories,
its sights, and its optimum translucency.

I will ever guard it against the ravages of MS Windows and refresh problems.

I will keep my HUD clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.

We will become part of each other. We will.

Before God I swear this creed.

My HUD and myself are the defenders of my bankroll.

We are the masters of our enemy.

We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until there is no enemy, but PEACE.



Also, im reaching ridiculous clarity at the moment, and im not even using drugs. Admittedly im spewing a lot too, but more and more often im hitting this zone where i just dont think i can make a mistake against regs. Probably relying on hand-reading a little too much now, a few better regs are just realising that my river cr range really isnt that strong, so hopefully ill be able to get some thinner stuff through soon and get paaaiiiid. Anyway, i saw this which was awesome.


Malefiicus's guide to going robusto.

Do some exercises.

Play lag on a certain day of the week
Play like a nit on a different day of the week.
Play normal for the rest so you wr doesn't take a hit.
Wait at least 10 seconds before making any decision for 1 day per week.
Dissect ranges, get a piece of paper out, and write down ranges, realize that nobody folds on QJ7ss and have the paper knowledge to back it up.


I can't think of any more, the rum is getting to me. I suggest that you when playing lag pre, don't play lag post, that's something that tricks most regs 200NL and less fall for. When you play lag pre, play a bit nittier post, not super nitty or anything, but play smart (cbet correctly, etc). When you play nitty, play lag post, go crazy. That's how both styles are supposed to be.

Anyway, I'm drunk, so perhaps there's some wrong shit here, but I think it's good. I doubt anyone listens to this advice (and by listens, I guess I Mean listens and enacts. Most people will see this and never perform it, but if you do I guarentee you have a better chance at improving than someone who skips over it, a much better chance. Anyway, I'm going to have a bit more rum and party, because I live on an boat on a island. EVERY PERSON READING THIS POST CAN DO THE SAME. There are no limitations in life outside of self imposed limitations. Yeah, maybe you won't fuck a huge bitch, but you could. Maybe you won't move out of state, but you could. Maybe you won't sky dive, but you could. Perhaps you'll never do drugs, but you could. Maybe you'll never kill a man, but you could. All limitations in life are self imposed, so what I hope you all take from this is that you can do anything if you set your mind to it, and run good (joking, you could run bad, but if you're good and play a lot, it'll even itself out so quick that it won't matter).

We're poker players, we are lazy, but set your mind on it, set your heart on it, give your all to it, and you'll succeed at anything you attempt. End my rum induced rant.



Absolute quality and so true. Listened to ryan fees and read his guide to robusto on 2+2, this guy is probs the person that has affected my game the most indirectly out of anyone. His responses (when he's serious) to hands on 2+2 shows a different level of player, id expect huge things when he turns 21.

Should also state that im gonna start a coaching programme. Sometimes i get a little bored playing/games are bad and iv really enjoyed coaching my mate mondo from blonde. Im not really gonna do it for the money, ill probably charge a fairly small fee compared to others, but i want to do a full training package opposed to just X$/hr. Im thinking something like 10hour coaching programme, including a mix of live sessions/reviews/questionnaires/q+ "a"'s?/ etc. If anyone on here is interested, email me/pm on blonde/comment on here if u want to enquire. Im on the partyacademy coaches list and ill link some of my vids when party finally pull my finger out. Im probs best at advising ppl from 50-400nl, any higher and tbh, im not qualified to coach :).


Anyway, gonna end with a pretty funny hand. I CR the river here because im nearly 100% certain he has some missed spade draw on the river when he bets so much. Pretty funny he foldedwith $25 back :)

Monthly update. Been grinding my tits off so far, well behind yearly target but won a little bit playing higher....i know i said i wouldnt but sometimes u cant turn down the sweeeeets! Had a couple of awesome 500nl hands v a fish which ill post later.

Playing a 24/20 tag game most of the time, and a 9.5ptbb winrate is nice, [ ] sustainable (although maybe it will be this year...who knows?)

To the people that commented, iv linked u dom and also yorkshire pud. I finally got round to doing it :) , thanks for the comments too ukgatsby, ur blogs still a fun read even now.

Yorkshire pud, after the next article, which is on river play against more dynamic players and the second part, iv had a word with the boss and seat selection it is. Something iv been working on incredibly hard lately, i mean im not playing 200nl to try and beat the best LOL, im there for the easy money, something some people just will never understand. So at the moment, rest assured there will be a decent spread on seat selection in the next few months.

In other news a good mate and part-time backer of mine james "mbn to be me" dempsey recently bought blondepoker out effectively. Hopefully he will make it into the no.1 uk forum it deserves to be, i spend a stupid amount of time on there at the moment, mainly because this year im gonna work my balls off to make money and get the house done and.....go to vegas.

Yeah, decided this years the year, always said to my old hu mate dave that 2009 was the year and its happening now. Playing the 5k shorthanded and 10k me plus maybe some other stuff if i can whore myself out to backers out there. Iv sold 40% in the two bigger events to offset the variance and give myself a shot. Obviously i dont really expect anything but its all about enjoying the dream of the lolly more than anything. My game has come on miles in the last 3 years and i should be able to hold my own against the cardrunners crew in the 5k shorthanded, no fear depsite everyone telling me its a v tough event. Too dumb to accept reality that im not the don. Mainly i just want to give my lifetime a few shots at bracelets, i really really would like to get close to one, so going deep in any wsop event would be a great feeling i think. Was planning on staying with the boyband, but kinda got fked there in that they overbooked, so im having to arrange somewhere else w other folks. Not sure how many i can round up yet, but theres always the sahara for £700 2 weeks accomo + flights, i mean i know its supposed to be a shithole but im hardly fking donald trump.

Off to DTD in a couple of weekends time, next weekend a huge wedding for suzannes sister. Really chuffed for the pair of them tbh, John and Sarah are two truly toptop people. Ill have to fight off the marriage thing for a couple more years though i think, even though iv got the board locked high and low.

My student Monatoo is coming on well, he plays good poker but hasnt managed to put the hours in to say goodbye to variance. Hope he gets a heater soon. I get random emails from ppl asking about lowstakes cash staking sometimes. Ppl showing me 15ptbb winrates over 10k hands. I mean seriously. Play 1/4 million hands and then see how ur doing, 10k means nothing in 6m.

Luton has been fun, havent been as much as i like as the missus is clamping down on my ex's. All my fault tbh and im glad she is.

Anyway, ill finish off with some crazy hands for you. Enjoy.

Anyway, gonna do a long post now, degenerate readers (esp sharplea, bump me boyo!) fear not i will be trying my best to write more bullshit in the coming months. This spiel is gonna be mainly poker, next spiel is gonna be a life/fun post with some photos of my new place.....

OK, online first, then a complete dtd trip report as it was a really fun comp until i got tired. As you can see from my betfair graph at the top, this year badbeat cash games have started a little slow, i havent played as much as i would have liked but its ok so far. A bit frustrated im underperforming by about 30%, but im cutting down tables hard now (5 at absolute maximum) and it takes a little more adjusting. Still intend on playing 200nl for the most part, but feel like im wasting my time a little. Still, this year its about paying for the housework and a vegas trip and maybe next year we can do something a bit more risky :)

Feel my game is still improving, i am tilting a little at times but generally thats because of instability/ arguments at home which ruins my mindset. Hopefully thats gonna calm down. Im playing a 30/25/3 game now, with a frankly out of line 9% 3b percentage, but because im so table and ESPECIALLY seat selective, it doesnt matter. Watched some interesting vids lately which highlighted some of the finer points of table/seat selection and pissed me off a bit. Its like everyone is sharing all the best tricks, trying their hardest to fleece the fish fastest. Is this knowledge sharing ultimately sustainable? I dunno.

DTD trip report. This is gonna be virtually hand by hand analysis, so book in a spare 10 mins to enjoy it, coz drifting through will just bore you to death. Ok, so i decide last minute to go dtd for their monthly thing. 1st time iv been there and i was impressed. I met up with the blonde juniors, knave, trigg, mondo, rooks, dunk and co, and also saw a good mate of mine, grumpy garnham, doesnt get to luton much anymore but still loves his poker. Swapped 5% w trigg pre (he runs good for me) and 5% w my prodigy monatoo, who's game has come on a tonne, he just needs to remind himself to abuse situations :) ! Once that was done, it was a quick pint and then off to my table.

Starting table looked pretty good. I only recognised Maria demitriou at first, but given i was two to her left i felt i probs held the keys. Also noticed some lad down the end who revealed himself to be tom rutter, stuarts bro. 3 to my left i figured he could be a problem. Apart from that, couple of old guys, then, later, Lawrence gosney arrives on my direct right. Early on i go out of my way to get involved, playing a high % of pots. Got 3b early by tom when he was on the button, but i figured he would only really want to clash when he had position and control plus a hand, as the table was pretty soft. I played some small pots, then maria limps button on my bb and i raise JJ. Flop is K42r and it checks check, turn is a 10 and i check call, river check check and the lady has KQ. Lawrence now arrives, and i am forced to show a biggish bluff versus a guy down the end. I raise the cutoff after 2 limpers, he calls and flop is 44s8s. He donks and the others fold. I had 56 no spade but figure his donkbet range is an 8 or fd. Turn is a King and he bets weakly again, i should have raised but flatted narrowing him down to exactly a fd. River was a Jack and he check calls my bet with A8o. This hand combined with having to showdown some junk, including a pretty thin vbet with 55 on a JJ492 board when tom called me with A4 meant i was viewed as out of line pretty early.

1st big pot, lawrence openlimps co, i raise KK otb. Flop Aj4r. Check check. Turn 10s putting 2 tone board. I bet 800, lawrence makes it 2k. Given his rep and the fact he can never have a hand apart from some weird draw forces me to call. River is a 2 and he bets 2.5k with 2k back. He nearly makes me fold with some ridic calm speech play but im not folding to him ever and he shows Q6o. I then get a fun hand, i open 82s in mp and this oldish greek guy (who was a bit tez) calls. Flop is ok, 8s7s6 and i bet flop big. He calls, turn is another 6. I bet again and he calls. K River i c/c and he is unimpressed but mucks. I open next utg with AQo and get 3b big by some oldish spewy guy two to my left, all folded round, dont really think he has a hand and shove, he timebank folds. Up to about 16k now. Next pot i play was with a youngish asian guy (who studied physics at warwick uni and was hoping for a 2:1...got to get in his head yo) defends his bb when i open J10o. Flop 478c and he check calls. Jc on the turn and he CR shoves on me, i snap him as he bet really oddly and he has a big draw, 69cc or something, and gets there on the riv, knocking me back down to 10k.

Soon after i find 22 in the SB after multiple limps. I run like god and a Kd9d2s board drops. checked round and the turn is a 4s. I check, utg pumps 2k, some tight guy calls, and i shove from the sb. They both timebank, the first folding AJ but the second calling with AQo and dead. Up to 25k and working just before the break.

After the break i get involved in a couple of pots, including one that got me paid pretty well. I open 107d after 2 limpers and the bb and one limper call. The BB caught me bluffing twice but seemed pretty weaktight, obv a huge mark as i thought i could make some big pots then make him fold. Flop was 9h6hJd and i bet with a view to a multistreet bluff on good barrel cards or giving up if it went badly. Turn was a 2h and i checked it back, as he will let me know his hand strength on the river. River i bink an 8 and he check calls a big bet and looks a little sick when he sees my junk. I won a few more, knocking out lawrence after flopping bottom two on a 468 board (raised pre obv) and then played a pot with maria. I raised marias bb w 22 in ep and flop another set lol J102 board and i bet, maria goes to raise, then just calls.... holy fk we are getting PAID! Turn is a pretty annoying scarecard, the 8 and she check calls again. River is a fking disgusting 9 and we check it down and im a little annoyed to see J10. Anyway, i was up to about 50k when the average was 17k so good so far.

Then comes the first hiccup. I open AKss utg and Tommy on my left calls 800. Tom rutter now makes 800 3600 @ 150/300 and its folded to me. He's playing about 23k and i hate all my options. I eventually shove (trying to get him to fold JJ/QQ) and he puts it in my eye with AA. I hate flatting oop there v a decent player and i think folding is bad, but in hindsight i should perhaps have just mucked it. I lose it a little here, dwindling to 20k before having a crazy luton local come to my right and winning a few pots bullying him. I then get a christmas present, seeing a 5s58s board with 57 and the utg limper calling me allin with JJ. GG tommy. This got me operable again, above average. The table dynamic now changed horribly, with dave jones (leknave), Trickett and Paul Lammas joining. I wasnt too bothered about Paul as he plays a fairly tight solid game, but really didnt relish sam and dave messing up my party. I tightened up for the next hour before the table broke.

My next table was fantastic. Possibly the softest table iv played live in a couple of years. So much open limping, donk betting, terrible poker i was laughing inside and out loud a fair bit. Fisrt hand i play, im in the BB. The board comes 844 (i have 29) and one of the open limpers bets 1/2 pot. Called by another middle aged guy and i float oop, hoping to get away with a proper lol lets rep it line. Didnt know the table so obv i giveup if it gets checked on the turn but nono, the guy bets again on the K turn, with the caller in again. I now make a really grubby checkraise, making 1200 2800 and get called by the bettor. The river is a brick and i bet 5k, shipit. Now back up to 40k i felt good, but i got bluffed by this guy with about 100k twice.
On one occasion an absent BB and 3 limpers made me raise Ac10 4X on the button, then this seemingly nice cockney with beard on my left started going on about me raising all the time and i seriously thought if he 3bets im shoving. Anyhow, he folded, and bigchips utg limper (i know, lololololol) called. Flop was QcJc4 and he donked 5k into 5k and made a bad bad call (playing 40) hoping to outplay him later. Didnt work as he smashed the 8 turn and i was duly shown K9o (in my eye again). I then grinded for about 4 hours, staying ahead of the curve. Then, 1 level left, it went tits up. Couple of limpers, new internet guy raises biggish in the hijack (6k @ 600/1200), i 3bet big with JJ to 18k and the bb cold 4b shoves. FUCK MY LIFE. But obv im not folding, just hoping he has that ace and king combination thats the only hand i beat :) He doesnt, he has QQ and im crippled, losing a 70k pot. Dealer leaves me with 5k (ffs let me die gracefully, i was walking out the door.....) and i obv open shove atc 4 times on the trot. I then get called and crack AA with QJ, getting back up to 26k with average at 34k. There was no way i was coming back the next day with 26k, (i have learnt that i simply cannot operate well with a shortstack so go out of my way in an effort to play to my strengths) so was looking to get involved in pressure spots. Which is probably why i opened 102o 8k utg, just felt doyle was on my shoulder...., the flop came pretty good, K72 and i open shoved into 1 caller. It would have got through aswell, but i couldnt help myself from fking talking when he started quizzing me. I seriously have lost so much fking money from talking to good players, who invariably fold or call perfectly once they hear my voice. No MORE. from now on, in big pots, im not talking AT ALL. He called me with 55 and went on to come 4th for 10k, i went home.
