Last chance saloon

Oh my god......
Looks like I have been banished to the last chance saloon, the last blogger tourny and....... I'm out. Whats worse after just half an hour. Kept on or slightly over the 2k chips. Then had a little run in lost a few hundred chips and got moved. First hand or so on the new table KK. 300 the bet to me so I raise to 600, all fold bar 1 who re-raises allin I call.
They show QQ, flop oh dear me a Q Duh!.. needless to say left me 250 chips lasted 1 rd till the blinds caught me. So I have but one more chance, in next Saturdays last chance tourny. Oh well...

Just a trial

Ok this is just a little trial blog. To see if I get this picture adding right.


These are the finishes I have so far in the smaller tournies.
Sundays $1000 guaranteed.

My 3 wins so far. Unfortunately I don't have a jpeg of the freerolls I have moneyed in which is a shame. 2nd + 7th in the $4k = $610 and 4th + 7th in the $20k = $1600. Plus various other placings from $5 - $200.

All in all not to bad a return. Hopefully I can continue to improve and so get the elusive $20k + $4k ribbons........

Saturday sees the blogger tour move into its last event. The as far unsponsored event 8. Having got a 5th, 6th and 7th I'm begining to wonder if I will ever manage to get that final push into the top 4. Its getting mighty close now, just the last chance tourny to go after this on the following Saturday. So wish me luck I think I'm gonna need it...

Tourny win......

Finally, I've managed another tourny win. I have won a couple of small tourny's $5 buyin quite small so more like SnG's. Sunday I managed to win a larger one entry wise, $300 Guaranteed. Wasn't too bad a weekend as i managed to get on 4 final tables. Along with this Guaranteed there was the Blogger, see previous post, along with a satallite for the $10k on saturday earning me a coupon for entry into it. Unfortunately I didn't get very far. Its a little slow, a little more demanding than the others I've played. Still I played the satalite for it on Sunday to again getting to the final table and gaining another entry coupon. So I'll try again this coming weekend.
I think I might try and find a way of posting the winning pics and keep them update, as a kind of log. Not sure if I can or not so have to be a post that keeps getting bumped......

Whats it take to get a ticket

Yet another blogger tourny, yet another disappointment.
Once again I have not managed a top 4 finish in the blogger tourny. Once again adding insult to injury another ticket will go begging. Or should I make that 2........
I managed a 5th place finish this time my highest to date. 1 place to low, but one of the top 4 finishers has again already got their ticket. So only 3 again this time. Unfortunately there was a 5th on offer as a bounty on the sponsor. But it is she who has made the top 4. It was this that finally curtailed my chances this time around. 6 players left I'm dealt 22 sb, all fold back to me. I raise 2x BB. the sponsor (in BB) goes all in. I call, she shows AQo. we both miss the flop, turns a brick but isn't it always.......the river's a Ace. Never of guessed that.
Oh well 2 more weeks to wait for the next chance.
Wonder if there will actually be 4 tickets won for a change..

Season 4 Champions

We managed to hold on. The Blind Bullies are the new forum league champions for season 4. Although it was a nervous affair, with the first game seeing both bullies going out in last place and 8th, the lead we had amassed over the previous 3 weeks proved to be more than enough. Even with 3 of "the Probables" in the top 3 the 28pt lead proved too much. The winning margin eventually whittled down to 13pts.
Now with a League under our belt we can now focus on the seasonal invitaional against the poker.com staff. More news as it occurs...........

Season 5 gets underway on Saturday with 1 team dropping out (although most have reformed a new team) and 3 new additions. So 7 teams now to play, this gives us a reduced fixture list each so allowing for much needed breathing space between games.

It may prove to be the hardest season yet to win, but now we have proven to be worthy champions I know we can hold on to our crown.

On a side, we ( the Bullies ) managed a clean sweep. Drugsarebad (who unfortunately has to use his time now on more mundaying things has reluctantly had to move to the spares list. This has made room for our newest addition Jupite. Welcome......) won the "easy week" individual title. Cymru won the league individual title. Beating me into second place by 2pts. We also had 2 other players in the top 5. So all round an excellent season for the Bullies. Lets keep our crown and beat the Staff.
Good Luck all.

One more Round to Go

A monster set of games this week end for us in the league.
First up was the MTT, all 6 players did us proud. All lasting out till the last 12. We then managed to hold out for a 4th place and 1st. A very long game that sent us straight into the SnG's for Sat. A 5th n 7th in the first games folded by 3rd n 4th in the last. Saturday saw us increase our lead on the chasing pack by another 8 pts.
4 more games Sun all SnG. The first pair went well gaining a 1st, 2nd and 4th pulled us another 5 pts further in front. Followed up by a 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the last pair has given us a huge lead to take into Weds final Pair of SnG's.
With just 2 games to play and a 28 point lead, we are virtually unbeatable now. Only the intervention of a really cruel dealer can stop us from claiming the League . Fitting as we had "Won" it the last season, only to find that unfortunately a scoring teething error ripped it from our grasp.
Still that gave us an insight to what it will be like on Weds when we are crowned champions.
Allowing us then a chance at playing the poker.com staff in the challenge match.

So far the staff are 2 - 1 up.
The River Demons beat the staff in the season 1 match.
Having retained their title in season 2 the Demons again played the staff but this time lost.
Season 3 saw new champions to attempt the staff, The Probables (should have been us *sob*)
but they to fell to the wrath of the staff going down by just 1 point.
Hopefully in season 4's match we can level the scores. But first we have the formality of winning the league on Weds. Good Luck all Bullies involved on Weds keep it tight we still need to get at least 11 pts to guarantee the title.

A League Win?

I have been a member of the forum league since its inception. Being a Blind Bully throughout. At the start things were a little difficult with team members committing time to what is only a month long "season". Still things seemed to have settled down nicely now. We have a stable team all willing to commit. Thankfully in the main to our captain Housekat, who has struggled through trying to keep the team together, organising spares to fill vacant slots. Also managing to get together a selection of players that now form the team as it is now.
Last season we "won" only to have victory snatched from us on a recount. All above board, a clerical error. Still it hurt. This season, however, we find ourselves on top by a few points running into the last weeks games. Hopefully we can keep hold of it. Hopefully we can push further away from the rest of the teams.
Season 5 looks to be even bigger, with the addition of perhaps 2 more teams?
