Deadly Weekly +241 Total +1200
Bigshot Bog Weekly +188 Total -270
Phillberto Weekly -15 Total +142
Moocher Weekly -200 Total +60
Lamma_Jim Weekly -23 Total -191
Moocher takes a big dive in the last week having been only $20 from the last blog record kept at the end of May.
I'm happy I've got over a tough period without denting my previous winnings too much and hopefully can stick to winning play and endure downturns without adding tilt duty payments.
Bigshot brings joyful tidings of a finding of a form. I do know he has been pottering about in the $16 turbos and had been recommending them. Pulled himself back from the brink of another felting to in the black and hopefully keeping up the same rate of success.(Correction not quite as good we thought- I was missing a $500 buy-in)
Deadly checks in with a continuation of his Bankroll in the right direction keeping him in the lead on both the live game and online Lamma stakes. Omaha is now his game though as Holdem no longer gives him the buzz it once does. Allin on the flop to take down $150 soon made up for his home game woes. As easy as that.
Lamma Jim is left with a mere $9 in his account to stage a come-back.

Live fae Glesgae
Whilst back in Scotland I decided to take my chances at a Casino in Glasgow. Went along for a Sunday afternoon deep stack tourney. Fifty players signed up and I went to my assigned table at 2pm and 15,000 chips. A couple of rounds in I had a chance to assess a couple of the looser players. I then found pocket Queens in late position and stuck in a raise. One caller and I was up against a wee Weegie who seemed to be loose. The flop came AAx. It’s checked to me and I opt just to check behind. I second low card and I make a three quarter bet now when it’s checked to me again. He calls so I suspect he has connected or has an overpair. With no draws on board I’m pretty much convince I’m ahead here and bet out on the river and get a call. He shows an overpair (Pocket 9s) and I take down my first pot.
Blinds doubled to 200/400 Next hand I raise in late position preflop to 1,600 with pocket Aces. My raise is called by a young Glasgow ned, the second of the two loose players. Flop is a very nice A55 with no draws to speak of. Again in position I decide to check behind. A second Ace giving me quads so I bet out. I get called and a Jack on the river I decide to bet 5,000. He doesn’t think too hard before calling and shows pocket Queens giving me a nice pot.
Its not long before I see action again. Again in late position I see Cowboys. It’s raised in front of me by my first opponent. I make it 5,000. He comes over the top with a shove which I snap call. He has AK and I avoid an Ace to felt him and take my stack up to 40,000 making me chip leader.
I then don’t see any cards for a while (fair enough really). I raise once with Pocket 9s and get called. I miss on the flop and the caller bets into me. With two overcards on the board I fold. I manage to get some of my folded blinds back making a play on the button in a limped pot making a big raise. Having folded for a while I’m believed by everyone.
I make it to the first break with 35,000 in chips. Still chip leader and players starting to disappear. I avoid any major confrontations for a while. Eventually we take a second break and we’re into the last two tables. I’m now just an average stack and realise I need to start getting involved in some pots. I raise to 5,000 in mid position with Pocket 6s. I get called by the player with position on me and the Big Blind. Flop comes T76 with two spades. With 16,000 in the pot the Big Blind bets 5,000. A pretty weak bet I note. Folding is not an option and I suspect he may well be on a draw or a weak pair. With another player to act after me I need to make a big bet to discourage him drawing. A pot sized bet will commit me for sure so I just get it all-in. A fold and the big blind calls with 89 for the straight. I miss all my outs and I’m out in 18th place.
I subtract the amount from my bankroll ($66) but enjoyed the experience, felt I played well and didn’t feel out of my depth. Certainly not the same standard as the Asian Poker Open.

It's been a while
Well just logged back in to see the last posting I made was losing to a straight flush. As you may guess I had a bit of a downturn in fortune. Having started the year with $3636 my bankroll peaked at $4,200 before falling all the way back to a very low deficit for the year.
Tilted some money off at 50NL including calling all my stack off with Pocket 6s with probably five overcards. What a shark. Since returning after my trip back to Scotland I returned to two tabling 25NL and soon racked up an 8 buy-in turnaround. Flopping trip fours and then being oversetted managed to re-induce tilt and resulted in a four buy-in losing session. Started off with getting stacked twice (Top two against AT that called my c-bet with a gutshot and an allin in a reraised pot against a flush draw with gutshot)again at the weekend but clawed it back to manage a $7 winning weekend online.
So USD3862 in the Bankroll (including my Glasgow Casino play) and $142 up in online play for the year so far and $76 up $84 up in live play.
I also signed up for a Stars bonus a couple of months ago and cleared about 85% before it expired. Since signed up for a new one with them that I have six months to clear. At 0.56c per hour playing 25NL per table it really sucks. A bit of bonus recession on at the moment.
So there is my line in the sand. Onwards and upwards.
