Back from the deads

Well, not exactly, but i was away for a while, had a lot on my minds and tons of exams – ye that’s what you get from going to university…

anyway – last night was an amazing poker night – i went to a poker tournaments with some of my friends, the poker night was held in a house of someone i didnt know before (Thanks Julia for the great night) and it was a really amazing house with a cool games room where we had the tournament going on – buy in was 250 euros and prize pool was nice enough (almost 2500 euros for the last one standing) – dont worry it wasnt me….

we started at 2 tables and last 9 moved on to the final table (at this point i was already out after a crazy crazy hand where i was sucked in by Georgy with trips of 10′s and i got beaten by a painful full house – oh well

the really cool thing anyway was this was the first time i ever got to see someone pulling a royal flush – YES a real one – it was so amazing to watch, Jan (my friend), Julia and Mary were going all in (Jan with trips of 7′s, Julia with a full house and Mary went all in obviously with this amazing royal flush)

Mary was holding ace and 10 of spades, Jan was holding 7, 5 and Julia had 7 ,K
community cards were 7, Q, K, 7, J

was an amazing night and great poker (better luck for me next time hopefully) – at the end it was Mary taking on 1st prize, Georgy #2 and Jan (not my friend) #3.

Playing texas holdem

in the last couple of weeks im really into texas holdem poker, i read some tips and strategies (before i was playing with my guts, which was great but it can be risky poker sometimes)

so now, done some homework and im ready for the next challenge which is a big texas holdem tournament at Liana house next weekend, hopefully the learning will pay off (this will be a big, 30 people or so tournament which is much more than the ones we r usually having)

good luck for me

in the meanwhile if you want to read some i advice you to start with the basics -read some poker hand rankings guide (ye i know it is a real beginner stuff but hey, i have no idea who are my readers right?) – i like the one i found on casinopoker101 just because it is a guide for dummies (like me)

updates – after next weekend

I got a poker table

admin — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 20:49:31 +0000

i got myself a poker table so now when i will have some friends for a poker night or whatever we will be able to place our hands on the leather (or kind of leather anyway) and to place our beers right where they belong (lucky enough i bought a poker table which is fluid resistance so if anyone’s beer will fall – im all cover)

So now all is left for me to do is to organize another great poker tournament – that’s right – if you don’t have the time to play online poker why not spend a hell of a lot more time and have some friends for poker night (this way you also spend some time preparing the food and cleaning after they all leave your house….ye – thats a smart decision right?

So, my new table is really cool – it can has up to 10 poker players around it and it is red – how cool is that?

Worse Poker Hand Ever Eliminate the Bounty

admin — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 20:55:43 +0000

Finally i have some time to tell you about the poker tournament i had in my house a while ago, so basically i didnt win it but i got some money out of it after all by eliminating the bounty in my table, which was the girl sitting next to me. I had a really bad hand, but since she went in extra aggressive i decided she also has a bad hand. i went in, the flop, turn nothing happened and river was crappy for me as well, but still we were deep in that pot and i figured her poker hand is bad as well (i had Q and 7) anyway, once it was over, i was sure i am out since we went all in eventually like 2 stupid gals, but then she flashed a 10 and 5 – LOL
I couldnt believe i won that hand and at the same time eliminated her , after only one hand
so, that day poker winnings were about 65USD – nothing to write home about but at least i didnt loose my money like the rest of them.

2nd place at poker night

admin — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 16:51:38 +0000

Just got back last night from one of the most crazy poker nights ever, i had the worse hands you can imagine , but somehow i got to the 2nd place of my friends monthly poker tournament, now, the buy in was only 50 euros but as one of the 3 people who were in the money, i left the place with over 200- which is kinda nice for just a fun night with frineds right?

The best thing about last night poker tournament was the fact that i had some crazy unreal all ins which odds were not in my favor but somehow i managed to get them on the river, like a hand where i had pocket 5′s and Sara had pocket kings – already not looking good for me ha? then flop showed a nice 5, 9, Q – i was sure i am good here till the turn gave another king – which sucked, but then out of nowhere there was a sweet sweet 5 …oh ye – sara was out.

Another really cool hand was a simple bluff from my side, but Doni was just too stubborn and went all in with me when i had nothing, he had 9,Q and i had 2, 7 flop was showing ace, 8, ace so i went all in like ace was mine, but Doni did as well – so i got real nervous, turn gave us nothing (3 of spade if u must know) and then, just a tiny 2 was showing up – enough for me.

anyway, 200 euros, i think i deserve some new shoes dont ya?
