Sorry for the delay

Well I know I haven't posted fr a while and because of that i realise the blog may of got a bit boring and gone a touch stale.
Reason being is simple. Not that much to talk about over the last month I have played probably no more than a a dozen games online and live.
Played at Leos Liverpool £30 freeze out and thought I played pretty well. Went deep got to the bubble and it all went pair shaped. I got so tied up in the game i didn't even realise that it was bubble time. Not that it would of stopped me bubbling.
I had played very well all night night without ever getting into trouble. For the best part of 4 hours i established i very solid table image and relied on a few squeeze plays to build my stack. I was lucky enough only to move tables once in 3 1/2 hours and had alot of respect.
Moved tables with 20 of us left and held a cozy enough stack to take me to the final table.
The hand i went out on was vs a very inexperienced that had only got to this stage through sheer luck. He had bee on my first table and after watching this guy suck out on people when calling a in's with top pair shit kicker only to pair his kicker twice in 2 hours, he was ridiculous.
With the at what i can remember was roughly 500/1000 (don't quote me) I made it 4k to go only the idiot in the bb called. Flop arrives Q47, it was hard to put this fellow on a hand because on his big blind he could call with a pretty big range. He bets out 4k and I'm pretty sure he probably has hit the q with his usual shit kicker so i don't want to scare him off. Turn arrives a king and he bets out 10k. At this stage I,m start too get worried that maybe he had called with kq but this fellow had been re raising with kq and pairs earlier. Second that was why didn't the king when it arrived scare him if he only had a queen but with the history behind this guy's play was that once he bet of rsed it didn't matter weather or not he had top pair middle pair he was firing at it. I decide to put him all in and after a small pause he called i Flipped over aces and he decides that its time to count out his chips and double check the amount was right in the middle.
At this stage because he is taking so long to make sure if he hadn't put too much in the middle before passing the chips my way, the dealer is passing the chips to me as he still hasn't shown his cards and looks like he is mucking turns over his trip sevens and start s to celebrate.
Yes pissed off is an understatement but I wouldn't give the slow rolling bastard the pleasure of knowing it.
Then I realised i had just bubbled which was a bit of salt for the wounds.
Next game after that was a £10 re buy Manchester. I travelled pretty well through out with and erratic player on my left carrying a monster stack he raises 3rd to act. I re raise 3his raise with pocket kings the table folds back to him. He calls I think he has probably has ak/aq/aj maybe middle pair but he hadn't been raising with 9,s in this position earlier so pretty sure he has big ace.. Flop comes Queen high he announces all in right away I have him aq and insta call, he turns over aq and the ace arrived on the turn to send me packing .......
Played a pub league game, down to 20 players when i re raised an aggressive player pre flop with ak clubs, he called flop arrives k high he announces all in I'm hoping he has kq ish i call and he shows me aces. To be honest he out played me because I didn't think there was a player good enough in the room to make that play.........
Played 2 other local £10 re buys no joy in one cashed for third place in the other......
Played another pub poker league job ion the week in up Holland labour club.... To be honest its not a bad set up at all, 55 runners £15 entry and not a bad nights poker for a small entry and a chance for a couple of pints as well.
Got hit in the face with the deck really. Pocket aces three times and kings twice. Got to final table and the way things where heading we where going to be on for a chip count. Guy on my left kept shoving coming into the last ten minutes I found pocket queens and limped hoping for him to push blind again, and so he did. I the rest folded he flipped over 89 i think it was. When the 7 arrived on the river it gave him a straight.
After a quick add up i was probably looking at £90 for going out 4th and decided to call an all in on the last hand with J6 it paid off when I hit a 4 card club board to give me a flush and net £166....
Ok return on £15 and a the crack was good with the lads as well alot of friendly faces running about.
Believe it or not that's prob all the poker I have played in a month and a half ans as for online i haven't really bothered that much with the tournaments, but been doing a bit of grinding at the cash tables. Pretty happy with the way its going after alot of work on my cash game .....
So that's it what started off as a quick couple of lines turned into a fuckin book lol
Good luck at the tables guys speak soon
