taking my time

i haven't updated this blog for a little over a week i think but i have managed to squeeze in at least 3 games in that time 2 with the AOPL and one with the local pub league,

Australian Online Poker League - Free Online Poker League for Australians to compete against each other.

think i might cut down on the local pub ones i like playing there and catching up with friends but the tournament directors are inconsistent with their rulings on some things like swearing and players behavior etc, one night they might give a 15 minute penalty to someone swearing the next they just let it go,it gets annoying when every table you get sat down at the drunks argue and swear and just carry on and no penalty gets given out but then someone else lets slip the dreaded f bomb over these players actions it's an instant penalty,so with the extra games that have started up in town now (there's about 6 or 7 games a week now) i've got a few to choice from for just a muck about game.

well april was meant to be the month where i got my games organized but it hasn't quite worked out that way for me so far ,it's improved but not how i wanted, things kept popping up that had to come first but now i have the most of it under conttrol now it's time to start getting some tournaments set up to play.

***************************************************************************************************************
i almost forgot that the WPT world championship was on it started on the 18th so i've caught the game from the final 62 with the top 50 getting paid so i think i've timed it good to catch the action,the WPT never gets as many players in it's championship as the WSOP does (with the WSOP having some 6000 plus people entering and the WPT 337 ) but i think that makes for a better game as i think the fewer the players the less luck is involved and it comes down to skill the majority of time,
the top ten so far

.	1	Steve	Billirakis	1,722,000
.	2	Matthew	Hyman	1,663,000
.	3	Mark	Seif	1,315,000
.	4	Nenad	Medic	1,306,000
.	5	David	Singer	1,116,000
.	6	Blake	Cahail	1,059,000
.	7	Phil	Ivey	1,036,000
.	8	Nick	Binger	1,036,000
.	9	David	Baker	952,000
.	10	Freddy	Deeb	932,000

nice to see phil ivey up there.

good luck at the tables all

random rambling

i tell you i swear my 2 year old knows what he's doing when i'm playing poker the other night he was climbing up on me going under my chair jumping up and down and around me and passing toys to me as i was trying to play meaning i didn't pay attention and lost the majority of my money as soon as that happened he walked off, i still think he had a grin on his face sniggering as he went away.

as part of my simplifying things i ended up getting rid of some more poker rooms from my computer which means i am down to 10 and am done i have the ones i want and that's it for me, i kept getting offers and promos sent to me but now no more it started to get too much,now i can just concentrate on these 10 which i think is plenty for me to jump from tournament to ring games and keep my interest.

i played an APL game the other night my first in ages a lot of changers since i last played new director and an extra 3 games on a week taking it to 8 a week now i think , i'm spoilt for choice,not to fond of free pub league poker tho but it's still a fun night to meet up with friends,found i wasn't the only one to think it lets bad habits slip into your game had 2 other players tell me the same thing when i was there ,was thinking i might of been the only one to think so.

i still find myself playing around with twitter while in between hands of poker i'm addicted i think so if your on twitter look me up davo_77 and follow along and say g'day , every now and than i'll post up a few hands from the game i'm in.
haven't had a sports bet for awhile been sticking to the horses they seem to be treating me better of late.

might start playing a few hands in some h.o.r.s.e later on i'm finding it helping in other games besides hold em in which i'm not all that good at still trying to improve my Omaha, razz was a surprise liked it more than i thought i would.

that's all i got for now good luck at the tables

this and that

hey all back again finally april and that means some more games i get to play with the AOPL with the new room (red kings) hosting our games if all goes well,i might get a chance to play a couple of extra games as well later on i manage to make the final table in my last 3 games i think it was so i might now be able to do a couple of buy ins if time allows.(here's hoping).

i'm trying to break the hoodoo that seems to be following me with live games mainly APL everytime lately something either pops up or happens and i don't make the game,it's been about a month or so now since i've made it to a game, last time it was the car think i'll walk to the game tonight.
