Poker Lunacy Saturday!

Well what can I say about saturdays game... it was a Wild and aggressive one...

We also played with the 2 pack system with one pack being shuffled and made ready for the next deal whilst the other deck was in play, this made for a much faster game and we all got to see many more hands which was great. I think people will agree that it was a nice addition to the game, so thanks to Adam for this idea.

We only had 6 people so it was a bit shorthanded and everyone had decided that we would not be playing for any player of the year points this week due to the lack of people but we would increase the intial buy in to €15 and increase the chips to 3000 to make it a bit more fun.... And fun it most certainly was.

It was one of the most fast paced action based games I have played in so far it was so incredibly fast that Brian had rebought already after the first crazy hand before Liam had even arrived and then again within 10 minutes after that... like I said it was a bit crazy.

Eventually Adam was first out followed by Robbert who went out with his pocket 10's aganist Daves K Q. Liam and Andy both went out on the same hand which was probably the craziest hand of the tournament, with Andy on Q J, Liam had A J, and Dave had pocket 9's, and preflop Brian thinking hard for 5 minutes abotu what to do with his apparentlt great hand, he was unsure but decided to fold (later to find out he folded K Q, great fold though).

FLOP : 9 A 8

Dave hit a set of 9's on the flop, Liam hit his ace and Andy had a gutshot staightdraw.

Turn : 10

Andy hits his straight 8 through to Q and Dave was screaming for the board to pair up and give him a full house, and then comes the river.....

River : 8 The board pairs and gives Dave a fullhouse and two people are knocked out leaving Dave an Brian to go heads up, Liam out in 4th with slightly less chips and Andy out in 3rd, and Brian incfedbily happy that he folded.

Eventually the game came down to the classic showdown of two overcards against a pair. Dave held AK and Brian pocket 9's but a King on the flop and no improvement for Brian meant that Dave took down the match this week.

Anyway I am already looking forward to this weeks game!!! See you all saturday I hope.

BEEBZZ smashing it up!!

I have been watching Beebs dominating a 10 cent tournament on pokerstars and he is currently raking in the chips! but I had to post this sick hand that was just played, really sick.

you are a cruel man BEEBZZ!! Cracking Aces like that but great play too!!!

I think this is a good lesson on why you shouldn't slow play aces because you give people the chance to beat you up!! Although the guy did keep raising, beebzz stack was too big and it allowed him to call everything. and he caught his 10 on the turn, it could have been dangerous had it not happened as it was easy to think you were ahead in this situation!!

Game Friday NOT saturday!

This week's game will have to take place on Friday instead of Saturday due to other commitments. If we get enough players that is... otherwise it might have to wait another week!

Please send Dave an email to let him know if you can make it!

Sorry for that, next week things should be back to normal!

Donkeyfish Training is here!!

Guys I have created a new site for us...

You can get to it thorugh the links section in this right hand column and also through the link in this post!!

This is called Donkeyfish training and will primarily be for us sharing techniques, strategy and anything that will help us improve our game.

I think there will be a lot of focus on online play here and I will be installing Brian and Adam as administrators also to the site so we can build up a nice collection of learning tools for us all to improve our game.

Also the URL for our blog has changed to get my tenakalaz name out of it and to add our Donkeyfish name to the URL and make it ours and not just from me. Adam and Brian have also been added as moderators!

I hope you all enjoy!!

The new site is available here!!

Late Match Report

Sorry for the delay guys, I have been a bit under the weather so the report will be a little rusty.

What we do know is the Roy won another one to be the highest cashing player so far this year!!! Adam taking down his first cash and Dave managing to mess up and make enough mistakes to throw away his chip lead all on his own and all to adam who caught 9's and Q's in the BB both times to call Daves semi bluffs and go from short stack to chip leader in 3 hands.

The last hand was a coin flip with Adam slightly ahead but Roy manged to catch with his trip 3's to take it down.

So well done to Roy.

Next match should be in a week or so and I should be feeling better and I think I am going to be taking mroe notes during the match and recording more info to make the match reports that little bit better!!!

Thanks to the guys who are posting their own reports and keeping us posted on their own progress online, its great to read about, and maybe I will have something more to post on that soon!!

see you all soon
