Don't Cash Out This Time For F*** Sake


Around 6 months ago my roll hit $10k and I was excited about spinning it up at higher levels, sadly real life issues kicked in and various bills, the most annoying being a $1k dental bill came in and had to be dealt with. I used my funds and my roll went down to around $2.6k.

This time I am more determined to build from here. I have a trip to Italy coming soon so may need a grand from here max but after that I will try to build big.

High Stakes - The Sam Trickett Story


Sam Trickett is the biggest UK poker tournament winner of all time. He is also in the top 3 in the world all time winners according to the hendonmob website.

He was working his way to becoming a professional footballer when an injury put paid to that. After that he found poker.

His most notable career highlight was taking second place at the WSOP Big One for One Drop scooping a whopping $10.1m.

I just watched an interesting documentary about his life story.



Here is the 4-part film:

Roman Baths (In Bath)

Location In The UK
The Roman Baths are historical site in the English city of Bath. The location is visible in the map here:

The baths are below street level and the buildings are above. The main parts of the site are: the Sacred Spring, Roman Temple, Bath House and Museum.

More than 1 million people visit the attraction each year and I was there recently for a day out.

Rain water falls on the nearby Mendip Hills, it percolates down through limestone aquifers to a depth between 2,700 metres and 4,300 metres where geothermal energy raises the water temperature to between 64°C and 96°C. With pressure the heated water rises back to the surface along faults in the limestone. 

I drank some of this warm water. It tasted pretty normal. It is completely safe to drink at the spa water bore-hole which was sunk in 1983 in the Pump Room. Mrs Rosh refused to drink the water.

Here are some pics from the day:








From the site you can also see Bath Abbey:



In The Museum:






On route to the site I briefly stopped off to see Stonehenge:

The money did go in on the river though, would have been worse (or better :) ) if it was AI on the turn:

Macmillan Cancer - Poker Grindathon 2


Its been a while since I did a poker grindathon for charity.

The last time round I did it for Sport Relief. This time I have chosen Macmillan Cancer. They are an excellent charity that support cancer victims through their treatment.

I will be giving half my poker winnings today to the charity. Lets hope I have a big winning day..!! 

I plan to do at least 8 hours at the tables and at the end I will ship 50% of profits to Macmillan. If I end up losing I will send a $50 donation anyway.

To find out more about the charity click this link:

Perfect River For The Perfect Villain + Giraffe

Most regs would probably get away on the river or I would have to make a smaller raise to get the call but this guy was a big whale and any ace is getting the call.

July 2013 Review


I managed to get some decent volume again in July.

The month started off really well and I think I won around $1,300 in the first week. I then dropped around $1.8k in the second week only to go on a mad heater and win $2k in 20k hands which was nice.

The rest of the month was quite disappointing and it swung up and down but stayed pretty stagnant after the 20k hand heater.

I did have a few brief sessions at NL200 which didn't go too well as I played like a donk. I will shoot these tables again in August.

I am also planning on adding a little 6-max again to see if I can crack that version of the game.



The final numbers for July are as follows: 

189,760 Hands Played
26,114 VPPs
91,399 FPPs

+$1,169 (Cash Game Winnings)
+$100 (Set Your Goal Bonus - Part 2)
+$1,600 (FPP Cash Bonus)
-$27 (Tournament Losses)
+$59 (Live Cash Game Winnings)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
+$2,901 (Total Month)


The Ytd numbers are as follows: 

1,169,887 Hands Played
151,165 VPPs
529,078 FPPs

+$5,271 - Jan
+$2,064 - Feb
-$235 - Mar
+$3,672 - Apr
+$1,924 - May
+$5,098 - Jun
+$2,901 - Jul
--------------------------------------------------------------------
+$20,696 (Total Year)


GL to all in August....
