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:

Sitting Here Laughing
If you don't laugh you will simply cry :)
My bad run stretch is now getting close to the 4 month mark.
I am very chilled at the tables though and taking the beats well as they keep coming.
I am very pleased with my cool, calm and collected play over the last 2 days.
I get a wry smile on my face now every time I get AA as I start thinking: will I lose with it AI pre flop or will I just get stacked post when someone jams their Top Pair and hits 2 pair or trips on the river, lol.
Today's visual just sums up the run:
It is very easy for poker players to forget the real value of money with the swings we go through at various levels. I watched an interesting BBC TV series recently called 'Welcome to India' which was about life today in the 2nd most populated nation. One of the case studies was a dude who made tea cups from mud. One of his quotes was something like 'if I work 14 hours I can break-even, if I work 18 hours then I can make a nice profit. He was referring to like $5 or more for that shift.
I will fight hard to get back to winning ways and will try to never forget the real value of money in world terms.
The good news is that I am now completely back to NL50, playing mainly ZOOM for the moment. With a $1,600 bonus due in a couple of days I am now comfortably rolled at around $4k which means I will not have to drop down to NL25 any time soon, hopefully....
I need around 47k VPPs to get to 200k and around 62k VPPs to get to 200k + an extra $1,600 bonus before 1st Jan. If I can manage to not cash-out too much then I should build my roll and make the jump to NL100 and then getting these VPPs should be easy.

Graham Norton Show
For those who have never watched it, it is a comedy chat show that is broadcast on BBC1 on Friday nights.

The Band on the night was the Arctic Monkeys.
It was an excellent show and if you get the chance to watch BBC1, then its on at 22:30.

Come Fly With Me.............
Anyway, if you like that show then you probably have a similar taste in comedy to myself.
If you have never watched the show 'Come Fly With Me' then you need to get hold of the dvd or download it. There is only 1 series so far with 6 episodes.
It is British Humour at its funniest. It's created by the Little Britain guys David Walliams and Matt Lucus. I think it is way better than Little Britain though.
He are some of the characters and a short clip of one of the sketches:

The Million Pound Drop
I was on the show as an audience member on Friday and apart from a lot of standing around it was good fun. My ugly mug was on cam too on a few occasions.
For those who don't know, the quiz show works like this: the contestants (couples) receive £1m at the start of the show which is theirs to keep. To walk out with it however they must answer 8 general knowledge questions correctly.
Each question is multiple choice and they must bet all of the money on one or more of the answers by placing it on drops. They keep the amount that they bet on the correct answer and move on to the next question. If they answer question 8 correctly the keep what they have left.
They show we went on had both teams win which almost never happens. The second couple also won the highest amount ever on the show, £250,000..... nice pay day.
Now I have had a taste of it I will be applying to go on as a contestant. Would love to get a shot..!!

Show Me The Funny - Live at the Hammersmith Apollo
The show lasted 6 weeks and saw the contestants gig at different venues all over the country.
Their audiences included Liverpool ladies, rugby players and a load of school children. Each week the weakest comedian is voted off until 3 remain for the final.
Yesterday was the live final at the Hammersmith Apollo. I was lucky enough to secure a couple of tickets and went along to see quite an entertaining show. The 3 acts were all pretty good and the eventual winner was Patrick Monahan.
The Show can be found here.

Movie Review: The Inbetweeners Movie
I discovered the tv show quite late on as they were beginning the 3rd series. I quickly caught up with the previous 2 batches and immediately became a fan.
On Thursday I went to catch the film and wasn't disappointed. You pretty much know what to expect.... more of the usual non sense and buffoonary which is all good fun.
Schools out and the guys are all going to be moving on with their new lives. Before that there is time for a lads holiday in Malia, Crete.
Simon is dumped by his girlfriend and agrees that a holiday will cheer him up. They end up in an absolute dump of a hotel and soon hit the streets. The guys get lured into a 'banging' club which turns out to be empty but its too late as they have paid their entry fee. They meet a group of ladies and make their moves...
The film builds up to a big boat party where Simon will attempt to win back his ex, who incidently is also on holiday in the same place. Between Arrival and the Boat Party they go through many ups n downs...
If you're not sure then let me assure you it's a good watch
Verdict: 7.3/10
They are all great characters but I think Will is my favourite

Sitting with the Limpers....
I usually play the £1/£2 game which has a max buy-in of £400 ($650). I put my name on the wait list and also put myself down for the £1/£1 game (£200 max buy-in). I got called almost instantly for the latter as the wait list for my normal game was about 5 long.
It was quickly apparent that this was a really good table. Unfortunately I had the 3 most active players to my left but it was still good to be at the same table.
It is the first that I have played a live cash game in which I can say for sure that I was easily the best player at the table. Its amazing how much people give away from random strategy comments that are so wrong. You have to figure if they are levelling you or just don't have a clue. These lot were just not that good or knowledgeable.
My biggest pot came only after about 5 hands in. I opened UTG with KQss and the 2 aggro players directly to my left folded but the 3rd guy who was very active too called. I opened to 7x for some reason and immediately thought wtf, why did I do that. It's just what the others were doing so I did too, donk. Everyone else folded. Dream flop for me as it came down 346sss. I knew that if I checked here he would bet and I could check raise but that may seem to strong. With the low cards he could easily have an overpair and put me on 2 big cards chasing another spade. I decide to cbet and bet around 3/4 pot. He insta calls. The turn is 2h was puts a one card straight out there with still all low cards. I Hollywood for a few seconds before leading another 3/4 pot sized bet. He insta calls again. He must have like 77-TT I reckon. The river is another blank from my POV and is the Jd. I have the 3rd nuts on this board and he will rarely have a flush here. I bet again around 3/4 pot again and he insta calls then mucks as I show and I take down my biggest pot of the night for around $250.
I only played for 2hrs or so before getting bored and deciding to go home and fire up stars. I won most of the pots that I played past the flop. I lost a few where I called pre flop raises then folded on the flop. I made a small win for the night.

Here is DN making a great play:
