jT Gets Deep Online... and a new name!

I joined Soxy's Uncover Poker last night and it's been good to me so far.

I recommend it to anyone who plays online.

I made it to the final table in the $2500 re-buy tournament tonight, and ended up finishing 3rd... scooping nearly $400.

Click on the image above to see my final hand. I'm in the small blind with King, 10 and I'm second in chips... the chipleader is the big blind so I raise it up and he flat calls. I flop top pair and check, he makes a minimum raise so I push all-in for the chiplead... and he smooth calls with pocket Aces!!!

Sneaky bastard!

Ah well, he made it to the top three for a reason.

Nice one.

Oh, and if you're wondering why I am AnteHerojT on UP, it's because some GIMPOID has already stolen AnteVirusjT.

AUTUMN SERIES - HEAT TWO RESULTS

Click on the leaderboard to see a larger version.

44 players contested the £1400 pot and congratulations to Craig Hartley, who won the heat.

Ashton has been playing a solid game too and has taken the runner-up slot in both heats so far - putting him  at the top of the leaderboard!

I thought Jason was going to dominate this one as he built up a chip lead in the later stages but was sucked-out by Lisa on the final table for a big chunk of his chips when Lisa spiked her gut shot straight.

I made it to the final table with an above average stack but started to bleed chips and needed to double-up or steal some dead money. I made a move into the chip leader, which is never a good idea at the best of times, and he happened to be holding Ace, King suited at the time! I finished in 7th place... no money but at least I have some points on the board.

It was a good heat and I had to turn seven players away as we were so busy - so members, GET YOUR NAMES DOWN EARLY!

Only members can reserve a seat from now on, the rest is first come first served and the buy-in for non-members in £20 + £4 rather than the member rate of £20 + £2.

AUTUMN SERIES HEAT TWO - THIS FRIDAY!!!

Aces a Curse at the Pomme...

I was involved in the sickest hand ever yesterday in the cash game at the Pomme.

I was sat at a crazy table, lots of loose play and nobody particularly worried about pushing all their chips into the middle.

I'm dealt pocket Aces (both red) and decide to limp in as I am sure that someone is going to raise it-up. Sure enough, someone makes it £10 to go. Someone re-raises to £30 and two people call before me. I announce a raise and throw my £30 in. The pot is £156 and I push all my chips in. Players fold around the table but I get a caller. Now, I didn't realize someone was still in the hand so I flip my cards over, showing my Aces. I'm gutted as I do myself out of another potential caller. The player thinks about it and calls, flipping over 4, 6 suited, even though he SAW I WAS HOLDING ACES!!!

The other player was holding Ace, King. Anyway, the lunatic flops a 6 and rivers another one for trips and I lose a £700 pot.

Within 20 minutes, the same player is involved in another massive pot. He is raised on the flop, which doesn't look particularly dangerous and then is put all-in on the turn. He calls, and flips over his own pair of aces. His aggressive opponent shows an open-ended straight and sure enough, he hits his straight on the river, taking all the chips.

Wow, solid poker...
