The Last of the International Playboys (Poker Edition)

Good luck! ♦

Not really a very interesting hand but certainly one I thought I could have played better. . Any thoughts? Considering he had nothing at the end maybe I couldn't have made any more from him.

Hello clandestineAl,

Cool, ya opened a blog! Wish ya luck.

How is NL10 running? Treating you well?

Best Regards.

weeee! welcome to our blog section. this is where the cool guys hang out obviously ♦ you need to put some non-poker blog entries in here. teach the young uns about the womens

also have you met the TheShade? he just loves redheads.

Thanks for the welcome guys and gals. Yes it's going well so far Veriz, all thanks to you. Running about 13BB/100 just now. I'm going to start playing one or two MTTs on sundays now as way to mix things up a bit.

Non poker related things? You mean people do other things other than poker??? I'm moving some place tropical in the next couple of weeks so I will hopefully have lots of things to update then.

I remember seeing in another blog on here that someone was going to get a pet polar bear. Who was it? Twice T maybe? Well I am calling him out. Prop bet as to who gets their exotic pet first. Well I am going to get a pet peacock. Does anyone else have one? I couldn't have one here in Scotland as it would die from the cold or alcohol poisoning.

So as featured in this picture. Top tip for getting a woman or a peahen. Put some food on the ground and then sneak up behind the women while she is eating.

maybe you meant the philippine crew? theyve got a tiger.

I just played in an MTT and cashed 426th out of 7355 after about an hour and a half. I think I played about 12 hands. If this is what it is going to be like every sunday I might have to give up my MTT plans and just keep playing cash. It was so boring. What is the secret to making it more enjoyable? Or is it only enjoyable due to the big pay day it could bring?

Add more MTTs. ♦

Thanks for the top tip Veriz Then I can play 24 hands in 1 and a half hours

Just played a little bit today but then the tables really dried up. It's really annoying sometimes having so many small stacks at the table. You wait for ages to get a good table and then 5 minutes later it has 5 small stacks on it. How does everyone else combat this?

Interesting hand from today...

I can only imagine he plays it this way with a flush draw. Well if he had fired again on the turn I would have been in a tough spot and I think I would have had to have folded it. Maybe he calls with AQo. I know I sometimes do. Should I have got it all in on the flop to protect against a flush. Could he have played it this way with Kx of spades hand?

Didn't play very well today. I was firing with nothing on the turn too many times OOP. I need to get out of that bad habit. My cbet is at 100% so I need to get this down too. I should have ended this session with around $20+ so I need to tighten up my play again. I think my game on NL10 is pretty good when I am playing properly. I maybe need to start playing 6 tables to stop playing stupid hands. I am for sure getting better though.

A hand when I fired on the turn when I shouldn't have. I think my cbet is standard

This should actually be $385.76 but I transferred $14 to my poor wee donk of a mother who bust the last bank roll I gave to her.

I have got into watching Mad Men and I stumbled upon this future Mrs. ClandestineaAl. Why don't women dress like this any more???

Just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying your blog. I hate you because it's funnier than my blog, but I hate you in a friendly, collegiate way. Keep it coming.

jb

Where from Scotland r u?
And the polar bear guy was Shevshenko if I remember correctly

I hate you too JB

@The Shade
I live just outside Glasgow at the moment. Have you been to Scotland before? It's a horrible place. I'm going somewhere tropical in a few weeks though so I can handle it for now. I had a look at your blog. I think we have a similar taste in women

Haven`t been there yet but I want to study there ♦

Redheads?

I like the crazy evil redheads. What university do you want to go to?

Abertay,Dundee (my main choice) and 2nd choice form Scotland was Glasgow Caledonian.

I would go for Glasgow, Edinburgh or even Aberdeen if I were you. Not much to do in Dundee I'm afraid

buuut they have the best course in my field so if they take me I am going there + Glasgow and Edinbur are jsut half an hour away anyway. That`s shorter than my travel time to my high school ♦
AND EBST PART IS, its fokking free ♦ Weee, I love recession ♦
