MADMAC's GET ON...

Of course yesterday was a crossbar 2nd again even though it drfited and ran at 10's. Played the £20 rebuy at G-Sheffield last night and won only one hand in the two hour rebuy period. Went back after the break and after calling a raise on the button with QT suited, the flop comes 8 high with my flush draw. They all check to me so of course short-stacked I shove only to run into a set in the sb. I make my flush on the river but of course it pairs the board and gives him the boat. Out early, both me and Brion went for a lovely curry at the Shapla and then returned to play some dealers choice; this went quite well and I recovered most of my buyins - happy days!

Todays 2nd place finishers:

16.05 Ayr - Tawzeea 7/2
17.05 Warwick - Tricky Situation 7/1
20.00 Kempton - Fantasy Gladiator 7/2

I've bundled these up in a patent to a measly £1 just for fun - GL Punters!!!

YES THAT'S RIGHT - IT'S BACK - RETURN OF THE MAC!!!

After a short gee gee punting absence I'm back on the horse and it's a 2pt win bet:

17.55 Salisbury - Mohanad 7/1

GL Punters!!!

A Journey South...errr and then back north again!!!

I'm back from the big smoke and had a great time, although poker results were a crossbar to be honest. Me and Brion played the £500+£50 2-day event at the Vic on Weds/Thurs and after a very slow start I was just getting back into it and collecting chips, but then went out in two hands. I raise from early with 99 and a short stack goes allin from the button, which I call and run into KK, then same guy raises my bb and I shove with AK and run into QQand I'm out.

Thankfully Brion puts in a better performance and knocks out Bepe' De Marco in 16th place on the bubble, who takes it really gracefully thumping the table and shouting 'ferkin bubble again ffs etc etc.' This puts Brion on 148k with 2.2m in play and 15 left. When the table folds to the sb who raises and Brion sees QQ in his BB, of course he 3-bet shoves and is more than happy when the sb snaps him and shows JJ. This now being a pot for the chip lead he's in great shape to win us some serious wonga, until that is, a ferkin Jacob is the first card on the flop. Brion takes this more gracefully than Greco but we still had to go out and get smashed to shake it off.

We managed to catch a bit of Gus Hansen in the Empire WSOPE Heads Up, while we could still focus that is!!!

Played the £100 rebuy at the G-Casino Sheffield last night, only to go out 18th in a 2-stage death of TT v A5 allin pre and he rivers the Ace, then my K9 allin pre is no match for the chip leaders JQ when two Jacobs hit the board - bollox, however yet again, Brion makes the final and puts 10% in the kitty for our shared big tourney fund.

Not looked at the horses for a week and won't bother today, GET ON is back tomorrow maybe...

Who's ur Daddy?

After dragging £500+ from Friday's private invite only, dealers choice cash game, I totally owned last nights £50 rebuy at the G-Casino Sheffield. We get to the final table and I'm 3rd in chips and they all want to start talking about deals, but last night I wasn't making any deals. After a quite short heads-up with soft Alan I emerge the victor and £3400 better off......Watch out London here I come........

Recent Form - A Quick count up...

I've just spent a few minutes totting up my recent cashes in poker and I get it to around £9k in winnings since 1st July, obviously there are entry fees to deduct and the odd cash loss but I reckon I'm clearing about £6k profit. Not bad to say I'm only really playing 2-3 nights a week...TOOT TOOT!!!!!

Long may it continue.....

MADMAC's GET ON...

Let's deal with the poker first and Sunday's £50 rebuy was very uneventful but I killed the cash again and left £400+ for the night. Last night was the £20 rebuy again where I won one hand in the 2hr rebuy period and got sets busted all over the place. I finished up being into the comp. for £280 but had a change of fortune in the post rebuy period, making the final and finishing 7th for £380. So after I paid my 10% buddy his £10 and had a steak supper, I left in profit to the tune of £70; not a lot but it could have been much worse.

I have a couple of horses for you today so without further ado, here they are:

16.10 @ Yarmouth - Ajaafa 11/2
17.20 @ Ayr - Geojimali 8/1

Just a 1pt singles and a 1pt double for me - GL Punters!!!

MADMAC's GET ON....

I played the £20 rebuy at G-Casino Sheffield last night, but after a reasonably steady start my 99 loses to AK allin pre and then it all goes downhill. I don't think I won a hand after that and went on a frantic rebuy stage, which left me £100 lighter and also still with no chips. I then have to fork out another £40 for a rebuy and top-up to still only have £3k after the rebuy period. This could have been tripled after I limped with QT suited in early but this was popped allin and called and so I passed. Of course V 44 & 99 I would have been in good shape with a Q high flop and a set on the river, instead I manage to get it allin behind blind vs blind and don't improve. So with an early tournament exit I move onto £2/£2 dealers choice, which turns out to be a major rollercoaster with me allin with £60 left in my wallet and then leaving with £800+. So in the end it's turned out nice again ant' it Aunt Sally.....yes it has Worzel!!!

On to today's cards and I have a patent for you which I've had to a whole english pound and potentially returns £809ish:

15.35 Epsom - Plutocraft 7/1
17.05 Bath - Nepotism 10/1
17.25 Doncaster - Roker Park 11/2

Oh and apparently the LAPT (Latin American Poker Tour) goes to Argentina, where all the women look like this (In my dreams)

Poker Update

After three tournaments spanning a week to 10 days I was finally back to winning ways in the £50 rebuy at G-Casino Sheffield on Sunday night. I managed to scrape to the final table and although I was determined not to do any deals, all the table wanted too and finally succumbed. So as the short stack on the table with eight left I did a deal which gave me better than a 4th place finish.

No good in last night's £20 rebuy, eventually going allin short stacked utg with AQ suited only to run into KK in the SB. A valiant 18th of 61, however on a plus side I had no rebuys and just the top-up so it only cost me the minimum.

MADMAC's GET ON...

16.30 @ Brighton 9. Azaday 9/4
