2011-09-08T04:12:00.000-07:00

Forgive me followers for I have sinned, it's been a few months since my last confession and for the lack of posts I apologise. In my defence I was on a monster live tournament rush for 2 weeks then went to Florida for 3 weeks to spend it all. The return of oldest listed race meeting in the world has inspired me to share with you my tips for today. So without further ado read them and weep.....

1.25 Roger Sez 6/1 (p)

1.55 Chachamaidee 7/2 (p) (nap)

2.25 Bogart 11/4 (p)

West Leake Diman 16/1 e/w (p)

Cockney Dancer (p)

3.00 Set to music 5/2 (p) (NB)

3.35 Hyperlink 10/1 (p)

Un-named Fave (p)

4.10 Farlow 8/1 (p)

Barnet Fair 8/1 (p)

Chachamaidee should walk the 1.55. Bogart is is fine form and should be close in the 2.25 but there seems to be a lot of noise for Cockney Dancer, but with only one run in a class 5 to go on I'm unsure. West Leake Diman is a great value e/w @ 16/1.

Set to music just gets better and better the further it goes and won its last race with plenty left in the tank. The extra 2 furlongs should suit and it's the Queen's horse on ladies day, need I say more.

(nap = nap of the day) (NB = Next Best) (p = pisspot perm (12 lines @ £1 = £12 total stake))

please note the opinions on this page are only mine and should be ignored at all costs, bets usually lose but sometimes win, only bet what you can afford to lose and if you think you have a problem with gambling you definately have.

If I had to just play online poker all the time I would have to top myself. This is my exit path from half a million chips to out in the $5 turbo rebuy $15k gtd....

The blinds are big so its allin or pass basically....

Hand 1 - JJ v 99 I flop my set and 99 makes a 4 card flush on the river

Hand 2 - AQ v 89 & 78 I flop my Q but they both make a straight

Hand 3 - I run AJ into a short stacked AA

Hand 4 - A8 v KQ I flop the 8 and he turns the K (same guy as JJ v 99)

Hand 5 - Finally I'm allin for just over one BB utg with AJ suited and the bb has T5 off, The flop comes 789 and of course I'm going to hit my J, what else would happen......Boooom there it is on the river, thanks for coming!!!

I did ask the 99/KQ guy if he ever got his chip in infront but no response was forthcoming!

Is there any wonder I can never win at Jokerstars, they don't even attempt to make the bullshit creative, as soon as you see your opponents cards you know what beat is coming your way!!!

Rant over.......

Royal Ascot - Day 4

2011-06-17T05:15:00.001-07:00

Apologies for no blog yesterday but I didn't have time and was too excited about Bapak Chinta potentially winning the 1st race and the rest of the day being a party.

I have however thoroughly studied today and it's it couldn't be easier, so here's my thoughts:

2.30 Inetrobil 6/1 (p)

Lilys Angel 12/1 (p) e/w

3.05 World Domination 8/1

Glens Diamond 10/1 (p)

3.45 Theyskens Theory 5/1 (NB) (p)

4.25 Green Destiny 7/4 (nap) (p)

5.00 Eternal Heart 7/1 (p)

Halifax 7/1 (p)

5.35 Our Jonathon 8/1 (p)

Excellent Guest 20/1 (p)

I don't like the favourite in the 1st but I may have slipped up there, I'm just not a fan when they've only run at dodgy tracks in Ireland. I have a thing about World Domination it was 20's antepost for the Derby and came into 7/2 then they pulled it when it ran badly against Carlton House recently over 1m2f. It was so impressive on it's debut over todays distance I've had to have a big bet on it.

Theyskens Theory I am very bullish about that's why it's my NB. I had a tip for Green Destiny and I don't think it can lose to be honest which pushes it up my nap of the day. As for the last 2 races once again it's pinstickers paradise time and I can see these two being the pisspot busters.

Royal Ascot - Day 2

2011-06-15T05:26:00.000-07:00

Moderate success yesterday with my nap of the day coming home and doubling it with Frankel, but as usual with the big meetings you feel inclined to have a bet on every race and your profit gets easily pissed away on e/w punts.

A win is still a win though so without further ado let's move on to day 2's selections:

2.30 Codemaster 15/8 (nap) (p)

3.05 I'm a Dreamer 4/1 (p) (NB)

Seta 5/1 (p)

3.45 So You Think 1/2 (p)

Twice Over 14/1 (e/w)

4.25 Eton Forever 14/1 (p)

Start Right 7/1 (p)

Brick Red 25/1 (p)

5.00 Shumoos 5/4 (p)

5.35 Rougette 14/1 (p)

Humdrum 11/2 (p)

I have doubled Codemaster with Shumoos 5/1 and also included So You Think for a treble 8/1

I'm not sure what's happening with Twice Over, I have won bundles of money on that horse but it appears to be out of form at the moment. However if it's back to form it will give So You Think a good run for the money and that's why I'm having it e/w 14's is a ridiculous price!

The 4.25 is the pisspot buster and to be honest it was too much for me to work out.

GL Punters !!!

Royal Ascot - Day 1

2011-06-14T04:31:00.000-07:00

After being tipped about 'Medici Time' on Friday and it duly obliging at 25/1 my sportsbook bankroll is looking at lot healthier (Well anything above zero is a start!) This new found wealth enables me to have a dabble at Royal Ascot, so without further ado here are my selections:

2.30 Canford Cliffs 5/4 (p) (nap)

Rio De La Plata 25/1 (e/w)

3.05 Sole Power 8/1 (p)

Tangerine Trees 20/1 (p) (e/w)

3.45 Frankel 1/3 (p)

Neebras 66/1 (e/w)

4.25 Brocklebank 16/1 (p)

Fulbright 18/1 (p)

Mezmaar 5/1 (p)

Power 5/1 (p)

5.00 Junior 4/1 (p) (NB)

Zigato 9/2

5.35 Magic City 10/1 (p)

Canford Cliffs is my nap of the day, it would have been Frankel but the price is pointless on it's own. Canford Cliffs always does just enough to win and I can't see that changing today, I don't even like the challenger Goldikova and have therefore disregarded it. I have also doubled Canford and Frankel for a tasty 3/1. Rio De Le Plata is way better than 25/1 and is therefore an e/w must.

In the 3.05 Sole Power won a class 1 over the distance at York and I believe they have been just giving it some run outs since with a view to winning this. Tangerine Trees is way better than 20/1 and again is an e/w must.

Frankel can't lose, so obviously we need to look for a good e/w punt and I like nothing else on the card other than 'Neebras' and I liked it at 100's but 66/1 is still massive.

The 4.25 is a pinstickers paradise so feel free to shut your eyes and and stab yourself in the hand, or you can have some of the four I've listed.

Junior is great on the flat or over the sticks and won over this distance here last year, which is why it's my Next Best and it will definately get a place, it always does!!!

Although the 5.35 looks like a minefield I have studied it profusely and 'Magic City' looks the best class in the bunch.

I've got excited about the Dante' at Donny and this has spurned me into action to produce a blog on the subject. So without further ado here are todays selections:

1.30 Duchess Dora 15/2 (P)

Falasteen 7/1 (P)

2.00 Midday 10/11 (P) (nap)

2.30 World Domination 11/4 (P) (NB)

3.00 St. Moritz 7/1 (P)

Pintura 9/2 (P)

3.35 Night Carnation 4/5 (P)

4.10 Come on Blue Chip 5/1 (P)

For the last race I have also included the un-named fave in the pisspot due to the fact there are lots of maidens in the race, making it 8 lines @ £1 = £8 stake. I don't really like Pintura in the 3pm but there's mad money for it and it won last year, although it's done nothing since. I think World Domination should piss the Dante, but I want it to win the Derby so that's why it's only my (NB).

Well it's the Royal wedding this week and what better way for Liz to pay for it than one of her horses bringing home the bacon today. So with this in mind my bet today is:

15.40 @ Ascot - Free Agent 7/2

and if you want to double it for around an 8/1 return you can include:

16.05 @ Pontefract - Hawaafez 10/11

I'm thinking a 2pt win bet on the Queens horse and a 2pt double.

Mob bosses are running Online Poker........

2011-04-18T04:17:00.000-07:00

So, online poker company owners are being indicted like they are mafia bosses and all because the US government aren't taxing their profits. Here's an idea, give them a fair tax deal, legalise online poker and maybe they can base their companies in the US. Maybe some of these failing Euro economies like Ireland/Portugal want to do a tax deal for such companies so the can base there!

In other news, I played last night's Sunday million on stars, which had a much more sensible field of 6000+ runners rather than the usual 15000+ (every cloud and all that....) No result for me though! I also played the 20 euro rebuy £10k gtd 6 seat on Ladbrokes and went out 8th in a pot for the chip lead to a three-outer of course! Four handed with the blinds @ 2k/4k the button raises to 20k and I reraise from the BB with AT off to 68k, he calls and the flop comes A85 with 2 hearts. The pot is big enough for me here so first to act I ship my remaining 126k and he snaps it and shows A6 off. The turn pairs the board with a 5 and of course he hits a 6 on the river.........

If I start winning these 79/21's I might actually start collecting some cash ffs!!!

Aintree......Day 1

2011-04-07T04:45:00.000-07:00

OMFG it seems like it was only last week I was getting drunk on the black stuff and cheering Big Bucks over the line at Cheltenham and were off again - V. Excited !!!

I still see no reason to oppose the big lad and it should be 12/12 for Big Bucks, although 4/7 is awfully short so it may be worth looking for a big priced 3rd place after BB and GC, or even a tricast. I'm still hot for Wishfull Thinking (nap) in the 16.50 and this will be my big bet of the day @ 2/1; also Denman will get another 2nd behind Carole's Legacy.

Without further waffle and BS here are my selections for Day 1 Aintree:

14.00 Big Bucks 4/7 (1) (P)

Grand Crus 7/2 (2) (P)

Knockara Beau 40/1 (tricast - all the above)

14.30 Zarkandar 4/5 (1) (P)

Grandouet 7/2 (2) (P)

15.05 Carole's Legacy 6/1 (NB) (1) (P)

Denman 11/8 (2) (Forecast)

15.40 Baby Run 7/2 (1) (P)

Terror Alert Levels

2011-03-31T09:19:00.000-07:00

Subject: Terror Alert Levels

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved."

Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even “A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.

Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance."

The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards."They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia , meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

My faithful companion of over 15 years was put to rest on Friday, my lovely dalmatian Elwood, he will be sorely missed - Love you Spotty Bott.!!!

I played online poker last night and in Ladbrokes 20 euro rebuy 10k gtd, I managed a 6th for 300 euros after losing with KK to A7 suited who made a flush and AT v 78 on a flop of A78. It does seem to be a tournament for me though, as that's 12th, 8th and 6th and I've only played it four times I think.

In other news, the Cheltenham festival starts tomorrow and I shall be having a thorough study of tomorrow's card this evening. When I've come up with all the losers I'll put them on here, but if you want some sound betting advice, you could do worse than check out thegame's blog (link at the bottom of this blog)

Tempting Fate.....

2011-03-04T03:48:00.000-08:00

Obviously me banging on about losing with aces just prompted another episode at 3am ish this morning, 12 left again in an online tournament at Ladjokes. Utg raises just over minimum and its folded to me on the bb with AA, once again facing the tournament chip leader. This time I'm getting a bit short stacked and could do with a double up, so I decide it looks weaker if I ship allin and he has the chips to call with mediocre holdings anyway.

So I push allin and he snaps with KQ suited and the flop comes 963 rainbow followed by a turn J and of course, you guessed it, a lovely ten on river for him to make his straight. Oh and this is the guy that the very hand before has just busted AA with his QQ...........!!!!!

I've looked through today's cards and although the best racing is at Newbury, nothing jumps out and there are easier pickings elsewhere. Just a 1pt double for you today, both at Lingfield:

14.00 Spirit of Oakdale 3/1

Pocket Rockets Dilemma.......

2011-03-03T08:29:00.000-08:00

Pocket Rockets, American Airlines, whatever you want to call them pocket Aces are the best starting hand you can get pre-flop in NL Texas Holdem Poker, but are they cursed online and should you play them differently?

You are always pleased to see them but a lot of people will say either you win a small pot or you lose a big pot with them.

I'll give you an example that happened to me this week and I was 99% sure when all the money went in it was the end of my tournament:

It's online at Ladbrokes Poker 2.50 euro rebuy turbo 6 seat, 12 left and I am 5th in chips with just over 300k and the blinds have just increased to 10k/20k with 2k ante. It's folded to me on the button and I have AA and raise it to 51516 or something ridiculous like that leaving me exactly 250k behind. The small blind folds and the tournament chip leader is on the BB with 700k and calls, the flop comes 234 with 2 hearts. First to act he jams it allin and after a quick glimpse to check I have the ace of hearts in my AA I reluctantly call allin. He flips over Kh5h and at this point even though I am still slight fave, like I mentioned earlier, I am 99% sure this is the end for me. There is a glimmer of hope as the board pairs 2 on the turn but if course 7h hits the river and I'm gone in 12th.

I see a lot of people online now going allin preflop with AA and KK no matter what the blinds are or what the pot is in the middle, just to reduce the risk of outdraws.

My question is this - should you play them badly to reduce the risk of outdraws or not?

UKIPT

2011-02-14T06:18:00.000-08:00

Saturday saw me down at DTD in Nottingham for the Pokerstars UKIPT and after 4 hours it was going steady and I was just starting to get busy with the 3-bet reraise. The last hand before the 2nd break and a lady raises in mid-late 550 with the blinds at 100/200, the button reraises to 1700 and I have AK suited in the sb and 16k ish. Upto this point the guy on the button has been having a bad time with me reraising him on a regular basis and is getting a bit annoyed. I'm thinking he just wants to win one hand before the break and he's on the button, so I repop it to 6k hoping to just put it to bed right there. It seems however he has different ideas and after the original raiser folds he ships it allin for 12k. I'm now kicking myself for reraising so much as it's 6k to me to win 18k and even if he has KK I have the right price to call. So I commit the rest leaving me very short at 3300 and he flips AA - DOH! Of course the board doesn't even give him a sweat and my stack gets decimated.

I come back after the break and my table has been broken, I find my new seat and sit down with my pittance. Two hands in and I get 99 in early so I raise to

950 with the blinds now at 150/300 hoping to just pick it up pre or ship it to a reraise. Thi

s guy in late flats it and the flop comes AJ6, we check to the river and I feel he has some of it, to which he shows KJ off. The blinds go through me and I'm now down to 1900, wh

en a guy in mid-late raises for 800 and I ship it with KQ off. He's th

e only caller and he shows 88 and then the dealer proceeds to put an 8 first card on the flop. 'That's no a great start' I say 'I'll get my coat' .....and that as they say was that.....I did get a free T-Shirt though LOL!

Oh well bring on Manchester next month where I will not be overplaying Anna Kournikova.....

Looks good wins Fuck All!

I went down to the G-Casino Sheffield last night to exorcise my demons and play the £50 rebuy, but this was full of donkeys calling every raise with Q6 and flopping QQA v my A9, so that was short lived.

I did however make a return to the dealers choice £5/£5 cash game where I sat with £140 and left with £750, hmmm nice......

Back to Winning Ways...

2011-02-01T05:35:00.000-08:00

Sunday night saw me back to winning ways in live poker tournament play. It was supposed to be the £100 rebuy at the G-Casino Sheffield, but due to the fact that only nine people including me had bought in, they changed it back to the normal Sunday £50 rebuy and put a guarantee of £7.5k on with 50 runners. The field amounted to 54 at the close of buyins so the guarantee was made, but the tournament actually made £8350.

I had a reasonable start with KK holding up in a 3-way allin and thought my plans to smash it were looking good when I slow played the ladies in early and the flop came Q94 with 2 diamonds. I get it allin on the flop 3-way against Q8 and A4 who hits runner diamond for a 4-card flush LOL! I then end up rebuying when my A5 is second best against 22 on an A52 flop. Luck is back on my side though when I get it allin pre 4-way with 78 suited and hit 2 pair, beating QQ and AT etc. So at the end of the rebuy I have 31k with the addon, a very healthy stack.

After the restart two hands take me to 110k. Firstly on the button, blinds 300/600, utg flats it and I raise 1800 with KcQc, the BB calls and so does the limper. The flop comes 975 all clubs, the BB bets min. 600 and utg flats, I make it 2250 the BB folds and then utg goes allin for about 20k. Of course I snap it and he shows Jc8s needing runner runner str8 flush to win - mmmmm nice! The 2nd hand I have AhKh utg and with the blinds now at 400/800 I make it 2400 which is called on the button and the BB. The flop comes AsTs8c and I lead out for 4k which is called by the mad Korean on the button and the BB folds. The turn comes 7d and now I decide a big bet is required to find out where I am and if he's flushing, to make him pay for it. I bet 15k and he flats it - WTF? The river comes 6c and I'm a little concerned as to what he's got so for a bit of pot control I check and he shoves allin for 27k. I have about 32k left so this hand is pretty much my tournament, deciding he's missed his flush I call and he insta-mucks - mmmm nice!

Anyway to cut a long story short I make the final table as chip leader but we end up doing a deal with 8 left and being 2nd in chips I get a deal which is only £100 less than the chip leader and gives me better than 3rd place.

Lets hope this is the start of a nice run of cashes!

After the success of yesterday's two big priced winners I have decided to re-invest on the following pair, both at Huntingdon:

14.45 - Vagrant Emperor 16/1

15.45 - Radius Bleu 11/2

I've had a 1pt e/w single on the first, a 1pt single on the second one and a 1pt double. I'm more bullish about the first one to be fair even though it's the higher priced of the two.

Bad Fold

2011-01-20T04:38:00.000-08:00

I was very annoyed with myself, so much so I didn't even stay for cash I just went home...

I was playing last nights £15gtd £30 rebuy at G-Casino Sheffield and we had just re-started after the rebuy period. A couple of hands in and blinds are 100/200 and I have 7800 chips. A player limps from mid and in the Hi-jack position I raise to 600 with 89 suited, the sb calls (flip-flop) and the limper calls. Before the flop is dealt flip flop checks in the dark and the flop comes 852 rainbow, to which they both check; I bet 1200 and they both call. Before the blank turn '6' even settles on the table flip flop is allin for 5400 and the limper folds. I have 5k left so it's all in to me, I am convinced flip flop has sweet FA, but I only have top pair 8 with a 9 kicker and it's for my tournament life 3 hands after the re-start.

I work through the action in my head and I'm 99% sure I'm infront, but I end up passing and he shows me Q7 off, sweet FA as I thought.

The moral of the story is, don't pass just because it's too early to get knocked, go with your read! Had I called his obvious bluff I would of had 15k+ chips and then when I lost a race 2 hands later with AQ v 33 I wouldn't have been left with 300 chips with the blinds at 200/400, with no way back!!!

As I may have mentioned before, I am very annoyed with myself!

Bring on the DTD grand prix on Friday, where I shall exorcise my demons!

It's been quite uneventful on the live poker circuit for me the last 4 weeks, so on Wednesday I decided to venture back to Napoleons at Owlerton for the £20 rebuy bingo. This tournament had been running well at the G-Casino Sheffield but recent weeks have seen dwindling numbers and it's integrity has been questioned. The result of this was everyone went to Owlerton and they got 84 runners which meant the tourney made the £10k guarantee. I had no luck during the rebuy period and was into it for £180 after the addon, however my luck changed from this point and I made the final. Unfortunately the blinds were massive at £2k/£4k and with only 49k I shoved from the cut off only to run into KK and was out in 9th for £300. Profit is profit though and obviously the change of venue did the same for my fortune. Hopefully this will see a revival for the comps. at Naps....watch this space....

I've no tipped many horses on here lately and that's mainly been due to the fact that I've had a bad run recently and had lost interest. Today however we shall try and kickstart a good run in the jump season with the following pair:

15.05 @ Lingfield 'Seek the fair Lad' 12/1
18.35 @ Wolves. 'Audemar' 4/1

1pt singles and a 1pt double - GL Punters!!!

Dealers Choice is Mental.....Gamble...Gamble...

2010-10-25T03:47:00.000-07:00

I made a mistake in last nights tournament that potentially cost me a cash and won't be repeating it ever again. I have JJ on the bb and the blinds are 200/400 and I have 16k ish, utg raises to 1200 and my m8 whom I have a 5% deal with flats, then short stack goes allin for 2500. Now it's on me and I'm thinking I'm gonna flat to see what initial raiser does because at this point he's my only worry. So I flat it and so does he, so now I know my JJ is the best preflop holding, but at this point my m8 shoves his whole stack of 14k and it's back on me. I ask him wtf he is doing and that I am beating him but pass to see him turn TT and the flop come AAJ. Never again will sentiments and morals get in the way of me taking all his chips, Nuff said!!!

I lost my chips after that allin with 99 v TT which sent me to the dealers choice cash table and the amazing hand I will now describe:

This guy has been winning and it's his button and he says 'this is my last hand guys so lets spice it up a bit'. At this point we are down to 7 players as one has gone for a smoke or something, so he chooses 6 card PLO. Before any cards are dealt it goes 4 & 8 blind with me first to call, so holding KhTh5c6c5h7h I make the call as does the rest of the table upto the 8 blind who then spices it up for the 'last hand guy' by raising 50. I can't possibly pass preflop and call the 50 and at this point the 'last hand guy' bottles it and passes saying he would have called for something sensible like £30 - yeah sure! The £50 gets called in 2 more spots and then the next guy repops the pot for like £50 with £250 or more and at this point I know that everyone still in the hand is going to be allin pre, how can you not? Of course everyone does call and it's also obvious that the dumpling re-popper has AAxxxx, which to be fair is a bit stupid in my opinion!!!

So we are allin pre 6-way with not a flop dealt and a £720ish main pot and a £540ish side pot and the flop comes 7 2 7 giving me a set of 7's, the £50 guy on my right at this point is winning with 22 in his hand. The turn comes a ten giving me a bigger full house and at this point the main pot would be all mine. The river comes a K giving me a bigger full house but another guy also has K7 and we chop the main pot and he wins the £540 side pot.

The Ireland Adventure

2010-10-19T06:10:00.000-07:00

Before we get there I must mention that I cashed in the £20 rebuy at the G-Casino last Wednesday, but it was only 8th for £200.

So Friday morning I rose at 3am to go and pick Daz up for our flight to Dublin for the Boylepoker IPO 2010, which was being held at the Regency Airport Hotel. The tournament started at 12pm and our flight from EMA was 0635, which we just made after trying to get on one to Spain instead! (I was trying to function on 6hrs sleep since Tuesday night) 45 mins is my kind of flight, take off - quick cuppa - Land! This was my first time in Ireland and although Daz said they were the nicest people in the world, you sort of take it with a pinch of salt, but seriously they are! It started with the taxi driver from the airport to the hotel, who unlike anything you get in England, actually said to give him less money than it said on the meter. If that was Sheffield and you offered him 30p less than the meter, he would lock the doors and take you to the nearest police station. Then the guy on the hotel reception lets us check-in at 8.30am instead of after 2pm so we can get a couple of hours kip before the main event starts.

No one wants to hear about my badbeats so to cut a long story short, I go out of the main event after 2 hrs with AA when the guy rivers a 2-outer and the rest of the weekends poker followed a similar pattern. So in poker terms it was a bad weekend for me, but Ireland was great, the tournament and all the side events were run really well, the Guinness was good and the people are out of this world. My only moan would be about how expensive the food and drink are otherwise I would recommend the weekend to anyone and I will certainly like to go back next year.

On to other business and I have a couple of punts for you today as follows:

16.10 Exeter - Royal Max 9/2

First a quick poker catch-up....I played the £50 rebuy Sunday at G-Sheffield only to go out in a 3-way allin pre, my 99 v AK and AJ. I was infront on the 7 high board until the river comes Ks, giving AJ a flush with the Jack of spades. Never mind I managed to win back my buyins and finish £150 up on the night from the dealers choice cash game. I shall be playin the £20 rebuy tonight, which from tonight is now also a £11k gtd with 80 runners, lets hope it makes it and I get back to winning ways. I could do with a nice bankroll to take to Dublin 15-17th October where I will be play the Boylesports IPO 2010 at the Regency Airport Hotel!!!

Just one for you today:

15.20 Ludlow - Whataboutya 10/1

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!

16.05 Ayr - Tawzeea 7/2

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

2010-09-27T05:41:00.000-07:00

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...

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........

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

2010-09-09T06:44:00.000-07:00

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:

Poker Update

2010-09-07T08:47:00.000-07:00

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.

Crossbar Challenge

2010-08-31T05:13:00.000-07:00

Friday's Lucky 15 successfully fell into the category of crossbar challenge as once again what could have been a nice bag of sand ended up a disappointing Lady Godiva. One winner, two seconds and a third.

My final table fever on the poker seems to have ended also, with three complete misses in the last eight days. I have played like a bit of an arse though to be honest making mistakes in the first two and trying to bluff calling stations in the last. I did also get rivered for a £700 pot in 5 card PLO, holing As2sJhQhJd on a flop of JsTs2h. Hitting the flop this hard I wanted to keep a couple of the 6 to flop interested beyond it and led out for £10 into a £24 pot; 4 callers was more than I anticipated but 6c on the turn was probably as safe as it gets. This time I bet £30 into the £64 pot, which gets called in one spot then pot reraised in another for £130 more; folded to me I'm allin for another £130 on top. The £30 caller gets out of the way and reluctantly the re-potter calls with TTQ9x. Still a great spot for me as although he is open-ended the K gives me Broadway, so he's down to three eights (8s gives me the nut flush) and one ten. Of course the dealer goes the the most painful way and stick the case ten on the river. OUCH THAT HURT!!!!!

If I was in the middle of a bad run that might have sent me under, but hey as they say, whoever they are - THATS POKER!!!

No bets today from me, I've been through the cards and can't get excited about anything.

I'm on holiday at the moment, so posts will be limited. I've had a quick look at todays cards and can't see anything of any interest. I played the new £20 rebuy at G-Casino Sheffield last night and made another final table, going out 6th for yet another cash. I'm playing really well at the moment and the results are coming, long may it last.

Yesterday was a bit of a crossbar with the e/w patent returning 2 places for virtually money back and the pisspot having 4 lines running but to no avail. I'm not too disappointed though as the pisspots haven't made decent money yet.

On to today and it's a busy one at Glorious Goodwood so lets start with the pisspot perm:

14.45 2. Borderlescott

16.35 2. Dubawi Gulf
3. Electra Star
17.10 6. Cansili Star
3. Citrus Star

8 Lines @ £1 per line = £8 stake.

Next is a 50p Lucky 31 which returns £8.7k - LOL:

14.10 3. Capponi 6/1
14.45 2. Borderlescott 6/1
15.25 10. Tactic 10/3
16.00 6. Polly's Mark 7/2
17.10 6. Cansili Star 7/1

Then we have a £1 e/w patent that returns £9k - ROFL:

14.45 17. Tropical Treat 11/1 - also a 1pt e/w singles on this one
15.25 11. Betchworth Kid 40/1

There have been no posts for the last few days because I have been away fishing for a few days. It was very relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable with great company and I would like to thank those who attended. Just before I set off for home yesterday, I heard on the radio the sad news of the passing of Alex Higgins. I would just like to say on here as on I already have on Twitter, R.I.P.

Great start to yesterdays treble with High Resolution drifting from 9/2 to 7/1 before the off then still doing the business. It was not to be though as the 2nd leg lost by a neck to the Junkie, but it didnt matter as the last leg only managed a poor 3rd out of 4 runners.

Just two today but there may be an addition depending on how these perform:

14.10 Notts. - Suzy Alexander 6/1

Only one thing I like today and that is 'Cloudy City' in the 14.30 @ Lingfield, surely this is a steering job and for me it's an 8pt win bet.

Disappointing 16th in last nights £50 rebuy at G-Casino Sheffield. You get a 4k starting stack and by the end of the rebuy period I had 50k, but it wasn't to be and I finally went out after reraising allin after a short stack allin A7 off with AQ; only to run into QQ behind. Still it only cost me £56 so at least it was a cheap evening.

I hope you backed the two winners at York on Saturday, turned into a decent day with the double aswell. I don't really fancy anything today but will be having a 1pt win bet on the following just for some interest:

Apologies for the lack of blogs the last few days, I think I have finally got rid of my Trojan Virus, but have also been busy at work. I hope you got the tip on twitter yesterday, an easy 9/2 5pt winner.

After Sunday's poker disappointment I went out Monday night to play the £20 rebuy at the G-Casino Sheffield, to exorcise some demons I guess. Luckily it worked as, even though I just made it down before the end of the late reg. period, I managed a deal with 6 left. The chip leader took £1k, 2nd in chips took £600 and the rest of us bagged £450, which again was a good deal for me being the short stack and 6th only paying £220 on the board.

However, this success was short-lived as I had a shocker on Wednesday in the £20 rebuy at Napoleons in Sheffield. It cost me 10 rebuys and then I lost £200 on the cash, outdrawn at every turn, KK 5 times only won once and that was the blinds.

On to todays nags:

14.45 York - Swiss Diva 6/1
15.10 Newmarket - Fleeting Spirit 7/2

1pt singles and a 1pt double - GL Punters !!!

I played the £50 rebuy at G-Casino Sheffield last night, but after a promising first 2 levels it turned into a bit of a non-event; going out not long after the add-on short stacked with AQ v AK. Rewarded myself with an early night.

I backed the Germans at 6/1 last week for the world cup, that looks massive now!

Thank fuck the football is back on today I had to watch some serious shite on the TV last night. I even got annoyed with Question Time and turned that off to catch up on some kip. Politicians are such a bunch of wankers, Labour are already having a go at the new government over immigration; what about the last 13 years? It's a good job they have non-politicians on the program or there would be no sense or truth spoken at all, it would just be continuous shouts of 'more beer' 'more beer' 'baaa!' 'baaa!'

Oh dear I've come over all Ben Elton, shudder the thought, although people might pay good money to watch that! Maybe I should secure the new domain while it's still available http://www.markcomesoverallbenelton.xxx

Finally a cash at Owlerton

2010-07-01T05:59:00.000-07:00

I played the £20 rebuy at Napoleons at Owlerton, Sheffield last night and for once all went well. The evening started well with a £150 win on the roulette which gave me a free roll on rebuys, which I seemed to be needing early on as I couldn't hit a flop. However it all turned around when nearly everyone limped on my bb and I checked to see a flop with 72 off. The flop came 973 rainbow and checked to me I bet out, but then it gets reraised allin and 2 more call aswell; with 300 bet and only 800 to call during the rebuy period I know I'm behind but throw it in for VALUE. When the turn comes another 7 I'm allin and the other two both call. The river brings a 2 to fill me up and when the other two check I showdown my monster 72 and scoop the lot.

I never looked back from there and at the end of the rebuys I had 17100 increased to 19100 with the double addon. I never really went down below 15k and peaked at 57500 with only 414,000 chips in play, was never really in danger. It turned into a crapshoot on the final table with the blinds getting to 5k/10k but I shoved when I had to and stayed alive. When we got down to 6 we did a deal with £7280 left in the prizepool, which meant the 4 bigger stacks got 1300 and me and the other short stack took £1k each. A very fair deal for me when 3rd place only paid £990, but everyone knows anything can happen.

A successful evening for once but I was knackered getting back in the house at 5am when I had been up from 5.15am on Wednesday morning for a run, so I took the morning off work to get a couple of hours sleep.

No horses today you will be pleased to know, yesterday was a complete miss and there's nothing that excites me today; so until tomorrow BONJOUR!!!

Well backing the outsiders in the football is not working - Doh! After all the build up for last nights game it was very poor viewing, Portugal played like they were defending a 1-0 lead not chasing one. As for yesterdays nags, it was looking good when the first two went in, but unfortunately the last two were poor.

Oh well it's time to get back on the horse again literally, so here are today's:

Apparently David Blaine is said to be well pissed off that his record of doing fuck all in a box for 42 days has been broken by Wayne Rooney! Also the Three Lions badge is set to change to the Three Tampons after the worst fucking period ever in English football history!

I played the £50 rebuy last night at the G-Casino in Sheffield, thinking I could drown my sorrows with a wedge of cold hard cash on the hip. However, it was not to be when, ever popular pro Barry Neville re-shoved my early raise. Of course I snap called with my Kowboys and was delighted to see him flip over the Ladies, it all still looked good on the 9 high flop nut of course the Q hits the turn - That's how I roll baby!!!

No horse tips todays it all looks very dull, but I have had a cheeky 1pt win on Chile to beat Brazil tonight at 11/2. I believe they have a chance if they can keep 11 men on the pitch for long enough and it's a big price in a 2 horse race - COME ON CHILE'

Two seconds again yesterday, a nose and a length and a half, out of the 3 tips, it's so annoying hitting the crossbar all the time.

Another one of the big guns falls in the World Cup with the Italians going out bottom of the group - WOW!

I've had a bet on the football today and I've gone with a pony on the draw in the Brazil v Portugal encounter @ 2/1. My thinking is that Portugal and Brazil will both be content with their places in the next round and won't be risking any injuries, also by finishing 2nd Portugal could well avoid Spain in round 2.

My horse that will finish 2nd today is as follows:

Obviously my plan yesterday worked a treat. Having not won a football bet since 1990, me backing Slovenia for a win/draw guaranteed an England win. I think we can give the German's a game, we always play better against better teams. BRING ON THE TRUMPETS!!!

I played the £20 rebuy at naps in Sheffield last night to no avail, finishing 20th of 61, after being card dead most of the time I finally shoved my short stack with QT suited from late only to run into AQ in the blinds.

I've just had a cheeky 1/2pt trixie today on the following:

14.00 @ Goodwood - Santefisio 9/4
16.40 @ Warwick - Magic Millie 4/1

I had quite a good Ascot last week, mainly due to backing the Gold Cup winner @ 20's LOL, a lump on Rainbow Peak as tipped as my (nap) and a nice bet on Treadwell @ 14's. With regards to Treadwell on Friday, it's not often you go through a card at a big meet and only like one horse in a field of 20+ runners, but Treadwell was the only thing I could fancy in that race :o)

I played a £50 rebuy at G-Casino Sheffield last night, which is a comp. they have stolen from Napoleons, but last night they nailed it by guaranteeing at 11k with 45 runners. They needn't have panicked as word got round and 79 runners produced a prize pool of £11,600, to which the casino added another £1k, meaning a 1st place prize of £4k - awesome!!! Unfortunately I went out 25th after being short-stacked and pretty much card dead. I predict however that this tourney will only get bigger and better, as they are guaranteeing it at £11k for the next 8 weeks leading up to the festival in July. Word will get round and I think it may even touch 100 runners next week.

On to today's nags and it's a bit boring as to be expected after Ascot but I like these two at chepstow:

18.50 Sermons Mount 7/1
20.20 Born to Excel 5/4

8 Lines @ £1 = £8 stake, but you can if you like add in Monterosso in the 3.05 to make it 16 lines, as it will deffo get a place.

Rainbow Peak is my nap of the day and should be a steering job. I also like Puff in the 3.50 as an e/w punt. You could if you like make up a big priced e/w treble with Hortensia, Puff & Treadwell.

Go on Jim kick em' while they are down!

Made a fatal error yesterday at Ascot, I went through all the races and came up with a 1st choice and a 2nd string. I then decided to put my first choices in the pisspot and all my 2nd strings in an amazing multiple. Unfortunately most of my winners were from the 1st choices which were in the pisspot - Doh!

I did however start backing them as singles from Hibaayeb in the 3.05, so I still managed to pull four winners out of six races, which is amazing at a big meeting.

Had I stuck to putting my 1st choices in the multiple, including Right of Passage, the 4-timer alone would have returned 4031/1 - arrrrggghhhhh!!!

Rite of Passage was my big pull of the day, which won @ 20's, I had been raving to my mate about this horse all morning and couldn't understand why no one else liked it. It was one of only a few in the race that had done anything like the 2m4f distance, and had done so in it's previous two races off a weight of 11-12 and 11-7. Yesterday, however it ran at 9-2, it seemed like a no brainer to me.

I played the 3k gtd at Ladjokes this morning and was chip leader with 36 left, only as usual to get crippled when I am massive fave. 6 handed, blinds 4k/8k they all fold to me on the sb with AQ suited. I make it 28k and the bb reraises allin for 100k, I have 150k back and call, he shows JQ off and the flop comes AK8; of course the T on the river is Gallon Tea'd - battled on for a bit but to no avail.

29 Tryst 4.25

12 Primo Lady 5.00

4 Pollenator 5.35
5 Marie De Medici 5.35

I think it's very competitive today and winners will be hard to come by, I do however, like Shavansky in the 4.25 as an e/w punt and @ 40's is great value.

GL punters...

I will be off out tonight to play the £20 rebuy at Napoleons at Owlerton in Sheffield, updates on twitter during the tournament and a write up on here tomorrow.

For your information the tips I was posting last year were from a tipping service that I was subscribing to. Unfortunately they had an awful year, which obviously means they are not getting my money again. The only reason I signed up was they were on a +100 pt streak when they sold it to me.

The tips I will be posting from now on will be mine from a new system I am trialing. I have been having some success with a lot of crossbar days on big L15's and I am quietly confident that it is only a matter of time before I stop hitting the woodwork.

Not much happening today as you would expect the day before a big festival. So save your money for Royal Ascot tomorrow, but if you are really desperate for a bet then here are todays:

3.15@Carlisle - Desert Hunter 3/1

This is really my only tip today and I'm going 4pt win, but just for interest you can include the following two tonight for a 45/1 treble:

7.20@Roscommon - Grey Soldier 6/4
9.05@Windsor - Shy 7/2

GL Punters!!!

A thousand apologies for what is nearly a year since my last post, what a lazy git I am. To be honest I have four kids now and the little one was only one last year, so something had to give and the blog suffered. I can't guarantee on daily posts but I will try my best. I have been tweeting and you can follow me on twitter @markcullumbine, for which I will pace a link on here as there is a link from there to here, if you know what I mean.

Anyhow it's Ascot starting tomorrow and how uncanny that was what my last post was about last year - spOOky!!!

I will be back later with todays tips if there are any.

Forgive me father for I have sinned it has been nearly 2 months since my last confession.

It's been an up and down Royal Ascot so far but following yesterdays successful wade in on Yeats (How easy did he make that look?) I am feeling very bullish about todays selection and I am wading in big time.

So here it is.....

3.45 Royal Ascot 9. Rainbow View - 4pt e/w

This is currently an 8/1 shot with laddies and you can no doubt get better elsewhere, fill your boots.

Don't forget you heard it here first - GL punters.

2009-04-27T05:11:00.000-07:00

One bet for you today in the 16.00 @ plumpton No.6 Spanchil Hill 4pt win. This is expected to drift from the 13/8 b4 the off so wait and take the sp.

Good Luck punters.

Another double lost by a nose yesterday, getting very close but no coconut. I played live at Napoleons Sheffield last night in the £10 NLH rebuy and yet again made the final table but went out 8th on the bb with 88 v AK - I never win a race!

On to todays bets and again I have 2 selections at Newmarket for you as follows:

15.15 (6) Your Old Pal - 2pt win
15.50 (1) Barynya - 2pt win

and yet again a 2pt double on the above and maybe today it 3rd time lucky - GL punters.

No totty for you today because I am limited for time as the pub is calling - TTFN.

13.50 (7) Militarist 2pt win

17.55 (11) Enact - 1pt e/w

Firstly I'd like to apologise for the lack of posts lately but i've been really busy at work.

To start with there's a little recap on the last 2 weeks live poker at DTD, which began last weds. with no luck and an early exit from the £25 NLH fo and led to a £2/£2 round of each cash table. This was disastrous and began with the Holdem round when after flopping top set on a 678 flop 99 rivered his 9 to take the £400 pot. The game was good tho with plenty of numpty's and plenty of cash on the table so I reloaded for another £200. Onto the Omaha round and after a debatable value call with Qc7cQh3h the flop comes QJ4 rainbow and after betting out for £35 I get 1 caller on my left. The turn is 5c which now gives me top set and a flush draw and with me 1st to act I push for my remaining £150 and get called after much deliberation by KTxx who rivers a bullet. £400 down in no time at all I decide its not my night, wave the white flag and drive off home with my tail between my legs.

Last night it's like Dejavu as I play 3 hands in the tournament and exit early yet again.

Hand 1) KK double up to 6k after pushing allin on the flop and the flush draw misses.
Hand 2) AK flat call in early and reraise allin pre called by QQ who hits a set on the flop
down to 4k
Hand 3) 88 on the bb push allin pre after 2 flat callers - lol called by A3 off who rivers the A.

Onto the £1/2 NL Holdem cash and after flat calling in early with AA someone raises to 12 another calls and I reraise to 35 and it goes call, allin for 10 more which we both call. The flop comes KQx and I move allin the other guy passes and the allin fish has KQ off of course. After hours of pissing about I leave at 1am £250 down for the night. Super!!!

It's a good job it's only money!!!

Onto today's horses and I have put on placepots at Hereford, Towcester, Southwell and Carlisle and if anyone's interested here they are:

I didn't publish yesterdays get on as I was quite ill but my nap of the day Wichita Lineman was the most exciting win of the day, McCoy is a Leg-end!!! My L15 also returned a nice profit with 2 winners 'Forpaddydeplasterer and Wichita Lineman' and a close 2nd for Celestial Halo.

It's a shame about Binocular and my heart felt sadness goes out to thegame, perhaps it's time to give up on the gambling and get on Paris Hilton's British Best Friend. Seriously though I do feel for you mate!!!

On to Cheltenham Day 2 and after a nice profit yesterday I have gone mental today, so here it is:

My two e/w L15's

13.30 Parsons pistol
14.05 Mikael Dhaguenet
14.40 Gone to Lunch
16.00 The Polomoche

16.40 Silk Affair
17.15 Dunguib
15.35 Head to Kerry @ Hunt.

I have also had a big e/w single on Cooldine and a smaller one Parsons Pistol and have followed the placepot perm in the post for £18.

There is supposed to be a line tip today and if I can get it I will post it here later.

For a bit of light relief it's a welcome return of the childhood female fantasy section and for your monkey spanking pleasure today we have the one and only Daisy Duke...enjoy...
