Been awhile since my last post and that’s because –
A. I don’t have the internet
B. I’m still getting settled in here at ballarat
C. I’ve been lazy
But I have been playing APL down here and poker down in ballarat isn’t as big as Melbourne.
But ballarat is a small town and we do average around 3-4 tables a night which isn’t soo bad.You get some good players deep in the game its just the start you get the Donkeys but hey you get that in pub poker.
I have been playing at the Ballarat Golf Club the last few weeks and on the 20th of December 2010 I caught myself a win. Start of the tournament I was a yoyo (up & down) until I was busted with this sick hand witch played out was: I raised from early position to 800 when the blinds where 50/100 with KsJc to be called by a player middle position. Flop came AdKcJs without a doubt I was to shove all in and happy to take it down. He starts thinking for quite a while I thought at this stage with these pub poker players he had Ace rag. He then said that I probably have him beat and started naming all these hands that I could have. Ended up he names all the hands that had him beat which where heaps. Typical pub poker player says his line. “You have me beat but I’ll call to “chip you up” “he rolls over Kh9h. And you guessed it he hit his straight a 10 was the next card. Pissed me off when the guy said to me he had so many outs I tried to explain to him he only had 4 but he seemed to think he had more than that lol. Long story short I won it and received some APL points and a nice card guard. And the following Monday night I came second and missed out on winning back to back at the Golf Club but it was a good night and I will continue to play there . It’s a really nice venue to play at I recommend it if anyone is in town.. I'd also like to thank my good mate Mick and my wife Emma for comming down with me for fun and support..
I shall try and keep you all posted on my progress down here and hope you all have an AWESOME 2011!!
