Rump Stakes

After a morning busking outside Gateways, I managed to squeeze another £5 from the cider fund, into my BlueSq acc. Not bothered with tourneys atm Iplayed $0.10/$0.20 for a while. In early position, fairly tight table with AQo so I limp. Folds to cutoff who makes it $1, folds to me, I call. Flop 6Q4 rainbow. I'm a sucker for slow playin so I check. He makes it $3, I call. Turn is a rag, I bet $3 not sure if he's made a set or not. He goes allin. Im pot committed and call and he flips over Q5o. River is a rag and I double up. Nice. Man I love these stakes.

This type of play goes on for a while and eventually I'm on $40. Thats 400% up. Not bad in my book. So I give it a break for a bit and do the $1000 freeroll. Blown out fairly quickly on an ace crack. My aces vs 76o who caught a str8. All the action points in the world aint gonna stop the allin preflop brigade. Wankers!
So its back to the cash. I decide to go back to the table I was on with my whole stack coz it was full of mugs. Now tho theres another dude who has stack same as me. And, on the very first hand hes raising to $3 utg. I'm thinking this is way too big a raise for AAs or Kings or even Queens. Wot is he hoping for here? I put him on 10s or JJs. I've got AKs anyway so I call. All round fold. Flop is A57 rainbow. He bets $3 again. I'm worried hes drawin a set and push allin. He calls str8 away and shows QQ. Turn Q. River 7. Ouch. Thats my whole stack cleaned out. Man I hate these stakes. lol

Just in case anyone does actually read this blog. Heres a little tekky tip. Theres a new spyware virus that can infect you're computer just by visiting a site, without clicking anything. Its particularly dangerous for poker players who use sites with inter acc. tranfers because it retrieves personal info like passwords or bankdetails, like most other programmes of this type. There is an easy solution to this. Just make sure you have changed the password in your router. These are normally set to default "password" which is how the virus gets in. Tiscali sagem customers should already have theres set to their loggin password so dont worry. But I know btopenworld and some others are not so checkit out.
