So as jesus did at easter lildavefish is back from the dead!

Seems that over the last 3 weeks i have completely lost my head! drinking far too much and ridic too much time on my own in casinos has led to me going mental!

after a week off i can confirm (lol) that lildavefish is back in business !

tuns out im an online poker degen! but unfortunatley january’s disaster and the lack of playing has meant tht lildavefish is SKINT, i had decent rooll on there but needed £££ for som eIRL things  so lost focus rele but now i am back and as determined as EVER!

played 6,400 hands of 6max NL betwen .10/.25 and .50/1 this week playing 12-15 tables and its been going well! not used to playing so many tables for a long time but soon back into the swing of it! 6max NL at these stakes is SO SOFT it is ridiculous and there is still decent-ish money to be made mass tabling 25nl.

so the plan is to keep a mixture of 6max PLO/NLHE whilst really really work on my HU games (both nl  and  plo) i feel like i have a very strong hu game, but definatley some exploitables which il be lloking to iron out – another thing iv started to do a ton of is pay these HU shootout MTTs. just thr $5-$50 ones as they are very very easy as ur not even playing for half the time so dont need to concentrate hardly at all – plus the valeu is excellent, e.g the 9.30 nl hu one gets anout $2k ftw off a $26 investment v much worth playing

so plan for this week involves a ton of 6max NL  a hefty HUplo volume and throw in some NL hu aswell. also play a decent amoutn of HU Sng’s and Hu MTTs to really really sharpen my HU game further.

In TOURNAMENT NEWS i actually have something to report, on monday i made a fin..ninal….finnal..FINAL! yes final table of one of those tilting $26 ntts on ftp (terrific value those tourneys btw) where i wenton to the ft 4/9 before QQ into AA v early then lost a flip gg me out in 8th for $681 with $7k ftw very veyr sigh….but still a very please $650 boost to ny re-building fund! ty to Ash, simon and Jamies for thier help during tht tourney btw – as liltournamentfish chumped his way to the final…also came 2nd in a HU shootout for oer $500 aswel on the same day was DEVd not to win tht cos the last guy was the worst of the lot!

NOW. lets breifly recoutn SUNDAY. SUNDAY was quite a day, as u may or may not know the online poker world was buzzing on sunday for the nets biggest and greatest tournament…the sunday…FOUR MILLION! ! ! ye pstars gtd this weeks million at $4,000,000 and promised a $1m+ top prize! this combined with the FTOPS main event, the 6max NLHE KO mtt (mwah) and the FTOPS id been so looking forward to for so long – THE HU PLO FTOPS ! ! ! had a semi deep run in the 6max till QQ met KK  and cudnt sedice the cowboys – gg me! Managed to get itm in the PLO ftops HU. for obv reasons as a reg playng HU plo on ftp i reaally wanted to win this as the field was full of fellowregs and wud be fantastic for the ego!  as it happened i put a really gd performance in and unfortuanly ran into a pretty tricky spot that i think in relection i think may have made a mistake…will put some hands up fro the tourney cos they are some cool ones!

thts all from me sry if the spelling is tez here i havtn slept for about 40 hours! and still a bit hungover…

gl all

so felt like a bit of a douche following my foul mouthed rant on saturday night. Felt the need to explain

If any of you read/post on the 2+2 forums ul see me about a fair bit in the small/mid stakes PLO forum. About 4 days a poster called CZI posted a pretty rude reposte to one of my posts and i was a little offended so replied but in genuinly well mannered way – then unfortunatly his reply to this was very obnoxious and even more unfortunatley i was VERY drunk and VERY annoyed when i read it – and he was online at the time….

What resulted was a really unpleasant war of words between us on 2+2 which has subsequently found the thread removed of the forums and me banned for 2 weeks … then rage spilled over into my blog siorry to force you guys into reading that arrogant self obbsessive drival !

Anyway not really proud of any of that behaviour as generally i am extremely well mannered in all poker endevour but a few life pressures got to me there.

So plan is now to take a decent break – this year hasn’t gone outstanding, iv run terribly and havnt even played great for the whole yr either BUT iv had a ton of outside poker things going on and that has really afffected me, so im taking a reasaonble hietus untill iv resolved these things. What im gonna do IDK and unfortunatley due to some unfortunate personal stuff  im not quite as healthy in the £££ departtment as id like – maybe il even get a real job for a bit and go travelling i really dont know – i doubt il be going to las vegas for the summer now after all this and you certainly wont see lildavefish on FTPs felt for a while, with the exception of possibly this sunday for the PLO HU FTOPS which il be playing as an enthusiastic ametaeur.

The last 6 months have been a lot of fun and its a shame that real life hasnt gone as well as poker has, and major kudos to Jamie and Ash for all their hard work and achievements. Also the support i had from them over last yr has been incredible and I am really proud of how well they have done/are doing…same applies to a lot of poker friends of mine actually who have offered a lot of support – Chrispoker23/Rob/Will/Franky/Middy wudnt have made half the £ without their help. TY GUYS

Ty for all the support and see you when i see you.

GG lildavefish

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

only joking busted first level 724th

sigh

Morning all.

SO a very angry very drunken blog last night. SORRY lol

but meh. todays plan is win the $500 HUftops, min cash the $300 ftops and bink a seat to the EPT snowfest.

Will let you know how that goes presently…

Hey everybody

once again apologies for my slack updating of this blog, but been busy all month.

First thing to do is congratulate a friend of ours Jake Cody on a STUNNING ept daueville win for 847,00EUR (£749k/$1.19m) not only is this a siiick result but his performance on the final table was epic and will defo be ranked as one of the best final performances we’ve seen in a mojor tourney for a long time. WP cody you rich lil fker!

Not the only greta piece of news for the weekend either as Jamie managed 3rd in GUKPT bolton for £19k – again another rele gd final table performance in a BRUTAL seat draw jamie sykes of early 2009 wud have bustoed 8th lol but this jamie sykes is gonna win a lot on money this yr IMHO – EPT COPENHAGEN1time?

makes me kinda pround seeing my mates doing so well when you think back to the two lil geeky kids playing at the nutz a yr or two back are now competing with the best players and winning – just goes to show all it takes is HARD WORK and a BIT OF GAMBOOOLE

January been a pretty tough month for me, started out exceptionally…..but then we met the wrong side of varience and had a pretty nasty downswing which has stretched to about $8.5k now…..here is the graph, remembering the think green line is ALLinEV and the thick green line is $$$won….sigh

http://s933.photobucket.com/albums/ad171/lildavefish/?action=view&current=graphjanuary.jpg&newest=1

so we registered a loosing month on FTP by for $4029.

Luckily not all terrible as I managed +$1031 on cake and +£2k playing live at gala cash game and got about $1.4k rakeback for the month so could have been worse.

Played a great session at gala last night. Got to 6handed and I had a great seat so was really really in my element with all the stacks deep.

Deepstacked stuff is so cool had some rele fun hands.

This is a cool hand i have AQo. http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/1365836

Its semi-tricky because my hand obviously plays terribly multi-way, spesh OOP. also its very hard for me to get the £££ in with tons of equity (i.e no1 shoves back AJ etc) I had seen the nit limp QQ behind a 3bet once before and the tilting shortstack could have anything rele as he was chasing pretty hard. Also Chris is so deep with me that obviously i cant get it in VS him and he doesnt really 3bet THAT much either so I have to give him credit for a strong hand.

Peeling the raise despite the fact im getting nearly 4-1 sucks imo because my hand plays terrible and im looking relaly to flop an A/Q and then it coudl still get messy vs Chris. However the desicion is made easier for me when the spewy player to my left callls out of turn and his call is forced to stay in the pot, now there is £140ish in the pot and I now know that spewy one wont shove. I can happilly call of the all-in from the shortstack and the nit is so likely to fold. so really it boils down to what range of hands CHRIS a) HAS, and b) will5bet shove/peel with. getting peeled in this spot is horribel so i have to price out any marginal calls. I think this deep chris’ calling/5bet shoving range is exclusivly thin, say QQ+ and possibly AKs in fact probs defo AKs vs me cos he knows I can 4bet for value with stuff like QQ/JJ. anyway they all fold, but turning ur hand into a 4bet bluff essentially is a highly +EV play here because of how far ahead of shortstackers range I am + all the dead money in the pot. obv I fold to shoves from Chris and NIT and if the spewy guy shoves which would be mega leveling since he called out of turn then i probs just sigh call it off.

He is another cool hand

http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/1365852

Vs a very competant opponent this move would probably not work because I polorise my hand completly on the end to BLUFF or 9x. someone smart would proabbly figure out its a bluff more often than a 9x because not too many 9x’s in my range 3barrel 3 streets – altho vs beter play a better line is to c/back flop then pot or raise the turn. Anyway i had his range here exclusivley as Jx and he is a calling station so overbet was the best way off this hand. I was satisifed this was a profitable move because I dont think he has a9 ever here and he call off 1/2 pair so infrequently. OBV i reveak the bvluff fo future levelling lol….]=and i didnt have to wait long!

I had AQ he had A3……..wiiiiii

Most hands online lately have been pretty brutal and un-interesting so will do some hand analysis of some interesting ones when and if they ever come up!

On IRL news finnally sold my % in one of those fish and chips shops got gd price so hopefully have that money soon b4 i go skint again!

My oil 1p shares are flying up and down and making me fuck all money CMON oil 1TIME!!!!!!!!! Been out for a ton of great meals lately and enjoyed a nice run in the dinner flips only loosing 1/5 and a pretty tame £77 one when i lost it! went for thai for the first time with rob the other day and it was really really nice, cant remember the name of the place but will try! Rob claimed in the last dinnner flip that he thinks “seasoned gamblers” have a minor EV edge in a coin flip on just gut insticnt (???) so he claimed that by having the coin waiting on the thumb to flip, then after iv called reversing it neatrilises this edge and tips it slightly in the flippers favour…this was immeadiatly proved as i called for tails and afgter reversal it lands heads. Now whether this is true or not he has created some pre=flip levelling wars where he might try to level me into backing against my instinct in a flip and not reversing the coin – or i might expect him to and go with instinct anyway, but then he might expect me to that and till reverse it….or maybe its just a fkin cionflip but hey its all fun!

On this subject going out for a nice meal now with an old friend so wish you all GL and gonna try coe to the club with Jamie 2mro for the £10triple!

GLGL eveyone TAKE care
