Got some bad news folks.

I was kinda sick whole weekend but couldn't figure out what it was. On Monday evening my appendix ruptured and I was just able to call an ambulance in time. Surgery went well albeit a bit messy the doctors said. Should be in hospital for couple of days and we will see what goes on from here

Ouch, that happened to a mate of mine and he was in agony, get well soon Margie.

You know the appendix controls your ability to comfortably 3 bet. And you went and broke it!:cool:

Take care. Cut open surgery will take more time to heal than you think. Go slow during recovery time.

We live very different lives.

Well hand is not very interesting.

This is the only hand that got double straddled and I am on the button. We are effectively 9k deep.

CO opens to 175, I am on the button and 3 bet to 425 with AK55ds. Everyone foods so 940 in pot.

Flop comes KT8 2 hearts and we have K5 of hearts. CO checks and we bet 550 and he calls so 2,040 in the pot

Turn is the 2 of hearts and he donks for 1,350. I call so 4,740 in the pot.

River is Qh and he bets 4,500. We snap for the 13,740 pot. He had the Ah blocker and I don't have many flushes in my range So his bluff makes sense but not much when you donk turn as opposed to check raising

Went to Vic tonight and posted another £6k win.

1 interesting spot.

I have AKT9ds and raise to 75 preflop.

Flop is 678 1 club. i bet 150 get 2 callers.

turn is 5c I bet 500 and get 2 callers

river is 3 of clubs and i get donked into for 1,300. I dont have clubs but I decide to call and he was bluffing :).

Did a little review of my profits for the last couple of months and since the start of August I am up £55K so thats pretty good.

feel like my posts are unbelievable because I've practically won every session ive played for last 3 months.

Won another 10k last night, no interesting spots, played 3 pots in range of 7 to 10k but all pretty standard spots from my end.
