Thoughts of Rup: December 2005
http://rupertpok.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 26, 2005. The last time I posted I was about to play a comp on GetMinted. I think I played pretty solidly, I came 2nd and took home 330 quid, next day I played it again and won it! It definately put me back on track and since then I did well in a pretty big Ladbrokes tournament for over $1k and having won a seat for $13 to the $500 30 on Stars, I came 22nd and took just shy of $2.5k. Cash at the WPT event in Bahamas. Start keeping records other than my bank statement! Sort out my money.

Friday, April 28, 2006. Posted by Rupert at 4/28/2006 12:27:00 pm. Saturday, April 08, 2006. London, Leeds, Life. The last ever North London derby at Highbury, it's gonna be special. I played really tight at Gutshot, just playing the pony cash game which the usual faces. It was all going well until I lost my stack of 80 with QQ vs AA. It was annoying, because I knew he had it as well. Very hard to fold those hands still for me. Should have trusted my instincts more. Anyway, good luck to everyone planning...

Sunday, October 30, 2005. Did my weekly trip to Gutshot on Friday for the 10 rebuys. The tournament was pretty boring, got to 3000 chips from the initial 500 by taking flops cheap and hitting lots. A couple of 50/50s lost set me back and I decided to go out just before the end of the rebuy period at damage of 20. I knew I was in big trouble, Jimmy who was last to act said he hoped one of us had Aces. I showed them, he showed 99, and the other guy showed 97. Posted by Rupert at 10/30/2005 03:22:00 pm.

Thoughts of Rup: June 2006

Thursday, June 08, 2006. For my sports betting I use a tipping service since I am too inept to make my own picks. I've put a couple of the ones I like down as well, most of the prices the tipping service offers is all taken so I don't think they will mind if I post the bets here. 12pts @ 3.75 - Sweden to win Group B World Cup. 6pts @ 2.625 - Holland to win Group C World Cup. 5pts @ 2.625 - Mexico to win Group D World Cup. 10pts @ 1.91 - Portugal to win Group D World Cup. That's it then, COME ON ENGLAND!

Monday, March 13, 2006. I've pretty much cleared the $120 bonus Stars gave for the WSOP qualifiers and I changed up 630 W$ (satellite money) into real money which I got $545 which is $45 better than the going rate. I probably could have got more if I posted around a bit but I wanted to buy into the big one on Sunday (which I played badly). Posted by Rupert at 3/13/2006 10:56:00 pm. London, United Kingdom.

Thursday, May 25, 2006. I have registered to play in the PokerStars World Blogger Championship of Online Poker. This Online Poker Tournament is a No Limit Texas Holdem. Event exclusive to Bloggers. Posted by Rupert at 5/25/2006 11:56:00 pm. Wednesday, May 24, 2006. Stayed on and played a bit of cash with no success before I fell asleep on a table at 7am. We headed off back home at 8am and got a very good 2 hours of sleep on the train. On the uni front I am fairly certain that I want to do Economics and I...

Thoughts of Rup: November 2005
http://rupertpok.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Been a while since I last posted so thought I better make one now. I can't remember exactly where I left off but i'll just ramble. Fortunately Noble owed me 1k at the time so I was only broke until they paid me, as well as the 100 in my wallet. The guy to my left has 66, mid pos has QQ, BB has TT, and amazingly my aces hold up and I become unstuck. I win another big pot later on but I can't remember the details. I went home with 350 in my wallet so it was a good night. M...

Tuesday, January 24, 2006. Over the last week and a half I have done my absolutes. Not gonna lie about it, i've lost pretty much all my Bahamas money in a combination of playing tournaments too big for me (playing $200 comps and pissing about in them) and having the worst weekend of sports betting i've ever had. I am dead jealous, it's the only satellite I have been an absolute mile away from qualifying for that I have tried. For some reason I can't focus in them. I wish him all the best in Franc...Well ...

Monday, July 24, 2006. That I am drunk and on tilt, so enter the $215 omaha hi/lo on his behalf. Soon enough (because i'm drunk and on tilt), he's. On final table and my 50% is looking very reasonable indeed since he. Has half the chips in play. SamENole proves to be a bit of a bastard heads up winning 6 out of 7 pre flop all ins (full scoops) but a gin river on the 7th one scooped the lot for us and the $11.5k first prize. Celebrate, probably, bed first though. Posted by Rupert at 7/24/2006 08:41:00 am.
