Got this sent last week by Cadmunkey, obviously American byt the sense of humour and comparison to foods but genius all the same!
1000 hands and I run gooot! December 5, 2006

I have now logged over 1k hands on Bowmans (Tribecca Tables Network) and have more than doubled my initial deposit of $100. Yes, I have hit a fortunate run of cards but nothing out of the ordinary for such a small sample size but the players here are awful to say the least. They’ll call your preflop raise and then usually fold to your c-bet and even the ones who call your c-bet will fold if you fire again on the turn. If you make a strong hand, say a set, then hold on tight as the lunatics will call you all the way to the river holding middle pair and you cannot fail to be paid off. My only worry is that when I change sites over to one where I get rakeback that I’ll still expect to be paid of handsomely on every hand I have!
I played 264 hands last night and ran at 26/12/2.5 and turned a $31.77 profit (30.09PTBB/100). This should have been a whole load more as I was up over $80 but donked off a huge part of my profit on two hands that I will post below shortly. I was talking to Cadmunkey on MSN whilst he was on UB and I think he was a little intrigued about the pots I was winning and he reloaded his Victor Chandler account (they share traffic) and sat on the waiting list for a NL20 game to come free. Low and behold the first table to become free was one I was sat at! He ended up being in my BB which was good as he’s TAG, the guy to his right was TAP so this should have created some blind stealing situations. I only really got involved in one hand with the Munkey and it cost me $23! Good job I had a big stack at the time, the twat 
Here are some hands below, as always comments on how fantastic I am or how shockingly bad I played are welcomed:
Girl on girl action - I think this hand is pretty standard across the board. Villain said he thought I should have folded to his push. He’s a retard obviously.
Right play, wrong result - No real reads on villain except he’s the one who reckons I should have folded my ladies in the hand above. He flat calls my raise preflop then open pushes a very heavily coordinated flop with 3 diamonds. I call having 2 over cards, the nut flush draw and a gutshot for the nut straight. He shows AcQd and I am a 75/25 favourite on this board until the King of diamonds completes my nut flush but gives bollock chops a straight flush. 
Overly aggressive - I decide to mix things up and raise preflop with 87s and get 2 callers. Flop gives me an OESFD and I opt to just call the villain’s small bet. 3 of us see the turn which is a 7, giving me middle pair no kicker but adds some outs. River completes my flush and this time villain checks. I bet out $5 into a pot of around $6.50 and he min check-raises me to $10. WTF am I meant to make of that with no reads? Looks to me like he may have JT or maybe TT and I decide to stick him all in. He insta-calls and shows me the nut flush. Should I be flat calling his check-raise here with no reads? Big loss number 1.
What are friends for - Here is big loss number 2! A calling station min raises preflop and I make it 3x his bet with JJ. Cadmunkey then pushes all-in for $23! WTF mate?! We were chatting on MSN at the time, but we never disclose hands when we play, and I was trying to work out what this bet meant. Against my typical Tribecca villain this is 99+, AJs+, especially as I’d been very active but this was Cadmukey and I know he wouldn’t risk all his chips without a monster. Still I called, he LOL’s at me in the MSN and flipped AA. I couldn’t suck out and doubled him up! He said after he didn’t think I’d call and that was his way of telling me he had AA in the hole. Oh well, at least I know he won’t just spunk those chips away like half the donkeys on here!
Despite those losses I still ended $31 the good. In fact it was more than that because I logged on again around midnight and played a few hands and the very last hand I played I flopped a set of Tens (Cad would be so proud) and got paid off by AA and took a $65 pot! SHIP IT! Didn’t have chance to redo my graph etc as it was late so this hand isn’t shown. So in around 1100 hands I have taken my initial $100 and turned it into $233, marvellous! I’ve also cleared 3100 of the 11k points needed to release a free $100 and Poker Source Online have just transferred the remaining $125 of my bonus to me on Party so all is good. I believe that Party have also given me a $25 bonus if I clear 250 raked hands which should take around an hour to do. So all in all things seem to be going pretty good, just don’t tell the Poker Gods (amen).
Bankroll stands at around $590 with $125 in pending bonuses. Shouldn’t be too long before I can take a shot at the NL50 tables!
Thanks for reading and good luck at those tables. Oh and if the Munkey pushes he’s got Rockets!
