Tonights winnings

Just finished playing a game over at PartyPoker and for once i came out with alot more than i entered with! I was reading that you should be folding before the flop on average about 80% of the time. When putting this into practice it does pay dividends. Also the fact tha you are using play money allows you to be a little more adventurous too - hoping that the card you need will be drawn whilst others around you are raising higher and higher. Basically - unless there was a high card - ten, king, queen, jack or ace in my dealt cards then i was folding. Often waiting to play the better hands is the best idea. Then again, that rule does not always apply. Here is the transcript of one of my best winning hands from tonight: ***** Hand History for Game 51634385980 ***** 2000 PL Hold'em - Wednesday, May 11, 17:59:24 EDT 2005 Table Play money 3992426 Seat 1 is the button Total number of players : 10 Seat 3: TEXASALLIN2 ( $4581 ) Seat 4: twinpekes ( $8073 ) Seat 9: brakable ( $2000 ) Seat 1: Taoski ( $7064 ) Seat 2: BigBenxx7 ( $9371.5 ) Seat 6: blizzy111 ( $0 ) Seat 5: ahockeydad ( $409 ) Seat 7: Kyamax ( $1844.5 ) Seat 10: dejracer ( $10167.5 ) Seat 8: tripleshot12 ( $0 ) BigBenxx7 posts small blind [5].

TEXASALLIN2 shows [ 5c, 6d ] a straight, six to ten. brakable shows [ Ks, 6c ] a straight, six to ten. Taoski shows [ As, Js ] a straight, seven to jack. Taoski wins 4940 play chips from side pot #1 with a straight, seven to jack. Taoski wins 6212 play chips from the main pot with a straight, seven to jack. A cool 11152 play chips won! Excellent. And that was not the best hand either! I won nearer 15k on another hand. Its all good fun - and free! w00t!

Pokers popularity seems to have surged recently, probably down to the success of online Poker and the plethora of Poker on TV.
I've been watching the pro celebrity UK tournament on Bravo, last night Darren Cambell lost out to the pro's, tonight it's the turn of Jimmy White.

I taped some US poker program the other night. Not yet watched it though. Good to pick up a few hints and tips.

Watched some "Texas Hold them jugs" on Discovery tonight. An ex English Female teacher was giving the boys a good old paddling.Her poker wasn't bad, either.
