Playing with My Bestest Buddies is Great Fun

Well I wanna start by saying

KIA ORA!!!!!!!

I have been playing some real great small private buying games for the last couple of weeks with my Kiwi and Ozy mates. Cool bunch of guys and gals. I can even feel me kiwi accent starting to take a grip on me. These buyin games are attracting a field of about 16-20 players daily and they are tough games. The rivalry between the Aussies and the Kiwis is great and just so funny. The games are being broadcast live by Masala at PokerMatesNZ and also by Ozypoker and gimmecards over at Ozyradio. Its all going pretty well for the guys and its such great fun to play with these guys. Im loving it, when I don't have connection problems and logging in to the site problems.

Anyway today I played in the OzyRadio buyin with $15 bonus to the winner. I had a real bad start losing a 1\3 of my chips fisrt hand after being dealt AKc and ending up folding at the river (don,t ask it was ugly. I ended up folding the next christ knows how many hands and I was bottom of the pile for quite a time. I then managed to take down a nice hand with K8o in the BB. flop brought my K and I took it with pr of Kings after 2 callers all the way to the river. Took 1 out i think. Managed to climb the leader board and was sat in about 4-5th place for a while. My great mates ssgarmy, masalaNZ, nzealand were in the last 5 with me so it was a real PokerMatesNZ FT and what a great game. ssgarmy had been chip leader for a while during the game and poor old Masala had been getting nothing for so long it was sad to witness LOL...ssgarmy ended up getting busted out in 5th place so now it was just the 4 of us and with badboydan way out chip leader it kinda turned into a "lets all just go allin preflop everyhand and steal each others blinds"

We lost nzealand next GG hun and it was just me Masala and badboydan, Who had come back from the dead to be the way out chip leader. Masala was next to go out and it seemed dan couldnt put a foot wrong. HU now for me and shocked as hell i've made it this far. I was so shortstacked compared to dan and after going all in with my 1.6K stack V his 20k plus stack, I managed top double up to just over 3k and with the blinds at 1200\600 i was in deep doodoos so to speak. I get AKd so I am allin again and he calls again and this time his trash beat my AK and it was goodnight Novi



Hey Im not complaining 2nd was fantastic finish for me.

Follows my 1st place in DangerMouse420's poker.com forum game last night. I've either forgotten to reg for it or just not been online to play it so far so last i made sure I was regged nice and early for it. Only 13 in it, but what a tough field it was. All great players and fellow poker.com forum leaguers. I started of real slow and was again the bottom of the pile for most of the game. I was now in the top 5 and was still struggling to get a hand or even steal a pot or 2. I was then in last 4, somehow and I told DM that I thought I would now bubble.......


Sorry DM for making you the bubble boy......my bad.

I went on to win it out right after coming back from the dead.


SO thats been about it for me poker wise this weekend.

Also had my sons Birthday yesterday so just a quick Happy Birthday to you Chris and love you with all my heart.
