£2 Tournaments at Littlewoods
Littlewoods run £2 tournaments every night.
Played in a £2 tournament at Littlewoods UK Poker tonight. 175 players played. Things were going well and I called a blinder on a fairly large pot with pocket Aces. Things went a bit stale after that with me playing hardly any hands due to the cards I was getting. All I played for half an hour was where I was posting the blinds.
Anyway went out in 52nd place after I went all in after the flop with trip 10s followed by an Q. The winning hand was also trip 10s but he had an Ace kicker so I was outa there.

I really do need to get the hang of this blogging lark. Everyone else seems to have far nicer looking pages than me. I must find out how to display other stuff on the right. Not today though.

Ritz Poker
Poker
Finally got a quick game at the Ritz.
Nice tables, very well designed and easy to get going - Just what I was looking for. I can actually see the Ritz becoming my favourite poker rooms! You can play in £, $ or Euros, whatever takes your preference.
Played in a £2/£4 game and started out with £50. A bit more than normal but what the hell, it's the Festive Season! Anyway, played in a decent game for an hour and was getting tired so finished off with £50! Nothing won, nothing lost, but I had a great time playing and the players I were up against were pretty decent so I enjoyed myself.

Littlewoods Poker - Freeroll Tournament
Littlewoodspoker.com - Trusted online poker games
Played my first game of poker in a week or two today and decided on a Freeroll at Littlewoods.
Great things freeroll tournaments, they let you play for absolutely no money.
300 people sat down and I was put out in position 39 after a rather stupid play. I wasn't guaranteed a winning hand but still went all in on a pair of 10s in the pocket. The winner pulled a Jack against his Jack in his pocket on the river. Sods luck - still didn't cost me anything!

Ritz Poker
I still haven't managed a game on the Ritz Poker tables but I'm intending to very shortly...watch this space. Hopefully things will be better soon and I'll have more time to play.
Piggs Peak Poker
Been a while since I've had a game again. Due to a few personal life problems, I've not had the time. However, I had a whole $9 in my Piggs Peak Poker (Poker333) account and thought I may as well blow it all.
Started playing $1/$2 Texas Hold Em and although the game was nothing to write home about I finished up with $33 in my account so was fairly happy and I'll be able to have another game with whats there.
Went on to play in a $0.75 + 0.25c Sit and Go Game with 9 other players. The stakes were very low and I've never played at such a small value table before but reckoned it would be something different. Again, nothing terribly exciting to report but I did win and thats gained me a whole $3.75 in prize money. I haven't ordered the Ferarri yet but a few games like this and I'll be able to afford a Matchbox one.
Onwards and upwards.
