I've just been on the Bidibot site which is something to do with John Tabatabai, the second greatest poker player from Wales after yours truly and it's all going horribly wrong for two guys. There's an $150 Betfair credit and two people, or more to the point, two bots have now bid over $500 on it. Yep, that's right, two bots have made bids of $250 each on an $150 credit. Bots, who would have them? I've had one winning bid and I'll let you know if I have any problems.
My Daughter was 12 today which means twelve years ago I was the drunkest man in Cardiff. Somethings never change. Seeing as I'm plugging Bidibot I might as well plug the best restaurant in Cardiff . There's actually a chain of them so there might be one near you. Pay them a visit, the food is superb.
Here's my favourite gamblers site . His footie tips are great and his basketball ones are better.
All the best folks and thanks for dropping by.

Sigh
Running bad
Fast forward to 19.30 and you'll see how good I'm running at the moment. The guy who goes all in has a $50 bounty on his head and for some reason my Avatar keeps on defaulting to a fucking chicken.
Started looking for a new job on Tuesday and got offered two on Friday. Took one which is a four week contract but as my old company are still paying me I'm on double money for a month.

Just fooking typical
Now I've got loads of free time I've decided to play loads of Poker and guess what, worst fooking run of my life. I must have had a 100 pocket pairs which haven't hit a set but all my opponents are hitting sets with alarming regularity. I've also bust out of more tourneys in the last two days with the best hand at the time of getting it all in, than I have over the course of the last year. Just fooking typical.
Spun £40 up to £720 over the weekend on a series of bets and put it all on Inter Milan on Sunday night. Rafa Benitez must be the worst manager in the history of the game. Just fooking typical.
Both my neighbours are relatively new and guess what, they've both got builders working on their houses whilst I'm at home all day trying to watch TV and play poker. Just fooking typical.
I've had to go into the City Centre a few times so I've been going on the bus. I fooking hate all this terrorist business. Years ago you could look at an unattended bag and think, I'm having that. Not now. Just fooking typical.
Anyway, I'm a bit worried about my Daughter. My Missus and I think she might be dyslexic. She asked if I could take her for a McDonalds today so I said I would if she could spell it. She said "fuck it I'll have a CKF instead".

Dublin
Just come back from a mad weekend in Dublin with a few RTR fishes where we drank copious amounts of Guinness and played a bit of poker.
The main reason for going was the Boyles sports IPO which is Europes largest poker event. 1200 plus people turned up to play over the Friday and Saturday with the final running on Sunday along with the Irish Poker awards.
I turned up on the Friday and after a few pints in the pub across the road from my hotel, wandered up to the Regency for the two O'clock start. Unfortunately, it started at twelve and I was being blinded away. When I took my seat I looked at my first hand which was KK. It gets folded arounded to me and before I can say anything the Italian guy to my left says raise. The dealer informs him I'm to play so I raise which means he now has to. The guy two seats further around goes all in and I call. The Italians mucks his cards and I turn over my KK to his AA. A King on the turn and I fluke a double up and some. I then played through until ten or eleven in the evening when the blinds finally caught up with me. I ended up with 16k with the blinds 800/1600 and look down at pocket snowmen. A guy goes all in who I have covered so I snap call. He flips AK and the flop comes QQ2, J, J. Counterfeited by the fooking Ace. I bomb out next hand.
Amatay, Jak and Greekstein had all pitched up so we had a few beers, although Greeky who doesn't drink, played cards like the degen he is til redic o'clock.
On Saturday all the rest of the RTR fish were playing. Snake who I was bunking with pitched up early doors and we made our way up to the Regency around midday with Jak. No cash and his babysitter, a lovely degenerate called Paul, were already in the bar. Cogs, who wasn't registered to play, turned up next. Greeky ambled along with his man bag draped over his shoulder and casually mentioned how he had spunked £2k away the previous evening. Amatay dragged himself out of his wanking chariot about Six in the evening.
After all the guys had found their tables Cogs and I settled down at the bar for the duration. 52 minutes later we were joined by Snakey. And so it carried on until we were all sat around a table having more Guinness.
Several side events were taking place alongside loads of cash tables and slowly but surely all the degenerates soon whittled away. I stuck to my guns and continued trying to drink my own body weight. At some point we headed into Dublin City centre allthough I was totally gone at that point. I didn't last too long and was soon on my way home. No cash managed to convince a couple of girls that he and Snake were millionaire poker players. I think No cash was passing himself off as Tom Dwan and Snakey was Doyle Brunson. This may be a photo of No cash hooking the bird that Snakey eventually got to grips with later on, alledgedly.
Anyhow, after telling all and sundry that I wasn't drinking on the Sunday, I found myself at the bar about middayish and the fun and games continued. The boys played in a few other side events and Cogs, Paul and Jak all cashed in a 100 Euro head hunter. I found myself sat at the bar with Padraig Parkinson who is an absolute legend in Irish Poker circles. A few other guys pitched up including Neil Channing who was a top guy. He hosted the Irish Poker awards which Padraig won best blog for. He walked up to the stage and calmly told everyone that "I feel such a fraud as Jesse May writes my blog".
On winning Irish Poker personality of the year award Padraig then got up on stage and asked, "who the fuck votes for these things? I'd like to thank Jesse for creating me such a great personality".
What a top bloke.
We ended up drinking until the early hours with Amatay and Paul giving me a Poker lesson.
All in all it was a fantastic weekend with loads of Guinness and great company. Can't wait for next year.
Unfortunately I went to work on Tuesday and found out I had been made redundant. Fuck my luck.

Lost my blogging mojo
Haven't really felt like blogging much this last month, not sure why. Wouldn't have today if it wasn't for the fact BBC2 are showing the most pointless programme in the history of mankind tonight. Here's a link in case you're not sure which programme it is but I can definately tell you the answer is, fuck no.
Later.
Later.

Been a while
Been back from holidays for what seems a lietime now and still haven't written about it. A few other things have happened since and I should write a post about those as well. Maybe next time.
I'm nice and tanned after my Hols so I decided to go to the local pool to show off the tan. I was asked to leave by this lifeguard due to the large bulge in my Speedos upsetting some of the other swimmers. I pointed out another guy in similar trunks and asked why he wasn't being asked to leave. "Because he hasn't shit himself" he replied.
On to other business.
Cardiff City are on a roll. They beat a Portsmouth team which, whilst struggling this season, was still full of Premiership players. They've made the biggest signing of the season by bagging Craig Bellamy and are now the team to beat. They've also signed two players in the close season equally as important as Bellers. Olinfanjana on loan from Hull and Drinkwater loaned from Man Utd have been bossing the midfield. People I know have said that Drinwater could eventually take over from Scholes at Man Utd. Oli wasn't due to play today but after loaning Gerrard to Hull both teams have agreed that both players can play. Better news for Cardiff than Hull. You can back Cardiff at 1.64 which I have for £100. Nothings guaranteed but I like this bet. I've also had a little dabble on Cardiff, QPR, Scunthorpe, Peterborough, Sheffield Wed, Torquay and Rotherham, £7 to win £580 and a lay accumulator on Colchester, Hartlepool, Rochdale, Gillingham, Hereford, Lincoln, Morecambe and Northampton.
May have another bet later and if I do I'll post on here. Good luck if you bet on anything today.
Later.
Cardiff didn't start with Bellamy, Chopra, Boothroyd and Drinkwater but Oli netted the first and then his replacement, Rae, scored the winner. Great result with those big guns mssing. Tonight I've had a treble on Barca, Arsenal and Man Utd, short odds but returns 1.71.

Footie
First bet of the year tonight, £50 on Atletico Madrid at 1.52. Posting a bit late as they are now 2-0 up. Sorry.
Will write a post up about the Hols soon. Had a cracking time, chilled out and ate and drank far too much. Lovely place and well worth a visit.
