Motörhead, the Premier League and the Bad Beat Jackpot

I had my best friend from Germany being over for a week holiday which meant I didn't play a lot of Poker. Last Friday we went to see Motörhead in the Carling Academy in Newcastle and I was very suprised. Motörhead was absolutely brilliant and especially the crowd commited a lot to a superb concert. I had seen Motörhead live in Germany before and it was a big disappointment as sound quality was very bad and the crowd was absolutely lame and full of retired people/pensioners. The only good thing about the concert in Germany was the support band Mondo Generator which is one of my favourite bands. As mentioned the English crowd enjoyed Motörhead so much more and the sound quality was brilliant as well as the show was. It even included a littel acoustic session with Mr Lemmy Kilmister playing the harmonica to some acoustic guitar sound by Mickey D. Fantastic. The support band was Saxon and to be honest they were boring. Typical boring, slow, uninspired heavy metal. Saxon sucks big time.
The day after we went to the Stadium of Light to see Sunderland vs. Portsmouth which was the first live Premier League match I have seen so far. We had good seats and the match was ok as well but we were a little disappointed by the lack typical fan activities. No real loud singing, no drums, nothing special. Just 40.000 people sitting and watching a match and clapping their hands when something happened. I try St. James Park next time and see if that's any better. Anyway we went on to go down Durham and getting nicely hammered. There was a brilliant Punk cover band playing in this Shamrox pub which was awesome. By midnight my friend was so pissed that they wouldn't let him into Lloyd's bar so we decided to go home. He was so pissed that he fell over in my bathroom and obviously raped my toilet with his inner liquids. When I checked if he was still alive I found him lying next to the toilet covered with the duvet and holding the toilet brush in his hand just like a king his sceptre. Absolutely hilarious. I love this bloke. Already looking forward to Germany for two weeks at christmas and getting hammered 14.5 out of 16 days. Weehaa, let the games begin!

Pokerwise nothing special happend. I played 500 hands in November for a tiny profit. A sick hand occured in my Tuesday Poker tourney. Player 1 raises from BTN. SB calls. All others fold. Flop 10c, 8s, 3s a little bit of betting follows. Turn is 10s, players get all of their chips in the middle. Player one shows 10h, 10d for a turned quadzilla and Player two shows Js9s for the turned flush with straight flush draw. The river is obviously the Qs to destroy Quadzilla and set the pub in a general "Oh my fucking god" expression. As tournamnt organiser I obviously had to honor this horrendous beat somehow and bought player one a pint of fine lager. lol. On Party Poker a hand like this is worth about $50.000

Right that's it for now. I hope to get some more hands in tonight as my girlfriend's regular sunday bath is coming up soon which gives me a quiet two hours of poker.

Laters,
