The Virgin Poker Festival in Nottingham has kicked off, unfortunatly the UK Shark is already the short stack on his table!
I raised 3XBB pre-flop with A-Jo, a flop of 9h4h9s saw me place a continuation bet which was called. I hit an ace of spades on the turn to give me a hand to play with so I followed through with another bet of around half the pot and was called. River was a rag card spade and having put my opponent on a flush draw for hearts I bet out was called and of course lost the hand.
Still I’ve outlasted great pro’s such as Marie Demitrio and Lucy Roche and still have a good chance of doubling up an staying in contention so fingers crossed!
Regardless Dusk Till Dawn has proved to be a great venue and alongside Virgin Poker they’re putting on one of the best poker events that I’ve ever attended so even if I leave with no money in my pocket I’m pretty sure I’ll have had a great time. Any poker player that likes a bit of fun with their game should maker every effort to qualify for future Virgin Poker Festival events!
More updates to come!!!
