The International Regulars

MONDAY 28TH JULY


Entered the cash game and got bluffed off bottom trips and a broadway straight when the board paired on the turn on the very first hand and TheAdmiral told me to put it in my blogg so there it is i folded a 6 card PLO hand with a possible full house on the board with just a broadway straight and trips.
All the players are asking to get a mention in the blogg so here is a run down of them.
Not all played on the Monday but most play atleast once a week or fortnight.

TheAdmiral AKA Les Clarke

Solid cash game player the most aggressive player in the game he makes it 1/2/7 preflop most hands with a wide range of holdings and very rarely folds preflop

SuperJez AKA Martin

Online pro who boosts his bankroll by regularly turning a profit in the nash's cash game. Currently loved up (hope for us all) and back in his native Glasgow for a few weeks.

TheRock AKA Tommy

frequently folds preflop infact he will fold more often preflop during the night than the rest of the players put together,if he is in the pot be scared be very scared.


The Clam AKA Davie

Davie has a reputation in the comps he will blind out rather than put his chips in behind if he gets chips you need the jaws of life to get them off him again just dont give him chips as he will be involved when the money is paid out if he has them. But in the cash game he is looser than a goose thans just been stuffed for christmas not long ago he got £150 the middle ALL IN, with 1 card to come in with the nut flush draw and no low in a PLO game with a 235 showing in a game of 7 card PLO8 he hit his flush on the river to chop £10 in the middle. Still to work out that though bottom set in HE is a monster in these games its not.


The Bookie AKA George

Passive aggressive is our george you never know which way he is playing from 1 card to the next, suddenly you get reraised from him for another couple of hundred and you know he has atleast ne lot of nuts.

The Pro AKA Euan

When you win a pot vrs him you will be told how lucky you were, and when you lose a pot to him you will be told how badly you played it and how he outplayed you and had a great read on you.

The Engima AKA Steve

Before i joined the cash games i was told he was a rock, He has an intresting game but i wouldnt call him a rock will make alot of moves with 1 side of a 2 board game or 1 side of a HI/LO game will play his draws aggressively often replaying the hand in your head you can work out where you are but often its behind, has a very selective preflop starting range and can fold nealy as often as Tommy preflop but will play alot more than Tommy on a flop. I like Steves game alot and often ask for his opinion on hands that i fold or play.

The Gambler AKA Mr LI

Very dangerous player as he wont let you steal a pot, will play the same way with bottom 2 pair as he does with the nuts, often makes bad calls but means you cant get a steal in with the bare ACE on a flushed board. Mr Li is a player you dread to have on your table in the comp as he is impossible to read and you never know where you are. Fun part of the night is when Mr Li comes in with a list of insults he has read people calling him and other people on hills and stars so we can translate them for him.

The Learner AKA Tosh

Been playing the cash game longer than me but is taking his time in learning properly, has a very solid tourny Holdem game but often looses in the cash with bad calls with 2nd nuts.




These are my honest opinions of the players i may be wrong but know the players know my reads of them they can change there games to make it more profitable for them when there in a hand against me.
