Diplomacy - Spring 1902

* Intro

* Spring 1901

* Fall 1901

Negotiations:
My main alliance is set, but there is still much to discuss with Germany. We make our plot against England. I tell him I will make an attempt at London and that he should get his fleet in Kiel out to the Heligoland Bight so he can reach the North Sea in the fall. I also try to convince Russia to take that newly formed unit in St. Petersburg and march right into Norway. I also check in with Italy and make sure our neutrality pact is upheld. England sends me a message saying "That fleet in the channel makes it impossible for us to cooperate". I don't bother to reply.

Orders:

ENGLAND
North Sea MOVE Irish Sea -> Square iri is not reachable
Liverpool HOLD -> resolved
Norway SUPPORT North Sea to hold -> Supported order does not correspond
London MOVE Denmark -> Square den is not reachable

FRANCE
English Channel CONVOY Belgium to London -> resolved
Brest MOVE Mid-Atlantic Ocean -> resolved
Paris MOVE Picardy -> resolved
Spain HOLD -> resolved
Belgium MOVE London -> Bounced

ITALY
Tunis MOVE Albania -> resolved
Ionian Sea CONVOY Tunis to Albania -> resolved
Trieste MOVE Serbia -> resolved
Venice HOLD -> resolved
Naples MOVE Tyrrhenian Sea -> resolved

GERMANY
Kiel MOVE Heligoland Bight -> resolved
Munich HOLD -> resolved
Ruhr MOVE Kiel -> resolved
Holland HOLD -> resolved
Denmark MOVE North Sea -> Bounced

AUSTRIA
Budapest SUPPORT Vienna to hold -> resolved
Vienna SUPPORT Budapest to Trieste -> Supported order does not correspond

TURKEY
Smyrna MOVE Eastern Mediterranean -> resolved
Greece MOVE Serbia -> Attack broken by a tri - ser
Aegean Sea CONVOY Constantinople to Greece -> resolved
Constantinople MOVE Greece -> Bounced

RUSSIA
Sevastopol MOVE Black Sea -> resolved
Galicia MOVE Bohemia -> resolved
Sweden SUPPORT London to Denmark -> Supported unit has failed
Rumania SUPPORT Trieste to Serbia -> resolved
Warsaw MOVE Galicia -> resolved
St. Petersburg HOLD -> resolved



Analysis:
England fucks up his orders, again. He had Russian support into Denmark, and had he correctly ordered the North Sea to convoy the unit, I would've been able to march right into his precious capital. Also, I would have been able to hold it in the fall easily since he had no way of gaining it back. Germany meanwhile would have retreated his unit in Demark to the Baltic Sea and would have had three units to take it back in the fall, his A in Kiel and F in Heligoland Bight in addition to the retreated unit. Even with Russian support, England would have been forced out in the fall. Not a well thought out plan, but I can understand his desperation.

Elsewhere, it appears Austria is on his way out, but it doesn't look good for Turkey either. Russia has made his way into the Black Sea, which makes way for an alliance between him and Italy to pound the Ottoman Empire into an oblivion. Will be interesting to see who winds up with Bulgaria in the fall.

Righting the Ship

Had another bad session yesterday. Actually I didn't play badly at all, I just took two horrible beats. I was taking a shot at NL $50 too. Lost to JJ twice. One hand I had 55 in a raised pot, I called from the BB, and flopped a set (9-6-5 flop I believe). Anyway, get it in with a half stack, he has JJ, river J. Great. Another hand I have KK and resolve to play a big pot with it. I raise to $3, SB calls. Flop comes 9 high, he checks, I bet pot, he calls. Turn is a blank, same action. River is a jack, he shoves for the remaining PSB, I call. He has JJ, sigh. Really wish I didn't keep getting two outed. So tonight I decide to take a shot at $100 NL (6-max of course) after the Red Sox beat the Rockies 2-1 due to great pitching to take a 2-0 lead in the series. I sit in with $100, leaving me a measly $5.12 if I lose it. But I resolved to try and get up $45 and then leave. If I go broke I take a break or redeposit or whatever. Sick and tired of grinding it out at NL $25 just to get t

Alright so I haven't updated in a while, also haven't been playing either. Recently Full Tilt offered me a $50 bonus without having to make a deposit so I've been playing a little bit. Probably only going to clear $10 of the bonus, really just can't get into playing much anymore with work and other stuff like bowling, which I've really gotten into over the past 4 months occupying my time. Anyway, tonight I sat down at a $100 PLO8 table. Morris Chestnut was at the table and I wa able to jump in and be top on the waiting list because it's PLO8. After about 10 minutes I got in. It was a pretty boring game, not much action, most of the table was playing tight. I thought there would be more action with a red pro being at the table and was hoping to see some hold'em donks occupying some seats at this table. I was up a few dollars when this hand took place.

Foxwoods

Took the afternoon off Friday and headed to Foxwoods. Got to the poker room at around 2 and I was looking to play 4/8 Omaha8. However, the list was about 8 people long, and the person at the desk said that there was an interest list going for 1/2 Pot-Limit O8. It was open seating at that point, so I joined in and soon we had a full table of 10 people and the game got going. Early on I made a pretty bad blunder with a strong hand. I had A Q 4 2 on the button and called a $6 raise. One of the blinds also called and the flop came with 2 clubs and 2 low cards, giving me a Q-high flush draw and the nut low draw. I called a $12 bet from the preflop raiser, the other player folded and we were heads up. The turn was the 5 , completing both of my draws. The PFR checked and I checked behind (I know, terrible). The river was th e , 5 putting a possible full house on board. He checked again and I not only check behind but I turn my hand face up instead of letting my opponent reveal his cards. My
