Taking a break…
Feeling a bit better now… had a rest, took a break from poker yesterday and did something different to get my mind right. You should try it… does you the world of good, I feel like a new man… ready to take on the world.
Watched “Junior” trying to play a bit of basketball last night… oh man… what a joke! The guy is a 2 meter tall giant but he’s got two left feet, the dude keeps trippin over himself… so eventually they figured, heh “Junior” you stand by the basket and we’ll pass you the ball… all you have to do is put it in… stop running around falling over and just stay near the basket… it was funny!
Well the look on “Junior’s” face was funny… hope he doesn’t read poker blogs… he’s a big guy!
Then I spent a bit of time looking for some top online casino software – need to upgrade my casino games, get some new stuff going.
Also went out with a few friends to celebrate St Patricks day, its crazy what people wear on St Patricks day!! There was this one dude dressed in a green jacket, bright green tights and a green top hat – Dude you look like a freak, a green freak! Suppose its one day when you can look like a freak, anyway after a couple of beers who cares, he certainly didn’t!!!
Going to try and be a bit more patient now. Taking a break helps get your mind right!

Bad Run lately
Been feeling a bit sick for the past couple of days and it has resulted in affecting my game in a bad way. Got knocked out of the tourney last night after only about an hour and sunday night lost some money in a cash game. Online has been the same story and I only have myself to blame. Playing way too many hands that shouldn’t even be played and very impatient with the betting etc. So the verdict is, DO NOT PLAY WHEN YOU AREN’T FEELING WELL…It wont give you a good result and will probably cost you a decent amount of money.

Tilt….
So played in a tourney of 47 last night. It was unlimited re-buys for the first hour with a double add on option before the 1st break. The starting chip stack was 1000 and by the time the break came around I had about 3400 without having to do any re-buys and got the double add on which brough my stack to 5400 while the average was around 3k…As the tournament progressed I played well and by the time there were 19 of us left I had about 14k in chips with the average being about 8k. Then I stopped getting playable hands and with the blinds being quite large already they started depleting my stack. It was time to make a move!!!
I was in small blind at the 600/1200 level, with A10 suited and everyone folded so I raised to 3600. The big blind went all-in 4000 so obviously I called. He flipped over QJ so I wasn’t worried about it. Of course this time around on the river a Q came out and he ended up taking the pot. I dont care if 3 Queen’s came out on the flop, it would actually be pretty cool but I have when I get beat by the river card. My stack being 10000 now and me being pissed next hand I went all-in with pocket 5′s. Ironically the same player had JJ and ended up winning which put me down to 2000 in chips and at that point my chances were quite slim to make it to the final table which was set to be 9 people. I ended up getting eliminated in 10th place and I feel that it was my own fault as I shouldn’t have pushed all-in on a pair of 5′s as I was on the button and had a chance to see a few free hands while the button was moving around the table and having 10000 I was still in pretty good position. That river card and being on tilt is a bitch isn’t it…..lol

The Always Hated River Card…
Hey,
So last night played in a small 25 people tourney and was sitting pretty good the whole game until there were 11 of us left…Blinds were 600/1200 already and I haven’t had played a hand in over an hour so lost a few thousand just on the blinds with about 8000 in chips left. I was in late possition and got KQ so decided to push all in to steal the blinds since there were no raises. Unfortunately the player on the button called and turned out he had AQ. He had about 9000 in chips so I though my night was over but this time around that hated river card worked to my benefit. The flop came out 3 hearts with one of them being a Q but that didnt do much for me since I was dominated by the A kicker of my opponent. Thankfully I got one more heart on the river and ended up taking down the pot with what is a bad beat I would say in my opinion. That put me at around 20,000 so I was sitting comfortably at that point. After knocking out 2 people at the final table and having 50% of the chips in play I dominated the rest of the game and took down 1st place for $9000 all because of that hand. I should have been out of the tournament 11th instead and Im happy to say it I took down the whole thing

Last minute luck…
Hey everyone. Played in a cash game the day before yesterday and if wasnt going to well from the beggining. Partly because I was making mistakes myself and the rest was people drawing me out by the river and me ending up having to fold or loosing in the showdown. I bought in for $2000 originally and in about 3 hours I was $4000 in it. Played for about an hour more and then just got tired of it since my stack was down to $1300 again. This is when in a matter of 30minutes everything turned upside down and started going my way for a change…
I was in big blind with pockes 3′s, person after me raised to $100 and every single other player called…Me in a desperation move and saying that I just want to go home already pushed all-in. Surprisingly only one player called and I ended up winning the pot for he had 2 over cards and they didnt come out for him. I was right back at $3400 with that hand. Then about 20 minutes after that I got pocket 10′s and moved all-in once more having being called by one opponent with 2 over cards. Nothing came out for him either and I ended up gettin up from the table with $6700 and being up almost 3K…feels nice to just get plain old lucky every now and then.
