Mood Swings

The last 2 or 3 days i really just have not been in the mood to play poker, i think the fact ive been playing small bits every day for ages and not having any complete days off has probably led to me losing interest in the game. Ive experienced this before so i know its temporary and i know my interest and excitement comes back after a few days with little or no play. With a CPC seat (including some cash) ive not really got any goals for the rest of the month and am almost looking forward to the start a fresh new month feeling. Im still somewhere around the £500 profit + $9500 CPC package so no change really in that since the first week of September.

Anyway i only played tonight from 9:20pm:

Holdem Blackjack $20 for fun and practise for CPC sub ones at weekend. finished 6th/30ish (pays to 3) , tiny bit of luck more and i win or cash easily in that but not to be.

£27 10k 380ish entrants, finished 11th after nursing a short stack well around the bubble only to get as high as 6/18. Key pot was AJstd vs KK pot odds which failed to hit. This pot would have put me on 50k in 4/12 but instead i was 8/13 on 30k. Blinds were still low but with a couple more flops missed i went down to 18k before pushing with A8 only to run into a loose caller with A10, out in 11th. Annoying, but all this result does is remind me to play this ridiculously bad standard of a tournament and also to rock it a lot as the standard is so poor.

Only other tournament was $100 28 player one which i finished 8th in (pays to 6th). This one had its moments. I called my 3200 stack all in on my bb with K4off from the sbs push when the blinds were only 400. He had done it way too often and i was waiting for any callable hand. It held against 72off as it was !!! Unfortunately the tournament eventually became a crapshoot and my 68std push in the sb ran into JJ and i was crippled. I doubled again K10 vs rags only for 55 to lose against A10std for a pot that would have put me top 3, but still level stacks with most of the table as they were spread evenly.

So level on the night basically but close to a few results. Probably whole day off tommorrow as out on the piss which will suit me fine before the last day of the months play.
