Negatives Time

Spent most of the afternoon/early evening feeling pissed off with myself and my body. I guess it was bound to happen. A bad run of luck on low stakes omaha losing $300 or so and i headed to a £2,5NL table where i prompted got aces busted by 33 and lost a total of around £400 in a very short space of time. As ive told myself many times i know i shouldnt be playing when im in the wrong mood and its just more proof of what should be obvious.

Anyway i headed back to the table at 8pm this evening and played .......

Later Edit:

OMG time to use blog for reason it was designed. Im absolutely livid mad gutted fuming , whatever else u can imagine without swearing properly. This game can be so so sick sometimes and i feel about as bad as can do from busting a tournament.

£55 12k only 191 entrants. I take an fairly aggressive stance early and it works when im allin AJ on a Q10xx board and KJ calls and i move to 3500. Basically from there i had no all ins preflop at all and played perfect poker in my optinion. Thats until there was 21 players left. Ive been taking mayb 20-30% pots around bubble fairly active with hands like 56std, 78off as well as a hellish risky but rewarded resteal with 97off all uncalled. I finally pick up AKoff and do the same raise 3xbb to 2400. Button guy moves in for 10k and has AJ and hits 2 pair and i dont improve. I win that i go to 35k chip leader at 400,800 blinds, sick but thats not all. Bubble goes and i push with Q10std in cutoff 10k as blinds have increased to 600,1200 and the table is still 7 handed. Guy on button who has me just covered folds AJ. Next hand 10 handed i move allin 15k with 99, guy next to me who had AJ hand before decides 77 is a better hand to call an allin with. Perfect ive set up another 16-20% pot for 23k. Except he catches a 7 on the turn and im left on 4k. Absolutely sick this 12k is a nightmare for me, i make things happen and that happens. A flip or being caught at it i could take but to lose 2 pots like that when ive picked perfect spots everywhere before that is totally demoralising. Of course i bust 2 hands later on a 40/60 9,10off vs KQ which unsurprisingly fails to improve for a 10k pot. I hate this game sometimes i know it rewards good players in the long run but its damn sick in the short term when it rewards fools or rocks that aint done nothing to warrant their finishing position other than get lucky.

End of rant and play for the day. ******* *********
