Sunday Madness

1 of those days so far in most tourneys. Had decent stack in mansion until 88 v AA, now 5k at 100,200 but was 9k :( This despite AA vs 66 preflop for 2k losin at only 25,50 and QQ vs AQ losin vs same chap preflop for 4.5k !!!

Betfair was a joke , i dont often moan bout cards but this was truly shockin. Still was happy with 60th odd / 140 bustin J10std vs AQoff in the end for an ok sized pot.

Bl sq non starter when donk not priced in calls reraise pre with 66 to flop set early.

So left in mansion and playin stars 150 WSOP seat for a m8 which so far follows the same bad path. Update lata mayb......

Yeh busted both them, mansion reraised a button 600 raise to 1800 (1/2 my stack) at 100,200 from the sb with J10off which the guy flat calls. i push 1700 on the Axx flop cringing and he folds. Then wanted to reraise a hijack min raise from button with AJstd but chose to flop. Knew as soon as bb came in and flop of 9,10,J i prob be up shit creek and of course the bb who would have had a laughable 3xbb if their KQ missed had flopped a deserved straight. Like i say they deserved it after their blind out earlier to 3.5xbb and triple up JJ vs Ax vs 56std before blinding out again, quality stuff. Yep im in a sarcastic mood just now. Im actually surprisingly upbeat like im relieved to hav busted or something wtf is that about ? Anyway i still had 4000 at 150,300 but when i raised with Q10std and got the 2 blinds calling , a flop of 10,7,5 was unfoldable, the sb had slow played KK and that was me bust on still what a significant sized pot with outs. Pokerstars well, after losing 40% of stack early to a muppet i eventually managed to get back to more than the starting stack as the table was sooooo tight. I then took a debatable call with 88 for all my chips convinced the bb had AQ or AK as it looked like a classic squeeze. They had QQ and i was out but thats the gamble, blinds were only 50,100 but i had looked at the structure and despite 30 mins levels it still had a jump from 100,200 to 200,400 so i wanted ideally to get a stack before that jump if possible so a gamble seemed appropriate at the time.

Not sure where this leaves me on the poker front for the last 2 weeks before vegas. Was lookin fwd to tonight earlier but the bad start seemed to bring negative stuff in my head. As Sunday is the decent buyins day i really dont know if i will be motivated to play much for the time being and certainly aint gonna play through boredom. Lined up some other stuff for the coming week, so hopefully weather be good and keep myself entertained in other ways.
