Decided at the end of last week to go to the Walsall GUKPT this week. I have taken my buyins for the £275 omaha and £1,060 main event (day1a likely) out of my montly profit and am looking forward to a small change of scene all be it not quite so glamorous as previous trips of late :) Driving up Wednesday and im interested to see how i play given the month im having. Main objective is to not assume anything and not be complacent, each individual game is different regardless of previous results or winnings. Just going to try and relax and enjoy myself as i know that is when i play best anyway. Should be fun just hope i dont get bored and start daydreaming of online omaha part way in :)
Online last few days has been more volatile than usual but i guess thats because ive been on 25/50$PL omaha as well as 10/20.
Friday was only about an hour in play and made quick £4,500.
Saturday i think i dropped about £6000 before quickly recovering and finishing £13,250 up on the day.
Sunday was the mad day, i had grinded early and only lost about £2000. When i returned (with some booze inside me but this wasnt an issue) i just missed all big pots and at one point found myself down a sum of £32,000. Fortunately the variance came back and i ended up a respectable £11,350 down for the day which felt like level or a win in my brain.
Today i woke up very late so only played this evening. Was steady at first floating between £1000-£2000 up but there wasnt much tables to choose from. Then some good games hit one site and i sat on 10/20 and 25/50 there for a while. Ended nicely £9,500 up and thought that would be it. I glanced later though and a guy i dont respect was sat at 25/50. Ended up playing him HU for 90 mins on 2 tables and took him for about £13,000. Total profit on the day = a record (for cash games only) of £22,550. Profit for month back to peak after Sundays drop.

Animal Sessions
Wednesday: 25/50 lost about £6,000 but finished £3,200 up on day.
Thursday: Crazy day see below.
Afternoon was on nearly all 25/50. Lost $12,000 fairly quickly and almost moved site but then ran good in the nick of time and steadily the stack grew. Finished £14,000 up a couple of hours later.
Back this evening for a crazy night. Quickly went up £2,000 before going into a few hours of pure hell. This was all on 10/20 and a lot on hi lo yet i still managed to lose several buyins. I then floated between £10,000 and £14,000 down on the session (eg level on the day) for absolutely ages. Finally the game dried up when i had got a chunk back and i was left playing v v fast aggressive HU hi lo against the same guy on 2 tables. An hour or so later and completely drained i managed to claw all of the evenings work back to level, ie i finished £14,000 up on the day. Ahhhh what a life !

Dont Always Win - (Late Edit - Or Do I ? )
Just to prove i dont always run good and i dont rely on running good heres a dabble i had a 50/100 a moment ago. I can take the loss, just thought id blog some hands for a change.
lost 5 pots against same guy only beating him once for $4k pot and a smaller when weak pot.
But this pot done me, bad variance so wont be playing that stake again this month:
button $350 (playing $2k) , villian pot raise to $1,150, im bb with AA103 1 suit and pot to $3,800. He is only playing $8100 and flat calls. Obviously there is no folding here regardless of cards. Flop is J85 with his flush draw, he has 10,10,8,7 and hits gutshot 9 to win the $16,800 pot.
exact odds me/him on:
preflop 62/38
flop 39/61
flop not relevant really as committed almost 50% of his stack preflop so unfoldable. :(
Late edit: Didnt play for hours after that session but logged back on just after midnight. After 5 mins and dropping £2000 (£11,000 down on the day at that point) i had a golden 2.5hrs session on 10/20 again and made it all back. Finished £50 up on the day lol !

In Shock - Best Poker Score Ever
Just bust 3rd/9061 in ftops $129 NL holdem tournament for $54,366. Obv had my fair share of luck in the 12 hours it took but couldnt quite finish it off. 77 vs 99 bust hand 7 flopping but 4 diamonds to be flushed out. Also same guy had rivered an A3 vs other guys JJ to stay in which cost me $36k more and HU. Also won £10,500 on omaha cash earlier in the day so all in all my best day ever by a mile. Total £47,000 profit on the day, sick. Sickest part is not getting 2nd or 1st, im still disappointed as had 40% chips in play a few times but always got knocked back. Wasnt to be though i guess and to be honest it was the highest standard final table ive ever played live or online by a mile.
Right htf am i going to get to sleep , hmmmmmm.

Tough Day
Probably shouldnt have played today but despite a hangover and sore throat i couldnt resist as im truly an addict at the moment. (didnt play drunk though last night!!!) Within 10mins i had busted $4000 and spent most of the day chasing that. Thankfully patience was rewarded eventually when i had a golden 30mins in the evening which saw me peak at £2,500 in profit. Lost some back though and finished £800 in profit which i was happy with as i didnt run well overall for the day.
The two previous days were a different story with nice chunks of luck in both. £6,800 and £7,400 profits although i did peak at £10k on the 2nd day before variance finally kicked in.
It would be nice to enter some tournaments tommorrow for a change but easier said than done when the usual omaha urge kicks in, will have to see on the day.
