Trying To March On
Unsuccessful so far in March. Seem to have lost my head a bit but also my enjoyment of the game. Have only played 2 days as a result and thought i had turned it around last night before losing a nasty chunk on 25/50. Only £6000 down so far so not too worried but need to quickly get back that enjoyment, that relaxed, and that confident play i was full of last month.

Feb Review
Following on from January and my best month since Oct 2005 at £40k i am very pleased to report a final February profit of £123,000.
Seem to have kept my head on most of the month with only 2 or 3 bad sessions. No complacency and no tilt are a must in high stakes omaha and im getting better but still not 100% perfect for sure.
Im still a bit disappointed not to have won that FTOPS but getting my best ever multi cash and finishing 3/9000 is not something i should moan and dwell about for much longer.
March target is to keep plugging away. Almost def going vegas about the 15th for a week and havent ruled out London GUKPT last weekend of month, just see my mood when i get back.

GUKPT/Saturday
Started the day off badly dropping £3000 online before i even got there. When i hit the table i managed to get reraised the first steal i was on. I then ran 44 into KK short stack to drop to 30,000 quickly. Clawed my way back to 48000 with steals and reraises before this hand occurred. Earlyish raiser and i think he looks uncomfortable weak, picked most of this up when sb was dwelling for ages. But instead of reraising i elected to take a flop with 86off and try pick it up there. Flop came 843 and i check raise him allin to be shown A8off, good read but ul flop and gave myself grief for not shoving preflop. Moved that hand with just over 20,000 to new table.
Now pretty much shove poker but shoves got through for ages until i finally ran 22 into KK. Left on 2000 utg+2 1000/2000 100 ante i thought i was done. Anyway folded next hand then tripled AK vs KQ vs KQ before moving tbale again with only 9500.
Move utg+1 and couldnt shove so had to take the 2k bb. Q4cc and there is limp utg and button and sb tops up. Flop of KQJddd all check. Turn 6d and i cant help firing 4000 into the pot (3500 behind). Result utg folds a better hand and button folds a straight he had slow played on the flop, sb folds and im pretty chuffed. Shove poker again and finally i push sb 22000 A7cc and try to look weak. bb tanks and goes with read im weak and i double vs QJoff. Pretty much still short stack stuff and i make the cash when 28 remain. Still shove poker and finally just before blinds going up to 4k i stick my dwindling stack in with 97cc only to be looked up by AJ. Board 6828K and im gone in 22nd for £2,250. Happy to cash after being down to 1 xbb but money makes little diff to the month ive had so ultimately disappointed. 100% happy with my play though although with hindsight allin 86off only semi-mistake but not major.
I then played 4-6card omaha and got very drunk only dropping £200ish in the end. Then the big mistake of the day came when i managed to donk off over £20k drunk online, def made some some silly moves after tilting a bit when 3 or 4 flips went against me. Another lesson learnt and a daft way to try to spoil what had been a fantastic month.
One more note on the GUKPT, i must have had 10-15 allins preflop or on the flop and every time the best hand won. Shame i didnt get better cards then :(

Good Prep
Only woke up at 4pm today, was exhausted from day 1 , i guess i put a lot of effort in without realising. Played 70 mins online all on 10/20 immediately and was as golden as can be with all bluffs getting through and all calls made of others bluffs right, as well as winning nearly all the preflop or flop allins ! Result was a £8,550 profit. Expected to return for a lot more after dinner but popped in the grosvenor only to bump into Den (Denlizliz) who had just bust. Spent rest of evening talkin to him and railing Steve (Ultgamb) who also made day 2 with about an average stack i think. Just done another 90 mins on 10/20 just now and managed to collect £2,050 so finished £10,600 on the day, crazy stuff !
Will try to enjoy tommorrow but not interested in just cashing so if i see big gamble possibilities im likely to take them. Keen on making my first GUKPT final table but to be honest only the top few payouts are of any true interest the month ive had.
