HU Over

Unsure what to write basically played crap for 30-60mins then played out of my skin and dominated for the next hour or so. Supposed to be on challenge at some point but i wasnt on a hole cam table so guess will only see allins and a few clips here and there, oh and mayb a cringy interview.

1st hand i lose 4000 2 pair vs nut straight
2nd hand i double up rivering a straight, he mucked after callin river but at least 2 pair
3rd hand i 4 bet 44 allin and he has AA and holds

so its 16k vs 24k after 3 hands with my 20% shot to win over.
like said above played crap for bit, low was about 6500 i think.
suck out K7 vs AK 7 on river er that took me back to 14 or 15k i think.
peaked at about 23k after playing small ball poker from there on as much as poss

then huge hand playing 22k i call a raise out of position with 34off then check raise his continuation bet to 5000 on a Kc8c4x board. he moves allin 300/600 level and not too much of it left its 11k to call and my instinct is he has flush draw at best but i really thought he had AJ AQ or even worse to be honest. After about 2 minutes i went with my instinct (sommat i regret not doing in my first match enough) and made the call. He showed 75cc for gutshot flush draw and overs so i guess i maybe was 50% but irrelevent anyway as flush immediately hit the turn.

left with 4200 i double through Q4std vs K10 before the strangest of exit hands.

he limps button and i chk 93off
flop QQ3 and i check raise his about 700 bet to about 1600
turn is Kd making 2 diamonds on board and ive got bout 6500 left
read on flop was he had nothing, maybe king or ace high so i bet 2400ish so i had option of getting away but lookin committed at same time (obv would go with instinct or read if he shoves)
he flat calls and i still believe im ahead at this point , river was a low diamond and i shove my 4000ish allin
he says call and i thought he said jack high but no he says jack high flush and shows J7dd WTF
says he thought i was at it on flop but WTF if thats the case shove the turn and have some fold equityor reraise the flop, hate his play on this hand but whatever. I wanted him in i guess and i played so well the last hour i wasnt angry just disappointed.

Would have been mad with myself if i bust the K7 vs AK i truly played shocking up to that point and it definitely was a match of 2 halves. Took more from this match than the 1st one and hopefully will make my experience count to grab a live title one day in the future.


Online ive stayed level since that huge loss other night but (if im not pushing my luck as still playing) im up a couple of £k tonight so far. Looking forward to the 1st week in Nov where i hope to ease right off and chill out ,unless im in a complete addict mode and the games are good of course ;)

HU Win Online Loss

Mixed day, got a bye then made last 16 (pays 4 only 42 entered) after 3hrs 20mins beating Marc Goodwin. Dont play hu again till Thursday which is a good job cos i just dropped my biggest loss online for months in one session, arrrrrrrgh :(

As It Stands

Right heres how the month has gone in £ so far. Lost chunk first 3-4days -£9k at worst. Went on mad run for about 2 weeks after with only 1 small losing day. Peaked at £38,500 then hit real bad couple of days to drop £12k of that. Edged back up to £32k over nxt few days but lost a couple of thou yesterday before i drove to Bristol the play a £550 game so currently £30k + £3,300 HU package next week. Also having to play 3-4hrs a day min online for a promo which will prob net me $1000+ but with a huge slice of luck could nab an Aussie Millions package.

The £550 was fun, i thought i would have found it difficult focusing after such a good month and losing approx 4x buyin b4 i even started and this was true for the first couple of levels where i wasnt overly impressed with my game at all. Picked up after first break though and managed to hit some good hands which obviously helped. Was prob top 3 of not chip leader after 5.5 levels with 49k (starting 10k) but missed loads after that and got resistance in the wrong places. Dropped to 35k then back to 40k before i called a reraise with 99 and lost a pot to have gone to 77k vs AA on a AQ9 flop. 5xbb out a few hands later. Had fun though, dunno what it is but i really like Bristol Gala casino and was glad a made the effort to attend. Drove back after so didnt play any live cash games but glad to have played with some chips before the HU championship next week.

Downswing Time

Very poor day by my last 2 weeks standards. Even tilted a bit at one point which contributed to losing 1 stack. Bout £4,000 down today, sounds sick but if i published my total profit for the month it would be sicker so i cant complain, just posting here so can start a fresh tommorrow.

Edit...back on lost thousands more :((:((:((:((:(( , reverse variance kickin in big time :(:(:(:(:(

Yesterdays Loss

For the first day in a week i had a losing day. Also had memory loss after too many drinks and a nasty resulting hangover today :(

Actually only lost £500 yesterday but ive had my best week at the tables since June. Wont post figures yet in case i swing back down but i dont think i could be playing or running better. Had an offer accepted on a house and at this rate i wont need a family loan i had planned to keep my bankroll from being squeezed too tight.

May play the Bristol £550 next Saturday but ive got the World Heads Up £3,300 on the Tuesday after so havent quite decided yet. Defintely not going to the carribean now but hoping i might make a Florida/Vegas trip mid November if house doesnt get in the way. Similarly i would luv to go to the Aussie Millions again but completion date might clash with this so just to to see.
