Mixed evening, i reminded myself earlier why i dont like playing stts when i finished 4th and 6th in 2 $109s. 6th i could handle as card dead the whole game but the 4th drove me wild. was chip leader and watched the weak chippie outdraw against someone (including me once) 3 times before i called an all in overraise with 55 only to run into QQ. Promptly switched off for couple hours to regain focus.

When i returned i found my luck in tourneys was useless AK vs A8 losing preflop for 1600 pot level 3 in the 10k leaving me crippled on 300. Then chip leader out of 8 for a seat in $530 final QQ got overraised by a K8std which hit a king , absolute joke of a player but was only $25 so nothing new there.

Cash seems to go a lot better , made about £50 on £1,£2 before the tourneys, then after the tourneys decided to hit the $2,5$ 10 handed game for a short while as i knew i wouldnt be patient enough to stay on it long. Turned out to be a hit and run , i only played 20 hands and the 13th yielded a nice pay off , see below.

It does pay to be fishy sometimes, shame about the river might have got a complete double. (could have been one of the 6 sole destroying diamonds though ! )
