Well guess its been fairly eventful day for me.
Didnt play at all yesterday so was up for playing more than i have for a while today. Managed to not place in 8 sixpacs in a row before finally recovering a bit of the loss. Outdraws were very frequent as i wasnt playing bad at all , happens. Played 15 in the end.

Sixpac Loss : -£197

Played a £1,£2 NL cash table 10 handed for a bit alongside a sixpac and fortunately won £200 when a guy couldnt lay down QQ preflop despite me making it obvious i had AA.

Then had break and left it to evening for couple of multis. No good in the $109 one , certainly the cards didnt help as i went into card dead mode just when i needed to be stealing pots to sustain my stack. The 109euro game i played was different, got off to a good steady start before playing 2 hands on which i could easily have bust on.

1) had limped early with 96std flop 997 pot = 200 approx. bb leads with 150 i decide to flat call and not pump the pot as i often would. turn = 5 he checks and i check assuming i will get a ok pay off on the river and not too many danger cards. river is a 3 and he bets 500, i call and he has 93 for full house , phew i survive a hand i would be moaning about if i raised the flop or turn.

2) This one is a classic. KK on the button no one else in the pot. i was to 150 (50=bb) , bb calls. flop JJ7 , i decide to slow play and slow the betting down in case he has a jack as i dont wanna difficult laydown if possible. chk chk turn is a jack, i bet 100 convinced im miles ahead trying to look weak hoping he will just call or even make a move on me which i know i wouldnt believe. He calls river is an ace, he checks and i check feeling there is no payoff there unless im behind, he shows J10std for 4 jacks and i text in "thank you for not busting me by raising the turn" which got no response despite him commenting on the hand before which he had tripled up on LOL. So im weak now and think im doomed as i havent cashed in this for a few months , i used to cash 30-40% of the time probably so my record of late is appalling.

Anyway after some steady play, agressive pushing and 1 or 2 beats as well (against me that is!) i manage to make the last 10 for 276euro before busting on 9,10std vs AK for a pot to go 3rd or 4th out of 10. Unfortunately the slow play and the short stacks kept doubling before the final table so the blinds were too big to wait for any premium hands so i was happy to commit to try and steal with my 9,10std at that point and was only a 41.5% dog to double through anyway.

I thought i would be happy to cash for once but im actually just as pissed off as if i had finished 11th , i know i wanted top 3 for a decent pay day but hopefully i can feel a bit more confident about reaching that far when i play next week.

If i put my preflop luck into context in that tournament i think i won the following:

AA vs 22
99 vs A10
KK vs QQ

and lost:

Q9 vs K10
A7std vs AKstd
9,10std vs AK
J6 vs Q8std (and another hand as was 3 way pot checked through)

I think i can feel a bit hard done by not to have got a bit further especially avoiding the 2 hands i could have bust on.

Overall for the day im about £75 up i guess , think i went down £270 at worst before recovering so could be worse.
