It Could Be Time For A Drunken Night Off ?

Much following the same pattern as last night i played the cash tables all afternoon. After going over $800 down i managed to recover to about level. I failed in my mtts , bubbling in Mansion yet again 99 vs AK to have gone 40/70 (pays to 54). Poker has been a bit volatile for my liking over the last 24hrs but this will always happen and the line between large winnings and a slight loss or level can often be a very thin one. Still knocking on the right doors in big enough games so im sure im still playing well but a day off could be a good thing tommorrow, we will see. Tempted to go back on the cash tables in a minute so may update this post later if i do but not sure at this moment.


Late Night Update:

I did hit the cash tables and again for a period followed the same pattern. Lost over 800$ before recovering to level. Then i lost 400$ back in a pot with top 2 pair against bottom trips on the flop. I thought i should probably stop then as it was (and is) very late but the table had some shocking players so i stayed longer and was glad i did. I hit a few nice hands and got back to level but then the short handed table filled up to 10 and again i knew i should go to bed but vowed to stay a few rounds looking for QQ or better or a set as the table was pure nuts. It was then that my biggest winning cash pot to date occurred.

3,6$ and UTG+1 i get KK and make it 33$ (an overraise but utg has limped and this table is nuts i dont want more than 1 caller ideally)

I actually get 3 callers ! and utg folds ! Flop is a KQ5 rainbow and i bet 100 into the 140 pot.
Next guy moves allin for 270 total and the worst player at the table who is a total calling station flat calls him.
I have the option to reraise so obviously do and make it another 320$ (ie ive put 500 in on the flop in total !)
He calls (of course !!!) and the turn is a harmless 3 but a second diamond.
The calling station could easily be drawing dead here if you saw how bad he was but all the same the pot is big enough and i move in for my last 510$ which is the same as the total flop bet anyway ! He now folds and i win the pot against the AQ that moved in on the flop when a harmless river jack came.

Total pot won (excluding the returned turn bet) in the end was $1620 ! Boy ive been waiting all week for something like that and it finally comes along in the form of a monster :))

Only problem i have now is the calling station just outdrew someone for another huge pot and is stacked again. Its almost 5am and im split between staying on a bit and going to bed. As its 10 handed im justified to go when i like but half the table are nutters so if i hit a monster board its so likely i will get paid.

God knows what i will raise to if i get KK or even AA in the hole, LOL.


Even Later Night Update

Oh man ive gone golden all of a sudden. My friend busted most of his 1300$ with J10off on a 10 high flop (but not to me), other guy only had K10 but pumped the flop and caught a king on the turn when the money was going in anyway. Anyway shortly after i pick up AA again and this time take his last 209$ which is only too happy to commit all of preflop with K9off, At the same time i get a guy on JJ who obviously also doesnt believe my rereraise in mid postion of a 10 handed table and also donates his 300$ as well. GOLDEN :))

Was just about to leave for bed but matey reloaded to 120 and doubled through, i cant leave :)) . 5:20am nooooooooooooooo LOL . Ah as i write this hes lost it all bar 36 with Q8off preflop against A10std 200$ preflop , Oh dear. I can confirm that he is the worst player ive ever played at any stake of poker live or online, i guess the money means nothing to him as he doesnt get involved in any chat, even when people are stupidly abusing him and just plays his own game. Also he is from from sweden, you dont often see scandies calling you down, they supposed to be the ones betting !!!
