Bad Temptered ****** Animals / Big Win At Bottom After Fuming

Im so glad there are distractions and its summer. What an absolute joke every tournament i enter is at the moment. It follows a similar pattern of steady chips or big stack then a load of bull just before the money or big money. Examples:

Betfair $320 $50k about 150 runners. 5k stack up to 6kish early flopping lots as so deepstacked. Then call a min raise for 60 on the button with 83std. Matey b4 me bets pot of 425 and i raise pot to 1575 which he calls. Flop had been 873 with 2 diamonds btw. Turn is a black ace and i push allin for his 3k left. Of course he had A8off and im left on 1k or so. Went down as low as 700 then got the pointless luck to triple 77 vs xx vs xx and next hand suck a fish in with a gutshot vs my top trip Js so back to 5k. Progress nicely after tightening up and making a good resteal against a weakish stack button raiser. Peaked at 18k then lost 3 pot odds calls of all in which i had the best hand in all including AA vs K8 (lost to a full house). Left on 9k at 1200 big blind utg my 99 runs into chipleaders 10s , what a joke and of course it holds up for him. Out in about 35 of 150 ish runners. Also didnt mention escaped AJ vs 44 on a A456 board at one point, big laydowns are as important as big winning pots in the big games.

Had a vip freeroll of 13 players with a $2500 package and $1000/$500 for 2nd and 3rd next. Good structure in this and played well to progress to chipleader without being in any danger then at 200,400 i push the small blind with 55 and the flaming rock fool bb calls allin for 3400 with only A6off. He hits and im only about joint chip leader but now in a dangerous spot. Anyway my fate is sealed a few hands later when i overraise an utg min raiser with JJ but of course the big blind (same stack) wakes up with KK and a king on the flop seals my fate. Sick game , if i won the 55 i could have freerolled to the money and if utg hadnt raised i prob get away from that JJ. Sometimes u have to bash your head against a brick wall during/after multis and in one more game and despite it being a big one i couldnt care less now what happens (still playing properly but negative thoughts 100%). 35th/58 at mo in the $100k on ipoker (pays to 50) $215 443 entrants, guess update later on here or fume when bust/bubble more likely.

Btw i aint proud but i went nuts at guy in the chat box earlier on betfair, he gave fair bit back but after i got back in he types nh a few times, i apologise for being a **** which he takes v well. My short fuse is becoming a bit sad at the moment online but i think its only cos i put so much effort in and cant help it when i really put effort into a game. No excuses but i doubt i will change years down the line cos i know its never the money that gets me wound up, play or comments being the usual culprits.

Still playing well i suppose is the important thing and i couldnt be much happier with my play tonight, one mistake which was marginal that i know of anyway.


Later update: luck reverse so far fingers crossed. Crept into money at 7xbb then KK vs A10 and 88 vs AQ both hold and cos game so level im 2nd/44 but crapshoot so not as good as sounds but i'll take it for now.


Later update:
Just hit final table: Got some luck for once, lets hope its till the end. The massive key pot though so far was one i lost AK vs 10s for 20% of the chips in play with only 14 players left. Pushed uncalled and had few pots odds both ways. When i hit the final table i was only 7th/10 but ideally i would like to finish 4th or higher for $6000+. Now 6th/9 after busting 1 player but folding AQ on a blank flop.

Later update:
Got well involved, too much action to list really. What i will say is with 6 players left i had just lost 10s vs JJs for 120k pot and was left on 10k with the big blind at 10k !!! I got lucky, yeh u heard it first i got lucky :) ....anyway with 3 players left i was the weakest and almost got back in after a big bluff with queen high but i then lost a chunk priced in hugely in a big pot and eventually busted J8std vs 99 preflop. So 3rd for $8000. I gotta be happy but i know im gutted and disappointed not to make 1st or 2nd for $26k/$17k respectively. There was a bit of poker left in the game with 4 left after a big crapshoot so its a shame. Its in my nature to always go for the win, i wouldnt be where i was today without that gambling mind. Well obviously thats a good profit so far for June and i dunno if ive said before but im going to use my June profit as potential stakes in Las Vegas. Definitely gonna try the $1000 bellagio game for sure, its time i put some decent money in myself and give myself regular chances of bigger stuff. If i have a losing month in July so be it, i know im playing my best poker online at the moment and hope i can translate that into some live stuff as well.
