WARNING! Infectious Virus Notice.
Had a pretty fucking mental week.
To be honest, i cant even remember the last time I blogged and what i said in it, so either gonna miss some chunks out, or repeat everything either way you’ll all get super bored by re-reading everything i already driveled on about, or you’ll actually not read anything remotely interesting in this blog lol – ITS GONNA BE A GOOD ONE FOLKS
played a ton of live pokers last week and did pretty good, had a really sigh start to the week played in a terrible game all night grinding out about £250 profit, that was until Faz turned up and ade it interesting, so interesting in fact that i left with a £600 loss, LOL ground it all back during the week, then decided to dip my toes in the napoleons pool on the friday night, was going ok i was in for £1k and sat about £1.5k deep when this hand occured…
SB straddled to £10 BB limps i raise UTG QQ to £40, 2 callers back to the SB who makes it £150. I call, Faz calls playing about £1200.
Flops Q65. SBShoves for £550, i call, Faz calls. Turn 2 I shove for £600 faz calls. River 3, Faz reveals the 45o. VERY SIGH and GG £3k lol.
So Saturday went out, and i mean REALLY REALLY went out lol me and rob went out about 10ish and met Andy J/Salfi in Revs. After getting pretty pissed we met up with TommyC and his GUUURRRLFWEND Lorna, from revs we went on to Hifi, where Andy for some fucking reaons tried to get in holding a half full (notice how it isnt half empty lol) pint glass of stella, GOOD GAME sir. As soon as we got into hifi we absolutely destroyed it and before too long joe stevenson had met up with us and the rest of the night as you’ll imagine was fairly hazy in memory, fairly sure it was incredible tho.
Sunday night booked a really nice £1k win down at gala, played incredibley well i think, and played right through until 3pm when i was HU and stacked him. Sometimes with live poker I just get the drive to go and go and go and usually when that happens its either cos im enjoying the game, or cos im loosing loads lol. Another mental night out last tuesday, followed by two days of recovery, another winning night live onthursday night @ gala, so all in all pretty good. Played through untill gone 11am again on friday morning, and then striaght home to play online, man I was SO ill friday/saturday as a result I was sweating, had a headache, stomach ache, even started halucinating, going to take this as a lesson to try keep a more balanced sleep schedule, trying to keep clear of the illness im going to call “LIVEPOKER-ITIS” man its seriously fucking brutal. grrrrr
Decided to crank up the volumes in online hands last week as well and set myself the target of 12,500 hands, which as long as i play some non HU is fairly attainable if you “go for it”. I played about 7k hands of 9max NLHE (great way to just shovel volume in without really needing to think too much) a bit on HU nlhe and some more HUplo. I dunno why but i am running shockingly badly in PLO this year, i reached $10,000 under my Exepected Return last week and its just really frustrating, It’s kinda demoralising when i really want to motor on but just so disheartened with online poker because this year has been so brutal to me. I doze off sometimes and think about how bad i’ve run online this year and feel all desperate about it – but this is really bad for you mentally and I quickly try to just move on stay positive, it’s hard but if you cant do that then high volume poker will send you mental.
Results from online been ok-ish actually had a bad session on sunday which sent me to near break even for the week online, im about $1,300 under EV but im not devestated with break even tbh cos on reflection not sure I’ve even played that well, been making some pretty silly mistakes 3/4 times a session and they expensive! So will be spending tomorrow going over those hands and trying to plug some pretty evident leaks so hopefully this weeks target hand of 8,000 will show me a couple of thousand bucks profit, might even run hot? WHO KNOWS!?!
I’ve been re-creating some cool live hands in my handreplayer and saving some internet hands so I think I might post a ton of hands in my next blog.
Congrats to JACK ELLWOOD jammy mrthrFKr goes about casually winning his SECOND, yes SECOND FTOPS last sunday, shipping the $500 HU Event #8 for $89,000. Well played sit, seriously well played.
Ash has been running pretty hot lately as well and got pretty unlucky HU not to win the $162 6max on pokerstars last sunday, and very UL to Mr. John Eames, who lost a really brutal pot on the FT of FTOPS 9 finishing 8th for $20k, when pez won the sunday brawl back last year, i shipped him $6.49 with 15 ppl left, i did the same to Johne but didnt work, sigh.
Thats about all from me, grinding hard and trying to get Vegas moneys together although finding it kind of hard at the moment. Would hate to miss out, so going to really really grind out this next three weeks.
See ya later everyone, GLGL
