Breaking Even, But Hey, Just Look at Those Player points!

Taking shot’s again, I have the feeling I’m going broke this week but don’t really mind, I want to hit big or die trying.

Played the $200's last night. Got it all in pre-flop in the push-shove stage with AK v's QQ, Spiked an Ace but they turned a Queen. Then Got it all with A 10 V's 99, Spiked a ten, they turned a nine.

Finished second in a 6 handed $210 game, won a massive pot when In the SB, I re-raise a serial position raiser all-in with pocket 77’s and big blind wakes up with kings the raiser calls with AK. I hit a 7 on the flop and KK calls me a Moran, I know how he feels to be honest but I think my move is understandable in the circumstances.

When head’s up I have a 6,400 to 2,600 chip lead, I called an all-in from my oppo when I had J10 suited to his A5, ace high holds and he takes the lead and wins at a canter. Not sure about my call here, blinds are 200-400 and its lottery time but its still a not much of a call as I think im behind here at least 70% of the time. I Then play a $200 heads-up game and win easily, never behind raising every button. For a second I realise just how damn good I am at head-up poker, the best complement I think I can pay myself is I would just hate to play against my own style.

Play a quick $55 heads-up and I’m back to where I started the evening. Think I ran very badly again but was good enough/lucky enough to even it out over all. I settle into a HA (Hold’em/Omaha PL) round of each $20 tournaments, I am big chip leader when the doom switch is again flipped against me. Guy min raises and the whole table calls as do I in the big blind with J8 diamond, flop comes J 8 8 and it goes in, min raiser has aces and turns an ace, I keep catching 88 monster flops and getting hurt. Good job I have no chat, then I lose when some idiot calls my raise with 9 5 hearts and moves in on a two heart flop and rivers then flush against my flopped two pair.

I’m still above average and somewhat tiltedly raise with 7 5 hearts, flops comes 6 4 3, lovely. I bet and chip leader re-raises me all in, he shows 6 2, turns a 2 and I don’t even have to look to know he hits another 2 on the river. I sort of chuckle as it sums up my recent run and it’s hard to care too much when you have been playing the $200’s.

Weathers amazing at the moment, I walked home because my knee had been playing up and it needs the workout. I get home about 4:30pm and sit in my lovely garden drinking beer on my bench for an hour or so last night as Becky played and all was right with the world.
