Playing live, taking shots, and having grind on the mind...

Hola Amigos

What a weekend it has been so far....

Live: Played the £10 double at npc last night with the poker society, + Nick (chalfont) was around this way so played too. I was out in the mid stages 3-barrelling a tight guy with J9hh on a A65 A 9 board when i was sure he had KK or QQ and could fold, alas i was wrong as he reallllly cry called the river with KK. Oh well. Chal came 10th i think with 8 paid :( running KQ into bigstacks AA 5 handed, wp gg ul!
Then played the .50 1 game, dropped 2 buyins. Got two outered for a 160 pot, then 4 outered for a 130 pot, ofc bricked a double gutshot when getting about 8:1 implied + 2:1 straight up potodds and then got it in with AJs on a J108 one spade board in a raised pot pre when i had 20 behind against 79. Turn was the Qs giving me a shit ton of outs, alas we brick. Boo.

Me and Joe then played online til about 7am, I played a fair bit of HU and ended up $60 or so, putting the account on $1001 - finally broken the 1k barrier! Was a good feeling.

Today I didnt get up till late then did some PhD research stuff for a thesis. I'm looking into doing something around competitiveness of online gambling, or another vulnerable consumer group topic.

I then played a $10 husng and promptly lost, so registered for a $10 6max mtt which started in 10 mins. I went back to the HU SNG lobby and for a reason that i don't know looked who was waiting in the $100 non turbo games. I Sharkscoped the guy there - his stats were -30% ROI and down 5k over 80 games. I had a $100 token from last weeks sunday tournament...so thought sod it. After 22 mins, 118 hands (only 5 of which got to showdown) I had him down to 3.5k:500, he made it 125 from button, i shipped with 66 and he snapped with K10...the 6 on the turn left him dead and i shouted good things at Poppy (my dog), much to her shock/horror.

I have played 14 sngs today winning 9 and netting $260 profit + raking $30 or so. Lost $20 on MTTs (JJ vs 88 aipf :( )

Bankroll: $1239

Tomorrow am doing group presentation stuff on the banking sector (yawn) then will prob play the partypoker freeroll...maybe at J10's house, maybe here. Got a super busy week, will play the odd game here and there but need to finish of MSc/PhD stuff as well as draft some essay plans for stuff due in in a couple of weeks, so meh.

Gl all
