On tuesday i decided to play a few tourny's since the cash games were full of regs and whilst im on a 45k hand b/e stretch i thought i would take it easy. I ended up going out in 6th for $2.2k which is a decent cash in the end but i played pretty terrible in the later stages.
Firstly, when we got down to the final 3/4 tables i isolated a limper in MP with 66. The btn and the limper both called and the flop came down K 5 3. The EP limper donk bet the flop and i shoved since the guy was a huge fish and i think any A4/A5/A3s type hand makes up his range. He called and flipped KJ and i was pretty disappointed in my somewhat tilty play in trying to push a french fish off a hand. Anyway the turn was a blank, before BINK......6 on river for a 2 outer!!! I played this really really badly but i guess in donkaments with 1k +fields you need your fair share of luck.
Nothing of note occured until the final table where i started 7/9 before i got a double up 3rd hand with JJ>>AK to go CL. From here it went down hill though. Firstly, i was pretty card dead and inactive on a weakish table, until i opened 8Js UTG 7 handed, the btn and bb both called. The flop came down 259 to clubs and i fired out a C/Bet which the BB called. the turn came a Q and i decided to barrel again for 1/2 my stack against a player who i noted as a station who could of peeled the flop incredibly lightly, however he instaa min raised and i insta mucked lol! following that i was then the table short stack and shoved over a raise and 3 bettor with AKs which was called by 1010 and i did not get there :(. I think this play was fine given the 3 bettor was the only competent player at the table and AK fair well even against his 3 betting range On the btn. Overall a decent cash but i really should of finished in the top 3 and look to take down the $9.5k.
Since then ive played around 2k cash games hands for around $600 profit which is good and my BR is looking healthy again as i am looking to build a 100 buyin BR for 400nl. Im also epexcting to hit SN early Nov where i will be able to purchase the $4k reward bonus from pokerstars which is sweet although it might be early January before i get there.
In general things are looking brighter than a few weeks ago i guess. My life plans are all geared at the moment towards purchasing a car in early 09. Im looking to buy a car in the region of £6-9k most likely a 2nd hand car something like a Golf GTI would be sweet but the insurance is going to be a nightmare for whatever i choose so meh! Your only young once! As for this weekend im playin golf early 2moro morning in northumberland with the golf society i play in. My golf has certainly improved but i tilt pretty hard when things dont go my way so hopefully i can just put in a steady round where i dont make a fool of myself.
gl at the tables over the weekend JP.
