Shipped the $215 HU last night for my 1st major win and $15.5k. Pretty pleased naturally and won the last 4games or so comfortably. I beat two HSNL cash regs in the early rounds thanks to 77 vs AK AIPF and 55 vs 32hh on a A 5 8hh board. Offered to do a chop HU because of the huge pay jump yet the fish declined. So glad i didnt chop as he was the worst guy i had played all evening.
Prior to the win i had my worst week in poker i think :(. Firstly my computer got a virus last weekend and i was unable to back-up my HEM database, meaning i lost over 300k of Hand histories with alot of reads and notes on regulars :(. It cost me £220 for the priviledge of getting it fixed as i tilt went to a well known high street retailer. They then told me it could take anything up to 45 days to fix! So i basically bribed them into fixing it next day as in theory that should be the cheaper option.
Im down about $5k online for the week. Started a new HEM db so steadily remembering who is who when im playing. Ive run really bad and played very very tilty which is probably due to a combination of things but whatever. Volume this month has been fairly lame i think along with profits which are probably about $2k+RB. On Wednesday i played £2/5 at the Vic and had my 1st losing live session. Was stuck a total of £2.8k after losing a monster £3.2k with JJ on a 578 Kdd board facing a huge overbet donk on the turn allin for 3x pot. I snapped and river peels a 9d to which the guy turns over JTdd gg me. So it looks like this MTT ship has just covered my losses for the month + change :P
Stars recently changed there table buyins which have had a negative effect for me personally, the 40-100bb tables are pretty tough as fish are attracted to the 20-50bb tbls. At midstakes Euro hours there are no more than 15 40-100 bb tables running, so theres not much choice for table selecting playing 6-8 tables. I don't crush like i used to and wont be a winner on some of the tables i play so grinding a decent volume of hands may be difficult in the forthcoming months.
My Intentions for May are to play quite a few donkaments. Some really good SCOOP event so with a bit of look i can hopefully sat into a few of the biggies and claim a few cashes. Ive also just bought into UKIPT Nottingham online, DTD is just too good of a poker venue to turn down. Should be an immense week.
Will be going home next weekend for the bank holiday, hopefully the weather is great and i can have a few decent nights out in the Toon.
gl at the tables all JP
