Pretty tough week

Firstly SCOOP was a massive anti-climax. Didn't make it past round 1 in any of the HU comps. I was a little unlucky with my draws getting a 5/10 6max cash reg in the $2600 and a 10/20 6max cash reg in the $260. Both matches lasted about 90minutes, i didn't play particularly well in either match although i was card dead which can sometimes make you try and force the issue to much in this type of format. I also played the $1k ME and the $109, busted the $109 fairly early flatting AA off a 25bb stack and getting it in badly vs AK on a KKx T board :P. the $1k i was doing well until i lost 77 to 33 AIPF and JQss vs K9o on a K67ss Tx board was my downfall hand. I just OPR'd my figures on stars and i haven't cashed in 21 mtt;s since i won the $109r 6max, pretty incredible achievement imo. Its abit worrying before Vegas but i guess live MTT's will be a lot different, or at least i hope!

Cash games online haven't gone great, dropped about $5k this week so im only $5k ahead for the month which is rather poor. Not running well but also playing sub-par. I think post SCOOP the games might not be so good so i'll probs only play a little HU between now and Monday(Vegas!). Had a good session at the Vic last week made around £3500. Made a pretty big call with 88 as the PFR calling a raise, turn + river barrel for nearly a $4k pot with 88 on a 735ss 4x Qh board. Think i might put a short session in later today aswell.

Outside of poker ive slowly but surely being trying to get things ready for Vegas. Bit of a pain in the ass doing all the bank wire/money xchange stuff but i guess its got to be done. A welcome piece of news was winning the fantasy football league i entered with a few mates which netted me around $1k. The last day of the season was epic, im glad Wolves stayed up and im glad for Martinez aswell as he seems a decent fella albeit at a shit club. Like most disappointed to see Blackpool go down which is testament to how well Holloway did with the resources available.

Yesterday i went to the opticians for an eye test, turns out i have a stigma (fairly common) and need glasses which i should get later 2day/2moro. Will probably start winning since i will be able to tell the suits of the cards! Funny how after i get told and have the test i suddenly realise how bad my eye sight is!
