Bad beats, coolers and (hopefully) occasional success

Hi guys,

Am not one for blogging too heavily (tried and failed that before)!

I am currently between jobs, and have taken the opportunity to get out to the US and Canada for just under 6 weeks. Road tripped around with a friend for 3 weeks, and have now just got to Atlantic City for the WSOP circuit festival (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/festival.php?a=r&n=9286) - coincidental scheduling ;)

If anyone wants to follow my progress, I"ll be posting very occasional updates on www.twitter.com/dwh103

Am playing the following, so wish me luck!

03/12 - $345 NLHE
05/12 - $345 NLHE
07/12 - $345 NLHE 6-max
08/12 - $345 LO8
10/12 - $1,600 NLHE Main Event (will be updates on Pokernews for this one)

All that with the Carl Froch v Andre Ward fight at the Boardwalk on 17/12 - I hope it"s going to be an epic trip!

Thanks man :)

First day went really bad. Put that one down to rust. Sat at what I thought was a good table until two decent LAGs sat down to my left. Got a few chips off one of them betting flop, turn and over betting the river with TPTK in level 1 and got to 12.5k

Downhill from there. Misread the other decent player and ended up putting him on mostly air, making a big call only to be shown top two. Oops. Unfortunately this was in level 4 so cost me far more than the good bet sizing earlier.

About 7k of my starting 10k at the break. Got moved to another table which was a little better but never had the stack to open up and take advantage. Ran AJ into QQ to lose another 2.5k. Committed myself with 66 pre and stop and go"d on a 533 flop into QQ with my last 17BBs.

Did see Aces, but only after I"d dropped to 3k. Tried to "tilt" shove over an open from a TAG and got No further action. Sod all else in the way of playable hands/spots.

All in all a pile of ****e. Didn"t play great, missed a couple of bluff and iso spots. But given my table position passing these up wasn"t too terrible. Players are largely poor with a smattering of decent aggros. A standard TAG game is definitely profitable so I hope to see an upturn soon! Will hope to have position on the good players next time :)
