Not sure how, but I"m still hanging in there with $12683 putting me 33rd of 57. Ive had my first lucky break with my AJ rivering John Murray"s pocket sevens.

F*** me, is it really that long since I visited this site? I"ll have to admit to becoming a tad disillusioned with the game recently. The penny has dropped that after several months of trying, I just don"t consistantly make money playing cash games. Therefore, I returned to what has made the bulk of my profits since I was first introduced to the freerolls on Partypoker 6 years ago, namely single table SNGs and deepstack tournaments. Oddly enough, I"ve started to enjoy playing again and I"m making more money now that I"m no longer bashing my head against a brick wall trying to grind the microstakes cash tables. Poker is fun again, hurrah! At the moment my tournaments are mainly on Pokerstars and SNGs on Blue Square. You never know, I may even decide to play in the next online national as well

I seem to be running good. I"ve played the $5 15k guaranteed on Pokerstars twice in the last 3 days and cashed both times. On sunday I was 60th out of 4000+ players and I"ve just exited tonight in 136th from 3124 entrants. I cruised through the early stages, then things got a bit more interesting once in the money. After going card dead for a bit I shoved with A 7. My opponent called with JJ and I rivered an ace. Later came a hand which could have put me right in the hunt for the top prize. I was in the big blind with about 20xBB and was dealt QQ. UTG raised to 2.5xBB, the table big stack reraised to  9xBB and the button called. I folded fearing that one of the other players had KK or AA,the BB folded and so did the original raiser. The flop came Q high (Grrrrrrr); big stack and button got them all in and big stack revealed KK against button"s JJ. If I"d have got them in with my QQ, that pot would have put me 5th overall. Maybe I"m being to timid to actually see one of these right through to conclusion. As luck would have it, not long after I was crippled by running JJ into QQ. 2 hands later, and with only 4xBB I picked up KK and was knocked out by an opponent who called with A9 and hit his ace on the flop.

I think I have discovered a tournament designed especially for me, namely the Pokerstars saturday micro $3.30 $30000 guaranteed. The saturday midday start time is perfect as it allows enough time for friday night"s beer to no longer be an issue, its on the only day of the week when I can guarantee I won"t be distracted/disturbed and more importantly if I do run deep, I won"t have to worry about whether I will have to find out whether it really is possible to sleepwalk through a day at work. This has my name on it.
