Toe'd in the Hole
rubertoe:
I haven"t played as much poker on my week off as i would have hoped but that is probably a good thing after - i busted too tourneys in a row on Sunday (including the League game) with AK against AA & KK - but what can you do - the KK hand that i lost against i should have got away from and one thing i have learned is that i wont be getting it all in pre (for the most Part) with AK and i certainly will be thinking about calling all in shoves with it!
But like i have said i have really played much poker - i have been mainly decorating - which is OK as it keeps the missus happy - and lets me get away with a bit more in the long run - but i have played a few MTTs, Cashed fairly deep in an Omaha tourney 23rd of c900 and i have also had two FTs and a 12th in the last 3 NLH MTTs - just looking for that top spot to get me going again!
Other than that - i plan to play the Bsq 6kgtd tonight and a few others that suit if get knocked out early doors! and i have a Home game tomorrow!
It kicks of at 5pm with a £10 Sng 3k chips and a medium 20 minute clock.. i plan to take a few photos to post on here - so people will be able to get an idea of the set up!
The SNG will be followed by a curry and a cash game with 10p/20p blinds. there normally ends up with excess of £300 on the table by the end of the night!!
I am looking forward to this as i need the practice for the WCOAP... and the assault on Vegas for mine and the missus 30ths!!

Make that 3 FT"s/4!!
Anyway - the Home Game in the end we only had 6 as someone (my sister) decided to have a BBQ and the Casual players went to that. but i think that a blast was had by all!
We started with a £10 sng - which saw me exit first - Blinds 100/200 - I have about 2.3k from a 3k start-stack and am in the Cutoff - Player to my right- UTG +1 raises to 525 - he has played virtually every pot and is intelligently aggressive - anyway - i look down and See the AK of Hearts (see the previous post) and i ship it over the Top - he calls suspecting i have a biggish pair/AQ+ (i am Quite tight you see) and shows a pair of Jacks! board no help and that is me gone!
Anyway the Missus went on to claim 2nd - and no word of a lie - we have probably played 25-30 home game Sngs and she has an In the cash percentage of about 95%, i cant honestly remember the last time she didn"t cash. all she needs to do is pluck up the courage to play a live event!!! maybe I"ll just buy her in to the next APAT event!!
After the Sng we played Cash NLH - but i find that this get a bit monotonous so i suggested that we play a bit of PLO as well - with the Dealer making the choice! and on the first Hand 3players got it all in on the Flop - there was some hefty pre flop betting - two players had Aces - one of them was double suited and the other had Q-10 with his -
Anyway after sorting out all of the Monies in the middle - The missus - playing her first hand of PLO wins a £60 pot with a straight and doesn"t even realise she has it!!! - but it certainly made for a more interesting night and i think that PLO will once again be added to the games in the future

I"m Staying Away from NLH for the next few days .....
Played a bit of PLO last night and ended up 2x Buyins - My first profit for some time (i have been playing NLH MTTs very unsuccessfully)!!! So will stay on this path for a while longer....
rubertoe:
Well the turning a profit at PLO didn"t last too long - after 3 days (only a few hrs really) of play and after at a point being 6x buy ins up i am now a break even player again - oh dear - my terrible run continues!!
But on a more positive note - i did have a fairly deep run in one of my regular MT Ts but just missed out on the final table when i busted in 13/367 when i open shoved with 10"s and was called by the big stack with AQ which obviously won as i couldn"t win a flip to save my life at the moment!
But Variance being what it is i am sure i can come out of the other side and start to get my game back!
