Haven"t been on forum for a while, been dodging tournaments to grind low stakes 5c/10c cash tables on 888 in hope of building my bankroll up. In past month gone from $180 up to $300 back down to $200 and currently $250 after my $22 satellite buy in for the Scottish.
So glad I won my seat coz I"m working on Thursday night when sale goes ahead and off to the small event that is my annual pilgrimage to T In The Park for the weekend afterwards. Yep, only 4 sleeps till the music and partying begins in Balado, really can"t wait 8)
Good luck to everyone else in satellites over the next couple of days.

Sigh sigh sigh, bad couple of nights at cash tables and down to $190 now. Run really bad and lady luck failed me miserably, a couple of hands stand out in particular as being a bit on the harsh side.
:as: :2s: in BB, raised to 3* in MP, one caller in LP and I decide to see a flop...happy days qs 8s 4s. I bet out 70c, original raiser pops it up to 2.50, LP calls and i obv ship it all in. MP calls for his stack and LP folds. He flips QQ and board pairs on river FML.
Worse was to come, again in BB with :2d: :2h: and LP raises after 2 limpers and i go set mining. Happy happy happy when flop comes 4c :2s: 4h :). Same again i bet out, get raised etc etc etc he flips JJ. Another 4 on river counterfeits me FML again and again and again lol.
Just a bad run and know that it"ll swing back again if I just play my usual game so no worries. Will prob play tonight after work then a few days off poker to enjoy the wonder of T In The Park 8)

Betting out these flops is kinda gross. Not sure there is an arguement for doing it? Especially the second hand where villain will c bet so much of the time. Hands are coolers so wouldnt change the outcome but potential for missed value. Just out of interest what other hands would you be leading out with in these spots? If your doing the same with a lot of your range then I guess its better but so many people just auto raise these donk bets even at the micros.
T in the park line up looks awesome, enjoy it!

Hi Mark
On these low level cash tables I"ll lead out with just about anything, hit, miss, draw or complete air regardless of flop. By leading out I"m building the pot for myself if anyone comes along for the ride. If nobody does then so be it, take it down and move on to next hand.
Ian, bring on the rain and mud, at T In The Park it makes no difference 8)
