Hmm Cash poker sure is going well so far. I am currently sitting down £120 on the year. I have quite simply made too many mistakes. Earlier today I was in the big blind and the button raises. I am sat with £24 as I have not bothered to rebuy. I call the raise with As7s. The flop comes down a helpful
jh-7c-Ac
I check and he bets £1.20 into a pot of £2.10. I raise to £4.20 and he flats. The pot is now £10.50. The turn comes 10h and I bet £7, he calls again. The river comes 9c. I check, he shoves and it is another £12 to me into a pot of £35. I make a poor call. I should have saved £12 here. He shows me the nut flush.
I reckon I have lost at least £60 to bad play over the first three days. Yes there have been a few coolers as well, I has KK outdraw by QQ for a monster pot of £110 allin preflop and also hit a set of sixs only for my opponent to show me a set of aces. These will even themselves out but the amount of money I am currently dropping to poor play is a concern. 4 buyins down is not a good start to this year.
To mention some of the hands I won, the biggest was a pot of £55 when I get allin with QQ against K-10 preflop. Unfortunately that was the player who took it back with his QQ against my KK lol.
I also won a nice pot with a set of 10"s against top pair. Sky Poker does not let me see hand histories so I don"t know exactly what it was, I do know those are the ony two hands I have won more than £10 in though so far.
Total loss this year = £121.67
If I drop more than £200 I will drop down to the 10p/20p tables until I have made it up.

I am currently wondering if Mr Lewis can do it tonight. It would be great to see him take this one down but I think Anderson might have the edge.

currently 7/4 odds on Lewis, I personally think he can do it.

Good shout, pleased to see lewis win. He has been due for a while and after he beat Taylor earlier this year he has been in great form. I reckon he will do well in the premier league.

Total loss - £203
Should not have played tonight but did anyway and lost the best part of three buyins. This was certainly down to bad play not getting unlucky so no excuses for it. Going to stop playing (will play the final APAT league game but just that one) until I get back from Spain now.
The way the cards have run I could forgive myself for being down by about £50 but have dropped an extra £150 (5 buyins). It is hard to win five buyins *lol*. Tonight was basically a case of chasing money and trying to outplay players that I nevcer should have. I was trying to bluff in bad spots and this cost me, then I started seeing flops with poor hands (K-J UTG and that sort of thing) trying to hit big. Obviously this is never going to work. Annoying as I much prefer to do things the easy way !!!! I was probably due a bad run as I have not had one for the best part of six months but would have liked a better story to start this with. I remember a time when dropping £200 in a week would have left me in shock and never wanting to play poker again. Can"t say I am over the moon about it now mind you :-)
