Keeping Warm in Winter

OK, just played a session and made £16 back. Again unsure what I could have done different. Might have mad a bad call in one hand when I had JJ. I raise it up to £1 after one limper and get a call and see a flop of 2-K-9, rainbow. He check to me. I c-bet £1.50, my opponent calls. I the turn was a blank and he checks. I also check. The river is another blank, no flush is on, not real str8 draws.
He bets out £3 and I call, it kinda looked like a King all the way through so I probably lost $3 I didn"t need to there. I have not really been leaking much money though. Will be having another crack later of course. Still losing £34 today.

Well managed to retrieve the situation up to a point. I ended the day a fiver down which I can live with after being £50 down earlier today. I have reviewed the sessions - played about 5 hours worth of 6 tables over the day.
My first mistake was an AQ hand. I raised from the cur off to 80p and the button made it £2, he was playing about £9 and I had a full stack. I had already had to fold a hand to him not too much earlier and so I shoved my AQ. He called with AA. This is a poor play. The raise is OK and I can call the 3-bet although it would be better to fold. Basically lost £8 I did not need to lose. on this hand.
This was about the only hand all day which was terrible though. I had a few coolers. My flopped straight lost to top two pair when it made a full house (Omaha, so not as bad as it sounds). I had set under set and also had the AA hand I mention above.
Will continue with this blog for the month and see how it goes. I could play some hands on 888.com as I am not liking not being able to post hand histories.
Does anybody know if 888.com is much tougher than Sky in terms of competition?

Fell asleep so forgot to update yesterday. Basically I won £45 online in a very uninteresting day. I wish that all of my poker days went like that. I did lose a buyin getting AA AIPF against QQ, however I won the money back off the same guy in a similar situation. I made a set Vs his overpair so it didn"t make a huge difference. I am £40 up this month though. I did not play today as only got back from work at 8pm and needed to go to Tesco.
I played the APAT Div 2 yesterday and ended up 11th I could have folded into a min cash but winning $13 didn"t excite me that much so when I shoved my J-7 into A-8 I was not to disappointed.
I played two small bounty hunters on Sky. I have no idea of the correct way to play these I never get any heads. I min cashed in them both and ended up losing money (only about £2 but still). Also missed the Chezger league today (sorry Ger and Tighty) but will probably play the Blonde Poker version tomorrow. Will probably not play a worthwhile online session now until Thursday as I am going to be working until 7pm most of the week but will do a good session that day with updates.
I sense a good run coming on the pokerz. I do hope I am correct since November I haven"t really been firing and even though I am nearly £700 up over most types of poker this year (Cash and tourneys, live and online) I feel I am not really doing myself justice. The breakdown is this fwiw (I did play one home game that is not included but made £55 in it)
Live Cash = +£231 (5 sessions)
Online Cash = +£374 (disappointing to say the least)
Online Tournaments = -£52
Live Tournaments = +£125 (4 events inc Home Nations)

Had a degen moment last night. Was playing in the sat for SPT Cardiff and found a bad player on my table who was also playing 50p/£1 PLO so decided I was going to take a shot on that table. It was all going well and I was up to about £120 when I got it allin with A-A-J-3 with one of my aces sooted. I lost the hand though (as can easily happen in PLO). So lost myself £100 there. Not worried about it as I was definitely a favorite in the game even though its above the limit I should be playing as I am not really comfortable at that limit online.
Anyway will go back to playing 10p/20p and 15p/30p today as I just feel much happier at that limit even though in reaity the standard is not very different.

Playing a bit at the moment.
Was up about a buyin, then just had this hand. I raised to 80p with KJ from the cut off and get called by both blinds. The flop comes down K-A-J with two diamonds. The pot is £2.40 so I bet out £2. The SB folded but the BB raises to £6.50.
After thinking for a while I shoved and got called by AK. THe shove might have been bad there as it is quite unlikely I get called by worse as a raggy ace probably folds to that.
EDIT - Couldn"t get it going properly this morning, down £12. Will try again later.
