Keeping Warm in Winter

Cash session this morning did not go to plan with a $40.51 loss over just over 400 hands. Played KK badly as shown below (I am now $20 down with this hand over the last 10K hands but that is partly my own fault). I should probably just flat call the raise here but I probably end up getting it in anyway, maybe would fold to a really good turn bet. I only had 4 hands on the player at that point so no reads.

Was going to go to the football today, went to the car to drive to Newport, window cracked somehow *lol* great. Sorted that anyway without to many problems, but now can"t be bothered to drive over to Newport as I would miss the game anyway and don"t really feel like going out tonight. Guess I will play some more pokers instead. Tournaments to play today (will add to them as I see fit). Also will have a go at qualifying for the 10th Anniversary Million tomorrow.
Pokerstars Sunday Million Qualifier @ 17:00,m it"s a freeroll (with password) that gives three seats so not too bad
Pokerstars Big $11 (50K Gtd) @ 7pm AK into AA probably should have got away from it though
Pokerstars Silverstar $30,000 VIP freeroll @ 7:30pm Cash for $21
Pokerstars UK and Ireland Sunday $10 Million Freeroll sat @ 7:45pm (may as well if I am say here playing poker anyway) it is an open freeroll and only gives one seat lol
180 Manner $4.50 #1 Min Cash for $8.75
180 Manner $4.50 #2
Pokerstars $1R NL Omaha (whatever that is) Cashed for $19.43 ($7 spent)
Total cash prizes tonight = $49.18
Total Cash buyin = $16.10
Total FPP buyin = 800 FPP
Tournament profit = $33.08

***TILTED POST WARNING***
OK, it is fair to say I have had better days :-)
Managed to burn through $125 trying to qualify for the Sunday Million, should probably have just bought in. Anyway thought I won a seat in this rebuy thing where I thought the top 9 got a seat. I am not sure why I thought this I am sure I read it in the lobby but was playing different ones at the same time. Anyway thinking I had qualified I went out.
Having come home to play the thing and some other tournaments I find out that I actually didn"t have a seat (after sorting through some various hand histories and tournament lobbies). Obviously the best thing to do in this situation is play cash and go on tilt. Lucky I was only playing 5c/10c as I managed to tilt my way through 4 Buyin"s fairly quickly on PLO (in 275 hands). The first one was not my fault to be fair.
I clearly should have just turned the PC off and gone and done something else.
Really not happy with myself for this I know much better.

Oops. You should have stayed at Les Croups and railed me. You could have also played the side event there, Quite a few of them had never played Omaha before.

OK so it appears to be Christmas again here in Swansea.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj3m1hkWCIY (mods delete that if its not allowed, APAT's kinda a respectable forum) **DO NOT CLICK ON THIS IF THERE ARE CHILDREN PRESENT - SERIOUSLY **
So it"s time for peace and goodwill to all men etc etc. Nah run out of goodwill this year, I will get a new lot come new years day and be back to normal. Will lose the negative slant and everything :-)
The Rodders player and community person of the year award goes to.....
Richard "Curlarge" Baker........ for being super duper consistent during APAT this year with more day twos and deep runs than John Murray has cashes at APAT events (well not quite but he was good). He also got some really good results elsewhere. He was also responsible for sorting out the deal we got for the hotel in Vegas and helped sort a venue for the event. As well as playing every event in season five. He doesn"t get a prize or anything but at least I mentioned him in the thread so he kinda like famous now.
The other good thing about Christmas is we can all set poker goals. Like most new year resolution they will be forgotten by about 15th January but we get to set them. I of course will rise above most and keep to mine. I will post them before the end of the year.
Next year I am going to keep this as up to date as I can, it fell apart last year as at the start of the year I had ideas way above my station in the poker world, the game spent a whole year reminding me that I"m still a fish *lol*.
So what would people like to see in the blog next year. I will try and keep monthly profit and loss records for online cash and online tournaments. I will post "interesting" hands from cash sessions from both PLO games and NLHE and lins to hands I think I could have played differently on the PHA board. Anything else people would be interested to see?
*********************************************************************************************
OK I will make one part of a post slightly positive.
The good thing about APAT is you meet lot"s of cool and interesting people, below is a list of people I have met this year. In some cases I kind of knew them before but they were just there and I never really took any notice of them, I am pleased to say I got to meet them properly this past year.
Stuart Ward, Dan Owston, Grant Speirs, JP Round, Steve Bayliff, Max the barman, Craig & Beth MacInnes, James Barber, Mark Gregory (sort of), George Bedi, Michelle Gascoine, Nellie Gascoine, Sharon Roberts, Matt McKinlay, Paul Pitchford, Warren Jones, Will Young, Steve Harrison, Dylan Herbert, Rudders, Mary Martin, Glen Lammings, Don Roberts, Don Logan, Brian Harland.
I reckon about four of that lot are likely to actually read this *lol*
