Not that great yesterday. Played a load of hands but ended up £13 down. Not terrible in itself obviously but there were a few hands that I was unhappy with how I played:-
First one I have AQ on the cut off and raise it up to 80p. I get one caller and the flop comes down Ac-8h-6h. It checks to me and I obviously think I have the best hand but there are a few draws out so I bet £1.25 into the pot and get min raised. This is a draw as often as not and he could also have a worse ace. I raise it up to £7 and he shoves. It"s about £11 more to me. Going back over the hand thedraw is not unlikely and it is starting to look a lot like a set. There are weaker aces in his range but I am not sure I have the odds against his range here realistically. I call and he shows AK. I possibly lose at least £11 that I don"t need to here, getting all in with AQ on this flop is not really very good.
I later got 10-10 in a blind on blind situation. I raise it up to 80p and get a caller. The flop comes J-7-2 and I bet out and get called. The turn is a 5 so I bet again and get called. The river is a 3 and I check it to him expecting him to check any jack here. He bets ouit £5 which does not make sense to me that the time. I call and he shows J-8. Guilty of overthinking the hand here.
So that is at least £16 that I lose that I should not have, this is actually not that bad considering the amount of hands I played but still annoying. I don"t like not being able to use Poker Tracker to go through my hands and look back over them. I would like to know what my EV was yesterday as I feel as though I was playing a +EV game but got a bit unlucky a few times.
Will take a day off online poker today, might go and play live later.
Online cash for 2011 is now a total loss of £56.42

Swansea is full of football fans, the welsh derby finished with Cardiif beating Swansea 1-0 FML.
Neither of these sides have ever done the double but after the win at Cardiff City Stadium ealier this year along with Cardiffs form this season (inconsistent) I was quite confident of a Swansea win. I don"t actually support Swansea, I just live here but it would be good to have team like Chelsea and Arsenal visiting next year (and of course would probably mean no promotion for Cardiff). Swansea should make the play offs and a play off final Vs Cardiff would be interesting.
Currently watching Chelsea Vs Liverpool. A win for Chelsea here would give the table a whole different look after Aresnal and Man Utd slipped up yesterday.

Sigh.
OK, I just got back from the casino, didn"t go so well and I played like an idiot. To be honest I did not even feel like going tonight but went anyway.
One of my first hands I get it all in wth pocket jacks and lose to AQ. So lose a buyin. I then manage to get it back when I get an overpair to a 7 high flop and his straight draw misses. So then I was slightly up. So then I decide it is time to give these live donks a lesson in poker and show then how they do not belong on the same table as me. Sure enough next hand, along comes J-10. OK I think I will just outplay the table here. I call a raise and the flop comes down 2-2-J. Oh good. The original raiser makes a pot sized bet, somewhere in my barin and alrm bell rings but I turn it off, I am going to out play him. I make a raise and he calls. the turn is something that does not change anything and he shoves I call, he has QQ. That hand costs me over £100. I end up £167 down, There was no excuse to be down at all in that game.
I am pretty disappointed with myself but probably not as much as I should be. Driving back, I was unhappy but my confidence is just about still there. I am not sure why, as I have not been playing well at all since about mid November and if it continues, at some time I think I have to accept I am probably not the player I currently think I am, although those thoughts are starting to enter my head, I am not prepared to accept it yet. From about May to November last year I was playing good poker, I must still know how. The worrying thing for me is that I am all too often doing the wrong thing when I know it is wrong, but doing it anyway. I can"t go and post on a forum about how to stop doing this as it is very simple, you should just be making the right move. I know this, I just keep not doing it.
