NORFOLK 'N' GOOD

Another Good Run....
Just had another deep(ish) run in a PokerStars event:
Finished 311/12612.
I won 4.45x my original buy-in.
Oh, nearly forgot to mention it was a whopping $0.55 buy-in? :P

Not Another Min Cash!
So, I played Saturday"s "Big $4.40" and ran pretty good.
My first boost of chips came when my 88 v AJ v AK held up.
A bit later I called a raise with 77 against another big stack. I flopped a set, he paired the river, I got paid.
At one point I was aprox 40/3900ish.
Then I had three run-ins with the same player who was constantly making bad calls but sometimes getting lucky. And, according to O.P.R. he is a massively losing player:
AK v JJ: I hit a K on the flop, he rivered a flush.
88 v QT: He hit a T.
And he eventually knocked me out with:
JJ v KQ: The flop came QQx to give him a set.
I finished 896/9326 for $8.57
Maybe one day soon I will get my big win?!?!

Omaha HL Novice
Decided to break away from the usual Hold-Em tournaments tonight and entered the MM-42, $5.50 Omaha HiLo on PokerStars.
I know how to play Omaha HL. Well, what I mean by that is I can work out what the best hand is at given points in a hand! I played fairly loose early on, got some chips, then gave them away and eventually won some back!
I finished 1209/6215 which wasn"t in the money but at least a $5.50 loss makes it a cheap night!
I did have a PokerStars Pro (Goral) on my table who played very few hands (about twelve in two hours) but he had a good stack of chips by the time I was out! However, another player was playing a lot more hands and getting a lot more chips so I"m still not sure whether tight or loose is the best way forward?!?!
Maybe I"ll play it again............. In about three months! :P

Sometimes you run good...... Sometimes you don"t!!!!!
I was left short stacked after a horrible beat then had this when on the DB. It was folded round to me.

*** BEWARE - TILT POST ***
I don"t often rage against the cards that are dealt but of late I seem to be getting the worst of it!
In the Online League I"m pretty confident that I have not gone out of one game from being behind!
Tonight"s exit was AA v TT with a T on the flop!
Ok. Fine... No need to panic I"m running pretty good in one of the SCOOP events, now I can concentrate on that. Right?
Sitting 806/12089 with about 41K I get 55 and run into JJ but manage to only lose about 9K.
Hold on all is fine my KJ has hit a J7x flop. An easy call against a short stack shove who has a 7, then comes the 7 on the turn!
The last hand I had AT sooted, I raise and get a call..... AKx flop, I"m all-in, K9 calls..... 9 on the turn!!
RANT OVER!!
