Nearly the BIGGY!!!

Been reading a few other blogs for inspiration/help or just a laugh but its sad to see people who are getting the rough end of it,i just hope they get the breaks they deserve.
It was back to basics for me this evening,two huge $5 stt's,top 5 places all get equal $10 each blah,blah! The 1st was relatively easy allthough i was lucky on 1 very big hand..... i had Jc10c (a hand i realy like!) 1st to act i raised to 150 (blinds only 15-30) only 1 person left to act who raised to 300,we both had rougly the same 2k left so this was an easy call,the flop comes AcKc7d!! for the 1st time in my fledgling time i could make the BIGGY!!!! Not wanting to scare matey off i bet 200 and he insta called AI, now i'd like to find any one who wouldn't call like lightning with that because i nearly punched a big hole in the keyboard!! Matey shows AA for the set and i hope for the 9c!! the turn is red but the river is 3c,i won the hand but was dissapointed!!! so close to my 1st royal,o well,another time!! Matey typed FFS as i'd rivered him but thats the way sometimes & for the last 2 weeks ive been losing to some wicked beats & doing my conkers so ul pal,get over it!! The 2nd game was fucking painfull!! i cashed for $10 but hated the way it played,4 or 5 players took so long over every decision it just dragged on & on,luckily i doubled up fairly early because we got to 200/400 and still had 7 left,when you only start with 1500 & the blinds go up every 10 mins time is of the essence,by all means take it slow at 10/20 but not all night!! still,thats there problem,hope i play them again but please speed up a bit!!! gl all....laterz

Fiddlers elbow!

Not much poker over the weekend,i played 2x $1o stt's on friday and cashed them both (finish in the top 5 for double the buy in),then did the same on sat night.My problems occured when ive been dabbling in the cash games, last week i managed to spunk at least $80,some by playing like a moron but a lot of this is being very unlucky,i lost 2 buy ins having sets crushed by flushes,i got it all in miles ahead only for matey to make his flush on the river.....twice!!!! i guess it was the old 'implied odds bs'that made them both call when days behind!! Until i recover a bit i will be staying on the stt's and low buy in mtt's on which i have improved 100% (in my humble opinion!) gl all...laterz
