Anyone who knows me will know that i'm a total retard with all modern technology, from computers to microwaves and even anything that needs batteries. Despite this i've found a way to post hand links at last so i'm very happy with this development.
These are all from $0.5/1 and some will make you think that it may actually be impossible to lose at this level as long as you avoid tilt and maintain 35 buy ins, two things i seem to struggle with especially when running bad.
This first one is a great example of the kind of spots that i've been getting my money in with over the last few weeks:

Was so good to finally win one of these. My opponent overvalues his hand and is lucky to find that he is a slight dog and not in the shit.
Another donkey opponent here, actually much more so. He had been playing like a dick since he sat down and i like the fact that i recognised this and pushed back on the flop instead of trying to slow play and then have to slow down and maybe even fold when the river hits:

In retrospect i think i played the next hand kinda sucky and any advice would be great:

Looking at tingles hand we could have got it all in on the flop but there is no way of me to know how hard he hit the flop. I would bet this flop 90% of the time against 2 opponents but i really wanted to get paid off by letting them catch up. The 1 thing i did like however was my flat call on the turn, i recognised that there was a good chance tingles had a draw and was actually yelling heart at the board. When it hit i knew i could make a fairly big raise cause i was sure that the way i played the hand it would be very hard to lay down a flush in his spot.
Last 1 is why i love poker, maybe Ant has been right all this time and pocket 2's are actually the best starting hand:

Still managed to lose $200 to day overall. Played a lot of STT's and they went bad. Big mistake playing a couple of $100+9 games cause it was a stupid gamble and its no fun when it hurts getting busted. Had AQ V KQ in one of these all in on a Queen high board with 5 people left and when the king hit the turn i reacted in a way that was not pretty, least it shows i care i guess.
Off topic its coming up to 6.30am and we leave for Oxford (me, Kieran and Nathan) at 8am. I haven't gone to sleep yet properly but i got 5 hours from 8pm to 1am. This isn't healthy obviously and on a poker front its gonna be a pretty tough field and being fucked on red bull and coffee is not gonna help. The plan is pretty simple with regards to the tourney; we get 2K for each £20 and the blinds start at 25/50 and go up every 30 mins. After the rebuy the blinds will be 100/200 i guess so by this point i want 10K, i'm prepared to gamble for this and being on a table with people that are willing to rebuy will help a lot. Worst case scenario i take the add-on and have a minimum of 4,000 chips so i have a shot whatever happens in the first hour. Overall i know even on a bad day i'm easily in the top 10% of the field and i certainly have the game to go very deep. This will be the biggest live tourney i have ever played as far as numbers go and no offence to Kieran and Nathan but i think they will be out of their depth, hence why i'm gonna try and swap 5-20% of myself with jambon and a few of his mates from warwick who all seem to be very solid players, That way i'm still involved when i bust first hand after the rebuy lol, hope the side games are juicy...........
Bankroll:$4,100 (this trend will end soon i hope)
