London has so far been a mix of the good and the bad for me. Unfortunatley on the poker front it has been very bad indeed. The internet has still not been sorted yet and my opportunities to play online have been very limited indeed. When i have played online its been squashed into small 2-3 hour long sessions in crowded internet cafe's. My results have sucked and for some reason i've even been aware of what i'm doing wrong and not changing this stratergy (main problem is playing to fast obviously). I decided to cash $3000 out for food/drink/rent/rent boys etc and leave myself $1K to gamble with. Like the genius i am i stuck this on 2 tables of $3/$6, closed my eyes and hoped for the best; result = busto in 1 hour!! Played 2 $1200 pots and they were a lot of fun. First i got all in on a board of A Q 9 with AQ and ran face first into a total idiot with 97, 9 on the river tyvm. Next i'm all in with KK on a board of 2 4 5 10 with 2 clubs. He called my last $250 on the turn with AJ of clubs and made his flush on the river. So that was that. Think i played fine and 2 rather bad beats have left the account on a nice fat 0.
Live has been much more enjoyable, but about as profitable. Been playing the 1/2 game at the gutshot and despite making some good friends i have been running as normal . Few examples of the last session: Bought in for 200 and was up to 450 after 2 hours, had made 3 nice bluffs and managed to bust a guy for 100 with QJ V K 10 on a board of QJ8. Also won 80 with 10 9 v 10 x on a 10 6 7 9 9 board, bet on every street and the facf i had flipped 4 high the pot before after a nice 55 bluff on the end helped me get paid. At this point i was really happy with my game my reads had been right in every pot i played and i was trying to force myself to pay attention when not involved. The sad thing was this didn't last and things soon went tits up. First 5 limps in2 my bb and i check with Q 10. Flop 228 and i fire 8 into the pot of 10. 1 caller and i know he has an 8 so when the turn comes an ace i bet 16. He thinks for 30 secs then calls. The river makes 3 clubs on board but is still a bit of a blank 4. I know he is a bad player but i also know he has an 8 so i bet 40 and he calls quick with 86. My read was spot on but the bet was still a huge mistake cause the guy had been at the table for an hour and i knew he was a calling station who didn't know when to fold. This was only a small dent but it seemed to mark a change in my night. Next up was a huge hand, long story short action all over the place and i had to call 150 to win 520 total with A9 of diamonds on a board of K J 10 with 2 diamonds. Was up against KJ and Q5 of d's and misses obviously. Got the rest in with 56 of clubs on a 774 board with 2 clubs, having raised in early i put my opponent on a big pair; he had 8 10 of clubs arghhhhhh. So went bust again at the gutshot and chose not to rebuy. Intresting fact on the night was i had 11 pairs between 2's and 9's made a set 0 times. Would have made a set with 77 if i had called 45 pre flop but my opponnent had 200 total so would have been a bad call; he made a set of kings on the flop anyway LOL!!!!!!!!
Going home next weekend can't wait!!
