The tiltmonster

Since my last blog have played a couple more live sessions and am up about 500ish in total. A few funky hands here and there and my first shocking beat, basically got it in on the turn with AA on a pretty safe board, he had 5 outs and got there for a 620 pot, ouch!
Blogging the beats is no fun but blogging the hands i win is much more painless to write about. Last time i wrote about the call i made with 4th pair V busted flush. The next hand involves the same player and is arguably the sickest call i have ever seen or heard about. I limp the CO with 10 7 soooted, my buddy limps button and the guy in the bb (total gimp donk) raises 5 more. He could have anything so i call as does my buddy. Flop A 6 8 and the donk bets 10,he has about 150ish back and i'm very deep stacked so decide to make a loose call and the other guy calls to. Turn is a King and we go check, check, check. River is a queen, donk checks i think about a stab but opt to check and the button bets 30. The donk thinks 20secs and folds and its on me. After 5 seconds i announce that i think he has 75 or 97 and i'm going to call with a 10. He says 97 and i proudly table 107 for a very nice 100ish pot, very very very sick indeed.
So live poker has continued to go well. Have decided to use some of my winnings to play the main event of the london poker masters at the gutshot, 500 buy-in and 50 charge. Its a 2 day event with an excellent structure so should be a lot of fun and am looking forward to it, january 5th-6th.
Finished being staked by jambon online. Have about $1800 to play with on party which is nice, tilted very badly last night and lost 2 buy-ins at $2/4 NLH in under 10 minutes. Was really pissed off when i bubbled the sunday million on stars, took a very bad beat and would have had 120,000 chips with 15% of the field left. Instead of beating up a midget or having a wank (2 very standard ways to get off tilt) i loaded up the six max on party and the rest is history. Thankfully it was mainly profit i had been grinding out all day playing 0.5/1 PLO and NLH so not to bad. Tilt is so much fun.
