Live V Online

The last 6 months have been fairly consistent. I've been making a good amount of money online and losing a fair bit live. The latest GUKPT was no exception to this rule. After making day 2 of a £300 side event, running KK into AA to bust, the £1500 main event was another dissapointment. My starting table was awesome with fish all over the place but once again i was unable to take advantage thanks to a horrible run of cards. I didn't flop better than middle pair for the first 3 hours but thanks to the structure i was still in good shape. I then got moved to a really tough table and continued to lose every hand i played. I eventually got it in with AJ v AK and somehow managed to win. This immense feeling of being above my starting stack was not to last however and i busted out a few hours later with 99 v JJ on a 865 board. I think the hand was fairly standard. It was certainly a nice feeling to have an overpair.

Ant Forrest and Will Brewin stayed at ours most of the week which was a lot of fun. We basically played a load of 25/50p and fifa 2010. I didn't win any money obviously but it was nice to see the team dropout boys. Will ended up cashing for £4.8K coming 14th in the main. That position really sucks but i'm sure one of us will ship a decent live score soon. On that subject i haven't cashed in a live tournament for nearly a year now. I think i've played about 25-30 which seems quite a lot but when you think about the number of hands it really isn't. I just have to mkae sure when i am playing live i'm playing my best and hope the cards turn for me.

I haven't worked out my exact profit for March but i think i made something like $3K. I jerked so much cash off on stupid things and also lost about $1K staking which sucks. The plan for April is to grind fairly hard then go to the Manchester GUKPT and win that.

I'm going Skiing tomorrow with Juliet and my sister. We're only going for 5 days but it should be fun and i'm looking forward to getting out the country.
