Hmmmmm, from the frying pan into the freezer. Was running super good for long periods tonight, including winning a $1700 pot @ 2/4 after i outdrew the nuts with a set. Then went into coolerville and was outplayed on several occasions by decent regs. 5/10 was different from how i remember it, with no decent action on most of the tables available. Had no setups or big mumma hands but did walk the second nuts into the real deal a lot. 66 into 77 on a 677 board $1000 deep was not pretty, especially when he leads. Sadly got tilted after some beats/sick spots.

Player "Runiii" (French of course) was a real pain in the a55. The guy was hitting everything on a 2/4 table and effectively tilted me after getting lucky two or three times. I ended up playing this hand this badly against him (Hand 1). I should have shut down on the turn and the river call where im screaming "i can beat a bluff or 78" is one of the worst iv made in a while. The guy was a bit of a station and this is deffo not what i should have been doing. After this and a hand where i folded AA on a 47QQQ board i decided to quit for the night, my heart had faded.

I dont think iv been getting enough sleep the past few days and im a bit stressed about money which is putting me off my game. So i doubt ill be playing tomorrow, i fancy having a beer.

Hand 1.

On the bright side i am comfortably in the lead for the BlueSQ hands raked race and fully expect to be sidling up alongside (hopefully) the Legend Wernick for the playoff. Check-raising him should be worth £500 at least. Also just finished a review of poker software for insidepoker that was quite difficult but i was really happy with the end product.
