I have changed the name of this blog as I found the old name really gay for a while already and I most likely change the appearance a little bit as well. Not sure if I have enough clue how to make things look pretty. I'll give it a shot.
2010 is tough so far:
Pot 1:EP2: Raise 6
MP1: Call
MP2: Call
MP3: Call
Button: Call
SB: Call
Hero (BB) has 99 and makes it 46
Folds to MP3 who shoves 202 in total
Button calls 70
Hero thinks "MP 3 is a aggressive good player, he knows I am capable of squeezing light, he doesn't overcall TT+, I am 100% sure I am at least flipping, If I am flipping, there is a fair chance that MP3 and Button are blocking each others outs"
156 to call into 342
Hero: calls
Board: 87T 2 Q
MP3 shows: AQo
Buttons shows: Q2s
Hero tilts... "For fucks sake how can I never win one of the big flips. Every time I win a flip lately it's for 30 fucking quid and when I lose it's for a freaking stack or more. Why am I actually flipping so often for stacks lately?"
Hero: Quickly orders a lager and a Baieys to de-tilt.
Hero: Steam-o-meter returns from 130% to 40%
Pot 2: Pot 2:
MP 3: raises to 10
Hero (CO): calls with JTo
Button: calls
SB: calls
BB: calls
Board: 983 two diamonds
SB: checks
BB: checks
MP3: bets 10
Hero thinks: "OESD + Overs...hm... overs might not be good here, they complete too many other draws. MP3s bet is soooo weak. I want initiative in this pot and hopefully get it HU or be able to take a free card on the turn."
Hero: Raises to 25
Button: folds
SB: calls
BB: calls
MP3: calls
Pot size: 150
Hero thinks: "Oh well...7 of spades, 7 of spades, 7 of spades - one time!"
Turn: 7 of hearts
Hero thinks: "Uh yeah, the bingo card! Ship, ship, ship, Belly dance...I've been looking for freedom...Bratwurst and Sauerkraut FTW!, I am Rick James bitch and I got the fucking nuts!"
SB: checks
BB: checks
MP3: checks
Hero: bets 75
SB: folds
BB: calls
MP3: folds
Hero thinks: "no diamond, no diamond - please. One time"
River: 8c
Hero: Rolls eyes
BB: Bets All in
Hero: has 130 behind and gets sick in the stomach.
Hero thinks: "I know he is the worst player at the table. What can he have here that I've got beat? A8, K8, Missed flush, 56. FML"
130 to call into 430
Hero: calls
BB: shows 77
Hero: stands up, pukes in the dealers face and mumbles "that's so sick, that's so fucking sick. How does he...oh...fucking hell is that sick!"
Well the two stories of the big pots yesterday. I am little annoyed because winning the second one would have put me into the profit zone for 2010 and that would have been amazing after a horrible 2010 poker year so far. Now I am stuck ca. 620 quid again. Considering I was down 1500 GBP about 3 weeks ago I can probably live with that.
Anyway, my mindset is right again and I will get into profit for 2010 eventually.
It is going to be difficult to get out of make up by May as I planned. I am already way behind for all my other goals for this year.
To tell another bad beat story, I got on my scale about a week ago and it showed 100kg for the first time again since last April. So since June 2009 when I had my lowest point in weight I have regained 10kg. Now my boxers are starting to get too tight again.
Means I am on a diet. Again.
Right there is a life update due on this blog which I hope to get in this weekend. Thanks to Paul "147_Star - HSV ein Leben lang" and his encouraging e-mail I got reminded that some people actually read what I write here. So I will return to updating more regularly. The lack of updates just came from the harsh downswing I endured but I have learned to cope with it.
Next topics I need to update you about:
- Wedding
- New Apartment
- Gibraltar Amateur Drama Association
- Small change of job
