Going to give poker a miss for a while - probably only a few hours ;-) as my game's getting a bit stale and even when I do manage to play well i'm getting outdrawn.
Played the 2nd superstars semi just now and having built up a reasonable stack I was pleased to get some chips in the middle with pocket tens on a 9 high flop by calling an all in from a desperate short stack who showed AJ and hit the J on the turn.
Was still in good shape and feeling confident until it was folded round to me in the SB where i put in a 4xBB raise with AJ - the BB (another short stack) put me all in and although I thought I might be behind I definitely had the odds to call. BB showed K5 so i was reasonably happy when the J came on the flop only for him to hit his K on the turn.
Now short stacked myself I missed the opportunity to get some chips when I had J8 in the BB and there were two 8s on the flop. Unfortunately my screen was frozen as Ladbrokes software clearly lacks the ability to work properly and I was powerless to act. Not that Ladbrokes give a toss.
Got them all in when the SB flat called (I had K2 in the BB) and a K appeared on the flop only for him to show pocket aces. The only good thing about the whole game was that i played well. I'll take this opportunity to thank Richlizard for organising the competition which was great to play in despite the disappointing finish.
A friend of mine's coming over from England for the weekend which is pretty good timing as I definitely need a break from poker although i'll still be playing the Sunday tourney on pokerstars and the 150k gtd on Mansion thanks to their kind offer of a free entry.
So gl all and happy pokering.
