Didn't play much yesterday - just a 3$ rebuy on laddies whereI went out 13/82 with ten paid - needed a double as the nlinds were going up quickly and we were down to 2 tables and playing 6 handed - shoved with Q10 or something similar from the SB and my timing was impeccable as the BB had AA. Played 2 5$ stt's and cashed in the ten pays five equal payout and won the other one for 25$.

Went out 18/20 in the forum game when I saw a cheap flop with QJ - two queens came up on the flop but the other guy also had one with a better kicker.

Then went to the pub - bumped into an old friend who works as a 'lady of negotiable affection' and a long night's partying ensued involving jacuzzis and steam rooms at one point!! I can't seem to ever have a normal night out - just as well I stay in mostly these days.

Feeling somewhat peaky after last night's shenanigans so taking it easy. Only played the 3 rebuy on Ladbrokes - tripled up in the first hour with JJ hitting a set then was pleased to see AA in front of me just after the break. UTG had flat called then my raise was called by another guy who had very few chips. The original caller raised so we ended up all in pre flop. Low stack had AQ and the UTG bellend had Q10 suited. Of course he hit his flush and instead of tripling up and getting a good foothold in the tourney I went out about 250/450 odd.

Playing a 3$ HORSE tourney on pokerstars - just felt like a change - never played it before but had a quick read of the rules of each game and some careful play sees me currently sitting 76/125 from 384 runners so must be doing something right. Finished 22nd - only gets me $8.07 but pretty chuffed for a first effort. Took a chance with 23J playing Razz against one other guy in the hand and his hand came out best. Or worst if you want to look at it that way.

Now playing the 5$ 2nd chance on ladbrokes. Not a bad effort - 21/526 for 22$ from 11$ entry lol - not a great profit but still quite pleased - was average stacked with 50 left but got nothing playable - stole the blinds with a pair of fives then was getting really low and my AK all in from UTG ran into JQ suited which flopped a straight - can't really fault his call as he had the chips and odds to make it and I was desperate enough to push with a lot less than AK.

Playing another 3$ HORSE tourney on stars - 504 runners and i'm sitting 32/143 with 72 paid - just donked off a few chips on the limit stud hi lo - better read up on tactics for that. Out in 82nd - messed up the omaha bit the third time round - but unnerved as there's a house on fire in my street and although I phoned the fire brigade there's a lot of screaming going on. It's one of those squats with a lot of eastern European immigrants living in it - hope there's no casualties but not looking good. Completely freaked out now.
