Got a whole day off work so woke up late with a hangover and lay around watching Luton v Liverpool in the FA cup instead of immediately playing poker. I grew up only 10 miles from Luton and although i'm an Ipswich fan (we got dumped out yesterday by the footballing equivalent of a bad beat from the referee who inexplicably sent a player off) the first game I ever went to was Luton - Coventry on boxing day 1985 or 1986 so I always follow their results. Great game and Luton deserved more than a draw.

played a couple of stt's - no luck on Laddies - down to a miserable 50$ roll there now - but won one on stars for 45$.

Was looking forward to the sunday hundred grand but went out after about 50 minutes - had KK in the BB and called a 4xBB raise - flop JK9 with 2 clubs. Lovely jubbly. He has position so I check and call a big bet pretending to be fishing for the flush. 2 on the turn and this time he doesn't bet. River brings a ten and he's hit his straight with AQ and it's goodnight manic. I know I was sort of slow playing it trying to be greedy and get everything out of him - could have won the pot by raising his bet after the flop or by betting on the turn but to be honest I think i'd do the same every time.

Played the Laddies 10 rebuy as a freezout but went out about 70/200 - getting very low on there now and the stt's are beckoning again. Came 32/352 of Mansion in a 10 freeze for 26$ as well.

Fuck me i'm 2/555 in a 50$ freeze on stars - shouldn't have played it but was annoyed at going out of the 100k so early. had AA about 4 times and getting very lucky and hitting everything. Just made a disciplined fold with AK though - don't want to risk half my stack when i'm so far ahead - turned out I would have lost. Just won a race with AK v QQ - K on river - if i'd lost i'd have been left with 10000 chips - blinds 400/800 so wouldn't have been a disaster. Can't see how I could fold though - unless I just fold everything and get into the money. Keeps me 10/239 now - 180 paid. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM - up to 5/117 calling a 3 way all in with QQ - would still have had about 30 BB's if I lost so was worth the risk. Came up against tens and sixes and it held.

KK in the cut off - I have 96k with blinds at 1000/2000 so raise to 10000 - button goes all in - the only guy at the table with more chips - he shows QQ and a Q on the flop and just to rub it in there's one on the turn.

SIck sick game sometimes - as if we didn't already know.
