Sorry to anyone who might be reading that this hasn't been particularly interesting lately - i've been too lazy/knackered to use it as anything other than somewhere to record results. Not going to win any prizes for the most interesting blog but at least it keeps me honest with myself about results etc.

Played 2 tourneys so far today - 30$ horse - came 56/95 but didn't hit many flops especially on omaha and the hands I went with elsewhere weren't quite good enough.

125/371 in the 5$ 2nd chance on Ladbrokes - best hand I saw was JJ which was muffed by 66 - stayed in for a while but ended up chancing it with 88 and losing to 99.
The night is still young so onwards and upwards.

PLayed a 12$ 45 player turbo on stars while waiting for other games to begin - 3rd hand I get AA - my 5xBB raise is called by 10 8 - who hits the ten - 8 - Q flop and knocks me out early. Load of bollocks.

10 rebuy on laddies was going fine - i'm about 40/90 with 20 paid and get AA on the button - cutoff raises 4X BB so I raise another 4 times that - he goes all in with 88 and hits his 8. Fine if he is short stacked or huge stacked but he was about level on chips with me - even if he puts me on AK he can't be wanting a race.

PLayed the 3$ horse tourney and played fine for over 2 hours and was mid stacked and with a very good chance of making the money until I got involved with A9 when I shouldn't have playing hold em and crashed out badly. Also played 10$ QB on ladbrokes and a omaha pot limit game on stars for 8$ all to no avail.

Following the 'fuck it there's nothing else to do' bankroll management technique I bought into the GY for 40$ but put in a pretty poor performance - limped in from the SB with Q8 suited - 10/1 pot odds so no problem with the call - flop comes 887 so my pot size bets are called by one guy who hit his flush on the river leaving me with just under half my starting stack after 30 mins play. Went out shortly after - again with Q8 suited as I was looking for a quick double and calling hoping to hit a flop. Got them in on a Q high flop and my kicker wasn't good enough so that was that for a pretty unsuccessful day and a quickly decreasing bankroll just under 100$
