Drowned at the river..............

What a sick sick day........

Played very little online yesterday - just the $500 GTD $10 on Ladbrokes and while I did final table again , there was to be no first place. We're down to 5 players from 76 and the short stack is all in with me and a f**kin donkey still in the pot . Then the idiot decides to bet the pot on the flop and turn where I eventually give it up only to see Ms. shorty treble up when I would have put her out - why do these fekin idiots do it ? Anyway I manage to run my JJ into her QQ a few hands later and i'm out 5th , this however is not where the sickness lies.........

I get talking to Gareth..............a Badbeat trader and we decide we should met up for a few beers in Belfast at 6 and then head down to Bangor for the £20 £20 £20 game.

Good craic is had in the bar and with high spirits we jump in the cab and make our way to the game. The first hour is spent with me playing very loose with my intial 6k stack and I manage to lose it and rebuy for another 18k just before the break. Brandy fortified coffees are the order of the day before we resume and I get moved to what the players tell me is the "donkey" table - named so because of a player I shall call "GeorgetheKok".

I pad my stack to around 30k when I look down to see KK with blinds at 800/1500 and pop it up to 6k. "GeorgetheKok" likes his hand and we see a tasty looking Q57 rainbow flop which he duly pushes all in to. I snap call and he flips over 68 offsuit...........(YES :S) and the beautiful 9 on the river makes his straight. Now I don't often get mad at the table but I almost launch my 30k stack at him across the table and make my way outside for some fresh air(and coffee....).

Gareth busts out shortly after with AJ v AK......flop A high with a lovely Jack hitting the turn and then a fekkin King on the river :( . So we decide to sit at the cash table - 1/2 PL ith a round of Holdem and a round of Omaha - quite a tasty wee game this and we both decide to sit with only half a buy in.

Around an hour later I'm sitting with £400 and Gareth with around £600 when hand number 2 rears its ugly head.

Omaha and its been raised to £7 pre with a couple of limpers so I go along with AKd Q7c - the flop comes down Ks 10s 8h and its checked to me so I bet the pot and get 2 callers. The Jd on the turn gives me the nut straight and its bet to me so I raise the pot and the guy calls..........oh happy days....until the Js falls on the river and kills my hand. Theres around £350 in the middle at this stage and I can't call his all of around £100...........from nuts on turn to nothin,thats Omaha.(He called on the turn with 101010 btw.......................)

So instead of leaving £600 up I make my way home around £200 in profit , not to be sneezed at but two hands and two rivers..............sick sick sick.................
