Rolercoaster.............

Hmm....... sometimes I think the poker gods are going a wee bit to far............

As i write I have just bubbled in the $40 Breakfast club on Ladbrokes,the exit hand I dont really have a problem with as we were both pretty short stacked and hes perfectly entitled to call all in with his AK v my 66..... its the hand below that did the damage.



So with that behind me I decided to play one of my Badbeat accounts in the afternoon and plumped for the $20 double stack with 160 runners and the $7500 GTD $5 rebuy with 549 runners to run alongside it.


The $5 ended badly with me losing a coinflip-QQ v AK for a huge pot when the payouts had just begun,a measley $31 compared to the $1800 for first,and I took my exit in 79th. The $20 went somewhat better however with me reaching the final table as chipleader after having been low all tournament and going on to take the win for $864. POSITIVE MENTAL ATITUDE :).



So just the Dream Team on Betfair to play in the evening and it went the reverse of the earlier $20. I led it for a long time but reached the final table around 5th/9 and unfortunately it ended badly with me pushing QJ from smal blind into A3 in the big blind.
Some of my team said it was a prety sick call with A3 but on reflection with blinds at 2k/4k and a 400 ante the big blind probably figured my shoving range with a 20k stack and over 9k in the middle was good enough to take on with his ace high. No real complaints just sorry I couldnt push a few more points for the team.


All in all,a rollercoaster of a day,but hey............BIG ONE COMING :)
