Second is the best loser................

I feckin hate 2nd place...........

Had a long days play today , on Ladbrokes and Ipoker for Badbeat. Managed to drop a few dollars on Ipoker mainly through donk play and jumping straight in while not fully awake (idiot).

Only played two games on Laddies,a high stack where I managed o have my AA cracked by QK on a Q high flop and the $10 rebuy which started at 4pm and finished with me taking $542 for second at around 10pm , sounds good but I'm deeply disapointed with the result. It came down to one pivotal hand with blinds at 10k/20k and me holding JJ v Q9 the donkey caled a check raise on the turn only to fill his straight on the river.

I managed to blame myself after the tournament was over but on reflection the guy was just a muppet. I bet the flop and he called - then I check raised him on the turn for 70k and he called again with his gutshot which he duly hit.

So no trophy today but as my unofficial mentor said........." ...do not blame yourself , the engraver just had the night off ".
