Persevere.......

Haven't posted in a while simply because I don't want to fill this with endless bad beats and negativity , it really is getting tougher to plough on through what is going on at the minute but I guess I just have to console myself with the fact that I am playing really well and that the results will come .

Yesterday however was a stinker !

I made a call in the Ladbrokes 10 rebuy wth blinds at 200/400 when I had a 12k stack , some of my learned colleagues have questioned it but I know it's a long term winning play........

My opponent in the hand had just halved his 20k stack the hand previous by shoving with KQoff on and ace high 2 club flop with no pair no draw. Next hand I get pocket 10s and its raised to 1200 beore me and I elect to take a flop - guy in question decides to shove when it comes to him for his remaining 10k and the original raiser folds.

Now it's in no way an auto call but I am convinced its a squeeze.....I can fold and still have over 10k but if I make the call its a 22k pot at 200/400 and I am in a great position to go on and win. Call is made an as expected he has squeezed with a9 off - flop delivers the ace of course and I'm crippled. Im 72% to win here and will make this call all day every day in this position but as usual lately the donkey gets rewarded.

I also final tabled the $3k gtd $25 on Ladbrokes later on but there was no poker to be played on that table as it quickly descended into a muppet fest - serial buffoon eventually busting my aces with AK ffs and I exit in 5th............

Its coming soon apparently , hope the patience holds..........
