Super Monkey Tilt

The last few days have been very harsh, i've been so card dead its unbelieveable, i've been playing a load on the cryptlogic network which i have done fairly good in the past but for some reason the last four days have been horific.

I have played about twenty tornaments and not been dealt a pocket pair higher than 9's in them and the one time i did get K's I was short stacked with about 980 chips and in the big blind which was 100, a guy utg+1 raises to 450 and everyone else folds, I thought it's a good time to shove so I did, he shows A 10 offsuit, flop come 7 3 J raindow board, turn comes a 9, river comes a 8 and he has the straight to wipe me out of the tornament, what the fuck is going on.

I've tried chasing my losses and had absolutely shit luck so i'm done for acouple days to get my head back in order.

In July i'm gonna press hard to qualify for the WSOPE 2008 on BetFair so watch this space for updates.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

The Good :

So here's a update of my recent activity, on thursday 5th I took down a 10c 360 player sit'n'go and a $1 9 man sit'n'go on poker stars for a combined cash of just over $12 (such high stakes lol), then I fired up william hill and entered a $10 head hunter which had and ended up winning it for $347 which was $225 for first place and $122 in collected heads so was not a bad run.


The Bad & The Ugly :

After sinking a few largers whilst playing in these torneys and then sinking a few more in celebration I chilled out watching TV for a hour or so, then in my slightly pissed condition I decided to fire up william hill and play the cash tables, I went on to $1/$2 with $200 and managed to lose it after getting it up to $280.

After that loss i moved down a few stakes to the 25c/50c tables and lost around $30 before calling it quits, so my $347 is now about $120, I quickly cashed out the rest as I knew if I left it I would just donk it off. Just to make it clear The Bad = playing poker whilst drunk and The Ugly = me shout abscenities at my computer when I lost the money. GG me.


Since then I have managed to play some cash games on Full Tilt and Party which both have produce a little profit, I also played a cash table on Ladbrokes and managed to win 5 times my buy in which I consider to be not too bad.

I've also qualified for the end of month 20k torney on ClubBluff and am in the Pocket Fives freeroll on the 14th June on UltimateBet.

FTP & Bodog MSOP

So I was planning on playing the $10+1 events on both sites, played my first one on FTP last night and finished 279th with 189 places paid and a field of over 1800. I was expecting to play the Bodog version tonight but as a typical euro donk I didnt work out the times properly and it actually was played last night aswell, I didnt play it so my entry just got blinded out. gg me.

I've decided not to play anymore of theses events on Bodog as the start times just aint any good for me.

I've signed up to Bluff Magazines online poker room ClubBluff, it's using UltimateBet software and I like it, i'm really just using it to warm up for torneys and practice abit, if i end up getting some value out of it then thats all the better.

On a personal level i'm picking my daughter up from school today, I always look forward to seeing her but dont look forward to doing some of the stuff she wants to do, she runs rings around me lol.
