It seems that recently I am spending loads of money of poker and not getting anything back. I realise once again that cash games aren't my strong point and that tourneys are a hell of a lot more fun especially when you pop the money bubble. Of course, where would the fun be in poker if you never won anything? Truth be told, I would never play if I never won. And I think that goes for more than almost everyone.
Yesterday I decided since I was low on money that I would go for super micro stakes sit & gos. I found 10¢ 360 player sit & gos on Pokerstars; perfect. I must have played 3 or 4 of them in total, lasting at least an hour each time bit never cashed. Each time hitting a brilliant hand but not coming out with the goods on the other side. You had to finish in the top 36 to be payed and on the last go I hit 39 and realised I should probably pack it in for the day. I was however off work for having a migraine so I really shouldn't have been acing my computer monitor anyway.
Because I played poker and spent £170 on a leather jacket and now sit in Crewe train station again with a painful head feeling slightly guilty I took the day off yesterday. Oh well. Here's to concentration...I just wish the guy sitting next to me would stop tapping his foot on the ground whilst reading the paper. My head is banging.

OMG
I was trying to see if I could make it, only watching the EPT and catching up with updates posted on the poker news website, unfortunately, this doesn't seem to cut it for me. I went to my poker game on Monday night last week, it felt like a lot more fun than usual, especially hitting that straight flush that I didn't even notice and only one person did notice that my 10 of diamonds beat Fraser's K of the same suit. Thank goodness that 8d was there as this had created an absolutely massive pot. I still finished quite early but got a couple of hours worth of game play, and, managed to only play my £5 and restrained myself at add on stage.
This huge urge inside of my could not carry on settling for just reading about poker, I had to play it. I thought $10 will not do too much harm, I also had an overwhelming need to get on zoom poker, which is odd, considering I have been trying to steer clear of it since losing a load of rush poker all those years ago. On this particular Thursday evening though, zoom went well I my favour and I needed up more than $10 up, but I couldn't stop there. Knowing I had work the next day and being 10pm I did something I told myself not to. I entered the big $4.40 tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $15k, I had fun, I had a good run too. I then had to make the decision to bust out in 600 and something place for just over $8 as it was 2am and waking up 3 hours later didn't seem like so much fun.
On Sunday rush poker had mixed feelings for me, I was yo-yoing like crazy. I had to make the decision to fold all hands that didn't contain 2 picture cards along with KJo and an AA since have done nothing but lose a mother load of cash each time these hands have showed their faces this past week. Ultimate madness. So I went round to my dads and thought this wasn't good enough and that I had 'unfinished business' and lost it all. Just going to have to wait until pay day on Friday now. Maybe I'll get some sleep this week.
