Dont think i can face much poker right now.
Stuck in a rut when it comes to these near misses for cashes in the SCOOP.
Its getting beyond a joke.
This has to be hardest period I have had to endure in that regard.
If anyone has some nice words feel free to share.
Did I do something wrong? Do i take a deep breath and jump straight back on SNGS?

Well its Saturday and back to my favourite discipline mixed games.
I have started really late due to having to sort out personal matters.
I managed to sneak in 2 sats for the HORSE L and M......
I bubbled the $39 sat into the M which was really disappointing given there were 3 situations where another player was all in and looking like they were bubbling but managed to survive.
Then when I had the best hand Ax in a 3 way pot in FLHE the board rivers a FH and counterfeits my hand unreal.
Even so I got my entry $ back WITH my tail between my legs feeling a little hard done by.
Won my $6 sat into the Low
So hopefully the SCOOP 36L will have to do ....and I have HIGH HOPES.
I will keep you updated on my progress.
WATCH THIS SPACE _biggrin:

Steady start as we gone into 2nd break I stand
8.9k with the avg @ 6.2k
I could always be found @ the HORSE cash tables so I'm sure that a good run is possible

Gr8 bad hour guy catches 1 of 4 outs tops to bust me on 7th street in stud8 for 12k pot 3 hands from break.
Not onbly did i Have 2pr but best lo draw with it
Lady luck deserts me and hanging in there now with 3k

Weee Sunday is here again, cup of tea and early start for me.

Having busto again in the SCOOP, not for playing badly, I finished my night off playing some 20 $7 fifty 50 turbos....nice.
Made $$$$ and am really keen to make an early start and put some volume in before my last crack of the whip in the SCOOP.

TBH i wont be so sad seeing the back of the SCOOP for another year given my current climate........after wishing for its arrival I want to knuckle down and get into a routine of rolling out games, sweating hands and some general hard work.

I hope to produce a lovely graph for my blog later and show things are not all bad.
Good Luck @ the tables

Lets just say I have had the most outrageous occurrence.
A power cut with 6 tables open.
Can I sue the electricity board for losses?

I have had a little change of format in sngs from $7 turbos 50/50 to 180 man $2 turbos.
Not sure the format of the 50/50s allows me to use my ability best.
And it seems I'm right with a cash and a 2nd within my 1st 5 sngs.

Already feels more comfortable so here I go.
Confidence is growing

Been missing from the blog for a couple of weeks due to personal circumstances..

Mrs 74 busting her thumb in a school playground (no kids hurt all day @ school yet a grown woman managed it)
My twins 3rd birthday ....(pocket hurt all day)
And a virus and I'm still suffering.

I did manage to sneak a decent run in the Sunday Kick off $109 on 150k day only to lose a pre flop all in with AKs v AQ v 10/7 for a monster pot (tourney winning stack scenario) AQx flop still it wasnt to be but a cash.

We have the WSOSP running at the moment.
Which I have been keeping close tabs on, what with all the Brit success is heartwarming.
Personally, I had every intention of venturing back to my native North East this week for the UKIPT leg but due to some of the above and a car garage blowing the engine on my car (who are refusing liability) has meant I will have to look to Brighton as my next live outing.
Lets hope I will only have to worry about my passport next yr when I want to fly over stateside for some fuss thats going on over there.

Still, once tomorrow comes I will get down to some playing, refreshed and armed with more knowledge than I had before my last post.
Good Luck @ the tables ;)
