I'm finding that updating this blog more regularly keeps me focused so i'm updating again!
Just fininshed playing for the night and it's been good.. I feel i played my A game 90% of the time for a ~3hour session.. Played a couple of tables cashgames on iPoker, one really nice £50 6max table which i ended up leaving with £147 after getting AK and getting on a A62r flop, i check-raise, turn is K, i shove and get calls from AQs and J6?!.. So finished ~£60 up for the cashgames, even though i couldnt make PT or HUD work with iPoker..
Also i played a few tourneys on fill tilt, played the $5 doubles and 2 $24 rush tourneys.. Didn't cash in the doubles (get pretty bored playing them these days!) but got a min cash in the 1st rush tourney for $30 which i put straight into the next one which had over 1000 entrants.
I tripled up early and was close to chiplead for most of the tournament.. Abouth halfway through i got very luck 4 bet QQ into AA and hit quads which put me up to 4th in chips, from there played aggressive & hit some nice hands, but made a coulpe of mistakes:
Full Tilt - 800/1600 NL - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3: http://www.pokertracker.com
BTN: 58,307.00
SB: 17,016.00
BB: 28,285.00
UTG: 84,618.00
Hero (MP): 79,597.00
CO: 14,086.00
BTN posts ante 200.00, SB posts ante 200.00, BB posts ante 200.00, UTG posts ante 200.00, Hero posts ante 200.00, CO posts ante 200.00, SB posts SB 800.00, BB posts BB 1,600.00
Pre Flop: (pot: 3600.00) Hero has 8s 8c
UTG raises to 3,389.00, Hero calls 3,389.00, CO raises to 13,886.00 and is all-in, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 10,497.00
Flop: (34761.00, 2 players) Ks Td 5h
Turn: (34761.00, 2 players) Qh
River: (34761.00, 2 players) Jd
Hero shows 8s 8c (One Pair, Eights)
CO shows Kh Kc (Three of a Kind, Kings)
CO wins 34,761.00
And then this:
Hero posts ante 200.00, SB posts ante 200.00, BB posts ante 200.00, UTG posts ante 200.00, MP posts ante 200.00, CO posts ante 200.00, SB posts SB 800.00, BB posts BB 1,600.00
Pre Flop: (pot: 3600.00) Hero has 2c 6s
fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 4,800.00, fold, BB calls 3,200.00
Flop: (11600.00, 2 players) 9d Th Kd
BB checks, Hero bets 60,511.00 and is all-in, BB calls 23,288.00 and is all-in
Turn: (58176.00, 2 players) 6d
River: (58176.00, 2 players) Js
Hero shows 2c 6s (One Pair, Sixes)
BB shows Ah Ad (One Pair, Aces)
BB wins 58,176.00
Both pretty bad, but i was playing for win / final table, not min cashes so gots to be aggressive right?
In the end i managed to get my stack back up to over 100k and shove TT over a small raise, villain tanks and calls w/ AKo.. Flop AKQ.. No J or T on the turn or river and i'm crippled..
End up shoving Q9 with an M of about 3 and get called by AA to go out 30/~1000 so cashed out my $100 and settle for a profit tonight of about £100 which, altough i was close to a nice tourney cash, i'm still happy with..
In other news i tilted bad on Friday night. Was very tired after a long work week and ended up playing 100NL / 200NL will 2.30am ending disasterously £400 down. Very disappointed as once again all my hard work is wiped out in a few bad hands. I also played ~2k hands yesterday but played pretty well and only ended a bit down, mainly due to this hand:
OnGame - $1 NL (5 max) - Holdem - 4 players

Turn: ($28.50, 2 players) Qc
Hero checks, BTN bets $21.00, Hero calls $21.00
River: ($70.50, 2 players) Tc
Hero bets $176.50 and is all-in, BTN calls $63.00 and is all-in
Hero shows Ts 7c (Full House, Tens full of Sevens)
BTN shows Th Qd (Full House, Tens full of Queens)
BTN wins $194.50
I thought this was pretty sick & i'm pretty sure it was unavoidable, apart from i should fold the T7o preflop!
I need to stop playing online Friday nights. This is always when things go really wrong. I'm not 100R% sure why but i think its a combo of being exhausted from working 40hour week + poker most nights and there seem to be some better players on Friday nights (although i suspect thats just my perception)
Anyway i've decided to play live tourney on Fridays instead of Tuesdays to keep Fri night losses to a minimum, and focus on the online during weekdays. Hope it works!
I'm going to bed now anyways x cya
