I'll post a quick update now as i have 10 mins before a work meeting.
Poker went ok yesterday, although started out bad with a 30 min lunchtime session distracted by women & children in which i managed to lose £35, mostly in a reraised pot w/ QQ on a 972 (2 diamond flop) where my opponent called a shove of over 100bb, less than 2/1 odds to hit the nut flush (and hit on the river).
Should teach me to play rushed and distracted. But i played leter that day after football & swimming / sauna, with no discrations and played much better. Only played 2 short sessions and ended ~£100 up so overall profit for the day.
I then wrote a blog here which (because i was tired), i accidentally deleted, so went to bed.
But at least i only lost my blog and not a load of cash from playing tired! ;-) .. Definitely need to stick with shorter sessions stop when still feeling fresh.
I will mention my final hand from Tuesdays tourney.. I had 89o in the BB. The SB, (a very tricky bengali player who regularly wins at these local live games) was staring at me as he called saying you wont raise will you.
I felt almost hypnotised into checking and the flop was, 852(2 diamonds) he checks, i raise to 5k (we both have about 65k), he reraises to 10k, i 3bet to 22k and he shoves. When i raised to 22k i planned to fold to a shove but ended up tanking, thinking for ages, people all around me saying different things and he was talking a lot, and eventually i had a read that my hand was good, which of course was wrong. He flipped 82s and i didnt hit. Tourney over.
If i folded we would have gone to final table but i only had 37k left and would be short stack there so thought i'd go for the win.. With that pot i would be chipleader.. Played it really bad but will move on and try to learn from it.
