Blurgh! sundays

Its sunday, well monday now and its nearly 4am here, just finished an extremely dissappointing mtt session, just had good stacks in the 750k, the 35k and the 20 rebuy and now im out of them all, yuck hate to moan about bad beats but it was pretty sick, KK v AQ for 70k pot in 35k allin on 10high board, AJ v A10 allin preflop and 1010 v Q7, i wasnt even shortstackd either players were just trying to give me their chips, blah! enough of that.

I really dont like talking about bad beats because it annoys me when others do, so im gonna shut up about it. Theres so much hope on sundays, maybe one day it will all come together in a big one.

Soooooo, besides that im feeling really really good, had a few hours heads up cash with my pez102, were sick sick human beings when we play each other lol we know each other inside out, so many sick bluffs and calls in those few hours, we ended up about even, but it put me in a really good frame of mind and i was playing really good tonight, got deep in nearly everything, lost huge flip for the chip lead in the 40k with 20 players left but oh well...
I really feel on top of my game atm.

Heres some interesting hands from today

I talked about blind vs blind situations in a previous entry and heres a good example...

Ok, i enjoy reading other players thought processes about hands they played so heres mine on this hand. Iv been at the table for about 6-7 rounds, mutigers5591 seems a little loose but i havent played a pot with him/her yet. Folded round to me in the sb with A7, pretty obvious raising hand, i raise to 950, standard.. mutigers5591 calls, could defending with a wide range here.. flop 669.. i bet 1320 into just over 2k.. called.. hmm now surely he would have raised with a 9 on the flop, 6 is unlikely.. small pocket pair?,... A high?... anyway the turn comes a 10, i slow down and check, 78 could be possible which would have just turned a straight... now he instantly bets 2100.. hmmm i think i can remove 78 and a 6 from his range now, possibly he slowplayed a 9 but i didnt think so.. 10 is pretty unlikely aswell, so were left with A or K high float or a small pocket pair.. it seemed like he was trying to look strong, so i raised small enough to not commit myself if i had run into something and read it wrong but big enough to ask a question... so i raised to 5400, s/he thinks then folds and i show coz im an ass.

Few rounds later this happens...

Same scenario folded round to the blinds, now with a bit of history.. i raise again.. he flat calls again... really good flop, i feign weakness betting around half the pot, he falls for it and shoves, possibly influenced by the bluff i showed in the last hand we played hmm...

Here's a hand from the 35k

This is an interesting hand i pick up KK in early position, no reads on the table.. not been sat long and multi-tabling, i make it 527.. snoringbeagl calls and then its folded around, so at this point i can put a rough range of 66+ AT+ maybe high suited connectors... flop comes 568, decentish flop, im probably going to have to go with it here, if hes hit a set then nice hand... i bet out 897 he flat calls, hmm 77? 88 99 1010 JJ set.. AK?... i instacheck the turn a Q trying to look weak.. as if id tried on the flop with somethin like AK now iv given up... i was planning to push if he bet but he checks behind hmm... river is another Q, pot is now 3.3k ish and i have 4.7k.. set is pretty much out the question now... and a Q would have bet the turn too... as would a floating call on the flop with overcards at this point im pretty sure he either has 77 99 1010 or JJ maybe even an underpair... im not gonna check because he will likely check a lot of hands i can beat behind.. so how much to bet... for maximum value.. i decided ther overshove disguised my hand best.. so pushed allin.. which looked v desperate.. i think he calls with a lot of the hands in his range as it doesnt look like i have anything.. he calls with 10s and i win a big pot.

Thats enough HH for now lol. Iv been playing some heads up cash too in the last few days and im getting hooked, iv won about 8 buyins over not that long of a period.. 50-1 is incedibly weak.
Tonight was disappointing but theres not a lot i could have done differently so im happy..
big things are sure to come if im not making many mistakes and playing my A game!

Over the next week going to try and put some more heads up cash hours in and play lots and lots of mtts... coz i love poker :)

gl at the tables guys
sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep time
