The game - Texas Hold Em No Limit
The Venue - live or Internet


After several weeks of good play and good results, last week has been rough.

At the 9-player Monday Fife game, I started loose play during the rebuy period.

Doubled up 1st hand. The 2nd time in a row I've done it. Chip count was an instant 3.5K courtesy of Shugster.

2nd hand, moved all in with AJ offsuit, was taken out by a pair from Shugster.

Kept moving and shaking up to about 4K, but lost on a draw.

Still no rebuy, going into the freezeout session I had 1500 in chips. Basically level from start. Topped up to 3000 in chips. Now I had to wait for my moment....

Hole cards came eventually, I had about 2600 in chips an AA pre-flop.

Moved all in, James called with 88 and Gary with 44. Ross already folded A8 so that reduced the outs.

James had 1 out and 6.8% chance of hitting an 8. And he did, to give him 888.

My aces were defeated....poop!

All downhill from there, couldn't get moving in the Be A Pro freeroll all week, out 3rd hand in WPT qualifier and then did $75 on Bodog. Bodog sucks. It's profiled me as someone who's hustling and deals me juicy cards like 10/10, KK, QQ, AK and they lost EVERY time.

So I'm taking it easy this week. It's just a rough week for poker.
