same old same old

well another morning and more stupidity!!
today feeling rather brave/stupid i start up for games!! 2 on FT one $1 turbo and a $2 turbo, on stars one $1.75 2 table turbo and one $6 2 table turbo

typically in the 2 cheaper tournys i started well, but in the other 2 was just coasting along waiting for some cards

i destroyed the $1.75 on stars and soon was chip leader out of 12 then 10 then 9 etc....
in fact it was only when we down to 6 that some people got stacks close to mine!!

early on it was just beautiful, no matter what i had it seemed to hit!! 2 early double ups and then a few more good pots

anyway when down to 6 things tightened up and i lost a few chips here and there, eventually down to 3 then i take out 3rd and we HU with about even stacks, i get the first advantage when i take bout 4k off other guy

i on 20k he on 8k!!

then he starts pushing all in a few times, i dont wanna risk it just yet so i fold, then he pushes again and i have A2, i figure my ace is ahead so i call
he has 6J hearts
flop xxx
turn x, looking good, no flush, just one more bullet to dodge
river...... 6!!
damn it!!

suddenly i lagging chips!!

i get a few more back, but he starts pushing again
so when i get 67 diamonds i push
he has A2, maybe its a sign and it wont hold up again??

flop xx2
turn A
river 2!!!

typical!!
oh well 2nd is ok

in the 2 FT games i take a 3rd and 6th, and in the other stars game 6th also

so all in all, not a great start

so then as usual i figure lets see if i can make some back in cash games
so more unusually for me i decided to keep it small
i put $5 on then 1c/2c table
its pretty passive and i take a few early pots, not bad
then when i have AQ and flop an ace a small stack goes all in for 53c i call and he has nothing!! no pair barely even draw!!
so i then up to $6.13 wow!!
a few more pots and i nearly at $7

then the hand that had to happen
i get 10J diamonds and raise 2xbb a few callers as seems to be the norm at this level
flop comes xJJ !!!there is a bet and raise before it comes to me, i reraise about $2, fold fold, then this guy goes all in... for like 50c more so of course i call
whats he got???? 710 hearts, so a weak draw to a str8... but whats that i see 2 hearts on the board!!

turn x and no heart
river.... do i even need to tell u... HEART!!!!!!!!! jesus christ, why is it everyone hits there flush draw against me!!! yet i never seem to get mine.. oh well such is life, u get kicked when ur down!!

anyway with time pressing on and being down to $4 i decide to leave before i do something stupid!!

anyway, i have left message with a few of my fellow bloggers but no harm is asking everyone

i play most mornings before work 7:30-8:45ish am uk time
if anyone wants to watch or would be kind enough to watch/advise me a bit then would be most appreciated, just leave a comment or email me pokeking69@yahoo.co.uk and we will see what we can sort out.... my game hopefully!!

anyway i promise more theory soon, also have to say well done to liverpool last night in footy, sorry to chelsea fans out there, i all for supporting the british clubs in europe but with mr big heads attitude i was glad that chelsea lost and cant go for a quad!!

thats very unlucky with the flush outdrawing you mate, but you have to remember these things happen a lot - the important thing to rememebr is in the long ruun you will profit from people calling with these hands.

so keep the faith
