Saturday Successes
I pulled an all-nighter Friday. I listened in to Rounders and managed to win myself an entry into a short-handed SNG that will have a prizepool equivalent to a $20 buy-in and I`ll be playing four other Rounders listeners and Tony Guerrera. For those of you that don`t know, Tony is the author of Killer Poker By The Numbers. He`s a maths whizz, writer and short-handed cash game specialist. He`s written some great articles that you can check out here
After that I played the Full Tilt freeroll to kill some time and ended up chatting about music with a bunch of guys in the Rounders chatroom.
I played the early morning HORSE game at Poker.com but failed to cash. I was rather unlucky when short-stacked my QQ was beaten by 33 when he flopped a set. Undeterred I jumped into a Razz tourney and took 2nd place. I possibly could have won it but I really needed to pop out so I gambled more than I needed to. Razz HU is a bit of a nightmare, low card bets and usually your opponent folds.
I was busy all day and then ended up playing a 5th Street game at the same time as the weekly tourney I set up. I don`t really like multi-tabling and things were a little manic. Once the Charity Ball started too it was REALLY manic. I was just constantly flicking between the three tables and playing largely by instinct and making snap decisions.
HU at the 5th Street game I had Q-10s and decided to risk calling Scottishlad`s all-in. I was pretty sure he had an ace but really needed to get the game wrapped up and figured I would probably be only a small dog. I was right he had A-7, I paired my 10 on the flop but he hit his ace too and that was the end of that.
I went out of the Charity Ball a little later. I have no luck in this tourney whenever I play it. I had QQ, A-Q, A-10 back to back and didn`t win a single chip. I exited mid-field.
At least that allowed me to concentrate on my final game. I made it to HU again against Scottishlad but this time I had a significant chip lead having hit a huge run of cards. I finally took him out with jack high to make it one all on the evening. So satisfying to pick up a win after the recent run of near misses I`ve had
