Tilt inducement

I had one very sick hand on Sunday, the first hand of a STT, KK v KK v AA. I had one of the KKs and we got it in three ways as I am not good enough to fold KK even on level one of these STTs.

Later on in one of the STTs I had a massive chip lead with five left and the blinds were getting pretty high, I got it in with QQ v 77 v 44. I turn a set and they both hit a flush on the river, the next hand I call a push with AJcc v A5 and he river trips and I end up going out in fourth place, which was pretty sick.

To end the night I played a $5 MTT with 699 runners - made the money without any real controversy, but I was very tired at this stage and really needed to sleep. I had registered for a few more tournaments but had to unreg as I couldn't stay awake for much longer. When we were in the money I shoved over a raise from sb with a 5Jdd and bb wakes up with TT and it's good night to me. I didn't have much luck in the STTs either and ended the night with 450ish and went to bed early.

On Monday when I got up I played a few STTs, which went pretty poorly, so I decided to give some MTTs a spin. I went deep in the $10 3.5k gtd but ended up busting in 22nd of 383 for 28 bucks. I had doubled up on the bubble when I called a min raise on the button with 66 and flopped a set, guy open jams 20k into a 3k pot with AA and I hold, then next hand my AQ gets rivered by A8 for a huge chip lead. Lol donkaments!!

I also went deep at the same time in a five dollar 1.25k gtd, but again only managed 27th of 334 for a $12 payout, I raised KJ on the button and got flatted from the bb, we got it in on a K high flop and he had an ace, wp him :(

I then had a few good sessions on the STT front, a couple of back-to-back winners helped build the roll up to 580ish. I then went four tabling cash at 10c-20c, playing very tight and got it in blind v blind with KK v AT and he spikes an ace on the flop :( There's 40 bucks gone. Unreal how bad I am running in the cash games.

I went to play live late on Monday night and then went to the Westbury monthly game on Tuesday night and cashed in seventh for €500, I had a nice stack two tables out but lost with QQ to 99 for a sizeable pot and then got a few raises snapped off and couldn't get back into it. The worst thing was going outside the club to see that my car had been clamped, €120 and over an hour waiting on them to come out. Tilt inducing to say the least.

Anyway, my balance is now €534.73, not much profit since the last blog but I still have something to work with, I have 25 BIs now for $20 STTs so I might give a few of them a try next and hopefully get off to a good start in them.
