Getting close.. the luck of the flips are deserting me..

The last couple of days have been decent, if not amazing.

Have cashed in probably 50% of the tournies I've played, but no big cashes.

Finalled 2 tournies on Blonde yesterday, went out 9th and 10th sigh...

Today, I set myself a challenge, could I multi-table 8/9 mtts...

Went fairly deep in a stars $10 mtt, obv a 40bb shove should be instasnapcalled by AJ.. I had KK... rivered the 3rd J..

Blonde tourny was as usual, good fun, and as usual, I can't race for toffee..

The one positive being an early double up KK v 10 10

then... KK v 44... 4 on turn

KK v A4.. 4 on flop, 4 on river...

I was very kindly staked into the 80k on stars by ACE2M...never played it before so had no idea what to expect.. found it fairly easy going tbh, never in danger for the 1st 2 hours...

Then, at 400/800 got KJ on my bb, SB pushed for 2.4k.. decided to make a stand and went all in, he called with A 10, pulled a straight on the river :)

Got into the money nice n easy, had a 20k stack at 500/1k, then with blinds 600/1.2k ( and me playing tight)...

Had 10 10 in mid position, and the player in front of me raised to 3.6k, decided to flat, as it was middle table ( about 6 behind IIRC), no other callers... flop was a rainbow Q 2 4 flop and he checks..

Now I put him on AK/AJ as I'm not checking at this point with TP on the board.. raise to 4.8k with 8k back.. he tanks for 15 seconds and pushes. I call, and I KNOW I'm ahead..

He tables A9... 40k stack here we come... until jokerstars rewards his QUALITY play with an A turn.... abs sickening..still is now some 15 mins later..
