Cursed... and popping bubbles,

Work is fun at the mo. Got 2 lovely 4-midnight shifts today and 2moro, and then lates till Weds night, meaning I won't be playing at all till Thursday.

I've played pretty much all of the tournies at the G, minus the £20 r/b and the £30+1 as those are both on nights I can't play... the only other fairly big one is the Sat night £25 + 1. I've played it about 6 times, and have never cashed. I know its just variance, as the players aren't anything different or special, I just run bad at crucial times.

managed to final table bubble last night, shoved UTG with KJ for 9k at 600/1200, s/stack calls for 5k with 78, which flops 2 pair!

Next hand have Kj suited and lose to A7 suited. LOL

My 3rd staking period has finished, being just over $1k down. Most annoying, when I've hit the final tables, I've never gone above 8th. Also have run bad approaching the bubble, several times losing with KK or AA for a CL pot.

Apart from that life just goes on. Nothing special happening, just saving up for BB8 in Leeds in September. Its kinda my hols for the year ( I have the week off after it as well) so not planning anything expensive till then.

Staking period 4 starts on Thursday, giving it a good go and will see what happens!

In a hole

$500 in my mtt hole...

its quite bluntly fucking me off how bad I'm running from the bubble onwards.

I've cashed 4 times more often in this staking period than in any others, and its the only time I'm way down.

I NEED a win, that much is certain.

I'm in shock!!!

A final table on pokerstars!!

The fact it was a HORSE tournament ( knowing nothing about the other 4 formats, even tho I played particularly well at stud hi/low) doesn't bother me!!

Ended up finishing 3rd for just over $200, after losing a mahoosive pot to go into HU 10:1 on the river in stud hi.

Happy days :)
