casino ship ship

hey, so on a poker milestone i cashed for the first time at the casino the other day, came 2nd for £230 in the £10 1 rebuy which i was chuft with.
a few memorable hands
21 left not short stakt but not got many chips, the button pushes all in and i look down at an A, i wud call neway with 1 A bt after cheking the other card and that being another A i decide im prob ahead and call, take it down.
on the final table i started shortest stack and managed t get myself down to 7k, blinds 3/6 waiting for 8th to go out so i make money. after making the money i look down at AK on button. a limp behind me and i go all in for 7k, 1k more than BB. SB folds even though he has loads and bb and limper call. flop is Q high and limper bets min and BB folds. i stand up expecting to lose and turn brings A. "sit urself down" says SB who passed 69 and wud have made a set, ship.

another crucial hand was my AJ splitting with AQ after board paired twice on river meaning both A high play
anyway i was going all in with A7, A4 etc late positions and managed to become chip leader after winning with AJ vs A9 all in pre... maybe this is my day, and after hearing 1st is £350 i began to get more optimistic
3 of us are left to play for last 45 mins and with no change in chips much the last 3 hands is called.
1st 2 hands a guy pushed all in and we both folded. last hand i had 107 bb and button goes all in blinds. i decide after a short while and sum croud encouragement to call and he flips 47, that hand was worth an extra £105 as well all had £120 for sure.
WHAT A NIGHT
online i havent really done much because been going out n tht, but played 1 $11 2dy n 1 yesterdy n managed t win em both despite forgetting i was in 1 until half way through when there are 6 left, stil won it so wot?
hoping to go t casino wednesday and with sharks such as horneris and leknave on holiday im hoping il put in a good performance for TPT boys again,
cheers for reading

eye on the prize

been mostly playing $6 stt really, only occasionally though, between revision and that.
played 2 or 3 20 seaters aswell and in a 30 seater as we speak b4 i go t sleep (currently 2nd with 7 left)
i took a shot at the $11 regular mtt today and started off amazingly well. i was 3rd in chips for a short while, but lost all momentum when i reraised a guy with KK on bb and after he thought for ages decided to call with A9 and hit A on flop. pretty card dead from then on and ended up finishing 35th for $30, had my eye on FT for a long while but not today.

anyway gna have a really good day revising tomorrow and hopefully a big win will come soon. cant wait for after tuesday, last exam and i can hit casino big time in search of a FT atleast.
last 5 left in this tourn neway and im doin pretty well so il finish this then hit the sac

a new quest

thought i hadnt posted in a while and since im still playing now and again i decided to tell you wot iv been doing
so since i only had $70 and been running bad for a while i decided to play sum stuff i wdnt normally and c if i cn increase my BR quickly in a short while.....not happening
im enjoying playing backgammon aswell which mite b sad bt its gud fun.
i lost $16 in 1 night after bubbling with AQ vs QJ all in pre, he decided to reraise me after my bet on button, he prob thought i was weak on button raise but wotever.

so iv decided to restart my grind after my exams are done and get from my appauling balance to what it could be once more, it was a laugh last time and hopefully i can learn from my mistakes.

if i get bored with that il probably redeposit and hit the multis and if i start running gud 4 abit, with confidence i hope i can do well. thats if the beats stay away

now im not sure if i am the best multi player because i tend to tighten up abit when blinds get loads bigger but my mate, dave leknave jones keeps shipping it so badly every day that its given me enthusiasm to do the same

il post again when this actually starts

end of a day

iv finally decided to withdraw most of the funds i have.
im spending alot of money atm and since iv given up 1 of my jobs, cant really afford to go out like id like to at this time of my life.
since im on such a bad run i figure i can cool it down for abit and also hopefully i wont play as much for my exams.
i got down to $400 today and cant seem to make any money atm so just wasting my time is pointless
i will redeposit after my exams and get down to some serious mtt hoping to ship it badly
cheers for the support
ending BR: $71.62

absolute sickest beat in the word

i just got the worst beat iv ever had in my life no word of a lie
i get QQ late position sum guy goes all in pre, guy with slightly more chips than me calls and i reraise all in.
the cards are flipped the original all inner has A7, other guy has 99
the flop comes 9QA, turn x river.....9 the first time i have ever been 1 outed im actually speachless and so annoyed at the same time. would have taken me to a huge chip leader in an $11 tourny im so sick

also played in an $8 qualifier but lost with QQ to AA on AQ9 flop. wheres my 1 outer hey?

since im on with these shit beats i just lost the final game im gna play 2nite with KQ vs Q10 all in pre. i ws rly looking forward to playing alot of poker tonight but iv decided to call it a night now because of whats been happening.
not making any money online at all anymore whats the point in wasting my time
better luck tomorrow
