Poker can be an Ass

Some nights you sit down and start playing and you just feel very comfortable (about your poker that is, not necessarily in a physical sense, being physically comfortable would involve Keeley Hazell), so feeling suitably comfortable I fired up 6 tables of NL10 whilst I had my tea (meat pie & chips - it's great being a Northerner) and managed to rack up $28 in about 30 mins on Full Tilt. I then observed a particulary loose NL100 table on Cake Poker and decided it could be profitable (how wrong I was).

I sat down and within 20 mins had my $100 Buy-in up to $127 and I was still feeling supremely confident, especially seeing some of pre-flop all-ins occuring (QTos v A3os). The session then took a sinister twist and I suffered a couple of horrific beats, twice I got KKK cracked by AAA with the final Ace coming on the river and in between those I had AAKK cracked by 444.

As I said the table was extremely loose and the guy with 44 raised to $3 and got 2 callers - I re-raised to $9 with AK and only the initial raiser calls - flop comes A49 rainbow - game on I think and I can already see the $ signs ticking over - he bets pot - I flat-call - the turn is a K, he pushes all-in I call - he flips over 44 and the river is blank and I wave goodbye to the $140 pot. So overall Wednesday was a $135 losing night ;-(

Anyway, suppose it's my own fault because I've withdrawn most of my roll recently in order to chip away at my credit card, which means that I'm just short of being sufficiently rolled to play NL100. Profit for Feb hovering around the $25 mark, which is annoying as I was over $200 up after a couple of days into Feb.

So back to the NL10 & NL20 this weekend for the Credit Card grind, will be happy to get up to $200 profit for the month now
