Well ive not got any higher than the 200nl game these past few days which means its not been going to well! To be honest ive run so sick it hurts!!!! Its the age old problem: ive have QQ and lose to AK, i have AK and lose to QQ, run this 15 times or so and you see my problem, i cant win a bloody race to save my life! Ive also gone sick on the playing side this week, i played 6,000 hands sunday, 6,000 hands monday and 11,000 hands yesterday, thats 2 months worth of play in 3 days, i am sick!!!!!!! Yesterday was the most hands ive ever played in a single day by a mile it was also the swingiest day ive ever had, going from 10 buys in down too 8 buys up back to 7 buy ins down, and apart from two huge hands it all comes down to not winning a race. Now playing 50/50 for full stacks can be seen as very fishy play but all the hands were played again LAG regular players who if you dont play back at will run you over, if their 3/4 betting me light, well sorry but im going to 4/5 bet them lighter- this often leads to many 50/50s and well yesterday it wasnt to be! Then theres the two HUGE pots both against a player who id desribed in my notes as a "gimp", the word gimp to me once spoted in my notes means that the player is a pleb, a muppet, a fish, all rolled into one. The first hand we are both double stacked, on a Q 2 8 board he moves all in and i call with KK, hes got 88. Against most players i cant get stacked here not possible, but hes a gimp so i can, i do and im wrong- such is life!! The next big one, hes got 400bb and ive got 300bb- this is i think the biggest bb pot ive ever lost (thank goodness its 200nl)! Flop is Kc8d10c, all the money goes in, ive got AcQc which by my maths means ive got about 300,000 outs against his 8c2c.......................needless to say his hand was winning at the point of entry and it stayed that way at point of exit! That one pot would have put me as good as level- but such is life!!!!!!! The real positive about this week is that i cant possibly lose anymore races and thus should see a massive up swing in the coming week...........i'll let you know!!!
