The good solid up swing continues as i record another good set of winning days. I talked about pluging a leak earlier this week as being a major factor and running "honest" has helped, but also a major reason i feel for the up swing as been me moving from six tables down to four. I still feel six tables is where i most comfortable when i completely switched on and in the zone, but when im not 100% i think four tables is where i should be at!

Last couple of days ive seen my fair share of badbeats, and yesterday i was going to post a blog with a list of hands showing just how cruel the game is and how im the unluckiest player on the planet, sod it heres the hands anyway, and bloody hell how unlucky am i ?

Q9 3 way pot on a flop 10c Jc Kh, i get it all 200BB deep against table loon, he snap calls with 10 J, turn J. AA v KK all in pre, i flop my set, lose to runner runner straight, and then there was the standard floped set, all money in against a 7 high flush draw, followed by the flair player check raising me all in with his belly buster again my top two............wonderful ! So yep, its been tough, but then as i check over my hands i find these two hands that i convinently forgot about from earlier in the day, first hand very standard, all in KK v AA..........he flops his set....................and i hit runner, runner straight, of course as it was me doing the suckng out i out played him rather then being lucky. The second hand was against a reg who i have LOTS of history with, on the button i standard raise with KJ os, he calls. Flop is Kd7d10c, He checks i bet 3/4 pot and he massive over bets all in................a $60 pot and hes bet $500. Knowing the player as i do theres three kind of hands he plays like this, weak king, flush/straight draw or the set, i snap call and hes got 77................dooooooooh!!!! Anyway runner runner straight (again!!) and im happy to let him rant at me for an hour or so! Im very quick to talk about being unlucky but not so quick to mention the luck, and from a positive mind set point of view its got to be better to talk about being lucky rather than unlucky??? I mean, what a great problem to have to deal with..........seriously how LUCKY am i??!!!!............................long live the luck!!!!!!
