Issues in the real world have started to resolve themselves and I think the peace of mind is starting to filter through to my poker. Ive said it many times these last few months, and im going to say it again! My game is as good as its ever been and I think at last its starting to show online. Though the last week has been pretty swingy it as also been a good winning week, so much so that im on for my biggest winning month of the year and with Christmas fast approaching the timing couldn’t be better. Talking of timing, well that’s one of the reasons its been such a good week or so, along side playing well ive also got that very pleasing problem of good timing. One hand that shows this more than most is this one: Playing $500nl HU against one of the regs, im pretty card dead and basically getting run over in the early exchanges. I then get 44 on the button and raise, the flop is Q Q 9, I bet he raises, now the paired board is always a good spot to bluff and its also a good spot to bluff the bluff! So I re-raise, when he calls I have to be beat, that is until the 4 on the turn. The money goes all in and he shows Q8, now talking about the right move at the wrong time turning into the right time! The week though has had its moments of trouble to, in 4 hands I flopped top pair that turned into trips on the river, another problem im more than happy to deal with! Problem was that 4 times I was facing a flopped set that rivered a fullhouse, but the real problem was that 3 out of the 4 hands I KNEW I was beat due to the river bets, and each time I paid them off, the standard case of “I know im beat, but lets calls just to make sure im right……….”. As always with this game theres always room for improvement. On the live stage I was meant to be at the Vic this week, I wanted to play the £500 omaha hi/lo on Thursday but again the real world got in the way! Im still hopeful of getting down there later in the week for the £3000 main event, though I havnt got the money or the ticket to play the event yet ( anyone wanting to stake me, please free!!!!) there is a £350 super sat on Thursday that I hope I can play at the very least..............still plenty of time for me to turn this year into my year of milk and honey, im ready for the promised land!!!!!
