Cruel Cruel game

Painful ...... out in 10th place ..... flop a straight with two diamonds but i have king high flush draw..... call a minimum bet from two players ..... next card out one player bets the minimum one calls and i reraise three times the big blind .... one calls and the other folds ...... next card out is a diamond and the first to acts goes all in i have a king high flush draw now and have to call ... and go all in with the remainder of my chips only to come up against a ace high flush draw ..... and my game is over ...... im happy with making the final table but not to going out with that hand ... But poker can be a cruel game ..... made $54.80 but first place makes $739.00

Another break

Another break and still in it ......down to the last 12 and im in 9th with 45,000 chips .... the chip leader has 127,000 .... and the blinds are 2,000 , 4,0000 .... hope to make the final 10 ... but delighted to make it this far considering how many chips compaired to the chip leader i had at the end of the first hour.Ok its back on.

Another break

Another break and going better.... in 8th place out of 33 ... with 36,000 chips ... chip leader has 66,000 chips ...... need to make the top 20 to be in the money ..... Blinds are big now 600 , 1,200 so we should be loosing people fairly quickly

Update

46 players left now have 14,800 chips ... chip leader has 52,000 ... going ok

Time for a update

Out of the Americana game ...... and at the break in the omaha rebuy with 5,800 chips .... chip leader has 37,000 ....... not to worried yet ..... believe it or not in this game i usually only have this many chips at the break ...... oops game is back on .... there is 70 players left.

Coming up in 10 minutes

Ok have two games about to start one is a game of Americana ... small game under 20 players ... and the other is $10 omaha rebuy generally about 115 players .... This game is a tough game .. for the first hour there will be some crazy play and some people will have massive chipstacks compared to others by the end of the first hour .... so it can be difficult to both make the money or win .... anyway ill report back later.

Ups and Downs

Its being a week of ups and downs ... more downs though ..... had my biggest win of the week last night in my 2 euro omaha rebuy ... a good game ... and after a 30 minutes heads up we made a deal and finished the game ... bringing in another 107 euro ... other than that had 3 other finishes in the money in this game during the week .. but all were for under 20 euro and like most of the games i played this week ... both in my 2 euro and my $5 games .... they were frustrating games where i got all my chips in with the best hand only to loose on the river ..... but the hard part was that for most of these games the person who called and knocked me out made terrible calls and just got lucky .... this probably is the part of poker that takes the longest to get used too ... and you definitely don't feel like writing about it when it happens ..... eg why i haven't posted this week .... but from now on ill just grit my teeth and post ..... as painful as it may be.
