First fortnight of the ‘teens
Bit of an ugly first two sessions for 2010. The first a £200 hit that really should have been a decent win after I lost a massive pot shoving a 14-out draw into Smalls and missing. The second a planned small limit drunk game that went a bit overboard and cost me £450.
Had a few days of solid sober poker planned for the second week of the year, but after twisting my knee in a double class of spin & ski circuits at the gym I had to blow-off Wing Tsun, and so decided to spend the evening at the Empire instead.
Lost my first stack of £200 on the second hand played, shoving trips with AJ into what turned out to be a rivered flush. However from there it was all upwards as I changed tables and started to run like a God. A few very well timed steals and a couple of clever plays, but the majority of the win due to catching a world of draws, and finding a lot of spots against good second best hands.
Extract from my SMS boom/doom monologue to the Baron copied below if you’re interested in the details.
First hand doom. Stacked with AJ trips vs flush. Net-200
Boom. Back in credit. Manage to get JJ to pass pre with an oop reraise with my TT (weird given stacks), then stacked the third short stacked player shoving blind before flop dealt. Just now flopped KK top set but no major action. Net+50
Stacked a regular with bottom set. Moved tables as they were all just too solid, also starting to catch on to the numerous small pots I stole. Net+150
Boom. A7 two pair on flop called by AJ. Have two fit chinese bird on table now, keep up the studying bookworm. Ps. I’m not here late, so stay home. Net+400
Booooom. Made correct thin call with 4th pair on river. Next hand check-shoved flush draw & overcards and hit. Net+550
[Much later] Still going, have 1100 in front for 400 start. Table full of loose passives, just one danger stack. Conditions too good to go home at moment. Net+800
Boom. Flopped nut flush vs king flush vs bottom set and held to stack both. Running rather good it seems… Net+900
All the loose passive players busted. Made one wrong step at end for 200 loss with flopped bottom set vs a turned straight. Don’t think could have got away from it. Final score +708
And so net/net for the year I’m back into the black, banking a moderate £58 profit for 2010.
