extreme poker

Longest session of pro week played so far, but only a short posting to make – unfortunately 8 hours at the table where nothing really happened.

Bookended my night with two bad decisions. Opening bad decision was to head to the same venue as last night – unfortunately despite that it was a Friday there was no real action to be had. Everybody scared to play anything approaching a big pot, and so with a fairly mundane set of hole cards the hours dragged by monotously.

Had a chance to make a big score around 3am versus a big stack I’d been targeting. However despite that I managed to get him to put his stack into the middle with 73 vs my K3 on a 33Q flop, the second queen on the turn invalidated my lead and we chopped an £800 pot. Rather a shame.

The bad decision at the end of the night? Out of sheer boredom raised blind to £10 from the button, picked-up four callers. Was bet into on a flop of T84, peeked down to reveal the monster that is T2o and deciding to shove for my stack. Managed to run into a slowly played QQ, and all my good work of the previous hours undone and turned a very small £100 profit into a £100 loss.

Anyway though, back to the more important matter of the pro-week success criteria:

8  hours played, not terribly enjoyable, three errors all boredom induced, don’t feel I adapted well – really should have moved on to a different venue as soon as I realised these were slim pickings. I guess I am somewhat looking forward to playing again tomorrow, that’s if I don’t score my stand-in friend-date for Valentine’s night.
