Poker and Stuff - Geordie Styleee

Hit 3rd in the $2+R on stars. 500 max entrants, I had one addon, no rebuys. $414ish. Happy. And then Gerrard scores...COME ON!!

Rebuys just ended, so it's fairly early in the tournament. Think I was right to lay down PF.

Well, as it's the weekend and the world cup, I decided to play some small MTT instead of STT. Just fancied a break...and the SnG haven't been going well. Think I need it. 

Be a bit of a bugger if I run deep for the England match, but that's life...

:)

Just adding a quick hand, I knew I'd be beaten with 4 in the hand.

There was also a hand which I can't find in HEM (strange) that was AKh vs AKs all in. Of course he flops a flush. That was 3s up. Such is life!

Thank you again for the reading and any advice. Don't criticise too hard though...

What do you usually do when you've had a bad day at work. You play a round and lose money. Do you play again? Do you give it up as a bad job and chill for the evening?

0 x 1st, 0 x 2nd, 2 x 3rd, 1 x 4th, 2 x 5th, 3 x 6th, 0 x 7th, 0 x 8th, 0 x 9th

Not entirely sure what to do with myself now...help!

I decided to play another round of 8 $2 SnG

2 x 1st, 0 x 2nd, 1 x 3rd, 1 x 4th, 1 x 5th, 1 x 6th, 1 x 7th, 1 x 8th, 0 x 9th

Down $1.35 for the day. Better...and pleased with my heads up attempts. Still leaking from too many places. Will review HEM tomorrow when I'm feeling more alive!

Played 19 games of $2 SnG tonight. Down $4.95. Not good.

2 x 1st, 3 x 2nd, 1 x 3rd, 2 x 4th, 3 x 5th, 3 x 6th, 3 x 7th, 0 x 8th, 2 x 9th

Some gaping holes in my game. Not a happy bunny really. One of my 9th is listed below. I still think it was the right call despite being first hand of the SnG. That's poker! I'd rather be 80/20 all day. Hey ho
