These days it doesn’t take much for me to become totally tilted…I think I really should take a break, like I already said on twitter. I acted against my own advise and played some today and it didn’t take long to get tilted again. First I got tilted in NL HE as a calling station dumbsack couldn’t do much wrong, hitting miracles left and right. I threw away the next match. Then I switched gears and played an Omaha MTT. The ultimate tilter. I held my ground and was among the chipleaders for most of the way. Then a hand came down were I flopped the nuts and lost (the main pot, but won the sidepot). If I win that pot I’ve got 7-8x the current average. Instead I lose the mainpot, but I’m still in the top 10. The break comes up. A few hands after the break I’m out on a total tilt move – after losing 2 small pots in a row I push my stack in with air and obv get called…I’m still wondering what made me go over the edge on that one…I guess it was the sum of all the bad hands before that, I just couldn’t take it anymore…but what do you expect in an 8$ four card bingo MTT? Nevermind raising big coming in, you’ll get called anyway. Get to see a lot of flops cheaply, flop the nuts and get payed off – unless you get unlucky. Easy…if you got the patience and can keep a cool head. Both of the latter ran out on me after slightly over an hour. Sick. Oh well, I can’t beat myself up too much about it…and this time I’m sticking to my own advise. I won’t play another hand over the weekend. De-tilt 101. I’m outta here…

…it’s all skill, start with the worst hand and call all-in. That’s the fishcake mantra and I’ve met a lot of fish tonight. Good news, but really bad news as they got me…got me good…I think I puked a little in my mouth during some of the matches…I’m out of here to cleanup…gl at the tables…

Weekend pokher action

Had some fun on PokerStars over the weekend, nothing major going on…some headsup matches, some double or nothing turbo SnGs…did well for the most part. Apart from that we had another home game on saturday – yesterday. It was pretty entertaining, twelve donks saddled up and we were off an running. I didn’t take extensive notes, but there were some nice hands going around all evening. One player flopped a set of kings twice, another flopped quads twice, I flopped a set of aces once and got payed off. To make a long story short after a looong time of play we were down to the bubble…it burst and we were in the money (3 handed). I took out the only remaining female player who had been torturing me all night with some nice runner runner action, etc…and we were headsup (we pay out 50% / 30% / 20%), so at least second place money was set, which equals quadrupling your buyin.

Headsup was pretty quick, three hands and it was all over…I lost. Rewind. First hand, my opponent goes all-in on the button. I fold. Next hand, I go all-in, he folds. Third hand I’m on the button and my opponent announces all-in preflop, well, it’s my turn…hmm…but I wanted to push anyway with my QJ s00ted. So alright. He shows down 89 s00ted. Board comes 8TJQ8 and I’m busto…oh well…it was fun…alrighty…I’m outta here to watch some premier league III action…enjoy the pic dump and gl at the tables…
