Wow...so depressed
I didn't know poker could make me so depressed.
I came to London very confident of winning a lot of money in the cash games. I got off to a great start after all.
Day 1 I was up 5k. After day 10 or so I am down £1k. Today I lost about £1k at 5/10, only a buyin I know but I don't think I was playing too great, infact fuck it, I was playing fine but running awful.
I went and played 1/3 to pwn some shit noobs and get some confidence back but the opposite happened. Imagine running the worst you ever have in your life. Now imagine twice as bad because that is how it went for me tonight. Hollllllllllllly shit I'm not even going to talk about hands.

Total:
Dan: -£1k
Davey: running EXTREMELY well today and nearly back to level! woop.

Day 6- Get me out of here!
Had an awful start to yesterday. I started my session around 6pm and got pretty destroyed. I'm not thinking straight with all of my decisions and it feels like everyone is bluffing me. Yesterday sucked because I got check raised all the bloody time putting me in really tough spots.
Got a free meal voucher and decided to eat as much as possible in the casino, that nearly put me to sleep! Wasn't in the mood to play after that so went to the Empire to get drunk instead.
As it happens Paul Zimbler is trying to break the world heads up record for longest heads up session ever. It was 6am so he needed a game at the time. I agreed to give him a game. It was very clear that he was quite tired already. The timer showed 39 hours. I've been awake for 40 hours before and it was bad, I remember falling asleep on the motorway, I won't be making that mistake again.
I agreed to donate £100 to the charity and we played for £50. 3 hands in we get it in on KQJ with my AK vs his K8 and shiiiiiiiiiiip the monies. I told him to stick the £50 in the charity bin out of good will.
The games were really shitty last night, not much dead money in 2/5 or 5/10 so Dave also quit early with a small profit. I think he is pretty frustrated still being in the red, but only just.
In other news, I am leaving this crappy appt tomorrow and going somewhere nicer. It has a gym/swimming pool and free internet so I can use my laptop more.
Totals:
Dan: +£2800ish (I lost my cashier slip lolz)
Davey: -£800ish

Day 5
I've been pretty bored of blogging on the iPhone. Hopefully i'm moving to a new appt with Internet access tomorrow.
I've some fun things to report on, but I'll save them for tomorrow.
Another breakevenish day, the games were no way near as good as they have been, but I did have a guy at my table who called pairs "doubles" LOL
Davey still struggling, he swears he's on his A game so I expect him
to shine through soon.

Day 4- drunk Omaha!
I spent the first 6 hours of yesterday grinding 5/10. I was plodding along nicely until I really butchered a couple of hands. I also had an OAP pull the sickest bluff off on me, I don't even want to talk about the hand as it haunts me!
I was down a little until I stacked someone with 67s vs AA. He slowplayed preflop which cost him as I turned a straight on a 2458r and got it in.
We went venturing for a Chinese restaurant at 10pm for an Hour before giving up and going for burger king :(. On the way back you almost couldn't walk back to the casino as it was some kind of ramadan celebration. People everywhere.
I got back to the casino and wasn't in the mood to play so got drunk with 2 friends and played 1/3 PLO! Somehow managed to win £800 as some Omaha noobs stacked the whole table and it turned 3 handed with my friends!
Davey played until 7am as he had the juciest game! He was pretty gutted to break even and not get out of the green. :(

Me- +£5060

Day 3- confidence rolling
I decided to play 2/5 for 10 hours today to get some confidence going. I totally owned it for a while but the game died after 12. The fish got big stacks and they tightend up.
Nothing to report on really. Hitting 5/10 tomorrow.
Total:
+£3679
Davey was at my table all day today but was totally card dead! He started slacking at the end so I told him we'd quit
Davey:
-£1100
