Frustration overload!

Strange couple of days since I last updated this.

Couple of final tables to report 4th 8th and 3rd in £20 multis, the 3rd was this afternoon and most frustrating as when we get down to 4 players BT think now is a good time to screw my internet up! I get back in with 3 of us left and me on 500 chips! oh well £150 for it and on top of my tax rebate makes that a pretty successful day. Just doubled in my latest £20 multi so we'll see if that needs any updates during this blog.

The main point of today's blog is a lesson - Don't get involved with big stacks that can cripple you!

At the casino last night for the £10 rebuy tourney. 103 runners, and I hear there's £5,000 in the prize pool, not bad, at all. I play solid as always in the rebuy period and get myself up to 9k at the end of it on my first £10, don't bother with the top up, as whats another 1000 chips.

Soon double up when I flop nut straight and a guy flops two pair, nice guy, felt sorry for him really, then make a great call on a guy who check raised me all in on a flop of J T 3, i'm holding queens and take him out! puts meon 26,000 with 40 players left, looking very strong really when I look down and see AK of clubs. I raise this up to 2k pre flop and it's called in 3 spots, the flop brings Jd 3d Ks so I have to bet at this and whack 8500 into it. The guy with a 24,000 stack re raises me all in, now I can fold here and still have a very playable stack but I call this bet, he's AQdd and rivers a flush for a 50,000 chip pot! if that diamond hadn't come I'd have been flying, but I didn't need to make that call as I had enough to keep playing and maybe get my hands on the £2k first prize. Instead I played blackjack all night which was also fun!

Back to the net and all's been going ok really, quite a profitable week, although I let that muppet strak loose on my account and he blew £63! If he sells his ears as scrap metal though hell get the money back!!

Right I'm going back to finish the 8:30 £20 multi, might hop in the 10k as well see how I feel!

Good luck all, seeya soon.
