I am now just a win away from stepping up to the $10+1 in the SnG challenge so making progress on this one. It is nice to be able to write something positive about poker instead of my slides in 1/2 LHE. I should have been up on the levels last night. I was multi-tabling two SnG $5+.50 and on the bubble in both tables and sitting 3rd on both. First tables I get AA, 4th who had just slightly less about 2BB (75/150 blinds) then I raises, I re-raise and he goes all in. I call, he shows TT against my AA. Flop comes ATT. Ouch. I was out pretty soon after.
On the second table about two hands after the hand above I get AhKh, and flop my flush with T85, 2nd stack goes all in. I think for about 2 seconds, 3 of a kind two pair? He flips over AT, turn and river AT. Damn you Poker gods...I turned off the 'ol PC and made a Gin and Tonic, played some Civ 4 and beat the nasty Incans into a pulp. Then feeling a little jilted by Poker played another SnG for 3rd before going to bed. So that made the nights sleep a little easier.
In other news I am probably not going to be able to play the DADIII on the weekend. Some mates are heading out to Royal Randwick for some racing action and that for me takes precedence over Poker, I love my horses and taking money from bookies. Punting is my first love. I bet most weekends in the lead up to carnivals and during, breaking only over summer. The great news is that I can now legally punt on Betfair, the best place for odds as it is a betting exchange allowing you to also lay bets, not just back.
It is also leading into the Autumn carnival so important to see many lead-up races with all the big names resuming their campaigns....Giddy up
