Agghhhhh CASH IS FRUSTRATING

Recent things to speak about, was playing in the super sattelite for a seat in the 320 euro buy in game on celeb poker, 20 seats available (I finished 24th) Could have been worse and went out 21st :D

Not really playing many tournaments just now, had other things on when the MTT's I want to play are on, so I have resisted jumping into other ones that I don't really want to play in.

On the cash scene, it really is 2 steps forward then about 10 backwards.

I sit and grind up, a few buy ins. Then stuff like this happens, now I consider myself to be in control of myself and resulting emotions and actions (well far better than I previously was!)

But this hand would tilt anyone!

What is it with these online donkeys that cannot fold AK.

Before steaming and going through more money, I decided that this idiot and this play was gonna cost me just the 100 euros (£80)

So i logged off and looked at the hand, I don't fault my play whatsoever, maybe some would say calling the 12 euro re-raise pre-flop is bad. But it was 5 handed and the player (like most shorthanded was super aggressive so I'm atleast seeing a flop there)

It comes Q high rainbow, he bets, i re-raise, he goes all in, i call.

Now if he has two pair, set or overpair here then good luck to him.

But the speed of betting, and i min-raised on flop to make look like i was making a play, knowing that he was going to atleast re-raise/if not then go all in (which is what he did)

That is why i insta-called, for the donk to have AK and hit a J is just brutal (bad play rewarded)

What is it they say, I got my money in ahead, I'm up in sklansky dollars, long run blah, blah blah.

Next live tournament I intend on playing is the £150 freezeout in the circus casino Edinburgh (40 min clock 10k starting chips, my sort of game, SHIP IT :D)

As for online cash, back to the drawing board (but it has a hole in it the size of my fist now :D)

Good luck
