Well at least it was consistent - lost at every level!
Ended up winning just 11 of 30.
The temptation is to blame variance, but hard to lose that many in one night & not do something wrong. Just seemed to lose every 60-40, even when I dominated both ends, I still managed to find ways to lose. Towards the end, I'm pretty sure my game suffered, too, I started getting all nitty & defensive.
Started off with a purler, when I flopped a boat on a 7-4-4 flop, I had the a pair of 7's AND the 4, BOOM. Matey Boy (who did nothing wrong, I might add), had the case 7, with an ace. Turn & river came running Aces, pfft. Awesome stuff!
Anyway, no point chuntering, it's done now, & I have 5 days left to get back into profit, & avoid my first losing month. I'm 'rolled ok to stand a night or two like that, but for those on thin bankrolls, that has to hurt a bit.
Had a GREAT game against Hotty, jod67, & another chap, £11er & we got to 400-800. That was one of the 2 @ £11 I won. Don't think we need to discuss the 6 I lost.....
Joddy is a great lad, Glasweigan I believe. Does not play conventionally, fold equity & stack sizes, or "big stack v big stack" never bothers him, he just plays most every hand, limpy limpy cally cally. Fearless, utterly fearless, & I love playing against him, as he is a real test. Anyway, he must have got the lot last night, good luck to him.
See you later.
The £1,400 threshold? Can't even see it now, it's way over the horizon. The £1,300 line is more of a worry now.
WARNING - If your eating (Mac) you may want to look away now! Well you asked me on the show the other night to send a selfie in ! Here it is, a few hours after fitting. Posted by VespaPX

Wonderful news, well done Mother!
You must be a better player than The Daughter, imo.
For those not familiar with Vegas, note the time that Tourney started - 11am!
In Vegas, MTT's start every hour of the day, all 24, you can ALWAYS find a game starting somewhere, even at 2am or 3am. It's like Online poker live.
Very well done Mother, & if you get chance, please keep us updated with further stories from Vegas - you have a lot of friends here.
This is the Mirage Hotel, where Mother is currently staying.

Quick shout-out to "retropete", who told me last night that he reads this every day.
You the man, Pete.
There was blood on the walls last night, I got proper beaten up, worst night I can recall in an age, lost a bomb, woe is me, bla bla bla.
But we don't want to hear that, do we?
This photo (below) suddenly appeared on another forum this morning. It was the name of a Team of my friends (?) in the 2009 WSOP "Dream Team" thing.
Feel free to mock, all of you.
Except Macac, of course, who described this Diary as "Miserable old g it talks about concrete".
No need, no need at all for all this abuse.
Well you asked me on the show the other night to send a selfie in !
Here it is, a few hours after fitting.
Yes, i do read this every morning , the things I've learnt about concrete and trains is astounding
Thanks for the shout out - even got me to write my first forum post .
cheers
pete
