Just take a break away from my main game, I can still enjoy poker and could still build on my BR

Last week end I was getting very wound up over the way things were going in cash, felt lost and just knew it was time to take a break.

First up comes a £2 cash prize from Tuesday night's mayhem freeroll.

Whilst I didn't manage to cash out in Tuesday night's 1k freeroll it wasn't so unlucky for me tonight as I managed to win £4

The story doesn't end there because I also had the mayhem freeroll to play as well and great thing here was I went on to the final table and won £40. The most eventful part was the battle for survival between myself and another 1BB short stacker because we both knew the person to exit first would have £30. The 1BB stack had doubled his stack twice meaning I would be the one forced in but thankfully  I had been given KK and 99 at the perfect time to help double up 1 BB chip stack, things did then look bad when the blinds were increased forcing what looked like SB fold becoming another forced all in but the 43 i had on that occasion was fortunate enough to get ahead of A2 meaning it was the turn of the other shortstack again who wasn't as lucky with this forced all in as he was with his previous two meaning I was now ensured of 5th place.

WTF is with the 93bb 3bet pre?  That is Ryan Spittles, right?

Look forward to seeing this one talked through on a strategy video on the SkyPoker youtube channel!

Fair play for the call btw, not sure I could commit my stack with 77 in that spot.

Time was running out ryan knew a double up was needed otherwise the master cash challenge was lost. Doing a min raise I couldn't imagine the meaty having a story hand himself because the pressure to win makes sky tv guests make some very lose calls even the pros admit to lose calling when they get shown!  When ryan went all in himself I saw it like an MTT player going all in with 10BB. Needing a double up he could have anything wheher it be upper pairs, a flip, smaller pair or raggy broadway card as was seen in this case. Even if I were to lose I knw my chipstack was still at the same level it begun and my whole intention during these periods is pure fun.
