Gutting

Just busted out of the stars $55 Daily 80k Guaranteed 18th, im obviously very disappointed. Was 4th in chips but then ran KK into AA with 22 players remaining crippling me, thats poker I guess?

Also just busted the $3+r rebuys about 40th in sickly fashion, some guy with 15bbs limp/called with Q6s, outdrawing my AXs to cripple me. Im not writing this to complain about my misfortune because I know everyone hates to hear bad beat stories, but I think its an accurate indicator to how devastated I feel right now, winning only $300 or so tonight when it should have been a $3k+ night. I also went deep in the $22 at 5PM and busted about 60th. The good news is that im feeling more and more upbeat about the way im playing, and I know the 5 fig score is coming soon.

Only hand of note was in the first hour of the stars $20Cubed, note its still in the rebuy period and therefore keeping a stack and remaining in the tournament to take the massively +EV addon.

Do you guys raise the river here for value/play any other street differently? In retrospect I should probably have bet more on the turn, but other than that im fairly happy with the way I played the hand.

I think im going to try and put in some volume in on Saturday as well as Sunday this week, I just feel like I should really be putting the hours in and i'll be rewarded for my good play and good volume.

Anyway, aside from poker it's been abit of a hectic week; had 3 different essays in for this week, hence the lack of poker nights. All 3 essays are done and dusted now, feel abit nervous about getting them back as I don't think I quite did my absolute best, but luckily it's only first year and I need but a pass for next year. Ive got 3 more essays in for the first week of December, and i'm definitely not going to leave them as late this time (not that it was my fault I left them late this time). I'm gunna get cracking on one this weekend/week and try and average out one per week till Christmas.

That should just about do it, thanks for reading as always. BIG UP THE KENT HOUSE MASSIVE
