No more live poker!

Yesterday I woke (at 9PM)to this on facebook;

Lizzie Gull; youre a total noob as blogs.

Yes Lizzie, I suck at blogging. The main reason for this is because I've been living a vampiric life in the last two weeks of June through to Yesterday, generally getting to a game at about midnight (where the games seem to be best) and leaving anywhere between 8AM and 5PM. To cut a 3 week story short, I run extremely good at the start and ran very bad at the end and have realised that I really hate live poker, and as much as I love Pot Limit Omaha, full ring £1/2 playing 20 hands/hour is putting me on extreme monkey tilt.

There was a festival at the international, and the cash games were so good I only actually felt the need to play 2 of them; the £100 HA for fun and the £500 Main event today. My bustout hand was kind of sick, but aside from opening pre from UTG+1 I don't think I won any money reciprocally;

£500 Live Freezeout, Blinds 100/200

1 fold, UTG+1 raises to 700 (20k), 3 folds, Hero calls in CO (7500 effective) with AcAs, sb calls (about 7k) and bb calls (10k)

Flop (2800); KcTc2c
UTG+1 bets 1500, Hero raises to 6800 (all in), 2 folds, UTG calls+1 calls and shows Qc9h

Being a 90% favorite is nice, them binking a 3 outer is not. So I decided to come home and sulk for several hours; which is very unlike me normally, I just think I was upset that my table was so soft and I missed my gaping spot to pick up a bunch of chips.

So as of today, Saturday 4th July, I have decided to play a bunch of hands online. I am boycotting live poker until I have played 100,000 hands online, and im showing a decent, sustainable winrate. So it means lots more blogging for all of you lucky people. I'm also going to get to the gym 3 times a week and shall be setting myself personal punishments every week I don't comply with this.

Probably gunna be up in Cambridge on monday for abit of Monday night fez, hopefully I shall see a bunch of you guys there.
