Yeah, looked a penalty on the replay

Don't think it was tbh, missed replay though.

Also just lol'ed at Okazaki's substitution, 2 short of a premier league record as he ALWAYS gets subbed.

I'd love them to win it here rather than the possibility of them winning it if Spurs lose to Chelsea. That would be a bit of an anti-climax

Next week at home vs Everton would be cool.

Definitely.

Read a story the other day about someone who put 50p on Leicester at 5000/1 and then cashed out for 55p after the first game of the season. He must be rather sick of himself

Results for the weekend so far. Just about to head down the pub so that may be me done till tomorrow.

The last of the big gamblers.

Has to be the sickest of all the Leicester gambling i've heard so far this year haha.

I got it wrong, it was actually 45p he cashed out for.

Crazy hand to start the session today. What a time for villain to bink his 1-outer though

Stop now and go for a run

UL, Husker.

That first one is pretty brutal. The KK guy going to have an interesting looking ev line after that hand.

I actually didn't tilt till I took your advice and went out for a run (in the car ) to my local ice-cream parlour only to find out they no longer do hot doughnuts

He's not the only one. Graph for the day:



It felt as though I had to c/f a lot of gross rivers so the results weren't as bad as I expected. There's a sense of frustration though that the tables were very fishy again and I wasn't able to get a bit of momentum going.

Thoughts on this?

Villain is playing 26/21/9. He's stealing 61% from the button and folds to resteals 62% in that spot. He folds 47% to cbets (38% on the button over a sample of 8)

Not sure you want my 2c, but it looks fine to me. Sure he can have a few combos of T9s, some sets too, but I don't think 8J/68 would be in his range if he folds 65% to resteals.

Plenty of JQ/QK/JT/QT etc type stuff that's pretty marginal for him, so if he's capable of folding a pair it looks good. The busted spades might make him hero tho, especially if you wouldn't fire 3 streets with an overpair and/or you don't 3bet that light [SCs and stuff].

What a game that was between Chelsea and Spurs. It's incredible there wasn't a sending off but I'm pretty sure there will be a few after the game.

Okay, pokers over for the day. Decided it was time to sit out after being rivered yet again

Despite all that I almost got back to even for the day:



I was helped along the way by an aggro-tard who feels he's got to try and outplay me postflop everytime I 3bet him.

And finally a hand for the lols. That awful moment where you've raised the turn with your straight and then realised on the river that you don't actually have a straight

Villains starting off pretty aggro on Party this morning

Another frustrating day getting owned by the fish. It's not particularly huge pots but just a continual run of beats or spots where I'm having to fold a ton. I got stacked twice by regs in flips but that doesn't really phase me as I know that's not where my winrate should come from, they're basically just spots where we're passing money around (QQ>>>AK). In saying that, I did have the pleasure of a reg going ape-**** after I 3bet him with K4s and ended up with two pair on the river against his KQ. Somewhere in Romania a mouse was probably smashed off a wall

Here's a flavour of things lately:

1) Thought he may have had Ax on the river

Let's hope I run better at the dentist

Not a fan of Radiohead's recent stuff, infact I only have 2 of their albums in my collection, but I really enjoyed this video. It's filmed in the style of an old kids programme (Camberwick Green) but is crossed with the Wickerman.

Something rather spectacular (by my standards) happened today. First of all, my results at FTP:



Then my results at Party. It has my biggest ever losses (in terms of buy ins) in such a short session and I was around 350 hands in before I'd won a pot at showdown (for all it was).



I won't post the all in preflop hands I lost but will list them below:
QQ < AA
AK < QQ
QQ < AK

The two hands I posted above the 'Radiohead' post are also in there and I also had the following two:

Villain in this hand is 4betting 29% in BB v SB and I told myself I was going to go with my hand on any favourable flop. Not sure if this was frustration creeping into my game but given how things are going for me at the moment...
