Live dive

So after the Omaha I had the APAT main event on Friday and The B'pool monthly £100er on Saturday. No good in either as far as cashing goes, but some good hands and I do feel I am becoming a better player at the moment, I can actually feel my NLHE live game changing and becoming more LAG and positional.
The APAT game had a mixed starting table with a very good young Irish lad that was raising in position 80% of the time and continuation betting almosty 100%. The table to his left were weak/tight and just folding him a big chip lead. He did venture out of position a couple of times to take me on and we had a few clashes including one where I 4-bet him all-in with just an overpair of JJ on a 3,6,10 board. I would never do that against anyone else when we are playing so deep and was very pleased with myself. Had to endure a 3 minute stare down though !
But the game was never going to be mine and I had my chips in on pre-flops all-ins 4 times and didn't win one of them. I lost with AK v A8, AQ v 99, AQ v J5 and also QQ v 77 when the flop came down 977 for quads. Still I had played fairly well and wasn't too unhappy.
Next day I drive up to Blackpool and arrive a few minutes later to find KK in my first hand. I limp in from mid-pos, it gets raised by guy to my left to 200 and 2 others call. For some reason I decide not to raise it up as I feel it still needs a bit of pot control here. Anyway the flop comes down A high and when the SB bets I can get away, which is just as well as it goes raise, re-raise , re-raise , all-in , call !!!! guy on my left had AA and SB had AK !! I had got away with KK v AK v AA on my first hand and only lost 200 chips..........Phil Helmuth or Phil Iver would have lost a lot more there me thinks. I was well chuffed with myself and then played nicely and got my stack upto 30k and thought I was in for a good run as the table was fairly weak, but a couple of mis-timed raises and then card dead for hours meant I left in about 50th/195, when I pushed in a BB v SB battle with KQ and he called with A4.
So my live casino record is now blank for 9 games and over £600 of entries. It also means I am probably going to have to post a loss for August as online has been a bit downhill the last 10 days or so.

Good news though is that I have qualified for the second of my 3 target games on Pokerstars WCOOP and that is the $320 PLO Hi/Lo, so just the $109 8-game to qualify for now. Looking forward to these.


Also was impressed with a packed DTD last week so Sneaks and I now considering going for the monthly £300 deepstack in October, should be good!

Stay Lucky Punks, I haven't been.
