When the lambs strike back

Well you can never take anything for granted can you in this game although I have played for long enough now to know that. But after my $17k win in the 25-50 the other night, I came back down to earth with a bump last night and again today.

 After getting ahead by a further $9k then I became complacent and paid for it. I got rammed up the rear in one humungous pot with one of the best players on the site. Nothing I could do because it was a cooler. The guy was a chronic floater and I flopped the nut flush and he went runner runner with a small pocket pair and goodnight lil’ol me.

 So the $9k went and another $10k (four on tilt) and suddenly my feet are back on the ground again. Still the game is fantastic and is the best game all year to my knowledge at the 25-50.

But the bad players are calling too much. You just get yourself into too many sticky situations when you do that out of position. There has also been a definite tendency amongst certain players to get all in more often than your average high stakes NL game. Like I said the other day, I really hope that these guys stick around.

Had a fancy to try my hand at HU again, I did a big chunk in the last time that I played it. Although at the back of my mind I feel that I have dicipline problems in this form of the  game. But this has always been my way, I get something beat and then it starts to bore me so I take on soemthing else for another challenge.

A new passion of mine is trading on the betting exchanges and I have been doing quite well but this is a poker site so I wont be going into that too much. Well I am going back on the 25-50 later to see if my “pals” have returned.

Hope you all stay lucky
