Had a poor day (pokerwise) yesterday, played in the morning before going to the football. Didn"t run too good.
I lost a decent pot early with this hand. I actually don"t like my own shove on the river when I looked back at it but don"t hate how I play the hand.
http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/4574939Check/call is better on the river here though. I probably still have to call if he shoves the river as I have put too much in there. Can"t see too many hands that I beat that call on the river though.
A couple of hands later, this happened. I am not at all sure about if I should fold to the cold 4-bet. I think without reads I possibly should.
http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=12090.0I just gave up after this one as I would have gone on tilt
http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/4574940I know that my opponent in this hand plays Ace rag and an ace is a large part of his range here. I therefore think my check behind on the flop is good as I don"t want to bloat the pot at this point as I probbaly need to hit a flush to win the hand. Pretty sure I play this hand fine as well so not too worried about a bad result on the day. Honestly don"t think I played too badly just one of those days

Bit annoying to be honest but I have not run that good this month and that sometimes happens.
Gotta put something non poker related in here today
Went to the football yesterday, definately am going to need a coat for this soon, it was feeling pretty cold in just a football shirt. Still at least it wasn"t raining like today. The game was Newport County Vs Southport with Newport trying to stay top of the division. It started badly and Southport looked a much better side with one of their wingers being extremely good, Newport Countys goalkeeper, Lenny Pidgley (best keeper in the league a lot of experts say) made two fantastic saves to keep us in it. Southport took the lead after about 15 minutes from a penalty and were well in control until about 25 minutes in. Newport then picked up the pace and came back into it. On about 35 minutes our forward (Danny Crow) was about to kick the ball into the net when he was bundled off the ball. This is a clear red card and penalty which everybody except the ref saw. The ball goes lose to Aaron O"connor who then appeared to be tripped inside the area still but that was not given either. The whole team was clearly extremely unhappy and the crowd was going mad. The refs always get stick but this was at a different level. 5 minutes later he misses a clear handball in the area. I was starting to think this was some kind of wind up. At half time everybody was REALLY annoyed, it wasn"t just the normal thing you get, I was getting concerned that some of the guys on the terrace were actually going to try and jump onto the pitch and did the "come on we"ll get the job done in the second half approach".
Second half Newport were much the better team but some more strange decisions and the fact the ball just would not go in the net made you think it just was not going to be our day. Then finally in the 77th minute our top scorer Aaron O"connor gets the ball just inside the area and struck it into the net, the ground went mad as it felt that losing this game would be an injustice. The next 15 minutes were one of those times you can"t really describe in words as the whole ground got behind the team and they pushed forward looking for the winner, the singing and chanting was something you had to just be there too see. Stoppage time arrived and Subsitute Ben Swallow struck the ball from 30 yards. It seemed to hng in the air forever, until it landed in the top corner. The whole ground went into total mayhem. It felt that an injustice had been avioded and the spirt of the team to come back and win the game late on was amazing
The atmosphere in the pub after the game was like Red Bull, we still didn"t like the ref though. It is still a long season and we are realistic enough to know that it will be really hard to stay top of this league but for now We are top of the league.
