Hey mate
asarge I went up to one guy I thought was you, he was wear  8) dark black sunglasses.
Did you play at the Vic ?
I went into about 48th - Rubbish ! and you would think that as I was running bad I would steer clear of the cash tables, nope felted twice there to !
So last night felt good went to Gutshot slow played ah kd got an all in call from one player after the flop £24 called he had two pair  qc kc but I had two pair on the flop AK held up.

YEAH BABY I AM BACK ! :"(

Well no over two and half hours lost, but with this week I still feel good as I no its my bad play not better players beating me. On a Poker break for a week, no reading,talking or watching poker just relax !  8) ooops typing poker lol

there is no way to ever deal with losing. unless you win a tournament you will always feel like there is something you could have done different. over time, i have learned that all you can do is get your money in good, if you make a mistake then try and learn from it and make sure you dont do it again.

over time, you will always end up a winner, you have good days and bad days, its just gambling in general. it works for me and i dont seem to do too bad at the game  :). Although i expect i will never win another hand again now i have typed this in lol. If you play 1 tournament with 60 players in a week, as long as you are winning 1 every 7 or 8 months, you run at a pretty good strike rate, always remember that you cant win and probably wont win every week!!

Hi,

I"m the guy you thought was asarge! But I wasn"t.

Saturday was good fun but angry with myself for tilting after making what turned out to be a good fold. In the end it was one guy who took all my chips over three separate hands. Got it in with  qs qh v  8s 8d - would have been a nice double up, but alas the  8c on the flop meant it was a brutal exit instead...maybe next time!

Do you guys know who won?

Matt

hi all,

i ended up winning the competitoin, was delighted as well because it was a really difficult competition to win. If you remember me, i was the young kid who was sitting to the dealers right (or seat 9) on the final table. did i play a pot with you because if i did let me know, i would love to hear some feedback

Thanks all
