100,000 hits who would of thought that 5 years ago anyway I digress.
Back at it last night with a trip up north to Newcastle for the last 25/25 of the year, would of preferred Sheffield tbh but circumstances dictated it was not feasible.
Plenty of players from Teesside made the journey up and a few were on the starting table, Gimac showed his intentions early on 5 betting v someone and showing the 2 of hearts, him being on the big blind to my button wasn"t ideal, but we didn"t clash often.
I had all 3 of the big ones early doors, had to fold QQ but made a bit with KK and AA v I don"t know what, but it was difficult to build big pots, so starting stack at the break.
Serial limper limps UTG, he is 3 bet, the 2 callers follow, I have KJ clubs which I re raise to 3k, nearly gets through, the guy who I was least expecting to calls, I c bet the Ace high flop no clubs, get reraised then I fold like a wimp, perhaps I was bluffed, who knows, doubt it, it"s now difficult to make any moves now with stack depths, just bide my time and wait for good spots.
I then go on a downward spiral, and after a limp and a flat, I jam 15 bigs with A 10, we beat 77 so we are back to 30, raise 97 diamonds in cut off get re raised then re jammed , ran into QQ and AK, obviously I fold and would not of got there, win A10 v A8, back to 20bigs, lose with AK v whatever, folded to his river bet, they always have it, and he showed to prove it.
Interesting spot, a raise from UTG, then a flat by UTG 1, jam by UTG 2, I am covered by all, I have 10 10 with 18 bigs, horrible spot, I fold reluctantly, 99 v AJ, flop 68J 10 (aaaaargh), river 7, I am a genius, lol, I was rejamming if the AJ hadn"t jammed all in so I would of been a goner.
Last level and I have 22k, and last 5 hands are announced, these were going in at some point as 12 bigs doesn"t justify the journey back up, UTG raises, ohh hi there KK, just jam as I am jamming all my range here, we hold v 10 10, AJ folded, lucky for me as it was an Ace high flop.
The last hand 4 hands are dealt and tbh non were likely winners but would of gone in if it wasn"t for the Kings winning.
So it"s back up the A19 with 49k on Sunday, a slight increase on the journey back to Leeds last week, again though it"s the first level and a half which will determine how the day goes, I can live with that, chip and a chair and all that.
Boro continued the upward trend, Southampton and Liverpool in the next 4 days, think Southampton is definitely winnable, Liverpool happily take a draw, but if we lose both it"s back down the table we go which tbh it"s going to be like this all season as it"s pretty closely bunched at the bottom, it will go to the wire, hopefully we will gain enough points before the last month of the season because our run in is not an easy one.
Not going to say one time, whatever will be will be, looking forward to singing Carols with everyone on Thursday evening.
Nice touch to see the £30 refunded last week, not expected, but I did give it back in a sat to the above tournament, keep running AQ into AK over the last few nights online and today I folded AQ to a limp, then a rejam for 20bigs purely for the reason I would of been put on perma tilt, villain who i know said he had AJ, I prefer to believe he had AK so I that"s what I believe he had, Good fold me. Will report back on Sunday whatever happens, thanks for reading, run good, be lucky, stay healthy.
