Disappointing Night Online

A quick update for the record. Played 8pm till 3am so far tonight, registered for $1,200 worth of tournies and still alive in 2 of them. I’ve only managed 2 cashes so far for $358 and $325 so it’s probably a losing night as I’m so tired now. This is the last online session before I focus on live play for the next 3 weeks ahead of Dublin. I placed 10th in one of the FT tournies, so I was close to getting the big bucks, but the blinds became monstrous and I pushed on the button with 57 off and was called by AK in the BB. I continue to run like a dog on Stars - no hole cards and missing the flops. I kind of knew it wasn’t to be my night when twice in the early tournies I flopped set under set to bust me.

I’ll leave you with the hand below, observed by McDee at the Gutshot cash game on Wednesday night:

Player A raises with 5 2 (Gutshot signature hand)
Called by Player B
Flop 5, 2, 2 for a flopped full house (but with 2 clubs)
Check, Check
Turn, is another club
Bet, Call
River is another club
Bet, Fold

Player B who folded: “I had the flush”
Player A with the house: “I thought so, that 4th club scared the crap out of me”
