Ok Enough Of That Lousy Month

27th in the 10k .....for gods sake 1010 vs 99 and a lovely 9 high flop , had a fair stack too , would have been top 5 if that pot held.

Highlights before that have to be the button raiser (playing a 15k stack) going 600 to 1800 and i went 11k allin with 85off when there was 32 players left. Showed the bluff after he put he folded 88 lol. 2nd time he raised on button when it folded to button so had to send a message out and did lol. He also mentioned he was qualified for WSOP so i felt able to make a move on such a player that had been bigging it up for a while. Mind you any half decent player would call there , just need some balls lol.

Earlier i did get lucky when i had QJ (no spades) on a J76 board (all spades) in a £12 50k sub qualifier. Got called allin on flop by AA (with ace of spades) and 77 , looked this one up and its about 1.7% for me to win lol. Turn = 6 , River = jack and amazingly i actually did qualify and make use of the luck for a change which i think has been lacking this last month. Luck without a doubt is even as always for the month , its just which spots you get the luck in that decide your real fate.

Sixpacs (played 13) profit +£71

June was destined for no big payouts in any multis and a very poor standard based on profit alone. Profit after everything is a poor £293 , better than a loss anyway :)) .
Ok after very little play in Scotland i thought i might do better but ive just not got deep into enough multis and in the few that i have , i just havent had my name on any big cash at the end of the day. Also wasnt a mile off more package wins , again luck in the right place required.

The sixpac experiment was going well until the bad run a week ago, i think i played too many thunders in the end which do rely on too much luck. Roughly for the month i only made £250 from 107 sixpacs ranging from £11 to £109 but mainly £22 or £33 ones.

Right lets move to July and see whats in store. I have entry to the 50k on Sunday and also have paid for entry to the $50k added tournament also on Sunday. With England playing tommorow will be poker free and lagers a plenty. Sunday i will play those games above as freerolls and see how bad the hangover is as to whether i play much else.

Flights are booked for 27 July to Vegas , just need to print e-ticket thingy, sort out how im getting to/from London, get some insurance and decide how much cash to take which is a bit of a mindboggler. Basically the further i get in the WSOP the less i will spend out there so without knowing that in advance its a grey area. Maybe £600 and just withdraw with charges if i need any more.

Think i will continue to play a fair few sixpacs next month but i think i maybe should vary a bit more and play a few more 10 player ones and probably a bit of cash when im totally against stts. I believe the WSOP is 9 or 10 handed so thats another argument for playing more of that type of game leading up to it as well.
