A Testing Return

Will considering the day ive had i should probably be livid but im remarkably calm, just gutted really.

Day started bad when i lost $100 first hand top pair vs AA on cash on tribeca.
I opened a full tilt cash table up too as im gonna play more satellites on there so had deposit some cash. 2nd hand i get A3off in the sb and manage to pay off a $300 stack on a flop of A83 !!!

I recovered some cash back on tribeca (but eventually lost it this evening) before next getting 64off on full tilt in the sb. flop 643 i bet 14 called by one, turn 5 chk chk, river 4 i bet overpot and he raises as good as allin. I pay off 55 and decide its one of those days but i was determined to still play plenty of multis later.

So on return to the computer this evening i have played many multis. Busted a $100 24 player AKstd vs QQ to have gone 4th/10. Played mansion $100 and got a good stack but decided to rock it still as the tables were so loose. Lost AQ vs AK just before bubble but then hit AQ vs KK to double. Eventually next time i was called i lost J10std vs AA for a pot to have gone 14ish/39 but at least i got something back ($350). Busted the £55 12k A9 vs A8 when all the chips went in on a 800pot flop AJ3 only for a 8 to river, pot was a reasonable size of 5k at 100,200 blinds but not to be.

And finally the sickest of the lot has to be the $100 er about 25 players full tilt WSOP sub to $1000+commission final. After an early double KK vs 99 preflop level 1, i never had my chips allin in a pot preflop and called and managed to get to last 4 playing 5k when this happened: Pays 2 x $1000 seats and $480 to 3rd.

I raise to 640 on the button with As7s and get called by sb (20k stack) and bb (5k stack) , other guy left in has 1800 only. Flop is a juicy 9sxsxs and bb bets 1200 which i call. Turn is a 9x and he bets 1200, i push him allin which he calls with Q9off (no spades) and the river is a sick 9 !!!
SICK , sickest pot of the day by a mile, almost guaranteed the next level if that held being 10k vs 20k vs 1.8k.

So instead of moaning about having to stay up until 2am to play a $1000 WSOP final for the main event 1/12 on paper chance for a $12000 package i think it is, im left shellshocked and probably will head to bed pondering what could have been a massive night.

Big postive for the day is i have set up laptop and desktop next to each other and its making it remarkably easier to play 4+ multis at once. I know this will stop me getting bored some nights so will definitely use this tactic more often.
