I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure him calling the turn isn't great. At least his river play prevents me from bluffing, pity I had the nuts.

This was pretty funny because he snap called the flop shove, I'd have felt very owned if he had a random Ax hand.

I managed to finish up 5 buyins yesterday, however I still finished the day -2K as while I was winning at 2/4, 1/2 and 0.5/1 I was loosing at 5/10. The highlight of the day was winning 5 buyins at 0.5/1euro in 50 hands (see graph). The month has gone pretty well, although I've been loosing the last couple of days. Hopefully I'll have an end of month heater.

5k hand fail

I've decided to book the day after failing to hit my 5k hand target. I still managed to play 4k hands and I suspect that if I'd run worse I may have carried on. I'll have a look at my HH's tomorrow morning to see if there are any interesting/funny hands to post. For now here's the graph for the day. I'm going to relax and watch a film now.

Struggling for inspiration

As I mentioned in a previous post I've been lacking ideas for new photoshops. In an attempt to find some inspiration I watched of my favourite films (see below). As good as it is, it didn't help me think of anything, I'd still recommend you watch it sometime, although it's quite hard to find. I'm planning on playing 5000 hands on Monday as I've been slacking this month in terms of hand volume. I'll post a graph of that day for anyone that's interested.

Car crash poker

I've been away in France watching the Le Mans 24 hours endurance race for the last week, hence the lack of updates. This years race was particularly eventful with several big crashes (see below), thankfully no one was seriously injured in this crash, it's a testament to how well designed modern race cars are. The race was eventually won by the Audi of Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer only beating the works Peugeot team by less than 20 seconds, pretty close considering they'd been racing for 24 hours.

Before I left for France I had one of my more swingy days, playing a fair bit of 5/10 where I found myself being involved in two of my biggest ever pots. The first of these was pretty tilting as I had been sitting on 3k 5 minuted prior to the hand. Twister got his stack after we got all in with my top set Vs his combo draw on the flop, I lost leaving each of us with 200bbs, a few hands later the KT hand happened. I decided to take a break for lunch, haircut and a few miscellaneous errands.

Feeling a little de-tilted I returned to the tables for what I hoped would be a glorious rostucko session, however the first thing I did was loose a flip at 5/10.........not the ideal start. I did think about quitting for the day but like a true Wongaman I continued running my stack up on a 5/10 table. The turning point of the day was the hand below (my first 4k pot). As most of you know I'm a sick lag so I decide to bluff with KK pre (obv repping AA) anyway I got lucky and flopped top set. I was going to open shove the flop but decided to milk the villain. We got all in on the turn when he tried to bluff me off 88, his bluff was good as I'd have snap folded anything but KK there. Luck for me I had the nuts.

Shortly after this hand I achieved the impossible and won a flip Vs Beyne  while on another 5/10 table a fish bluffed off his stack Vs me in a 3bet pot.

 

Struggling for photoshop inspiration at the moment, I may get off my ass and add something.
