18/27/45/180/360-man SnGs

I twenty tabled the 10c 360-player NLHE SnGs last night. (Well, I loaded up twenty of them but busted a few before a lot of the others started). But I played 20 of them in total for a 20c loss. Ran bad at the only ft I made (ran AK into JQ pre for the chip lead 8-handed). Came 8th. Only other nice run was 15th where I ran two overs and a fd into top pair and couldn't improve. Was surprisingly fun to be playing for such small amounts of money again. Though I wasn't taking it lightly, I even folded the best hand once just to make the money. Ship it.

Just tried something similar, but upping the stakes a little. I 18-tabled some $1.20 18/27/45-man tourns with a couple of 10c 360-man ones thrown in and an expensive 180 player $2.20 one for thrills. This last one was sick. Great tourn, $100+ first prize. Came 7th despite being comfortable chip leader 7-handed. This sick hand for a massive chip lead with 7 left did most of the damage and I tilted out soon after:

I minraised because my computer was being slow and it's all I had time for but, given how crapshooty it was by this stage, I'm not sure I mind the minraise much. Anyway, standard river.

About $20 profit in the 18 Sngs I played but should have been more obviously, can't remember anything much interesting happening (guess tables were always popping up over the top of the horrendous outdraws I was putting on people).

Really don't feel like playing any Omaha at the moment. Think I'm scared of losing. Will probably just 18-table these sit and goes until it gets boring.

Inabit.

well i was bound to start playing shit after that last post wasnt i. been running shit too. anyone who shows that amount of hope/optimism/arrogance deserves to get cunted over imo. in the two days after the post i had an 8 buy in upswing followed by a 17 buy in downswing. then spent $65 in a NLO8 $5 rebuy where i didnt win a single hand during the rebuy period. ridiculous. things started to look up at the start of the freezeout when somehow split a pot with a moron but departed shortly after. winning zero hands in an hour and a half of a rebuy depressed me. my desire to play seems to completely disappear when things arent going well so being the bad loser that i am i havent played very much since. definitely a bad loser. $300 down since my last post. guess it happens. worked some long hours out in the sun at the cricket last week which was probably the saviour of my sanity and my roll. was good to be out of the house having fun with friends and other people instead of in the house losing money to enemies and other people. not sure what my plan is now to be honest as my omaha libido has gone through the floor. got about $500 in the roll just 18-tabled some small stakes multi-table sit and goes where i ran bad and broke even. it wasnt fun. downloaded loads of films recently may carry on just watching them instead of playing poker or maybe ill get out of the house a bit. tv is shit only things i watch now are the secret millionaire which makes me smile and mock the week which makes me laugh. millionaire is in ladywood near me next week which should be interesting. drive by shooting there the other day. money well spent. rented a couple of french films, the brilliant amelie which was nominated for five oscars in 2002 i think and a fucking hilarious film called le diner de cons. fucking hilarious. watch it if you can. loads of foreign films i want to watch some for the second time but have been struggling to download them with the correct subtitles if anyone knows a reliable way of downloading foreign films please tell me. though renting them from the library gets me away from the computer if nothing else. my total profit since the $15 deposit 72 days ago now stands at $1196.03 and is getting less impressive by the day.
