Yes, I know that some of you will be surprised to see a new blog already - but playing good and solid equals good results and when the good results are there, it is so much easier to report... A few years back, there was an English player blogging away - I believe his name was Ed Hollis and you might have followed him too. He was a very honest player who went on an unnatural heater and won a lot of money - and naturally blogging away alongside... However, the heating went sour and he started loosing (and loosing and loosing). The impressive thing though was that he kept blogging, telling about his downfall which was literally from millions of pounds to selling the house, borrowing money from friends and family to being absolutely broke! I admire this guy in some way, because it takes disciplin and guts to write about your own disasters!
Anyway, things have been good lately, so fortunately I do not have to go the Ed Hollis-way just yet. I have just started my winter holiday (one of the good things about being a school teacher) and I started out Friday by entering the 4K Guaranteed 10€ rebuy at 18:20. It normally has about 200 players with plenty of Turks and Italians to be valuable. I made it to the Final Table and when we got down to 3 players we looked at the deal, which would've given me about 600€ - but the deal was not accepted by the CL. Soon after, I looked down at 77 in the BB. SB just called and I went allin, which he insta-called with 44. Bad thing was that he catched a runner-runner flush to bust me... Immediately hereafter, the two remaining players made a deal giving them both 800+ € while I was sitting with my 3rd place price of 399€. A bit of a downer after being so close.
Needless to say, I had to try for revenge in yesterdays 4K. And it went well indeed since I won it in a 4-way deal giving me 700€. I think I played well in both tours, even if I was a little lucky in the last one just at the beginning of the FT. I was in 8th place and tried with an allin with AJ only to meet KK in the BB. However, the board showed five hearts and since none of us had any of these, we had to settle for a split pot
.All in all a good couple of days to kick off the holiday and hopefully I can follow up with another nice results in the following week - one thing is certain though... You can find me in today's 4K at 18:20 - hehe...
GL at the tables to all of you out there....
