Quad Shootout

Signed up for the quad shooout Stars runs every Wednesday with a few minutes to spare. I have seen it replayed but could never play as it is on too late. My first table had only three players.

My second round I was completely card dead. Let me repeat, I had nothing. I was eliminated in 3rd place when I pushed KT and CL called with KQ. No help gg me. Very frustrating game. They were ok players 3 handed, but I couldnt do anything more. I stole so much to stay afloat. I never got dealt better than A7 or 66. Not cool.

Damn...

227 enter, 22 left, all in preflop.

The pot would have put me in top 5 with around $750 for first. Instead I have a blog entry entitled Damn...

Tonight

Urggggggg

Played 4 multis tonight

$10 on UB
$5 on Stars
2 x $10 on Full Tilt

Ultimate Bet I go out with AT v TJ on a A89 flop...woulda been in top 3 if I won....30th of 155
Stars I go out with 55 v KQ preflop...woulda been in top 20.....75th of 1500
Full Tilt number 1 - Go out with AK v 22, 22 hits a flush after I hit 2 pair. Woulda been in top 20....185th of 900
Full Tilt number 2, I go out with K4 v 99 when I was shortstacked and I needed to push.

Very disappointed with the UB, I was playing well, and the Stars I was shortstacked alllllllll tourney, but I squeezed and dodged my way through, stealing when I needed to. The final hand came when habitual raiser made it 3 BB and I pushed with 55. He called with KQ and hit. I had to take a chance sooner or later but it didnt work out. Frustrating, as if I won that hand, I could done some damage.

Next time.

Update

I am sorry to anyone who is checking this blog (Cambo) and not seeing anything. I have been laying low at home with not much urge to do anything. But I am exercising quite a bit and playing some poker as well, so all is not lost.

Since my last post which was some time ago, there have been some developments. My work permit was issued 2 weeks ago, and today, I received word that my entry clearance visa to enter the UK was granted. Finally. I am hoping to fly back next Saturday May 26th. That will be almost 6 weeks since I left.

So that is good, my fiancee is quite glad. And after talking on the phone two or three times a day everyday, my parents phone bill is glas as well.

As far as poker, I have been jumping around site to site playing cash and SnG's. I am playing ok, nothing major but recently I started playing multis. Last night I won the 1500 guaranteed on Ultimate Bet for $450. With 350 runners, it felt good. And this morning I won another multi on William Hill, but there were only 50 some runners for $120 or so. I also took 5th of 55 on Ultimate Bet today in a $10 tourney for $45. So I am having some mderate success in multis and I am really enjoying them.

So I am gonna play some more multis until I leave for the UK and I will post more now that I know I am leaving soon and my future is no longer up in the air.
