45th in the WBCOOP

Well i did alright last night. I hit some nice hands early doors and got a nice stack built. I was running in the top 20 with 200 or so left and was around 30th when knocked out. I ended up losing a big pot all in pre with AQ v A6 and the flop came 966 then the very next hand lost the rest A10 v KQ when the flop and turn came 10 J x A. Can't argue though!!! I think thats a $16 SCOOP entry. I don't know why but i seem to do well in these tourneys. The first WBCOOP qualifier last year i came 3rd but then didn't come anywhere near for the rest of the week! The timing last night wasn't brilliant, i ended up finishing about 2.00 and had thought about sitting out and going to bed until I thought what was the point in that, after beating 1700 or so to be in the last 50 i should try to win. I really think my best game is MTT. I still make mistakes but on the whole i think i do well. It's frustrating that the only roll i have is on Virgin so can't play a whole load of MTT and multi table SNG.

Below are a couple of hand histories from last night. Notice I have the same hand in both and lose both times, I think the most important thing i should learn from these is that i'm playing AQ badly. the 2nd time i thought i'd be up against a similar hand to the one i was so i suppose i read that right, the first one i don't think i've seen before though! It was one of those situations where I relaxed thinking i'd already won the hand on the turn and it made me do a comedy double take when the river card came!!!

See everyone tonight for PLO....maybe
