Sigh.

Well i hope you had a nice Christmas and New Years. The wishes come a bit late but better than not at all! Had a manic one as usual, but well used to it with the gaggle of kids in the house. Not much poker over Christmas, but have been slogging away on the omaha tables on Ipoker. Not over $1 $2 mind you, im not THAT nuts. Have had some good days and some bad, but have built the bankroll up nicely thanks to some tasty hands. And fish. Musnt forget them fish. Speaking of fish, just back from The Fitz, where i sat down to play a lil cash. Put €150 on the table instead of the ususal €50. Hadnt much luck when i decided to move to the €50 omaha. Sat down and managed to play 2 hands before the table broke, in one i had Kh 7h Jc &c, limped in for €7, and the flop come Jd Ah 10h. I check call a bet of €15, and the turn brings a 7s. I check again and player b checks to player c, who makes it €50, i go all in for last €80ish, and player b goes all in for few hundred, player c insta calls. Turn is a 3c and i missed the lot again. Two lads showed 89 for chop. One did have a queen high flush draw, but maybe i should stick to the hold em. So im moved to one of the hold em games, didnt see any hands until Stewart comes to deal, and he gives me Q 9, my fav hand 3 times in succession. I catch a straight and get paid by some bloke who had called me with 55 on a rainbow flop of 10 j k. Watch same bloke check the nuts, and bet out when he nothing, so when i get Q9 again on a flop of Q 9 K, im pretty sure im ahead when he bets €20. I go all in for €90ish and he calls, saying "this is a stupid call". Turn is a blank, river is a jack and i wait for him to turn over a ten, which he does, accompanied by a 6. Left Fitz and came home. One of my new years res was not to get angry at the table, so im glad i kept one resolution at least. Now i just gotta find a gym with hunky instructors!
