Deja Vu

New month and the downswong has begun!

It's sort of weird how I know it's here and it's coming, but all of a sudden none of my draws get there, my big pairs either run into sets or overcards on the flop and I meet resistance. All standard stuff, but it signifies the monthly downswong has begun!

It started when i was chatting to Snake the other night, a few bad calls didn;t help, but I guess the frustration got to me a little. The bad players in the hands with the weirdest cards, but always seeming to have just a bit better than me!

To be sure, i didn;t feel like playing a long multi-table sesh last night so, I just fired up one single juicy table and 110 hands later I am down over 2 buy-ins. All stuff that tbh I could'nt do much about. Hand one for about 120 BB's what where I turned a flush vs a set and we got it in only for the board to pair on the river. meh. Hand two I have AJ and I get it all in vs a monkey on a AA5 board. He flips A9 and ofc a 9 hits the turn. Sigh.  (btw the hand 2 hand was vs Hakkemail, remember him snake!!)

So, pissed off and knowing that there would not be much I can do I just closed the table down and called it a night. I won;t be able to play again now unil saturday anyway, so the break will do me good.

As it stands, despite starting off well, I am now down $35 for the month. Plenty of time to grind through it and I have been there before, only this time I have hopefully minimised my losses a bit better. Here is to hoping it doesn;t last too long!

I also had about $50on Absolute, so rather than fack about withdrawing it  I played a $40 6-max SnG. I ended up finishing 2nd, so I played a $50 one and got heads up in that. The HU was a good battle actually because we were still fairly deep, but how about this for the closing hand...

He opens button, I have AJs and figure I am going to see a flop as before this we were both 3-betting and being quite aggro pre, so this would disguise the strength of my hand.

Flop comes TAA.. weeeeeeeeee

I check, he leads out and I raise, he thinks then shoves. :o) Fastest mouse click call ever by me here?? lol

He only flips TT!! hahahahah FML

board doesnt bring me a J or A on turn and river and i get another 2nd. How about that for an action flop?

Quite enjoyed it actually and considering these are $50 SnG's the standard wasn;t much cop. Most of these guys were playing loads of pots early doors, basically playing a SnG like they play an MTT. I just bided my time and when i did move into push/fold mode my image was so tight that they were insta passing to my shoves..lol.

Anyways back to work tonight :o(

Hope you are all on a nice juicy upswing.
