Grinding For Dough - A Loafers Litany.

Sigh almost a compliment but you're just another one who wants to see the schnozz.

I thought we could of had something special. Now I hope longy outdraws you 1 short of the bubble in a sng (paul ho will then bust longy).

Games played     150
Profit                  $88

Pretty annoyed with myself. Couple of hours from the end of my session i had a mega rush of cards and got some nice stacks. I then picked up AA six times in as many minutes and lost every one. It wasn't the fact that i lost which tilted me , beats are part and parcel of these games , it was the fact that every time bar one it was the only guy at the table who could bust me.  I lost to AK , 10 10 , AQ ,KK and QJ off twice. Took me quite a while to compose myself afterwards but managed to close out the session in a better frame of mind.

[boldie]

Rigged IMO, it's always the guy that can bust you.

Seriously..profit's a profit after something like that happens. Keep it up mate.

[thetank]

There is no cure for tilt although contemporaneously listening to 'Life Your Life Be Free' and cracking one off might work for you.

You never know.

Friday...........as mentioned earlier we helped my sister move house.Everything went smoothly , only one mirror got broken - well done Dad !    Suffered a bit Saturday with sore shoulders and back , been a while since i did any manual labour.
Played a 100 game session on Saturday and lost $230. I just can't seem to win on Saturdays for some reason.

Monday...150 games played
               $217  profit.

Really pleased with the way i am playing , making the correct decisions in the majority of situations. Will be looking to include a few more $12s next month.

[booder]

Losing 100 buyins hurts.
 Not physically obviously but mentally it hurts like hell.
  Anybody that plays high volume understands variance but it doesn't make the pain any more bearable.

Played 150 games Tuesday but despite managing to cash in the same number of tournys as the previous session , finished $245 down.Only managed to get headsup in 4 or 5 and the majority of cashes were 7th , 6th and 5ths.

Wednesday was even worse. After managing just 3 cashes in the first 60 games , i stopped regging , ending up with 73 games played for an abysmal loss of $381.
Stopped regging after this hand, i guess this shows how i am running.

Busied myself after the session by hoovering and dusting. Then got an old tin bath to wash some heavy duty curtains (liberated from a skip) which i am going to turn into a throw for the sofa.

Spent the evening with an old mate who i hadn't visited for a while.He used to play the sit n gos on will hill back in the day so he looked over a few hand historys with me and was quite compimentary about my play , not finding any leaks was good for my peace of mind.

Thursday i spent six solid hours loading up historys on a replayer and going through them and could find no glaring mistakes so just gotta get my head down and grind through the rough times.

Played 100 games today. Was down to the last final table....2nd would break me even for the day , a win would make it profitable.

Asleep halfway through can 3 - Standard

Asleep halfway through can 3 - Standard

Managed 5 cans. A far cry from the alcohol intake of my youth but since i turned 21 i have probably been drunk once , perhaps twice. I was a heavy drinker through my teens regularly spending Sundays virtually comatose.Eventually i tired of the constant vomiting and feelings of nausea after a session and after a mega binge on my 21st i consigned large alcohol intake to the memory bank.I learned to drink to contentment , not to excess , something i practice to this day.

                                                                                                 Weekend Review

Football

West Ham v Liverpool.

             Not too disappointed in the result in all honesty. This season is a work in progress for Kenny. In general the team is progressing well , the old passing game has returned and most of the players are showing their true form. Suarez looks tidy and i think he will gel well with Carroll. A centreback is an essential purchase before next season and the dead wood has to be got rid of...Ngog (will do a decent job in the championship but isn't going to cut it in the premiership)....Cole (really excited by his arrival but underwhelmed by his performances-his wages off the bill would be a massive positive)....Skrtel (looked great when we first signed him but has gone steadily downhill)..Poulsen (not good enough-end of).
     Shame about the injury to Kelly , he has been one of the positives of this dour season.
    Hopefully Grant can keep the Hammers up , i think he has had a rough time and has done pretty well with the squads that he has inherited.

Arsenal.

          One of the few teams i would pay to watch.So much talent in the team but they invariably come up short when it really matters.It was clear at the beginning of the season that they needed a top quality centreback and keeper , i don't know the internal policies with respect to transfers but could the failure to purchase these two positions ultimately lead to Wengers departure ? Stranger things have happened - 5 years without a trophy is an awful long time and even though they still have opportunities for silverware this season , you wouldnt bet against the Gooners coming up short yet again.

WTF 1

       Rooney.  Guy has so much ability but the brain cells seem to be lacking. What the hell was that elbow all about? Losing him for a potential 3 or 4 games at this stage of the season will have Fergie tearing his hair out.

WTF 2

     Ashley Cole. Another who seems to be lacking in the upstairs department. Taking an airgun into your place of work sure seems like a good idea.

Cricket.

    What a game.Swinging one way then the other.Looked like England were gonna cruise to victory after Strauss' superb innings and to have all three results possible at the death was just amazing.

UFC 127.

    Pretty decent smattering of fights.
    Mark Hunt v Chris Tuchscherer.   Chris got rocked early and was badly cut. The referee had a look and Chris said "i have something in my eye".  "It's your eyelid" replied the ref.  Yuck.
    Michael Bisping v Jorge Rivera.
   A lot of bad blood coming into this fight. Bisping always looks vulnerable to the straight right but managed to avoid too much damage before stopping Rivera in Rd 2, although the illegal knee by Bisping in Rd 1 definately harmed his opponents chances.The middleweight category is a bit short on real quality at the minute and we may well see Bisping making a title challenge in the near future.
   Jon Fitch v BJ Penn. Disappointing fight.Neither guy really got going and it would be real sad if this was Penns  last fight.

  
  Session with Ray tonight and back to the grind tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Steve.

I usually "get" song lyrics, even obscure ones, but this whooshes me.

Me too,although i don't think it's always neccessary to "get" the lyrics to appreciate the quality of a song.

 I've heard people say it's a song that is bemoaning the corruption of a young girl by society, I've heard that it's about a girl who he sees and watches but cannot help, save nor understand, I've heard it described as a gay anthem. And perhaps it is something of all of these things as it portrays a sense of confusion and bewilderment, somewhat depressed and perhaps even slightly depressing (which is in stark contrast to most other Cockney Rebel songs).
