Some multi form at long last

After taking a bit of a break from multis during May (I did play the odd one or three) I decided it was time to make a comeback...glad I did. I havn't played all that much this week as I've been busy with other things so have only played a handful of mtt's at most each night. I started the week off making the FT of the $16k on Betfair, only to frustratingly go out in 7th when I ran AJ into AQ. The following night I came 6th in the $11k on Betfair going when I reraised allin with 55 and was called by AK with A hitting on river, if I hold there im chipped up and id fancy my chances of winning it. I also came 4th in the $20k on Crypto on the same night, my exit hand escapes me for now so obviously I had no complaints lol. I've also been playing the $100k on Mansion but dont think I've got above my starting stack in 3 attempts lol.

On Thursday night I decided to download Blondepoker to have a look now that they were no longer on the Tribeca software which I hated. I saw a $7500 guarantee with $100 buyin due to start, so decided to give it a bash and duly won it for $2250 and FT'd in the $5k as well. Now when I have one decent result I tend to follow it with another and with the £100k on Crypto the following night I was hopeful!!

I started off pretty well and increased my starting stack from 4500 to 9300 just after the first break. Seeing KKx3 and QQx2 helped a tad. Then I did a chunk of my stack with KQ on KQT board, I should have passed to a check min-raise on the turn but couldn't help myself from calling and he had AJ for the nuts. From that point on I was toiling a little, and my run of cards had well and truly dried up. Thankfully I was getting most of my steals through so I was albe to keep my head above water, however eventually the blinds were starting to eat my up after I got re-raised a couple of times and had to pass. I managed to win 3 coinflips when all in which helped me survive but I just couldn't find the hand which would give me a decent stack...I was having to grind away.

Basically from 100 out I was shortstacked with only 20 paying but somehow I managed to make it despite being a little short on the bubble. I then managed to acquire chips when I re-raised allin with JJ on my BB and got called by KQ, a Q on flop looked to seal my fate but runner runner straight meant I was back in the game. That JJ was the only big PP I saw in the last 4.5hours of the tourney, I evidently had used all my cards up early doors.

I managed to make it on to the final table in 7th in chips and had to lay down 99 to a re-raise from a tight player which left me a bit short. I then passed 77 in my BB to a raise in MP as I didn't fancy racing at best. I then was able to shove from the SB and button to give my stack a much needed boost. However the end was nigh as on the next round with the blinds now 2k/4k I was toiling a little and a laggy player made it 16k from the cutoff, I have AJo in the SB playing 32k. I'm still not entirely sure about this but I push and he calls with 66, I miss and its game over and I cash for £2k. I got in through a £60 satellite so not a bad return. Bit sick though as I'd have fancied my chances of a big pay day had I been able to get some chips but it wasn't to be.

Anyways I'm off out to celebrate my birthday and no doubt spend some of my winnings.

Adios.

FFS

I am a retard. I've just played possibly the worst hand of my life to exit the GCSOP on Crypto. I'm not even going to embarass myself by posting the hand but needless to say it was one of the worst I've ever played. I made an error on every street. So instead of sitting with a decent stack with 70odd left im busto. I'd rather get shafted with a 2 outer on the river than go out playing like a muppet. Sick! Finished 7th in the $16k on Betfair AJ into AQ bollocks. Waste of a night.

I was down at London for badbeat final but I'll post about it later as I'm not in the mood atm. I'm off to stick my head in the oven.

Good night.
