Poker Gods Follow Me

I managed a couple of cashes in June, but not enough to turn a profit, so the win / lose / win / lose cycle continues. However, I did pick up an extra special follower to the twitter account so maybe a change of fortunes is on the cards!

We are the force behind your poker profits & losses. We dealt you those aces. We cracked them. We runner-runnered you. But we also gave you that huge stack.

Polo Towers Vegas

All done and booked now. I got a good deal staying at Polo Towers on the strip, so that will be HQ for my October Vegas jaunt. Right across from the Aria so should be perfect for stumbling across the road in the early hours after another tournament bust out. Looks like a nice pool, but somehow I doubt I,ll be in it.

Turbo tournament exit.

This was a bit of a quick tournament.
 I picked up alot of tasty hands in a short period, but it didn't exactly work out as planned..
Got to casino just in time before re-entries finished. Started with a very decent 22,000 chips. Got pocket kings about 3rd hand, lost about third of my stack to KJ when he turned straight.
Folded AQdd to a 20bb shove.
Hit a run of open enders, flush draws etc to corode my stack further.
Raised AKss 2.5x and whole table folds. Finally at about 10bb I get pocket kings again, so I reraise initial raiser for all my chips and she snap calls with pocket aces, no suck out...onto the next!

I,ve just posted last months profits, the year is following a win - lose - win - lose cycle every month, so the target is to scrape some sort of a profit for June. Vegas is booked for October so as long as I avoid the cash tables, I should have a respectable roll to donate.
