I hate how i played this, i knew the button raiser was super strong which if why i flatted pf. The guy in the middle was an obvious donk so wasn't concerned with him and when i pushed on the turn i knew it was the wrong move, i need to learn to follow my reads more.

I had a couple hundread quid left in my VC account which i've been slowly dwindling away playin various sats and cash late at night. Usually play 10c/20c but decided to go for the 25c/50c for some reason and had been a bit up and down until an agonising outdraw, this one really hurt.

Button ($52.25)
SB ($30.43)
BB Hero ($49.95)
UTG ($49.90)

Preflop: Hero is in the BB with 7h 2d 8h 5c
UTG calls 0.50, Button calls 0.50, 1 fold, Hero checks.

Flop (1.75) 6d 4s 3h
Hero bets 1, UTG calls 1, Button raises to 5.75, Hero raises to 14, 1 fold, Button raises to 44.75, Hero moves all-in for 35.45, Button calls 4.70.

Turn (108.40) Qs

River (108.40) Qc

Button shows 6s Th 8c 6h
Hero shows 7h 2d 8h 5c

Button wins 108.40 with A full house, Sixs and Queens


I know i've still not written up my 3rd year account but i was thinkin about it and i don't actually c why i've taken that line in starting my blog, but i may still write it up just to bore u lot a bit more.

One of the aims of this blog is get myself to play a bit more reguarly while i've not got a job so i'll be setting myself targets each week. This week's is to play 10-15 of the double shootouts and if i can qualify in 2 i'll play it this w'end.
