Long time no post

Its been a few weeks since I last made an update.

I missed a couple of my usual games due to some finacial issues I was having at the time and last week I decided to give a poker game in the casino a go.

I took a very small amount of money to play in the stakes I was in, I basically only had a maximum of 2 rebuys so I was very tight at the table. But I was also very agressive and soon got a nice reputation that I would only play an Ace. In reality I was completely card dead and the best hand I had ALL night was pocket Tens. Luckily with my "only ace reputation" I managed to bluff some good pots and slowly but surely increase my chip stack to a comfortable amount by the interval.

So I got to the interval without a single rebuy and was about 3rd in chips on the table after I purchased the addon.

Sadly, 20 minutes after break I was moved to another table and on the second hand in, I lost an all-in with a set of kings. Villian had a set of kings with ace kicker.

I am glad I lost against the better hand, because there was nothing I could do and would probably play it like I did everytime I play, I was just gutted I left so early.
I had set myself up to be up all night but in actuality I was finished by midnight.

Its not very often I go to a casino because its so easy to spend too much money there, but one day I will do some overtime at work and I am willing to spend all my overtimes money at a different casino that will allow me to have around 15x the buyin. This will give me a chance to go all 'maniac' and see if I can aquire a large amount of chips before break.

Well thats the plan.

This Easter Monday I have an all day poker match with my regular poker buddies. It will start at 1pm and finish sometime the following morning.
Last time I did this, I left the day with alot of money. I wonder if I can repeat!
