Another STT and...

...bubbled. No cards and a table of calling stations/ donkeys is not much fun. Was ahead in a few pots and my bets when I was ahead were called to the river with A high or gutshots which of course hit. Last hand I had ATs and raised to 400, the sb raises to 800. I've had enough and push for my last 2k. Maybe I should have waited but ATs 4 handed is gonna be good enough most of the time and if I start laying down to re-raises from donkeys I may as well quit now. Of course he calls for almost 2/3 of his stack with KJ offsuit where he is in a coin flip at best or at worst dominated... and of course hits his K on the turn.....sigh. So from being a 3:2 favourite and in good shape to double up and probably make the money I'm out....sigh. Still I want that call every single time as its winning in the long run...or so I keep telling myself lol

Challenge bankroll is now $291.56

May 2008 stats

Well, another winning month overall but a profit of $17 isn't much to write home about. Then again I only played 9 sessions. But at least it wasn't a losing month which is always good. The games I played broke down as follows:

STT

$2.30
p7, cashed 4 times (2x 1st, 2 x 2nd) for $9.50 profit

$5.50
P1, cashed o for $5.50 loss

MTT

P1, cashed 1 for $13 profit

And I have a really busy month this month with friends staying, doing stuff at the weekend, my birthday and hopefully moving house so I am probably gonna be playing even less this month. I'll try and play the odd STT but am not expecting to have much chance.

Oh and the WSOP starts so good luck to all those on the laddies and blondepoker forums who will heading out to Vegas hoping for big cashes and shiny bracelets! I'd love to play in it just once and maybe one year I'll decide to just say 'sod it' push some cash into it and be serious and play some satellites! You never know just win a few races in a sat and get lucky and it could happen!

Challenge bankroll is as it was on 26 May, $293.86 and has been hovering around the $290 mark for about 6 weeks now. Once it gets to over $300 I will go back to the $5 stts.
