Poker teaches you humility

[Haichan]

Since my big win on Betfair in December, I have been on the usual cooler since thanks to a combination of over confidence, occasional bad play and a run of bad beats. I particularly seem to be running into late stage aggression in tournaments where I am often massive favourite and lose to runner runner straights. It encourages you to reassess your game but looking at my stats and hands played I did not think my fundamental game was bad. Over the last 3 weeks my game seems to have been coming back. I finished runner up in the monthly Blue Sq GUKPT Punters League and so decided to use my £50+£5 token to play the Blue Sq sat and try to qualify for Walsall. Been trying for the last 3 weeks to play the Blue Sq sat but its only weekly and its never had the minimum 10 entries. So Sunday registered for the Sat. I seemed to be running well this weekend and won 2 sats on Cake to qualify for their $15,000 guaranteed $100 buy in Sunday night. Played the Cake tournament and was running well until crippled when AK runs into a 10/9 off which hits runner runner straight. Out shortly after when QQ's beaten by A6 off with another runner runner straight. So its time to play the Blue Sq sat and suddenly my internet connection goes down. None of my neighbours are in so I can't use their wifi and this is Ipswich where everything shuts down at 4.00 on a sunday evening. 6 hours later my internet connection comes back and I go to check Blue Sq. Probably the tournament was cancelled. No such luck. There were 10 entries and my entry made it 10. Amazingly I finished 4th without even playing. So the moral of this story. Poker can be a cruel game and it can frustrate the hell out of you but watch out because I am going to win big this year. Its just a matter of time.

You need to move over the border to a decent town mate. ;-)
