live poker sucks

Buzz here again

O.K it was the £50 pound game at stanleys last night, always a good value tourney with 1st prize averagine 1600ish but always goes down to a chop 4 handed for about 1 grand each. Played this tourney twice and i think it is the biggest heap of shite ever, not a patch on the aspers 100 pound game. however, the value is superb so its hard to miss, just gotta take a shot early n hope to get chipped up.

100 runners total, 9k starting stack, 25 minute clock and im seat 3 table directly to the left of mr jimmy chipmunk and colin taylor in seat 8, both well respected solid players but there were also a couple of big massive tuna fishes on the table so pretty pleased with this draw.

1st hand of note i pick up ak of spades, 1 limper in early, i put it in a raise of 250 (5x bb), i get a call from the cut off,button, small blind, and the original raiser. marvelous. flop came 872 with 2 spades, limper pre flop bets out small and i re raise on the semi bluff, extra chance of winning the hand i guess, and i dont put the better on anything strong to lead out to me so im happy to represent the overpair. to my horror the cut off calls, and 1st better calls. turn is an absolute blank and is checked to me, thers about 4.2k in the middle and i think this pot is well worth another stab on the semi bluff, so i bet 3k and thankfully this bet got through. worked my stack up to 12.5k and i think this could be my night.

bleed a few chips calling raises and blinding out when after 45 minutes i look down at ak again, chipmunk limps and i raise 600(6xbb) once again i get 2 callers and chipmunk calls,4 players to the flop with a pot of 2k, board comes q high and i pass on the flop feeling like shite.

blinded out without playing a hand until i comeback after the break with about 9k,new fit dealer (fitter than spoona anyway) cecelia i think shes called on our table so tht brightens me up a bit. still in decent enough shape but know i have to get a move on with the antes kicking in and unforgiving short clock. a trip round the blinds and i pick up aj in mid position, i raise to 1200(4x bb) and get 2 callers and then a re raise to 5k so i have to pass, really pissed off again. fiona brings me a cup of coffee with no sugar as i am attempting to lose a bit of weight, as theres so many players there is no table for my coffee so i put it on the floor next to me. i go through the blinds and onto the button where i pick up 77.there are limpers so i raise to 1500(5x the big blind) and small blind calls, as soon as his chips are over the line im shouting outload "come on guys atleast 5 callers, thats the norm" extremely pissed off. so yes the big blind calls, 1st limper calls, and the 2nd limper shoves, and by this point iv had enough, so i call off my remaining 7k on a small pair which isnt like me. he flips over ak and i just have this gaureenteed feeling this is the end of my tourney, so i stand up, and stick a size 12 addidas trainer straight through my coffee, all over the floor it goes and im sure a bit went on jimmyb the casino manager, a cross between embarressment and anger i finally lift my hand up to the already dealt cards to see a king had appeared on the flop.

fucking shite night of poker all round, how much do u have to raise pre flop to get rid of some people?!?!?!?!?!?!

i need to take a break from live completely after the npf birthday game and get over this horror run i am on at the moment, running hurrendous like i have been for the last 6 weeks just leads to me tilting more, and donking out even earlier, need to fnd some way of having a structure to my cash play and sng play online so im playing more.
