Xmas Rush.....

Couldn't wait to get back to the online grind last week after Macau Xmas festival.The festival didn't go as plan in both tourneys going out 10th in SH by somehow getting out kicked when i called a river 1.5x pot bet with bottom pair for 65% of my chips. Dude was a maniac and  I would prob do it again in that spot, rest of em went in when 9T couldn't beat 77 and K6. The ME started very well for me when i chipped up in 1st 2 levels to 28k...then lost a chunk when my QQ was flushed against AK.Went out in 300-150 25a level when i was playing 33 BB and raised 2.5x MP with 56s,English guy on my left flats and Albert Kenny flats in BB. Flop T56 Bingo,Bango,Bongo...BB checks,I check because i had been playing with English dude all day and likes to rep in position...he bets 2.1k into 2.5k pot,BB flats and i shove 9.5k original bettor folds and BB calls with KT and u know the rest.GG me. Big Wd to Jamie Flynn for shipping the loot. Plenty more from him in the future me thinks.

The week started Online as it had finished with me still losing but playing really well so was looking forward to one of the biggest Sundays i have ever played online. The fields were so sick and super soft and got loads of deep runs. Lost a pot for top 5 in chips in Big22 with about 400 left when i flopped middle set vs straight. $9.90 FT paid only Turbo Fergal Nealon (Midnitekowby) and myself were 1st and 2nd in chips with 10 left and i somehow bubbled running AA into 77 and AT into A4. The Sunday million was the biggest anticlimax ever for me as i lasted the whole of 30 mins,getting it in with a table maniac playing a 67/37 with AK vs 34h on an Ax 5h 6h board,He obviously got it the diiiirty way with running 4's. I could have folded but i was pretty sure i was at worst against a draw and i think he wud play AQ-AT same way,even if i didnt have a big sample of hands on him. My last 2k went with AK vs KQ. As you can see i was holding on to my run good for the $16.50 27k turbo were i came 4th for 3.3k and recoup all my loses for last month. Was really happy up  cuz i played well,coming through a 4200 runner field and ended shoving 15bb with AJ and getting called by 4's.Last tourney of night i was deep in $8 12k and came like 29th out of another 4,000+ field. I was pissed off with myself over going out of that because i made a shove that i really didn't need to do and could of definitely waited.

Have a few sessions planned over Xmas which will hopefully get messy so looking forward to them and not sure yet am i going to play WPT but will definitly play IPC. Pretty disapointing its a SE of WPT for the shear fact this is a  prestigious tournament and should be the focal festival of the year for the Galwegians. Hope everyone has a great Xmas and New Year and i will be back in Jan to tell of my WPT shippage........
