IPC and TCOOP

Thank foook Xmas and New Year is over with.Had a few good nights out ending with BIGMICKG and his mrs Helen coming down to myself and Ann Marie for NYE. Great night which ended up with me playing luckymo32 HU at 6:30 in the morning on pokerstars.fr while drinking lots of Havana club 5. Didn't play too much over Xmas apart from a couple of live Sat's in casino for IPC and WPT. Shipped the IPC ticket and no joy in WPT sat. As the IPC was a side event of WPT myself, Trevor Dinneen and Macau local Ger Fleming drove up on the Friday before the tournament started. My starting table had Marc Macdonnell and the always entertaining Paul Marrow and was fairly uneventful  for me until the 2nd level when I raise up UTG with J7c (1st mistake) get 3 bet by  Dutch dude UTG+1, Mark Macdonnell calls and I flat (2nd mistake). Flop Qh9c8c, I flop the owl guterball and flush draw. Im sick I'm OOP here and elect to lead out the flop after dwelling for a minute or two. Dutch dude 3 bets me, Mark gets outta the way and I elect to flat but fold d turn if i miss because I felt he was super strong and I would  have to play for stacks. 5c on turn and I check, he bets and i shove. He snaps me off with QQ and binks the quads on the river. Down to 7k and i slow play queens and lose another 3k. I get back up to 10k getting it in with AK vs A2 on an AAx flop. Then I just murder the rest of my stack getting it in with QJ on a KTx flop with absolutely no fold equity whatsoever. Always making these dumb plays in live tourneys and really have to snap out of it. The 250 game was annoying as i ran my KK into AA and QQ after a couple of hours. Well done to Gilly who came 3rd in  the WPT with a great run and Trevor who FT the 250.

Looking forward to this week online with the TCOOP starting and flash series on pokerstars.fr as well. As much as id like to call myself a POKER PLAYER, im not..I'm just a turbo donkey who knows his shoving/calling ranges and my results shows that. I asked my coach why am I winning so much in Turbos and losing so much in standard and he said cuz I'm a bad post flop player...Bit of a kick in the goolies but he is right...my graphs for turbo is like this..........

and my graph for standard is this......

At least i have something to work towards..So u can stick ur WCOOP's,SCOOP's and even WSOP's...its all bout the TCOOP for me. Had a good week in general online with a couple of FT bubbles and a shippage scooping 2.1k for a $2 2x turbo. Good luck all to everyone playing the series and a special good luck to Fox and Eddie Walsh for there upcoming  annual tournament in Clane. IPPF should be a great weekend and hopefully they get the numbers.
