Cash game

In contrast to my hasty exit from the HU tournament my cash game seems to be ok. I did have one session where I was up 2 buyins only to tilt off everything and end $20 down, but I have made that back and then some today.
I think one of my biggest problems is closing the tables when I know I am tilted. I always have to go for that 1 extra orbit just to see....

Got to stop using the option not to post blinds and just ht quit!

Busted

Nah, not completely. Just out of the EMS HU championships.
Best of 3 match vs Albus Fawkes.
Got slaughtered in the 1st round when I overplayed top pair vs his set. Never a good move and I thoroughly deserved to lose.

Second round I actually played properly to pull it back to 1-1 .

The decider led to me getting carried away and being outkicked when we both held a pair of aces.
Overplayed top pair again, when will I learn?
Albus was of course the better player, but I suspect if I wasnt such a donk that night I could have given him a better match

General update

So I think I have finally gotten a few tilt issues out of the way.
I play when I can, which often means I play when I shouldn't.

So tonight whilst chatting in IRC I have been playing backgammon on freeplay tables instead 'cause I am too tired to play poker properly. Wish I had done this before.

Most of my profit from my luckboxing at the start of the year is gone, in fact I went down to zero profit at one point, and now the road to recovery is here.

The graph with bonuses added on is far more pleasant to look at however :-)

2nd round of the ems HU champs

Didnt go well.
1st round caught a bad bout of non believeritis. Talked myself into thinking ratattack was bluffing (He wasnt)

2nd round got all in with AK vs A9. 9 hit.

oh well
The second chance bracket awaits
