September 2010 Review

So another month passes... Its seems like just yesterday that i was writing the August Review, time is really flying, lol.

There have been a few things going on in September...
WCOOP, 50Billionth Hand on PS, EPT London has just begun.....

I played in WCOOP event 3 and managed to cash. I have a new PC which is still being set-up.... should be done within a couple of days. I have not managed to complete reading the texts that i have to, so they are still to do in Oct.

Since my mid month review, my play has been pretty average. I have had a few bad beats but my luck has been pretty much average and volume has been poor, so not much to write about.

Here's one hand i remember from FR NL100: There was a maniac fish running at around 56/10. He is in MP and i am in the CO. He opens with a 3x bet and i re-raise with KQs to around 9x. The Flop come down 4KQ rainbow and he checks.... I bet around 70% pot and he calls. the Turn card bring a 5 and he leads into me with a around 60% Pot bet.... I am putting him on AK even though i have a blocker or maybe JT as he tanked on the flop before he called. If he has QQ good luck to him... I shove and he tanks, using almost all of his time bank before he calls showing AJo with no flush draw....... and you know what happens next... yes the T on the river completes his straight and i lose a $200 pot, ouch..... just another bad beat....
