Catch up

Well I have posted for a while, mainly as I use it as a poker blog and well I've been playing and running badly for a while. What has got back into me is taking shots heads up at higher stakes whilst plastered drunk. Good evidence of this, is my graph for last month


At NL25 I am getting into bad habbits of making hero calls when I know more often than not I'm beat, or trying to get people to fold on flop or river when they just aren't the type of player that will ever fold a pair, but it's something I know I'm doing wrong it's just trying to plug things like this which is appearing difficult.


Going back to playing when drunk I have done it twice in the last week, with quite a funny hand....for me when I'm holding the nuts. Obviously villain can't expect me to have the only other Ace in the pack but hey I'll take it!

I won't post my October graph yet as I'm only half way through the month but hopefully I'll get the urge to post more or at least my October graph which so has gone in the right direction, due to drunken HU sessions, NOT from playing 6max NL25.

Out of poker I went to Champions Day at Ascot and got to see the mighty Frankel, possibly the best horse of a generation, great atmosphere and I will definitely look at going again next year.
