Well here it goes. My first post on my spanking new blog.

I played in the PL Titan freeroll and Tikays tourney tonight. Didn't do so well really. To begin with my router kept dropping out every 10 mins which made it almost impossible to play. A couple of times I had decent hands and raised pre-flop when the disconnect came. Most frustrating. Not to mention all those sit-out hands where I was dealt AA! ;-)

I ended up getting short stacked on Titan and threw the chips in with A 10 only to run into TheRiversNotMyFriends A Q. Game over!

I did slightly better on SO as for once my JJ held up and doubled me up. This gave me enough chips to hang about for a bit in between drop outs. At this point I realised that after a spot of weekend DIY I had unplugged and moved my phone. Yep, you guessed it. I hadn't put the filter back in and this was causing the drop outs. Doesn't technology pee you off some times?

My demise in Tikays tourney came when I got dealt 99 and called a 3xBB raise. The flop showed 9 Q 2 and the turn a K. I felt pretty good that I was in front and threw them all in only to be shown I was up against QQ and the K river gave me no help.

Hell thats poker. A couple of STTs to finish the night before going to bed dreaming about what could have been.
