Still playing cash tables but after a very hot streak things have gone cold. I have spent the last 8 or 9 days working hard just to break even every night.

I am playing on Paradise Poker to earn the bonus that was given for swapping from SO. The standard of play there is very mixed. Sat on the 10c/25c tables with a couple of very tidy players and the rest made up of people who play any 2 cards and refuse to put down any rag Ace . I know these are the sort of players that you want on your table but at the moment they are hitting everything and I'm delighted to hit bottom pair!

I have got my money in ahead a few times and got outdrawn. The worst was when I raised 6x BB under the gun with AK only to be called by the BB. The flop came K 7 3. I raised with a pot sized bet and got called. The turn came as a 3. Another raise gets called and I have no idea where I am. I check the river and so does he. He turn over 5 3 os!!!! Why the hell did he call the initial raise and then the follow up when he had bottom pair and then only check with trips on the river. If he put me on trip Ks or 7s he shouldn't have called to start with. You can't play these muppets. It p*ss*s me off sometimes.
