now that is disgusting!!! to top it off he had already had me the hand before with my KK vs his AA BvB after he lost a massive pot, so he only had 700 chips and he doubled twice in 2 hands through me. Very next hand I flop the nut flush an the rest of me little stack goes in an 2 pair turns a full house, very sick!

I havent really been playin very much because of stuff like this, however I have taken stupid shots at big money an lost. I do have some interesting graphs from experiments but they're only from small sample of a couple of a couple of hundred games, but they look promising. I know the game I am good at and I know what I have to do to make money at it and achieve long term success. I go to vegas on wednesday an cant wait to try my hand at some real decent live tournaments. I am there for a week and I am only going with my Dad who's been to many times so while there will be a day set aside for site seeing for me to see the necessarys and a bit of time for relaxing, the main aim will be to play as much poker as we possibly can, tournaments and cash. I dont have much experience in cash games but have watched an read more than enough to know what I need to know, an I have played some with small success. Me dad is a consistent cash winner so I might play the tournaments an leave the main of the cash games to him.

Poker has not been fun for me lately and I have been learning the hard way. I hit a brick wall, but the obvious positive is that its the not poker or the way i play it thats the problem its the lack of bank roll management. I am not a even a gambler, I hate blackjack, roulette, horses etc. I put the odd bet on the footy thats it so this is an easy problem. I learned the hard way that you just can not win in poker with out BRM. Hopefully Vegas can get me enjoying poker again then I can come back refreshed an ready to do it. May the cards be with me!!!

Leave you with 3 donkaments Ive picked already, deffo takin one of these down. When I am back I will be putting everything I have learned into practice. Its a tough game this, but I will beat poker before I let it beat me
