Nearly weekend:)

Writing some hands as I play:-
So far tonight busted out of lucky dollar and $2 shorthand multis. Nothing much happened in lucky dollar - never really got off ground - the shorthanded tourney I went bust with a set of 33s to a set of kings. Blinds 100-200 I have 4000, UTG makes it 700 to go cut off calls and call on button. Kx3 flop they both check I go all in set of kings calls! Shouldn't have called the raise in the 1st place -was ironic as I was reading an article on ESPN which seemed to be saying you shouldn't call raises with small pairs. I thought the article was garbage but maybe I should have listened:)

doing a $5 sng now doubled up with a straight flush when I had 95offsuit. Lost most of it a couple of hands later with AQ just about everyone limped and I just check BB - flop is AA7 rainbow - all check to me - I bet the pot two callers - ok someone is slowplaying ace - sure enough the first caller goes all in on a turn 10 - other guy folds I have to call. He has AJ - I turn my attention to a hand in the lucky dollar - look back and most of my chips have gone to him! - couldnt believe the river was the jack - oh well still in it with about 1000.
Later on......
Busted out of the above - basically blinded out and had to gamble - busted out another one after - then a 30p tourney - no good - opened up 3 cash games again not doing very well - down to about $150. Bought into an OH8 game for $7.5 and turned that into $34 and got a double up in the NLHE cash game (had about $8) with aces against AK. So OH8 been a saviour last two days - its a great game to buy into short stacked and gamble with good draws - usually get 3 or 4 callers
Another late night (1am now) I can't get to bed when I'm down.
First Biggest Loser weigh in is tomorrow - hoping to have lost 10lbs but haven't checked this week.
Closing roll $203.
