BAD KARMA
Firstly, my decision not to defend my title from last week.
I really didn't fancy having the world and his Mother watching me from the early stages and I don't think that was avoidable. Too much pressure and the inevitable feeling of 'failure' was something I didn't want and lets face it I would have had to go a long way to get any where near a feeling of anything but failure.
So I entered an ipoker 12k gtee game with 230 players which began around 5pm (guessing).
I also chose to enter the Laddies 100R. Why? Just because I have never played it and felt good about my game after last night's win on there.
It was approx. 6:45 and we were down to 35 players with 30 paid on ipoker and I was in 9th place. I was looking forward to Laddies game and everything was set up perfectly. Corry was on the phone in the other room but this is never a distraction as she is always on the phone.
Then, without warning, I glanced up and walking towards me was an old friend. I have told her on numerous occasions before that if she wants to visit, just make a quick call first to make sure we aren't up to anything. The hairs on my chinny chin chin stiffened up and while Corry was on the pohone, she spent the next half an hour saying how she didn't understand poker and never uses the internet.
She came over to my laptop and threw the whole shebang of questions at me like if there are 500 players in the tournament why can she only see 6? Is it like tennis where if it is level, it could go on forever? You are so lucky to have Corry working so hard while you sit round playing games.
The peace and preparation was well and truly out the window. And with it went my Karma and positive thoughts.
On ipoker we had an utg limper who to be honest was totally useless. The flop came KT7 and I had K7 in the BB. I allowed him to bet at it and then pushed. His immediate call meant that I had cracked his ace, but astonishingly he turned over A7!!! The runner runner straight gave me no option but to mention something in the chat screen.
The VERY next hand I wake up with KK in the SB. I make a standard raise and of course he calls. The flop comes 99Q and again I check-raise him allin. He calls and turns over 92 off and I am out 35th. Absolutely unreal.
I never used to believe in Karma and positivity until the last few months. Now I do 100%.
On Laddies, things didn't get better with some awful luck in the rebuy period and then a decision to commit suicide trying to pick up some chips. I don't think it really mattered if I had KK or AA, I was never going to get anywhere. May as well top myself there than wait for the inevitable bubble in 4 hours time.
Next time I will lock all bloody doors!!
Got rid of my guest (and you thought I was rude on MSN when playing! lol)and took off where I finished earlier with cash...
CASH +$2,500
