Mixed news

Bigshot reports in this morning with a $110 win at 50NL and seems upbeat about his new playing style. I after an enforced poker break sit in at three tables and hit a set on my first hand with pocket sevens on a A76 board. An 8 on the turn and then Barry Greensteins favourite, an Ace on the River. If I was behind to a jammy straight I've just outdrawn them and get the last of my money in on the river and get called. AK? No. TK for a straight? No. Pocket 8's and I'm outsetted after he called a near pot sized raise with two overpairs. Despite playing for a while and winning on the other two tables I end up down.

Getting oversetted happens though and I managed to take it in my stride without it affecting my play too much. Moocher reports in finally for the week and its grim news for him as reports he is busted. Its only $60 down for the year so easily recoverable but none the less probably a blow to his confidence. We await his update for plans on his online poker career and any adjustments he plans to make.

I resolve my Pacific Poker bonus query. It seems they paid 1/3 of my bonus up-front for some reason which I kind of noticed at the time. It means that I now have a lot of poker to play before I get any more Bonus $$$ at Interpoker and I'm already down $37 there. Winning poker seems to be eluding me at the moment but after a review of my main losses last night I only found a couple of hands that I felt I didn't play well.

Maybe Valentine's night will be lucky for me :-)
