Been having a much better time at the tables since my week long break.It should have been a more profitable week but after a late night playing on Sat night I let tiredness affect my decision making last night and blew off a few $$ with poor plays.Calling a min raise with 67,seeing a flop of 6 7 3,getting the preflop raiser all in with 88 and then watching runner runner Aces give the villan a better two pairs than me didn't help my mood.It has to be said that those beats seem a lot tougher when your tired and feeling done in.On Saturday night I was brushing similar stuff aside.
Also had fun on Sat night when my friend Sandy phoned.He's just starting out on the poker path and I think he's got the makings of a fine player.I persuaded him to play his first ever sng ( 100 play chips entry) and I entered it too for a bit of fun.No collusion as his AA knocked me out holding QQ.Enjoyed talking him through a few hands and although it was only for play chips I think he enjoyed his first taste of sng's.
Not much else happening in Acorn land just now.I did have a paranoid silly stoned moment when a player at Party asked if I'd be harvesting any acorns.I thought he's googled my name and found the blog and felt a bit creeped out until about 10 minutes later I realised I was playing at Party under the name Acornmn.Doh!! Told you I was tired last night...
I don't gamble much apart from at poker.I did however have a punt on "Jack High" for the Grand National on Saturday.I think its still running...
Ok here's a quick hammer hand before I go.Feel the power....

Dear uncle Acorn my poker faith is failing. Please advise
Indeed Trip!
Juice check back to your comment to me during a similar recent spell.Makes as much sense then as now.
When running well or normally it can seem easy but dealing with the swings at nl ( esp 6 max) is the true test.
You have the game and character for it.Stay patient and aggressive.At loose tables you can afford to wait or limp to catch a monster.
You know all that anyway.
Now go do it!
