Back from Greece.....Back to Winning at The Vic....

Hey, hey, hey!!

So I flew in to London this morning and was home by 8am.

After a long nap, I was ready to hit the Saturday night action at The Vic.

10pm - 2am, I was able to record another winning session.

Cashed in my usual £220. Cashed out £453 (+£233).

I played pretty solid poker, and opened up late into the session.

I was able to protect my stack and accumulate chips very effectively by controlling the size of the pot.

I once again only got involved in pots where I had favourable position, I aggressively isolated weaker opponents with raises / re raises several times.

Although a +£200 session is more than acceptable for me, there were two hands where I could / should of added to my profit.

One occasion I managed to perfectly isolate a weak opponent on an ace high flop (with a check-raise), AQ(me) vs A6(fish!), turn was a brick, river was a 6! Weeeeeee!!!! Dropped over £150 in that particular hand.

The above hand, was simply unfortunate. The following hand was one I played bad.

Pre flop I raised under the gun with AQ.

At this particular period of the night, I had been raising very frequently and had been caught
bluffing several times. So I had multiple callers to the flop.

Flop came down ace high with a possible flush draw. The big blind bet out £27 (around the size of the pot). With 3 players let to act behind me I should of raised (up to £60/£70 total), however I showed weakness and smooth called the bet.

There was a call behind me, then a raise up to £87 total. This raise came from Norman, who had been playing a lot of pots and his stack was demonstrating huge variance throughout the night.

Norman is a type of player who you can expect to call a raise pre flop with ace rag (and so hit two pair on the flop). It is also very difficult to price him out of draws. However he is not the type of player who will raise / bet out a nut flush draw.

Anyway, there was two very reluctant folds before the action came back round to me. I was sitting with a stack of £400, and Norman had around £250 behind. I knew due to the size of the pot which had already built up to +£160 (without my call), that if I were to decide to call, I was going to be committed to the action hence be risking most my stack.

My decision was further clouded by the fact I had another player let to act behind me, who may of flopped a set. So I managed to conclude folding was the best chose of play.

The player behind me folded, Norman showed ace rag (no two pair though).

I should of pushed in, but took the safe option. Ohhhhhhh well!

I am really really tired.....so I am off to bed, I will post some holiday photos tomorrow.

I am also looking to draw up a solid poker schedule -which I will also post tomorrow.

Anyway.....

Yigit out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
