The Final Furlong - 2:30am

Hi all, well today has been pretty stress full - I went to bed at 7am this morning, and slept right through till 6pm!!.....

I had a phone call from the owner of Big Slick, asking me to come down and play, with him offering the kind gesture of putting me in the comp, this man has been very supportive to me over the last couple of years, and I can only say thank you,he really is a great person.

So, I arrive late, as I had to do something before hand, and luckily have not lost too many chips. I pass for a few hands and nothing much really happens for about an hour. I had a couple of nice hands QQ, AK etc and re raised ppl, but no one called so just picked up what was in there. Then I have KJ hearts on the button, the cut off limps for 1600, I limp, and the BB checks, Flop - K83,, We all check and the turn is a 6 of hearts, which now brings me a flush draw and top pair, they both check and i bet 1600 they both call, and the river is a Queen, the bb checks and the cut off, moves all in, I end up calling and he shows QQ, mbn...

After that I get a triple up with KJ vs A9 and A2, and from then on, i just steal blinds etc.... Final 2 tables and I have AJ on the button, a guy makes a raise of 9k, I decide to push all in, and he folds, very next hand, the guy on my right, raises to 8k, I have 55 and re raise him all in, and he calls with A4 clubs and I hold, so now I'm thinking I'm on a run, until ..... I am in the sb, one limper, the BB announces raise and bumps it up to 7500, the limper folds and i peel off a flop with 109 of hearts, the flop comes QJ6 rainbow, I decide to shove all in he calls with KK gg me,,,,, leaves me with 17k and I end up shoving all in about every other hand,,,,,

We finally get to FT, with 6 getting paid, and I have 27k, with blinds starting at 2/4k.... I fold a few hands and after about 2 rounds I have about 23k, I am on the cut off with 96 clubs and move all in, the BB calls with K10 and I turn a flush - Then I reign back a bit, make a cheeky raise with J6 off on the button, the BB calls, flop comes Q74 , 2 diamonds, I decide to bet the same as my initial raise of 15k, he dwells for a while and then luckily folds

After a while, there are 5 of us left, I have 44k and the blinds are 3/6k, I'm UTG with K10, I decide to push and try and give myself another round of folding, the BB thinks and has about 80kish, and calls, with A8 off.... gg...wp...flop AQ9, and I don't improve and swiftly exit...

I am pretty fed up today tbh, There are a few things bothering me, and I know there is not much I can do about it. I suppose all I really want is to be happy with someone who can be there for me too, and people talk about time heels and the right one will come along one day, but I'm not so sure, I thought I had found the right person, obviously that was just a pipe dream too.

This is why I try to concentrate on my poker so much, because it allows me some sort of release, and less thinking time of all the crappy things that life throws at you.

Anyway, I'm off now, I haven't played online at all today, may not bother tomorrow either, because right now I think I need to chill out a bit and reflect on things, thanks for reading :-)
