Mi aerodeslizador está lleno de anguilas.

Had an impromptu break from the baize over the last week as I went to Spain to chill with the family. Nice!

By the day I got back I was gagging to get back to playing but Sky had other ideas - my Internet connection was atrocious! Against my better judgement I played a $10 SNG when I had a connection - and true to form 3 hands in I disconnected for 35 minutes!

By the time I reconnected it was seven handed and the blinds were at 50/100 - I had a stack of just about 1000. I was immediately negative thinking well I have an excuse for losing this one - but decided - NO, THINK POSITIVE! - and I knuckled down to try and win this thing! With the help of pocket queens I got back into contention - and played a good game to become chip leader when the bubble burst. Heads up my opponent was strong and I knew this could go either way - I thought I had him when I hit two pair with my 34 on the turn; sadly though, he had trapped me flopping two pair with his 94. Still not a bad outcome considering I was missing for the majority of this game!

I played a few SNG's on Thursday night - not playing at my best but a win in one of them but me slightly in profit on the night. One of the games I was unlucky to go out when my set of QQ's got it all in on the flop against AK who hit running diamonds to send me packing. I looked at how I might've played it differently on the PAN Poker forum. In hindsight I think there was no way of avoiding the hand playing out the way it did.

Last night I played a $1 MTT - just for shits n giggles - and did OK cashing but should've done better - I played a great patient game - but in the lead up to the bubble lost my mind and thought I'd have a pop at a couple of pots - losing 4000 of my 6000 stack in just two hands! Then I just had to cling on to make the money.

I finished the night with 1 $10 SNG - playing well but going out on the bubble - this was frustrating as I was in a good position when I called my nearest rivals all in with AK only for his AQ to river a queen.

So far it has been an up and down return to the cyber-baize - looking now to re-break $500 on the bankroll over the next few days.

Actually looking forward to writing this months review of the month - first positive one for a while.
