5/10

Played some 5/10 (for the 1st time in since febuary) and 3/6 yesterday and did very well winning €1.5k in 184 hands....then I played again today. I got brutalised for €3.8k and can't see any hands I played badly other than 1...maybe/probably.

I havn't played against 'THE-GOAT' lol much at all but was informed that he's terrible and I had these 2 pots which are pretty difficult spots:

People don't normally check big hands on 2 streets so I bet/called a small turn check/raise looking to revaluate on river then he overbet shoves and I hit top and middle pair....WTF lol I tanked and lended up calling as I don't have much of a read on him other than he's bad...meh

This was typical for this session where I have a big hand and have to lay it down, very sure it was the right fold.

And here was a fun pot:

September

At the start of the month I was in Belgium/Amsterdam but when I got back I decided to focus on tournaments(due to winning a rake race satelite) and lended up playing 84 tournaments in a week. Didn't really get much going and lost about £700. So I decided to "smash the cash" and have had great results winning £5k in 4k hands.

So all in all am feeling good and feel like I've learnt alot about tournament strategy coming up to the €500 tourney in ireland.
