Relavent, yet..Irrelavent

First lets start with the irrelavence of this part of the post, nothing to do with poker, but in the interest of football. Started pre season matches and had our first today, first time we have all played together as a team and up against stiff competition from one of the best teams in their area.

The pace of the game was soo fast its unreal which is why im glad i didnt start as im not fit at all at the moment, but same great football played. 20 minutes into it and one of our players made a shit pass back to keeper, well tried, and they took it and put it in the back of the net....1-0 to them.

Few minutes later and a great pass from a winger on our team sets up our forward and the defender just gets a foot in, a good tackle which sends the ball flying, over the keeper who's off the line and straight into the back of the net. 1-1.

Just a few minutes later and the ball is launched up the field by our defenders, a winger running on to it, the defender backs off as the keeper comes, the keeper then pulls out and its a sweet volley straight in the net 2-1 to us.

Half time and i come on at right wing, The game had settled a bit by now but i guess we were dominating, a lot of missed chances from us was punished when they scored an open goal. 2-2, not much action second half but a very good game and en excellent result. We went home pleased with our performance...and better yet....i lasted the whole half =D, fitness improving now. good one boys!


Right, onto poker.....well....shit really! Started off well, $80 up in cash in first hour, then a few dollars went.....then more dollars went......then 1/4 bankroll went.......mmmm. Tilted badly nearly all day but i couldnt stop. Very unsettling, and dissapointed, and i didnt even have a reason to be on tilt. There was one key hand i lost a pretty big pot on, it was my 8-8 vs QQ. There was 8 on the flop and i call his bet, he bets on turn and i raise...also A on board but he calls, anyway, the queen on the river and i raise again, he just calls so could have been worse.

The peak of my bankroll was $330, now its, $130! Wow!

Gunna hit the tables now, hopefully go deep in a tournement and to come back and report something positive would be great.
