However the title has been scrapped and an adequate replacement has not been thought of. Why has the title been scrapped? Well because I decided to play a marginal hand for the final PLO pot of the week. A-2-4-5 single suited, and it wasn't the Ace. I saw marginal, what I mean is trash.
There has been a preflop raise and I flat in position, the BB flats as well so when we go to the flop there is about $95 in the pot, currently I'm sitting on about $900, only $200 of which is profit. The flop comes and it's A-4-J with two clubs, I have 5-2 of clubs. So I'm sitting here with two pair, a gutshot and a five high flush draw. The BB pots it into the preflop raiser, the raiser now repots it and its round to me. This should be a simple fold, but the lure of a big win struck me.
So I didn't snap fold, instead I moved my bet slider all the way up to pot, basically committing myself, my mouse hovered over the raise button. It floated there, not moving, tables kept popping up and I just folded away, thinking should I go for it. The BB could be stealing I thought, the preflop raiser could be defending I thought. Even if they both have hands I must have outs I thought. Still, this is an easy fold.
Just at that moment my girlfriend started calling me to look at something, hold on I said, she persisted, be quiet I said, she persisted, as I turned around to tell her I need to concentrate my finger slipped. Suddenly I turned around and I had potted it, the BB had now gone over the top and the preflop raiser with him. I had to call off the rest of my chips with trash.
The BB showed the nut flush draw. Killing my outs... Marv.
The original preflop raiser should a set of Aces. Killing my outs... Marv.
My only live outs were non-club threes, the four on the turn was instant services as the set of Aces housed up and took down the lot. I was now -$730 on the day and furious. I quit every table and had a go at my girlfriend, telling her when I'm playing six tables at once with thousands in play I need to concentrate. The truth is it wasn't her fault, I should've snap folded. I played with filthy and got stung, lesson learned, I need to make sure that doesn't happen again.
Unfortunately, that's my third losing cash day in a row. Fortunately, it's only my second losing day over all and I've made excellent money this week. I'm extremely proud of what I've done.

Went back to work today and already I want to get back to sitting at home playing poker. It's difficult doing a job that you don't want to do, that you hate. I know that I won't be making $10K every week playing poker, but I'm happy making $500 a week as long as I can do it consistently. I just love the game that much, plus it's the freedom. I played on average 2.48 hours each day on my holiday, it's nothing. The rest of the time I did as I pleased. That's what I want.
I saw Angelina Jolie on Monday at the premiere of Salt in Leicester Square. I was up there at the Empire (which did not go well) and was on my way home when I decided to wait around to see her. It was worth it, she is too hot for words.
The Mad Men star is perfection in every possible way! Stunning good looks, beautiful fiery red hair (apparently she's been dying it since she was 12 but I don't mind, I'm sure she looks great with her natural blonde) and a great rack. Yes, it matters, I'm a breast man and love my women to have a decent pair of passion pillows.
Jean Pascal caused the upset in the fight with Chad Dawson at the weekend. I'm very proud to say I called it. "Bad" Chad is a great fighter but he doesn't like to engage and he got caught out by a fighter who throws bombs and is willing to put it on the line against a better opponent. The same thing will happen to Floyd Mayweather Jr one of these days, and when it does I will be a very happy man.
