24 Cash Game - The Updates/Photo/Brag thread!

[maccatak11]

have fun spending my $$ Matty I think you got all $200 of it

I cant believe how many coolers i had against you. my house versus your trips, my set versus your overpair, my 6 high straight versus your wheel and my tens that held twice against AQ. The money was always going in in all of those pots, and i was fortunately very lucky to have a slightly better hand every time.


A highlight of the mornings play (which got increasingly silly - russell's impersonations of a retarded tom dwan were bloody funny) was a hand between russell and shaun.

Russell held 66 on a 457 flop and inexplicably shoved for about twice or three times the pot, not realising how much he had behind. Shaun also inexplicably snap called with J7, and they inexplicably decided to run it 4 times, of which russell won three of the four, once with a set, and twice hitting his open ender.

Hey guys. First time checking this thread here since the game.

I'm glad you all had a good time, by all accounts it went well. I didn't expect it to be so cramped at later stages of the night, there was one point where I just wanted to tell you to get the hell outside so I could set up Definitely a few things that could be learnt from for next time though (heating, space, etc). Personally, I was fine temperature wise until about 6am when no one was around and we all started freezing.

I didn't have a good day/session. This was largely due to bad play. I finished -$270 for the night. I was not playing 100% focused for any point, there are numerous hands where I called the turn not knowing what I am going to do on the river, or hoping to hit 9 outs or less. This is never me. I played the 55 hand vs Dave on 5KJ82hhh horribly.

This has been on my mind for a while... but I am kind of over poker. Over in the sense that I am going to stop trying to make anything happen. I'm going to be honest, I have not been focused, or felt that I am trying my best in poker, for a long time. There are players out there working harder than me, studying forum topics, reading books etc, that are going to get things done. They are going to move forward. I could've studied harder for the challenge between benny the cunt and I, I haven't.

I would say I'm a losing poker player, but the DT win helped that. Actual figures would be nice, I feel like I've cashed more out than I've put in online, but that hasn't been for a while. I want other things in my life. A new job, a new place, among other things. I want to focus my life on things that are important, that are going to be important. I want to get back into writing, I'm thinking of going to Uni. I feel for the past two years I've put enough into poker. That is (largely) what my life has been - poker, poker, poker. I need something new.

But I'm done with poker, maybe forever. I voluntarily banned myself from Full Tilt for 90 days (I was busto anyway). I have no money on any other sites. If I end up winning a GF ticket from the MQF next month I will probably play it, just to go for the weekend. Maybe my mood will change later in the year, but for the foreseeable future, I am going to stop with poker. This is not due to the amount I lost over the weekend, that was away for months and had no affect on my bankroll/personal savings. It was there to prepared to be lost, I actually had another $70 inside but figured it was better if I didn't play with it, as it was just going to go anyway.

I am certainly grateful for all the things poker has given me, and will continue to. The friendships I've made, the relationships I've formed and the adventures I've been on are all amazing. I miss the days when poker was fun and I didn't have to put UTG on a range, or worry if a c/c line is better than c/r. I honestly feel like my best poker days are behind me - and I'm ok with this. I was nothing special anyway.

I'll still continue to play socially/post on here, but yeah... I think that's it boys.

Scott, this means you now have November free

It's really sad to hear that you are retiring from the serious side of poker. You should be very pleased with your accomplishments over the years. You've shown everyone just how capable you are. More importantly you've shown discipline and hard work to achieve your goals. Whatever you go on to do, I am positive you will be successful and I wish you the best of luck.

I am sure you will continue to pwn me in cash games.

Sounds like Burn out.

I took over 18 months off from poker. Went to the USA, and there was a game on at the summer camp. Got the taste of it again. When i got home, bought my new chipset, which has been passed onto a bloke in Broome.

But know the feeling, it takes a lot of time, and not to mention a lot of toil on a person. Knowing you though Aaron, you will come back, probably not the volume you are doing now, but will enjoy it for the game itself.

Definitely get some other non poker related goals in your life and you will find that empty spot that is in all off us and we fill in with one simple word

"GGGGGAAAAAMMMMMMBBBBBBOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL"
