Cold as Ice
What a bad night. After making ~+$1k in the first 2 hours I then went on a $1.8k downswing of coolers.
Here are some of my favourites. (I'm not interested in anyone's comments on how the hands were played by the way. Decisions were often opponent-specific.)
There's also nothing particularly exciting about any of them other than they all occurred with a 90 minute period with just these pots alone totaling $2.5k. (It's my blog and I just feel like venting.)

Muppet of the Day #5: FittSmurf
FittSmurf is a fairly decent regular (~4 Big Blinds/100 from >30k hands) across 8 tables.
He wins today's Muppet of the Day award not because of poor play, but rather, for showing extremely poor etiquette by slow-rolling. Some may say "for being a complete cunt" but personally I wouldn't use that type of language.
In the hand in question, he requests time and lets his clock run right down before calling my all-in on the turn while holding the nuts. (It wasn't a case of being distracted elsewhere either- if you're only playing 8 tables then a $500 pot doesn't get ignored.)
Very disappointing behaviour from another regular. I have already taken him off of my Christmas Card list.

For my tired play at the end of an 8 hour session with this $700-pot hand.
My flop and turn play is fine I think, as I was planning to c/r the turn.
My river call is fucking awful. I even said out loud "You hit the fucking ten you cunt"- and then still called! I knew he had hit the 3-outer (obviously he has 4 other outs to beat me- but he has no chance of getting a call if an Ace or Two falls) and, when fresh, I could usually find a very easy fold.
Oh well.

It's a Bittersweet Symphony, this Life.
England's home defeat against Croatia was bitter sweet for me this afternoon. Needing at least a draw to qualify for Euro 2008, we committed hari-kari and lost 3-2. The consolation for me was that I had backed Croatia for £500 to win @11.0 and with some in-running trading I made a total profit of over £5,000 ($10,500.)
I would have preferred to have lost the bet though as it meant us qualifying instead.
Girl-on-Girl Action
Acevader (Kenny) has made some good posts recently on the topic of "Regular-on-Regular Action" [on the 2+2 forum.]
There are two extremes to this I think, with most of the regs falling towards the latter stages of this continuum.
You can constantly go to war with other regulars "playing poker" and make a profit across less than maximum tables.
Alternatively you can minimise your confrontations with the other regulars and concentrate more on the fish. This requires a lot less effort allowing you to play more tables (and probably for longer periods.)
Now obviously if you're able to exploit certain tendencies that other regs may have then it's foolish to not do so. However, I believe the biggest winners are those that don't go out of their way to attack the other regs- and instead focus more on the easy money that is out there.
My goal isn't to be the "best" player at these stakes per se. Rather it is to be the biggest winner.
I'm starting to analyse the game of other regulars more closely now. (As part of my recent analysis of other regulars' I've been prepared to sacrifice some short term profits by making some otherwise pretty poor light calls- and even making some poor unorthadox plays- just to get a showdown to see what they've been playing and to see how they react to those plays.)
I'm analysing their game not because I intend to initiate more fights with them at the tables, but because I don't want my game exploited. As someone who usually plays 15/16 tables now, you open yourself up a little because that many tables limits your focus on individual players- whereas an aggressive regular who only plays half as many tables naturally gives themselves an edge in those one-on-one battles. Albeit at the greater expense of them often failing to fully exploit the poorer players that are out there.

Revenge of the Nerds
Variance is probably every poker player's worst enemy.
Currently I'm on an awful run full of bad beats and coolers- but mainly bad beats. This in turn has led me to play less than well.
There are so many fucking terrible players at the tables. In fact, there are very few decent players. Of course, long-term this is what helps to pay my mortgage each month. However, during any bad run it's hard to think like that and to not get fucked off!
Thank you for listening! :)

I found this short 15-second clip on You Tube. It's a guy called Paul Smith from Safe Speed. Here is what wikipedia.org says of him:
Smith has also gained notoriety through a viral video on YouTube, in which he bears an uncanny soundalike resemblance to David Brent of The Office.

November Update 2
Generally I've not not been running or playing too well this month, but I had a $2.2k session last night so my monthly profit is looking OK.
My BB/100 has suffered a little this month due to increasing the number of tables from 12 to 16. I don't think it's the number of tables per se that have harmed it- more a case of playing with tables over-lapping and causing a distraction.
I reduced the size of my tables last night to remove any overlap. Previously, I had dis-liked the small tables when I had experimented before, but I got used to it and I've decided it's favourable to playing with tables over-lapping. (I'm still waiting on a new PC to enable me to run the 3 x 30" Dells.)

November Update 1
I haven't been playing quite as much this month, and I don't feel I've been running too well. More than once I've had to overcome a large deficit at the start of a session before making a comeback.
I did win $2k though yesterday in the Full Tilt Iron Man tournament by coming 4th out of 331. I never play MTTs these days so it was a nice result. The overall standard was quite poor and it was pretty easy to steal/re-steal and build a nice stack.
Overall this month, I'm up $6,900 after ~60 hours.

Muppet of the Day #3: FromLosAngeles
In the following hand, FromLosAngeles's pre-flop call is bad of course, and his flop raise is debatable- but what the fuck is his call all about!? LOL. Even with 2/1 pot odds this is a massive -EV call!
The ONLY possible hand that I jam with there that he is beating is 87s and >90% of the time I have an overpair or better. He's even behind to a semi-bluff with a high Ace.
Perhaps he has a Superuser account? :)

The inaugural "Muppet of the Day" award goes to BHW717 for his embarrassingly poor attempt at a verbal bluff- a vain attempt to disguise the strength of his flopped trips. Unfortunately for him he was behind to a flopped full house!

Muppet of the Day #3: FromLosAngeles
In the following hand, FromLosAngeles's pre-flop call is bad of course, and his flop raise is debatable- but what the fuck is his call all about!? LOL. Even with 2/1 pot odds this is a massive -EV call!
The ONLY possible hand that I jam with there that he is beating is 87s and >90% of the time I have an overpair or better. He's even behind to a semi-bluff with a high Ace.
Perhaps he has a Superuser account? :)

November Goals
I don't intend to play as much poker this month. I'm going to focus more on working out, boxing and playing football. I also want to ensure that I'm fresh and full of energy each day so that I can play more with my daughters. So poker will have to fit around everything else.
I plan to start earlier each day meaning I can finish earlier so that it's not lunchtime before I go to bed! I may also play during the afternoon a little when the tables are a little tougher so I expect my BB/100 will be lower this month.
My only poker goals are:
1. To try to not let bad beats tilt or frustrate me at all. I'm usually pretty good about this now- but there are still times when I'll punch the desk and wake up my house mates at 4am by screaming out "YOU FUCKING USELESS CUNT." (I may make some "Muppet of the Day" posts so I can laugh at the bad beats rather than cry over them!)
2. To not play drunk. (I already broke this- losing $1,200 on Saturday night- although this was mainly down to bad beats/coolers rather than being drunk per se.)
