Tilt!!!

Argh, just busted out of a stud tourney on Pokerstars first hand after the second break. In fairness, I only had less than one big bet left and was forced to bring in anyway, so I don't care about that. What is annoying that late in the last level before the break I played like a huge fish, first betting on sixth street with an open two pair to try to take the pot down, and then to re-raise when I got raised, and call the river as well. Dunno what I was thinking as all four of the cards I needed to make the boat were out and there's no way the other guy would raise when behind... a couple of hands later I folded the river after hitting two pair when some guy with open tens suddenly bets - third party calls, I fold and they both show down just one pair. Tournament poker's a bastard, you can play OK for 150-odd hands (didn't play that brilliantly, but well enough not to be out of it - paid 40, went out 97th of 500-ish) but mess up once and you're toast.

Ah well, may as well wait for the Project Rockstar update now, it'll only take another hour or so. The new programme on Radio 1 replacing Peel was pretty good, a mix of all sorts of ridiculous hard house, techno and general bonkers stuff. Will annoy many but it sounded OK.
