The 'Thursday Curse!'

I finally broke the 'Thursday Curse' last night.

In all the cash games I have played at the Pomme, I have NEVER won on a Thursday night! And I mean never.

Sundays, I've hit a grand three times, but I've been 'felted' every time on a Thursday. And it's exactly the same faces, the same format and as far as I know, I'm playing my same game.

Anyway, last night I finished 'up'. It would have been substantially 'up' too, but I lost a big pot when I flopped a low flush with straight flush possibilities. I was holding 5, 3 of Diamonds and limped-in. Three diamonds hit the flop including a 6 and a 4.

A guy smooth called my bets all the way to the river and when no more diamonds hit on the turn and river I figured I was good, even though I had missed my straight flush - he had the nut flush and one of the cards I needed for my straight flush (the 7, I think). Ah well.

So how much did I finish up? £3.

Yep, I was in for £300, and went down to about £100 at one point, but cashed-in for the princely sum of £303.

It's not the amount that matters though, it's that I've finally crushed this curse.

A guy hit a Royal Flush too, which was sweet to see, especially as I wasn't in the pot! That's two in two months now!
