Fairly short day for me...
Was confident I had the measure of everyone else at the table and seemed to have most of them worried pretty early on.
Some key hands in chronological order:
Received

in the BB, about 5 runners with no raisers, 2 clubs on the flop and everyone checks (sweet!). Turn was unimportant, again it was checked all round (sweeeet!). River was another club giving me a King high flush. SB bets the min of 100, I raise it to 300, I get re-raised to 1k by a player who had previously been raising preflop with any reasonable starting hand. Seeing as he hadn't raised preflop I call with the thought that there's really only one hand beating me here... oh... there it is, an ace high flush - goodbye to one third of my stack.

and called in earlyish position preflop, no raises. Flop of K 10 x. Checked around to me (noticeabley by one player who was playing ATC), I bet pretty much the size of the pot (about 500) and everyone folds except the ATC player (oh noes!, I'm thinking, as IF he has a King). We check it down to the river and he reveals that he called a pot sized bet with middle pair and an Ace with zero draw. That REALLY annoys me as I'd been showing nothing but premium hands prior to that. Goodbye another chunk of my stack. Starting to look a bit slim now.
During the break I decide that I pretty much have one orbit of the table to get all my chips in as I'm down to about 1200 and the BB is now 300 with an ante of 50. I am on the button when we return. Next couple of hands I received I shall name "Ann" because they were raggedy.
About halfway through the orbit I look down at A 10 offsuit. "That'll have to do" thinks me and with no1 having raised so far in my chips go. THREE callers. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? On the plus side there's about 3 or 4k in front of me as a locked pot and yes, that would indeed do very nicely.
Flop was 6 6 x. I think that SURELY nobody has hit that and allow myself a brief glimpse of a light at the end of a tunnel. But wait, what's this? Mr ATC has pushed all-in into a dry side pot (GASP!) and to perfectly honest I knew damn well I was screwed right then and there as this bloke is married to anything with a 6 in it.
Remaining players fold and the clown turns over 10 6 offsuit
Seriously, sod off.
And get a haircut, ya bum.
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!
