No Point anymore...

That's right, there is no way I am playing online with the Cashpoint anymore. I log on to my Stars account yesterday night and see a $0.50/$1 table with a few short stacks on it and think I'll take a little shot at it so stick in $60 of my $135 bankroll. I soundly grind away, nothing too spectacular and get up to about $95 when I see in the chat box:

CashyP: This is more like it Cheese

Now that is the point where I should have taken my money from the table and called it a night...but no. For some reason when I play with people I know I feel the need to play like a complete tw*t. And so that's what I did, donking off chips with plays that I would never make if Cashy hadn't turned up. I was down to about $35 when I made a bad tilt call with a rivered pair of 5's on a four-to-a-straight board versus an opponent that had bet the whole way (I was for some reason drawing to the low straight), fortunately he only had a pair of 4's and I picked up a pot which took my stack back up to $55.

Again this was another point where I should have just left the table...and I did a few hands later...having been stacked by the Point. Now he had just reloaded back to $100 having lost a couple of big hands and about $65 on the table as well as an $800 pot on the $2/$4 table I was railing so he seemed pretty tilty and I pick up 85 SOOTED and call his raise along another fish and the flop is a pleasant 776. I check-call the flop thinking with Cashy in this state he may donk off his whole stack if I hit my open-ended draw. The turn is a 5 and I check call $10 into a pot of about $12 (what was I doing) the river is then a 3 and my check is met with a bet for the size of my stack (about $38) and I really did not believe him, but then again I never do. So I call and he shows 67 for the flopped boat. Had it been anyone else on the table or even in the universe maybe I probably would have done one of the following things:

1. Fold Pre-Flop
2. Fold on the Flop
3. Fold on the Turn
4. Fold on the River

Instead I chose option 5:

5. Check-call the whole way like a complete and utter d*ckhead.

Ah well, you live and learn, or in my case just live...

So I've now got about $70 in my Stars account so might just stick that on a couple of $0.25/$0.50 table tonight and try and run it up a bit. I've managed to accumulate about 325 FPP's and will get $75 free if I can get that up to 500 before busting so that will be my aim I think.

And let me tell you now Cashpoint, if you sit at my table I will sit out like a big pansy :-)
