Brian.. I personally hope you keep this blog going mate, like you say from £30 freezeouts to playing a £500 buy in.. who knows whats next. You know I"m a big fan of your game, and if I"m honest slightly jealous.. think it keeps me from going completely to the dark side to be honest and have learnt a lot from your style of playing, not just on a Thursday but your consistent runs live, at the G and online. I know you play the right way. Keep it going, would miss your updates if they disappeared, binkage or no binkage x

Cheers for that Phil, wept a little tear, ps chopped the G tonight for £110, 3 handed we all had about 50kish didn"t fancy sitting there for another couple of hours and bubble it, the other two were keen to get on the cash table, me, it"s another food shop in Marks and Spencer"s instead of Aldi.
I also flopped a straight flush so get entered into a 10k free roll at the end of the month online.
Congrats again on your work stuff nice binkage.

Me too. Bri has a better understanding of the game than many. He knows his image and exploits it well.
Fossil? No way!
Erimus:
Just a quick report on last nights game, I did card rack it in but there was one or two hands were I got paid far too much on the villains holdings.
It"s a 15k starting stack £30 game, it got 31 runners last week, hopefully this game is starting to take off, no just the 10 runners so a sng, didn"t mind as I was out for a bit of relaxation and a laugh.
The early levels flops were seen by an average of 6 people this gave me a chance to have a power nap before the real stuff started, learnt to sleep with one eye open just in case.
Blinds 200/100, 2 limpers I bump it upto 550, the big blind reraises to 2k, limpers fold, I call and see a k high flop 2 hearts, he donks 1k2, I reraise to 2k5, he flats, brick turn,he pots it, I fold pretty confident he has me beat if it"s a bluff well played, we will never know he mucks his cards.
I raise utg with 99 get 2 limpers young Luke who is on the button a good player ships it in,about 3k5, he had been coolered a few hands before,his range here is massive with the 2 limpers I make the call and we get heads up he shows 66, my hand holds so I am back above starting stack.
A local player late registers with about 30 big blinds, he talks a good game but i am not totally convinced so I will adjust my play accordingly.
I 3 bet a limper and get it through and the next hand I raise 55 utg which gets through, I am now in the big blind and look down at KK.
The new arrival limps the button 200/400, I raise to 1350 he flats, flop comes down J high, I lead out he flats, turn nothing significant so I put in another bet and he shoves all in, if this was a £500 comp (ohh listen to me) I might think about it a little but I called, if he has hit a set or a funky 2 pair fair enough, he turns over j8 off, my hand holds, he has played 1 hand and donated 30 to the prize pool, ty very much.
He then goes on telling me the reason why he flatted the 3 bet with j8 was because he had seen me raise the previous 2 hands and he just thought I was at it, now he knows my reputation as a tight player, I just cannot understand why he would think j8 would be in any decent shape against my image or even my 3 betting range, not that I am complaining come back to the table tomorrow and we can play again.
I also flopped a straight flush with j 10 of clubs with 2 people still betting into the pot, the fourth club killed my action but the 2 hands I was up against where a flopped straight not of the flushing variety and 2 pair, I did min raise the turn to keep them both in the 2 pair folded and I couldn"t extract any value from the straight with the 4 clubs on board.
the G have a promo on at the moment if you get quad kings or above you get entered into a 10k free roll online at the end of the month so I shall be adding another site onto my crowded pc.
I knock out another with AA v AQ, I did say at the start I card racked it, we were 3 handed at 300/600 with 3 left and 2 paid, it could of been an extremely long bubble so we chopped it for £110 each, £80 profit for 3 hours is ok as I was still feeling tired from the weekend.
I would love to join Dave for the sat at Newcastle tonight but not fair on Susan if I have to pack her off again if I qualified, the place she stayed in was ok but not ideal, work still needs to be done finding a suitable place, I don"t think that is going to be an easy task, I have found someone who can look after her for a few hours a week so it looks like I can get back to the gym for some serious training or a sick sweat in the sauna and steam rooms.
Gala might be a possibility tonight as the game at the G has failed to start on the last 2 Tuesday"s, thanks for reading.
