Erimus:
Mid month mumblings, don"t worry not a long one.
My report from Glasgow will be very short.
I lasted till about 7:30, 88 was the best hand I had seen all day, unfortunately ran it into 99 so I was out. The banter at the table was first class mostly provided by Phil who is a pleasure to be sat with, at one stage 3 players from our home game were at the same table, what are the chances of that.
We popped over to Gala for the £30 fo (glutton for punishment), bubbled the final table ran A 10 into AQ, I did bink the 10 but broadway arrived on the river so that was that, 3 Apat members made ft and Gary M from Stockton managed to get 2cd place which helped pay for his weekend well played him.
Although the poker was pretty meh it was a good weekend really enjoyed the company, good times.
Played a couple on Stars today and cashed in both 27/360 in a $16:50 fo and 36/450 in a $5 cubed, losing standard races for min cashes in both pretty frustrating as in both games lost crucial hands for 50/60 bigs in the mid stages then limping over the line, oh well that"s poker.
Next live appearance probs Sunday at G"s 15/15 need a break tbh pokered out, looking forward to Full Tilt reopening, that will feel like a win, I have about $450 stuck on there, never expected to see it again so happy days.
I will be ordering my new fishtank tomorrow done plenty of research and have found one that will fit the bill, going for a marine set up, so more random fish will be entering my life.
Run Good, be lucky stay healthy.

Writing this before I head off for the 15/15 at the G hoping to add to it at the end with some positive news on the poker front.
The clocks went back last night and SAD has already set in for me, not the depresion illness but the Sets Always Destroyed syndrome which i seem to be suffering a lot from, alright its a cheap bad beat story but hey got to get them in somehow.
Poker very quiet since Glasgow just the 2 Thursday home games one of which was literally a home game at mine with Susan on the rail giving Stuart a bit of chew, was only a 5 handed affair and was a pleasant night, Lucy won the game I got second but made a nice change, my place is only small so a 5 or 6 max game is comfortable any more would be to many, fancied an outdoor game during the summer with BBQ etc but alas the weather has been pretty poor so that never materialised.
Online only played about 12 games for a loss of about $50 and live with Glasgow probs down about £300 had 1 cash in 6 games.
I had an interesting dual with Ger in the Scots online game twice all in against him with the same hand splitting the pot on both occasions, then his QQ holding against my AK, finished about 14th I think no cash good fun though, he has a bit of a hex on me at the minute can"t seem to win a hand against him, he went onto cash I think so well played him.
Currently setting up a Marine tank in the living room this is taking most of my time and money doing plenty of reading so Poker is taking a back seat at the minute.
Run good, be lucky stay healthy, Nb assume if no report later assume it didn"t go well.
Erimus:
Good news from the G, for me anyway done a 4 way chop for £220 happy days, then realised I have an outstanding bill due on the first of November sigh, a buy now pay in 6 months jobbie has just caught up with me, still it"s effectively a free Dyson, I said to Susan don"t worry will win enough to pay for it before November, cut it a bit short but got there.
Erimus:
After Sundays escapades at the G headed over to Gala for their 30 freeze out tonight, took my usual seat in the dealer position as no one else seemed to want it.
I don"t mind dealing to be honest,it keeps me out of trouble early doors mainly because I keep forgetting to look at my cards, the tournament was the usual 6 or 7 to a flop and as usual I hit nothing better than second pair, folding correctly on all occasions.
The cut off for the optional re entry is 9 30 and at about 9:10 I get AK suited on the button , 4 people limped their 200s and with 1k2 in the pot and with only 15 bigs I am happy to take the flip here or better still a 70/30 favourite, the utg limper duly obliged with a call with AJ and I held so get to the break without having to rebuy, which I don"t think I was going to do, jobs to do at home etc.
After the break, nothing major happens until the loosest player at Gala opens utg, an easy shove by me with AK gets called again by him with AQ, happy days, well it was until he hit the flush on the turn, drawing dead looked like an early night, counted out the chips, I have 2700 left blinds are 300/600, I was a bit sick now I was still dealing and wasn"t in the best of moods, utg min raises gets 1 caller and I am in the big blind, if I look i will fold junk so just go all in without looking both players call, treble up possible to 12 bigs if I win the hand, flop jj2 rainbow, turn k river 7, turn the cards over I have 77 in the hole, lol treble up. I almost left my chips on the table after the AK v AQ hand to go home.
To cut a long story short made the final table and got heads up, we"re I doubled up twice with pairs holding against over cards and was quite confident of beating my opponent as he had just resorted to shoving every hand, eventually I called with A7 suited which wasn"t a match for his 10 10 I did hit the 7 on the flop but no help with the rest of the flop, got £390 for 2cd place,was £600 for first and a seat in Galas 150 game in December, I cant complain about getting 2cd especially from my position earlier in the game, so my last 2 live games have turned a losing month into a profitable one, happy days.
Off to buy a fish with my winnings.
