Thought i would add another one of these, it is only 15 mins long, the ft starts at around 8 mins i think, just wondered about a couple of hands i played, thoughts please
QJ clubs in small blind, 10 mins in, as i said in commentery a 3 bet and fold to a shove would of been a better play.
KQ around 12 mins in, again shove or fold rather than flat in hindsight might of been better.
The A9 suited hand again should min raise this then decide subsequent action depending upon any action.
Again apologies for the sound quality, plus the Teesside accent is not made for public broadcasting, not a voice for radio, or a face for tv come to think of it.
Any comments appreciated, cheers.

Massive sigh, just pure bubbled seat for Gukpt main event lose the flip 77 v AK, gutted is an understatement.
Erimus:
Attempt number 2 at a Gukpt sat resulted in disappointment again tonight, card and spot dead with 10 bigs got 2 shoves through to chip up a bit but after matey boy min raises at 600/1200 I look down at pocket 2s he has about 13 bigs left I shove hoping he can fold his rag ace hands, if he has a pair I can bink a set, alas the might of A7 is too good to fold and the 77 flop saw my demise, oh well at least it wasn"t the bubble like last week.
In last weeks game was going along nicely and was in a decent position until I doubled up 3 shorties pushes, all with decent equity both pre and post flop.
I was in 3rd place when the fish at the table limps at 2k/4k and shoves his 10 high into the big blinds trip 2s, which he had let him see for free, this put me in third and prob cost me a seat, tbh it was who was going to get the fishes chips which would determine 2cd place, I ended pushing 77 into AK and didn"t win that flip.
Also bubbled the Sunday night game AQ v KQ v 88 for 90 k and the chip lead, alas no ace from space for me and Betty scooped the lot, glad she got it and not the KQ, this left me with 5k blinds 2k/4k and I was in the big blind, I actually got a walk which made me chuckle but hey ho chip and a chair and all that, pushed blind next hand and Betty tanked for a while in the big blind, she only had to call 4k I think, she eventually called with 10 2, she had to call with any 2 tbh, but the annoying thing was another player got involved by attempting to tell her what to do, I did say no coaching you are not involved in the hand I had 4 5 and binked a 4 so got a double up, then ran a9 into A10 we both hit our respective kickers and that was that, no mention or asking for bubble payment which I am ok with as I wanted to win the thing not get my £30 back thats gone as far as I am concerned.
Spent a bit too much on live poker in the last few weeks so need to curb it a little, it"s all covered by previous wins so it"s not as if I am putting us in the poor house or anything like that, just have to be careful.
I may have one more sat attempt next week, I would like to play the Gukpt as its on my doorstep but not paying the full £550, if I don"t play the main probs do a side event but will decide that later on. I will have a look online to see if any sats are currently running on their site and see if it"s worth having a dabble on there.
Had a decent run online I have made 5 final tables so far this month on tilt but have been unable to take one down, the early fiddy today I got to the ft with 25 bigs but couldn"t get the elusive double to 50 bigs, eventually shoving 18 bigs with 10 10 and the chip leader wakes up with AK, even if I min raise AK always going to 3 bet and never folding in that spot so get it in good is all you can do after that the rng does its thing.
It would of been nice to even ladder up one more place as this would of got the roll on Tilt up to $3k, as it is it"s currently $2888, happy with how that is going and with a bit of variance on my side it could of been a lot healthier but it is what it is.
Run good, be lucky stay healthy.

Last day of the month means final day blog entry.
Online going ok made a few final tables on Tilt unable to convert one to a win but had some close shaves would of liked to of reached $3k but satisfied to be starting May with bankroll at $2800, peaked at $2937 but just donated the last couple of days.
Sit and goes are now just filled with regs during the day and they don"t run that frequent so it"s quite difficult to get any momentum going in them, usually 4 or 5 left when blinds are big then it"s who calls shoves correctly and holds or vice versa.
I went to play a sat on Sunday for Gukpt but there were no guarenteed seats so I decided to play cash, and possibly enter sat at break with 20 bigs and spin it up, back to the cash this was the first time ever I have played live cash as I prefer mtts.
[ ] cash went well.
I sat with £60 blinds 25/50 won a bit with JJ v AK, then dribbled down to £45 decided to raise in cut off with 97, get 1 caller and a min re raise from big blind, I call hoping to smash the flop, flop 6 8 10 rainbow, that will do then, I check gets to original raiser who leads for £7, I flat and other person comes along, turn card A, he leads I reraise leaving £10 behind he agonises for ages and eventually puts me all in saying I am calling for the board to pair which it duly does, he fills up with his flopped set of sixes,he then apologises which is actually more annoying than losing the pot, it"s the game nh wp etc.
The wife then phones and asks to see if I can get home as soon as which I duly did, great timing , phone 10 mins earlier I save £50 lol.
Got a free £30 off Sky for depositing £10 today won £30 so will use that for tonight"s Gukpt sat, hopefully it will run as last weeks was cancelled, only needs 8 runners to start ,2 seats guarenteed.
Run good, be lucky stay healthy.
