Erimus:
Decent start to the month just chopped Gala freezout for £590, was chipleader but with the blinds at 10k/20k was a bit of a crapshoot and could of gone to any one of us, perhaps I should of asked for a bit more as one person only had 9 bigs, but during negotiations Susan phoned up and wanted me home ASAP as she was still sat up at 4am so done an even chop, it was one of the regs and an unknown so a bit of karma for future deals possibly.

Had a couple of days off online but did finish 350/2500 in the miniftops 6 max rebuy for not a lot, lost a flip with AK v 44 v AK for a decent stack, $51 for my troubles, was only in for $20 so a little bit of profit.

This week sees the gukpt roll into town, I have been unsuccessful so far in the sats for the main event, bubbling one and got unlucky on the final table on Tuesday finishing 7th I think, Pokerpops unluckily bubbled in that one As well.

I had budgeted to play two side events the £100 freezout on Tuesday and the 6 max on Wednesday and also at least one more sat attempt on Sunday 10 seats guarenteed £30 rebuy, obviously with tonight"s little bink the main event might be on the cards, this will depend on a few things like getting Susan looked after for a full day on either Thursday or Friday, then if I make Day 2 this will have to have some cover as well, but it is only 10 mins from home and it should be manageable to get back home if required.

If I do decide to play the main event I will be selling a bit so watch that space if anyone is interested.

In other news went to see Micky Flanagan last night and had a right good laugh, if you get the chance to see him he is very good, it"s daft o"clock now but I can"t sleep due to feckin birds singing.

I shall be purchasing a few Turbo snails today as I have an outbreak of Algae in the tank and these things are supposed to munch on that so will give that a go, that"s provided the mantis shrimp which I have still failed to trap eats them which he did when I bought a few aiptasia eating shrimps, £18 for a meal for a mantis shrimp, better fed than me.

Waffled on too much, run good, be lucky stay healthy.

Turbo snails is an oxymoron surely?

Erimus:
Just got in from the Super sat to main event at the local G where I have managed to bink a seat, happy days, I have to take parents to the airport at 3:30 so may as well bore you with some details.

Seat draw placed to the left of Pokerpops, not the ideal situation but we have to get on with it.

It"s a £30 rebuy with 10 seats guarenteed,  2k starting stack, I 3 bet 10 10, to 200 early doors get the obligatory 3 callers, 9 high flop, checked to me there"s 1k in the pot so just put it all in hope no one has hit a 4, 449 flop 2 diamonds, folds all around , get KK reraise 2 limpers bb makes up limpers fold, flop 89 10 rainbow, guy shoves he only has 650, I make the call he has j 10, don"t avoid the 7 on the river so I am back under starting stack.

I don"t play another hand and take the add on and rebuy so I have 8k at the first break which is 40 bigs, it"s only a 20 min clock so need to get busy.

Unfortunately I go totally card dead and the only hand I won was a walk in the big blind.

I get a table move and blinds are 300/600 I have 7k so in shove mode, push AJ gets through,Hold with A5 v QJ, then a double up with KJ v 22.

I  am still hovering around 10 bigs so can"t make any plays then the following happens folds to me in cut off look down at 33, we are still 3 of a seat, g had made it 11 guarenteed, I shove and get slow rolled by QQ in the big blind, the gentleman in question has been my memisis lately and has cost me at least one seat in previous games due to his unconventional style, flop was Q24, urgh stood up to walk away, turn card was a 6 and the river was the miracle 5, Boom runner runner straight, now I don"t usually show any emotion at the table either winning or losing a hand but i did actually cheer when the 5 hit, especially against this opponent.

When we were down to 12 players one player asked if we all put £45 in the pot all 12 can get the seat and seeing as it was full of regs I agreed but there was 1 person who refused, so the game carried on hand for hand, the short stack shoved 7 bigs from the cut off, I look down at 10 10 I reshove and he tables k 5, now an arguement ensues on the other table and it was at least 10 mins before the flop was dealt, no king appeared and I make a flush on the river, seat gained.

The person who bubbled is a well known local and a few of the players asked if I was prepared to put the £40 towards his seat, now I was happy to do this before the bubble burst and knowing the guy agreed, I only had £30 on me so I  donated, wonder if I had bubbled the same would of happened to me, not sure really but poker karma may come back and reward me.

Friday was my preferred choice of day 1 to play so will be there at 12pm, one time please, couple of sides to play first Tuesdays £100 and Wednesdays £100 6 max, Mondays £75 is a maybe will make a decision on that one later today.

Run good, be lucky stay healthy.

Played the 2 side events of the gukpt and unfortunately bricked both, last night ran KK into AA, nothing much i could do with that one.

Tonights game started ok got from 7k to 12k at first break then dribbled down to 10 bigs after a couple of 3 bets which bricked flops and any c bet was met with resistance, finally got 10 bigs in with A10 on the button, the big blind finds 88 and it holds, fairly standard stuff.

6 max tomorrow night, may give it a swerve will decide nearer the time, looking forward to main event on Friday, saving run good for that one.
