Erimus:
Last post of the month, frustrating month online especially on Stars, some really deep runs only to get unlucky at the business end, hey ho it is what it is, all details can be seen in above posts so won"t go over old ground.
Full tilt had another winning month but again nothing substantial, started really well, then fell away, then had a good result then fell away but that is the nature of mtts, still think Full Tilt is so soft compared to Stars but they have started to reduce one or two of their guarentees during the day, reached Platinum on their edge rewards thing so a few extra $$$ at the end of the week, just looked on opr and I haven"t cashed in my last 20 mtts which is pretty poor form but all part of the fun, just done a review of some hand histories and tbh don"t think I have played badly just variance not being on my side, sure it will turn around.
Started to play a few turbo sats for tourney dollars which has helped, 300 chips to start and people still limp fold. I don"t think there is any skill but sometimes the value is too good not to jump in and try and get lucky.
Live play this month has seen me lose or break even, cant be bothered to work it out, but either way it"s not significant.
Looking forward to Coventry, only myself and Stuart from the Stockton massive attending I think. If you are a reader of this thing would be nice to meet up for a chat and you can put a face to these ramblings.

Quick report on Coventry, really enjoyed the game don't fancy the £30 freezouts at home now, structure superb, affordable buy in played in the right atmosphere etc all round superb entertainment.
Starting table contained some familiar faces and although it wasn't mad aggro it was difficult to pick up chips every one was solid and played really well, I had the eventual winner to my left all day and as Rodders said he did play really well, although he should of reraised me when I turned a boat, but he only had A high so the chips I got were probably all I was going to get.
Had the situation of AA me v KK , but villain had a feeling and got away from it losing the minimum whilst I only won the minimum, actually had AA 3x against the same Guy and he got away all 3 times well played sir whoever you are.
I was always hovering between 20/30 bigs when I look down at QQ in the big blind and it had been raised utg I decide to flat, Ace high flop Adilong leads for 2k I think, he should be c bettimg this flop all day long so I repop to 5k2, he repops so I give up, he shows me Ak nh sir, could of lost the lot all in pre so lost the minimum.
Back to 30k again, Rodders raise utg, I have 77 in bb, I 3 bet to 5k, he 4 bets me to 14k, shove or fold for me here, don't think he does this with 66 downwards so put him on 10+ , AK suited, online I might take the flip, I let it go he didnt show but said we were flipping so I would say AK, think he folds AJ and poss AQ to my 3 bet pre, nh sir.
Incidentally the above 2 villains are currently in my stake on Full Tilt not the way to treat someone who is currently making them a bit, only joking pleasure playing with you guys.
My game killing hand raise QJ off mid position, (see not only AA in my raising range), sb and bb both call flop aj9 2 hearts not ideal its checked back to me and I check pot control ( or being a wimp), turn is a k hearts, checked to me I lead out now, sb calls, river is a j so I have made trips.
I bet out and am called and beaten by 57 hearts, flush baby, massive sigh so instead of 45k back to 17, any heart on the river I have the nuts, oh well.
Utg min raises, I jam A7 with 15 bigs, Rodders wakes up with KK, I miss gg me, glad the Ace didn't hit as Rodders had already lost a similar one a few hands earlier and would have been a bit unjust, all in all a really enjoyable game didn't make any mistakes best I have played for a long time tbh.
Small brag alert, retuned home fired up 3 mtts on Tilt, got a third in a Knockout for $960 plus a few bounties which took us to over $1k, then finished 15th for $75 in another, played the Trex but nothing happened in that lost a flip trying to get a stack.
May have a new project on the go will reveal all when I have heard back from the people in the Full Tilt stake, watch this space, that's if you do watch this space, gone on a bit again.
Run good, be lucky stay healthy.

Off to decent start to July, managed a 3rd at the local G tonight for £400, also got my first ever live Royal Flush.
Been asleep for first levels, literally only played 2 hands, limp utg from Ray ( you may Remeber him from a previous post) utg + 1 flats, I raise to 400 Ac Kc 3 callers behind.
Ray min raises me here to 950, ( he has 3 hands in his range here, i am splitting with him or have 30% equity or i am screwed.
utg calls, I just call , it just looks too pretty, looking to flop a flush draw here nothing else if an ace or king comes, I am folding, (still a nit at heart).
Pot is now about 5k ish, flop Qc 10c 9d, ray jams all his chips in around 5k, utg jams his chips in, gamble time for me, all in, nfd, straight draw and royal flush draw, guy behind tanks for ages pot is around 25k and he decides to get it all in he is getting about 5 to 1, utg shows AA (told you), utg + 1, 9 10 for 2 pair my with Ackc and guy behind with 5c6c, turn card Jc, river 10, guy who has boat cheers not realising he was drawing dead on the turn, scoop 32k in level 2.
I didn"t bother with the add on, get to the ft with about 25 bigs, bubble is paid then I get KK v AJ which holds then AA v 88 which holds, get it all in A10 v A4, for 2cd in chips, chop it, yuk, then lose a flip, I run so bad, ::) ::) ::),some one has an early flight to Spain today and wants to deal I only have about 5 bigs ask for an equal chop, wasnt going to happen , I took £400, instead of £325, the other two split the rest, happy with that although I could of just tried to gamble the 5 bigs, Susan had just phoned to ask me to get home as she needed her bed.
Got to a final table on Tilt as well but only managed 8th for $60 but still good to get there and be in with a chance.
