Thought i would try online tonight for a change, first game online for a week or so managed to finish 30/600 on tilt for $50, close but no cigar.
I had £20 left on Dtd so i put in the extra £5 and played a sat for the weekend 6 max, i managed to bink a seat but it went down hill from there.
Dave was playing so we swopped our usual 10% and we ended up on the same table for the first hour.
1st hour went from 30k to 20k, buth 2cd hour got up to 52k and in decent shape, then the trouble started no moaning here was happy with plays just got unlucky, all part and parcel.
3 BET AK from buttons min raise, he/she flatted q10, flop k 10 10, there is one shortie doubled up then.
i get moved to Leighs table who triple barrels on a Ace high flop, cant remember his holding but villains A3 was good, was a good attempt at winning the pot
but if Leigh had asked me first i would of told him not to attempt to bluff this guy as my stack found out in the first hour, calling station.
I hit a set of 9s v same guy who had flopped the straight,and even though i bet all 3 streets i had an inkling he had it but i had outs and the deck didnt work for me.
Actually enjoyed the 6 max format of the game for a change, might get back to sky and drop a few quid on there.
Currently railing Dave who has made day 2 with 66k which will be 30 bigs I would imagine, wp sir, bring it home.
All good fun tonight. Passport arrived today was supposed to be on a week service it arrived after 2 days glad I didn"t bother with the £128 same day service, insurance sorted, just need to get the dollars and Esta and I am sorted, happy days.

Have you booked your seat on the flying aeroplane?
I am in 36G with Stu, Matt and Phil to my right. Seat next to me is free so may as well book that.

Having Rodders as a barrier between you and the Three Reprobates Musketeers sounds like a great spot!

Ok, run good come to a halt, Fridays game at Gala ended with me losing a flip Ak v 10 10, think I was slow rolled as as he had 3 bet my early position raise with a bet which pot committed him but he still agonised on calling with his 10 10, flop included a 10 and the turn gave me the ace as a little rub down, was all standard stuff, just wish the villain didn"t huff and puff for five minutes before sigh calling off, if you think your in front just get the chips in the middle, have to win the flips late on finished 15th I think.
Saturday was back to my roots playing turbo sngs with my brother and some mates, having a few beers and a very hot chillie was a fun night until at the the end a bit of an argument started over nothing, the atmosphere became a bit chilly, so the final game was abandoned, we all get a text from the protagonist the following day apologising for his behaviour, that was always going to happen so it"s no biggie, no one going to fall out over it, too old and daft. Alcohol probably had an involvement and an inadvertent comment regarding Middlesbrough Football Club from our host, mountain, mole hill comes to mind.
Poker wise I won a couple of games and a 3rd place gave me a free night out, paid for my beer and paid into G "s, 15/15 tonight which was a total non event for me, lost a flip at the end and was home by 8:45.
It"s still fun to watch people losing a 15k stack for £30, then another 15k for another £30 all before the middle of the second level, I can understand it if they were in situations which were coolers but they were just nothing hands which got way out of control, unfortunately I wasn"t one of the recipients of said chips, and even though I made the break with 22k, a few 3 bets which didn"t materialise into anything I was soon in shove or fold mode and lost with 33 v AQ, not winning the flips in the last few days.
Getting everything sorted for Vegas now Flight booked, Passport done, Esta done, rooms booked ( via Mathew), get $$$ this week and I will be ready for the off, no online play apart from the Dtd sat on Thursday and the subsequent online day 1 which I bricked as above.
Tempted to play on Sky and try and qualify for their grand final next weekend at Dtd but can feel a cold coming on so will just see how that pans out, run good be Lucky stay healthy.

G tonight, had the pleasure of Stuart sat to my right for the first few levels, and was the usual fun table, not as manic as a Sunday but some odd plays and decisions, I benefitted with a raise from the cut off with Kings, bb defends with K4, flop contains a 4 so villain leads out, an easy raise from me, turn a brick, I lead out and get called with 4th pair for a nice double before the break.
My usual thing in these things is if I have below 15k before the break I will take the add on, I had 12k so I purchased the add on for a 20k stack after the break.
We get to 12 left and am looking for a spot when I get lucky with AJ v 1010, an ace on the river saved my bacon, I had the guy covered and his range is pretty wide there so was an easy call.
Guy sat to my right has indicated he is waiting to get to the final table for the extra league points and was an easy target on the ft bubble, he limps, most people shove over him and he folds, this gets annoying later.
Guy shoves 26k at 500/1000 with AJ, I have 99 in big blind (30k)and make the call, don"t like the jack on the flop, but the 9 on the river means another final table.
We get to 4 handed and the guy playing for the league points is still hanging on to his 4 big blind stack and wins every time he shoves, and for some reason always has AJ+.
He limps from utg at 3k/6k, i jam q9 suited, he is never calling but button finds 10 10 and it holds v my q9, original limper folded as expected, so I finished 4th for £200, which is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, 3rd would of been another £160 if the shortie had done the decent thing and lost one of his all ins, hey ho just got to get on with it.
Off for physio on my finger later today, basically seeing how far I can now bend it, still can"t make a fist with my left hand and my left handed world record juggling act is still suspended until further notice, may buy a fish today, tank has been set up 1 year now, although I have lost a few corals, only one fish has died on me, thanks for reading, run good, be lucky, stay healthy.
