Not a huge amount to update. Been playing batches of 6 of the 180s and it"s fair to say I"m running like dog. 3 times I"ve got onto the FT bubble in the CL, twice I"ve finished 10th, 1st time dealt AA in bb, sb shoves with 98sh, even though I hit the A, I lose, next hand 10 10 in sb, UTG has shoved, he has K 10 and spikes :/
Very last one of the night last night I finish 5th, being one of 3 with chips, and the 2 shorties contiually double up, eventually I shoved AJ called by AK and, even though I picked up a flush draw on the flop, it obviously didn"t come.
Will play a few more of these today, but running low on funds so need a good day. Not so far, at 25/50 with 4 limpers, I bump it up to 300, and someone decides K 3os is a good hand UTG at this point?
Cricket went well on Saturday. We bowled first, had them 31-4 but they recovered to 149ao. I didn"t really help the cause, dropping a tough one at point ( my least favourite fielding position), my second ball got an edge through to the keeper which he caught, I go up to celebrate, no he hadn"t hit it, it"d just seamed that much :( Then get a difficult caught and bowled chance where he was through the shot and got a leading edge, the ball went pretty much straight up and down and despite a full length dive, only got by fingertips to it. Only bowled 5 overs, went 5-0-20-0. Was batting at 5, but we scored at a run a ball from the start more or less, winning by 8 wickets.
This Saturday, we have a very good team away from home, and these guys turned over the Sri Lankan team who destroyed us. Think I may get a bat in this one ;D
It"s the last of my extra days off work today, so going to play a little bit online, already been for a good long walk for an hour to stretch my legs after watching England get S Africa 80-8 then let them get away.

Against me for 20% of his chips? No idea. I have AQ with the Ah on a 3 hearts board, and he calls my shove with it
( no hearts)????
Anyways, I"ve got a ton on coming up so going to be a busy boy. Will continue attempting to grind the 180s for the rest of the month, and pokerwise that should be it, no opportunity to play live at the moment, and no chance of playing Coventry :(
However, then I have Cardiff in August, hopefully HOPEFULLY at least some of DtD in August, then the GPS in Stoke in September, using the added value seat I won for winning the online rankings, and hoping for a decent result in something in one of these events, as compared to my online results, my live APAT results, for me, are a little disappointing. I will be giving it a damn good go this season.
Work wise, I have a store reflow to do for the end of July, which will be joyous. Cricket tomorrow will be played just outside Sandbach, assuming we get a game in.

I meant why do you make it 300 at 25/50. This makes no sense in these, you don"t thin the field very often and if you miss the flop you have to check/fold. Just raise smaller, it achieves the same goal but costs you less when you have to check/fold on a load of boards. Also gives you room to make a profitable cbet in some circumstances (pretty rare but possible)
