Like those Aces haha... in that Aria tournament, the 1st pocket pair I had over 4"s were those Aces with 11 of us left, then on the final table, 1st hand won a big pot vs Mich where I had QQ! That was bluntly the hardest and toughest grind of a tournament I"d ever had!
And I"m still pretty shocked your good self managed to lay down QQ to me on that flop! I know if the roles were reversed I"d have probably shoved - aka Billy bigstack has just come onto my table, and is reraising more than most people have on the table... I have QQ on a 9 hi flop, it"s going in!!
I will say it has been an utter pleasure spending time with you in both Manchester and Brighton, and I"m looking forward in season 6 to firstly be playing more of the tournaments, and secondly spending times with people like yourself, Rich Baker as well as the guys n girls I know from Blonde, as well as, no doubt, the new people I"ll be spending time with at and away from the table in whichever towns, cities, countries or continents we end up on this season!

No online poker for 3 days now, working lates kills that! I"m off work now until Tuesday, have a few lil bits here n there to do, but hoping to get some good volume in, assuming I don"t get the CBA hitting me!
However, tonight is going to be in the land of the G in Salford, and their Friday night £10 + one £5 rebuy, which usually gets between 60 and 160 runners. It"s time to outfish everyone :)

Got down to the last 2 tables last night, however luck eluded me, picked up Ah Qh in the bb, with just over 12bb"s at 1k-2k, I was calling anything, and did, however, the other bloke had Ac Kc
Played 30 sng"s today, run horribly, with just 3 wins. The problem was the 4th set of 6, where I bubbled 4 times, once when shortstacked, the other 3 when being in well ahead ( AQ v Q4 sticks to the mind). Take that out of the equation and I finish up for the 30.
Games played: 80
Bankroll: $151.95 (-$1.01)
No plans tonight as I"m working tomorrow and saving the pennies up in order to play more APAT's, the Blondebash and the Chezger home game. It"s tough to say which I"m looking forward to most. Will obviously wait and see, as it all depends when and where everything is happening!
At the moment though, it looks like I won"t be going to the Blonde bash as I"m off the 2 weeks before it, so it means I"m 99% certain to be working that weekend. However, if it seems to be, as planned for the Sunday only, I won"t be quite as fussed.
Right, time for food after watching the rest of this England v Italy game, then will either grind some more or a bit of COD.

Played the £15 f/out in the G last night, got a whopping 28 runners. Having now 5 casinos offering poker within 10 miles of each other, generally all around the same buy ins has pretty much killed some of the tournaments.
Table I was on was a laugh, some decent banter flying about.
In the 2nd level, get dealt KK in middle position, and the active player in seat 1 has already raised to 500. Decide to flat call and play him on the flop. Not in the plan, was a tight bloke raising to 3.5k ( 7k starting stacks). Can"t fold KK so go all in, he has AA obviously. Get lucky with the K on the flop to double up.
Manage to get a double up with K5 on the bb later on, turning trip K"s, but as with Friday, my luck was to run out. Shove A6 suited and ran into KK, had the flush and straight draws on the turn but missed.
Have spent the afternoon experimenting with cascading tables rather than tiling them which is what I"m completely used to.
Played 2 sets of 8 and 1 set of 10, and I actually focused more and played better in the 10, was up in 2 sessions and down in 1. Will play another set of 10 later after food, and possibly 2. It would be more, however I have to, by Wednesday, complete the most dreaded of things, the "self-appraisal". I absolutely loathe doing them as I can never think of what to write, whilst being objective and sensible, so as usual, will probably do it last minute on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
Anyways, enough rambling, it"s time for sausages and wedges!
