I haven"t forgotten this blog, just been working so much and very little free time.
I haven"t played much online at all, and live even less so.
I"ll update properly over the weekend as I have a little bit of free time on Sunday/Monday!

Very few. Lots of holidays at work, and a stocktake coming up which I run. I"ll be playing when I fancy and when I"m not falling asleep.
Have a couple of days off now, but having taken out my bankroll earlier in the year ( and Cardiff being good), my online bankroll is minimal, and after Cardiff, it"s definitely awakened my want to play live. So today, it"s off to the G in Salford. Will either play this afternoon or evening, or possibly even both as I"m also off tomorrow. My next day off is then next Sunday.
Just a quick roll back to Cardiff first.
Had an arduous 4 hour train journey down. A lovely 2 carraige train, no free tables, no wifi, no plug sockets. I"ve been through worse so was a case of get the Ipod on and wile away the time.
Get to Cardiff, most impressed with the Future Inn, and meet up with Sharon, Rodders and Darren, and end up playing the Friday night tourny at the G. Darren did his stack 1st hand, he re-entered. I did mine 2nd hand to Darren! Was a good laugh, ended up bubbling the final table.
In the main event ran up to 35k quickly, in the process wininng a decent pot with 7d 6d on a 7 K Q 10 6 board. Then made 4 raises in a row, losing a flip with AK vs QQ, then knocking out Ben Young AK v A9, 9 1st card, K on the turn. Get moved tables then proceed to go card dead, having to fold my 2 best hands, 10 10 and 99 to raises and reraises before the action reached me.
End up being fairly short, into shove mode, then faced with a raiser in my small blind, look down at AKos and the caller has the same AKos. He 4 flushes. Puke.
Play the Omaha and somehow lukcbox to 3rd despite not particularly knowing what I was doing. Get 3 handed and Luca is raising everything. I have KK44 and come over the top, of course he has AA88. Damn good fun though.
Have to definitely give Cork a miss which is disappointing, and at the mo, I"m 99% certain to miss Dtd but will do what I can. Glasgow is a definite and looking at booking everything asap.

Very little time to play and having to withdraw pretty much everything from my bankroll sucks.
Managed to play a lil bit during the week. Managed to win my 1st tourny of the year on Stars, however was the $3.30 Horse for a whopping $44.
Will update properly when I get time ( I think tomorrow afternoon as I"ve a few things I want to post!)

That"s a great result though, I would be really happy to get $44 in a $3.30 tournament ROI ftw.
Also if you want a bigger BR why not sell some action. APAT has a staking board now. I would buy a piece and I would not be the only one I know.
