I get around...
Just watching the first few hands of the GP Stream - if only I could hear what the commentators are saying!
By the way - I should publicly acknowledge the support I got from Caroline over the two days. Her words of wisdom (and her rubs) helped to keep me going!
I have some game for an old bloke apparently...

Saturday evening, no plans for the weekend and I"m reading the updates on Blonde for the £500 Deepstack at DTD with a £200,000 gtee.
Overlay predicted and they"re running an extra set of online satellites so I register for a E20 feeder into the 8.10 5 seats guaranteed...
At 7.55 I have a seat into the satellite and we"re off.
Lots of re-entries means that the smal field covers the cost of the 5 seats with a little something looking likely for 6th.
10 left and I get it in over a limp and a call with 77
limp and call have QQ and Kk respectively
I river the straight...
7 left and the two shorties have just doubled up and now it"s me that"s short
Folds to me with Kh 8h on the button, easy shove to pick up the blinds and antes and besides K8 did me great service on the Final Table last week
BB wakes up with Ah 10h and makes a dubious call when he could fold to the seat
No binkage and I"m left with the pure bubble zero and no trip to DTD for the first weekend in four weeks.
Instead I play the £15+£15 at G Stockton where I raise 88 and get one caller, flop is J8x and I lead out on flop and turn and check the river which brings a third club and an unlikely but possible straight. He bets a smallish amount on the river which I call because it doesn"t look like a flush or a straight only to be shown JJ for the flopped set over set..
A little later I shove AK into AA and the glory days seem to be behind me now.
I stayed at the table and dealt for the next couple of levels - lols aplenty as i watch a decently structured tourney turned into a crapshoot by people who fold their big blind leaving themselves 1.5BB behind and by people who raise fold from an 8 BB stack.
As I left they were still on the final table bubble with 11 left.
Average stack 44,000
Blinds about to go to 5,000/10,000
Poker? I don"t think so.
Play of the night contender...
As reported by the initial raiser...
"So, I open minraise Qd 9d from the button at 3k/6k and the short stack"s in the SB and shoves 14k which the BB flats...
Flop is J high with one diamond and BB bets 20k which is half his stack so I fold and the board comes runner runner diamonds and BB shows AQ and loses to SB"s flopped set of Jacks and if he hadn"t bet into a dry sidepot and we"d checked it down I"d have made a flush and knocked him out instead of him trebling up...whinge whinge whinge"
Discussed the need for antes to be brought back in these tourneys to help winnow out the field much earlier, but I still have issues with antes in self-dealt tourneys. It slows the game so much that it almost counteracts the benefit they bring.
Views on this appreciated...
DTD Grand Prix VII satellites start today... I will be there, I will be there with a Golden Chip
