So - I will be absent from the Thursday Home Game on October 4th. I"ll miss the banter and the drunkenness (well, I"ll miss the banter) and I"ll miss the chance to be the only sober man in the room.

Brief update on the pokers... made 3rd in the Sunday tournament last week for £180. There were 33 entries and a prize pool of £990. It seemed the game was getting popular.
Tuesday"s game at G didn"t happen. Again.
Played a brief session on the £1/£2 table at Gala the Casino I don"t want to name. They have some issues there at the moment with some of the senior players accusing the younger ones of collusion of some form. This has led to the introduction of a rule which makes it compulsory for all players to reveal their hands at showdown, and for cards to be tabled when players are all in.
There are rumours around too that suggest that some of the dealers have been involved in pots that were, shall we say, suspicious. I have no way of knowing if there is anything untoward occurring in either respect and will just revert to my policy of not playing there.
My session started well, then slipped into not so well and I ended it early for a small loss of £30. It was early enough to swing by the G and join a short-handed game there which more than recovered the loss :)
Getting AA when you"ve straddled and the other five have limped in is generally a good spot.
It"s even better when there"s an Ace on the flop and people flop two pair...
Thursday - no nobbers game due to al sorts of reasons, including the Chezger contingent wanting an early night so again I played the 25/50 at G. An interesting evening which came out around breakeven despite losing a £250 pot where my Ac Kc wasn"t enough to beat Ah 6d. We got it in on the turn when villain crai on Ks 9c 6h 6c
I"m calling £80 to win £150 which looks thin until you know the villain who has a fair amount of bluffs in his range for this move...
he was running good and playing some very thinking poker all night. The highlight being when he got it in, again on the turn, with a pair and a gutshot vs a flopped set of Kings and hit the 4-outer on the river. But, as he said, Kings was pretty much the only hand that can call the shove..
Sunday - watched the Liverpool - United game and had a small bet on United to win when Liverpool scored. That shifted the odds to 9/2 and the price didn"t last long so I"ll take that as my betting coup for the month year. I bet rarely on football, and even more rarely on games involving United.
Played the Sunday £15+£15 again at the G and unusually for me, accepted a 3-way chop. It was offered by the chipleader who had around 60% of the chips in play. £210 was much better than the £140 on offer for 3rd and marginally better than the £200 for 2nd.
A short spin on the cash tables for a doubling of my buyin and a decent week all round.
This week started badly on the life front though...
Lucy"s central heating wouldn"t light and she has a leaky roof which is now, under the weight of rainfall we"ve been getting, forcing us to have buckets and other containers catching the drips.
The plumber arrived yesterday and we know the issue and have the replacement part ready to be fitted.
The roofers all said - "can"t look in this weather, we"ll be in touch....."
sigh
