Curlarge:
All good mate. You"re obv. reading things well, apart from the pre-flop folds ;).
Grind away my boy, grind away.

Level 3 - 150/300 - 34,050 chips left at the end of the level.
Another busy level. I"ll try and use paragraphs this time!
Hand 1: I raise UTG with 99 (is that too loose in the ME?), one caller. Flop J74, I bet 1,100 and he calls. Turn the Qh giving three hearts. I bet 2,500 and he calls. I don"t like this! The river is a two and I check fold. Annoying. Down to 26k.
Hand 2: Mr UTG does one of his UTG calls and Beppe makes it 1500. I make it 4k from the BB with TT. Beppe gives me a right old stare before folding. Up to 29k.
Hand 3: seat 8 raises (the big stack) to 900, the loose bloke to my right calls, so I go for a squeeze on the button with 22. I make it 3,200. The big stack makes it 8k. Oops.
Hand 4: the very next hand I get AK and raise, no callers. On 25k.
Hand 5: I raise the button with As9s and the BB calls. The flop is jack high with two spades. He bets 1300 and I call (I think I should have raised). The turn is the Qc and he bets 2,300. I fold, painfully.
Hand 6: I get QQ against the same bloke and he calls my raise. Flop is JT5. I bet and he calls. Turn is an eight. I check call. River is another ten. I check and so does he. My queens are good. He says he was thinking of pushing. I was planning to call a smaller bet, but calling a push? Not sure I would have.
Hand 7: the Italian raises in late position and I call from the SB with KJ. A bit loose, but he has show some dodgy hands and folded to bets/raises. The flop is A42. I bet to rep the ace and he calls. Hmm. Jack on the turn, although I"m not sure that helps. I check, he makes it 1,300 and I raise to 4k. He folds. So a nice last 20 minutes that puts me up to 34k.
This is a tough grind! Also, although the levels are two hours, we are up to 150/300 already, and the pots can get out of hand very quickly. I still have over 100 BBs, though, so nothing to worry about. I should go and get something to eat...

Forgot to mention - the Beppe banter has got quite amusing. I"m clearly the only one who knows he was on Eastenders. Actually, I"m the only one who knows what Eastenders is! Beppe is pretending that he plays football in Japan or some s**t like that. All very amusing. Plus, Liz Hurley has turned up to watch Warne. Reasonably attractive...
