Don"t know about you guys, but I the standard of play in this was terrible

I late regged and just sat there patiently, the general standard seems poor, but then I am not great I am just patient.

Not a bad idea at all. I"ll definitely be keeping my eye on low value hi/lo events in the next series Pokerstars do as so few people seemed to know the basics of how to play the game.I"m no great shakes at them either, but there is definitely an opportunity for some serious money in one of these due to the amount of dead wood

My PC issues are still present, I still can"t use holdem manager but frankly I"m beyond caring. Over the past month I played considerably less than I have for some time and upped the percentage of my playing hours devoted to tournament play. I"m running appallingly at the moment; I seem to forever get to just outside the money then run a big pair into a slightly bigger pair. Cash play is going well and I"ve had one of my all too regular changes of direction. I had a few quid on Sky and as that site hardly ever has any traffic on full ring tables I"ve been forced to play short-handed. It may just be that I pay attention when I"m involved more, but I haven"t been making some of the stupid mistakes that have blighted my game for the rest of the year.
In 3 weeks I will probably be making one of my rarer-than-a-straight-bloke-who-doesn"t-fancy-Pippa-Middleton forays into live poker. As mentioned previously on this blog, I am heading to Cardiff on Saturday 25th June for the Speedway Grandprix. As I"ve got the preceding week off work, I"m going to make the journey in stages. On that friday, I will be in the Somerset/Severn Bridge area and on the thursday I should be paying a visit to the Grosvenor at Walsall. I admit its my least favourite Grosvenor that I"ve been to (TheVic,Coventry,Luton,Cardiff,Bolton,Walsall - Great yarmouth doesn"t really count as it feels more like a big private home than a casino), but their schedule currently shows a 8000 chip,£25 freezeout on thursday afternoon at 4.30pm and that looks like a pretty decent reason to stop off en route. Shame they haven"t got something like that at Coventry the same afternoon/evening.

Still with the cash grinding and on the whole its going well, although Betfair has seen fit to kick me in the nuts a couple of times today.
I"m getting dead excited as tonight I"m off to see this lot play their first gig in five years

At bleeding last! I had the call I"d been waiting for yesterday; my brother-in-law said he"d managed to coax PC number one out of its nervous breakdown and almost all my files have been recovered. The only exception was the database containing the tens of thousands of hands I"d racked-up in Hold'em manager in the first half of this year, so its back to square one on that score.
Its not all bad news though as my cash play seems healthier now than it ever has been, so maybe my system problems have been a blessing in disguise. Over the past couple of weeks I"ve been concentrating on Betfair"s 5-handed tables and its been quite a revelation. Over the past few months I"ve had far more profitable than loss making cash sessions, but when I"m bad,I"m really bad. I can honestly say I"ve not made any glaring errors since my recent attempt to play the smaller tables started and all the schoolboy errors I was making in full-ring games (playing for too long,playing when tired,not getting away from big starting hands,tilting too easily) seem to have disappeared for now. Playing 2 five-handed tables for short,sharp sessions seems to be much more me than spending hours in front of 3 ten player tables.
