Well It has been a while and a lot has happened -
We have had the First National "live" event - The Weather has been up and down - and a bit sideways - England"s cricketers continue to defy logic and lose to one of the worst sides in test cricket (although improving) - And Arsenal continue to frustate the hell out of me, oh and i have played a few hands of poker along the way as well!
First i must congratulate Steve "AMRN" Redfern on his win at Wallsall - two solid days of poker - WP sir!!!
Also Congratulations to all those that cashed and everyone that managed to brave the elements to get there, i cant wait for my first live event - which will hopefully be the worlds -all the events!!!!!! - i am slowly talking my girlfreind into it - even promising her i"ll stake her in the ME!!!
Regardless of the BS that appears to have happened i am sure that the majority loved it - i know i was jelous!! and roll on the Next one!
As regards English Cricket - Don (logie66) is reporting so i wont say too much!! but there is like most sports in this country a tendincy to stick with the same people for too long - especially the batting line up, if your not performing your dropped - in this country the menagement are all too easily blamed when it is the players that should take a long hard look at themselves!!!
Arsenal - Why is Eboue still there? why is Adebayor still there?? anyone? Arsene if you reading this - what is happening? - Buy a World class Defensive midfeilder! or just a decent one!!
Poker wise - not a lot really to report - i have however discovered a severe dislike too KK as it apears to get out drawn however i play it - badly mostly - but hey i never claimed to be Ivey!

I"m sure it"s the first thing he logs onto after training every day Robert ;D
As for the cricket, now Logie is out there, it"s all gonna change.

I havent really played much poker in the last few days - I have had real world stuff to do and as it is valentines day today - i doubt that i"ll get much poker in today - as i am sure that Tanya will expect me to take her out! but what can you do - sometimes i have to put her first!
I will be playing the League Game tomorrow but will sadly be missing the Welsh online (yes i am back playing the nationals - I cant not - I am now a fully engrossed APAT member - and feel it is a duty to juice the Prizepool wherever possible) - as one of my longest standing friends is getting married in April and it is the stag next weekend and i am off to Antwerp!!!
Not to sure what to make about the choice of antwerp as a Stag destination - but it is the home of Gin and this is one of my favourite tipples! also not sure of if there is a casino there - so maybe no poker next weekend at all (apart from the cash games that will no dobt take place on the Eurostar on the way there and back) - but i am sure that i"ll cope!
Good luck to all those that are lucky enough to play tonight and to all those that have better halves - on nights sacrifice for a whole years peace - its gotta be worth it!!
Good luck all

Well another League game under my belt - Total Points = 0 - Total team Points = 0, well it is a start for the North London team - not a good one but its early doors and i am sure that we will vastly improve - we should, we have nearly a 6th of the Feild playing!!!!
i was however pleased with how i played - i Stole the odd blind - I laid down a straight (beaten by a Higher straight and a FH) - which i was pretty pleased with! and then i managed To pick up kings in the BB and see a raise and a Shove in front of me - Lickety Lick my chops went - Re-shove All in from me - I had about 5.5k with the blinds at 200/400 - The initial rasier - who had played very loose - thinks about it - and After some encouragement from another player - who was not in the hand - and i think is out of order - he calls (he could have folded and still had chips) and just has me covered - Obviously the MP player is all in - so we See the Board 3 Ways - Initial raiser Ah Jh - MP all in Jd Jc and me with Two Black Kings -
Unsurprisingly - an Ace Flops in the Window and a J on the turn - Leaving Both the Initail rasier with 4k - MP player with 9k and me out!!!!! instead of winning a 13k pot i am left cursing!!!
oh well thems the breaks - i got the money in good and the poker gods kicked me in the nuts!!
Now - i must get back to my Game - i have Some WACOP seats to pay for.......
