So my younger daughter Rachel has arrived in England for a gap year. She was going to spend it as a Jilleroo, which is like a Jackeroo, which is basically a kind of cowboy, but instead she chose to come to England to work at a boarding school helping with younger children, the same as Rosie did. First reaction - "I can"t believe how cold it is". That was before temperatures went down this week. To rub it in, yesterday was Sydney"s hottest day ever.
Rachel - age 18, going on 11:

I think Brentwood was where Frank Lampard went to school.
Great for you to have her over for a while John.

Yeah, it seems you were right. I went 18 games without cashing, then very min cashed 6/45, then 3 more blanks. That was horrible. I didn"t really think that everything could have changed so dramatically, but when you have made 1 cash in 22 at your best games, you start to wonder.
Now suddenly it has all come back with a vengeance and at exactly the right time. From an exceptional number of misses straight to a ridiculous number of bullseyes - poker is pretty daft. I have been playing the satellites for the TCOOP Stud, Stud Hi-Lo & Razz in the last couple of days, and have been smashing them. Not just crawling over the line, but finishing 1st by a distance from 50-60 runners several times. Picked up 6 seats so far, so a few T$ up irrespective. These are only small-stakes $3 & $5 games with $27 seats for the winners, but it is good to turn that corner.
The main tournaments are on the next three nights and I am looking forward to them now. Obviously you can sink in any event but, on average, I should have reasonable hopes of going deep in one of the three.
