Tales of the Honeybadger
Honeybadg:
Another day - another shove into AA - this time in a six handed turbo with A9 getting towards the money ...
Powder dry until the weekend - have decided to play the £600+60 at The Vic - 10,000 chips - 40 min levels - perhaps a little quick - but will suit my current game!
Will be interesting to see how many runners they get ... last year a comparable event got a meagre 65!
Would settle for 100 runners - and a shoot at £18k ish.

Pretty pleased with this :
"Have a chunk on Federer to win the O2 Tennis - 2/1 very decent - though Berdych - mega value at 23/1 - Beat 3/1 Murray fair and square last week." Federer a bit less than 1/2 Berdych 9/1.
Even more pleased to be heading to the Vic for their £600+60 side event today - I think 100 runners is widely optimistic - but let"s see what happens!
Time to take something down.

GUKPT side event - Early exit (Level 3) - QQ as over pair vs flopped set - It"s standard and annoying - but on balance I could and should have got away with at least some of my chips ...
Elements of my early play was pleasing - set up a maniac image in order to get paid later - but this makes the overpair very hard to fold!
Only 59 runners - I was about 10th out - doesn"t feel I gave it the maximum chance - albeit if you think you are ahead I think you have to get the chips in and force the hard (or in this case easy) decision!
Feels like a super damp squib as an end to face to face poker in 2011!
Now home - just in time for Betfair Grand Prix - and could have been out turning trip 8"s with 86 - river is a 3 - checked to me I bet - flat called by 83 for the rivered house - pretty hard to see how I was going to fold that one too! But instead I have a life!
However it"s not a long life - TT I raise the two limpers flat called by KT - flop is three clubs - villian puts in a micro bet -ahh the day of the over pair - I shove - called by the King flush draw (I had the ten of clubes) which duly spikes and dead.
I guess lots of time to ponder my attack on the Warm Up tomorrow!

Honeybadg:
Of course - always one more tournament and one more way to lose - QQ vs AK about half way through the Betfair $30k g"tee ...

Honeybadg:
Haunted by Queens ... this time in the Sunday Warm up ...
I limped under the gun with QQ - 5 players - not great but flop in Q87 rainbow - I bet and get one caller.
Turn J - I bet
River K - I bet and am committed - vs the inspirational AT
It"s a pretty hopeful call with three to act after with AT on the flop.
If anyone else wants to dance then I very likely get fully paid - but as it is bad calls are very well rewarded with the fishy straight on the river ...
A weekend to consign to the memory and file - QQ horror show.
