Tales of the Honeybadger
Honeybadg:
Qualified for the Sunday Main Event on I-Poker.
Buy in $300 + 20 - likely to be 800 Runners.
I am there for $154 ... so I will divert away from the PokerStars Warm Up.
Pushed with A9 to kill QQ in the BB.
Tough for the Queens who later pushed with JJ in to 99 ... and AA from the ChipLeader to create a double bubble ... and send me to the show.
I have been playing a little cash and playing with PokerTracker which might sway me into playing for cash ... we shall see ...
Cash today was +$8 ... just filling breaks ... so +$551 ... with a go at the $250k.
6th place and up - to reach my $10k target in a week ... what price?

Honeybadg:
... middle of the field in the $250k ... NO CARDS ... pushed with what seemed like top pair and a gutshot ... ran into trips ...
In the league match ... played loose ... then got cards ... then rather gave it away ... top pair and top kicker into a set ... but I could have got away from it.
Go Edinburgh.
Get drawn into a final foray in the Betfair Eyes Wide Shut ... no joy ... - $57 ... for a RT of +$494 ...
Nay - Golf bets to net off too ... make that +$354 ...

Honeybadg:
... beautifully sunny in London today ... 17 degrees ... so they say ...
Nice to wander across Tower Bridge in the sparkling sunshine ... time for sunglasses at last ... but when the shades go on ... you think and smile of poker too!
I will play the Sat tonight ... pondering options for later in the week.
£200 freeze out at the Loose Cannon in London on Thursday night. (No idea how many runners are expected!)
£300 GUKPT event at the Vic starting Thursday at 8pm - two days - last year got 165 runners.
Pondering ...

Honeybadg:
Eyes Wide Shut my savour again ... this time due to outrageous luck ... but definately going to take that ...
4th place this time ... for $500 and $480 up on the day ... RT +$834.
Last 7 runnings (that I have played) of the event I have finished 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th ...
Not sure what this makes me think about GUKPT events ... with that luck I had I would go far ... but perhaps it is purely for nonsense turbos ...
Failed to qualify for the World Amateur thing ... endless mid pairs ... none hit ... such is life ...
L
Honeybadg:
... no progress today ... just played the Eyes Wide Shut and got no where ... called QQ vs 99 ... and JJ came for the ride ... Queens held up ... and then I pusked with K7 into AJ ... King on the river makes a pair for me but a flush for my opponent ...
All pretty standard ... played come cash ... win and then back to level - $54.
RT+$780.
