Tales of the Honeybadger
Honeybadg:
... felt a little gutted to win only +£435 on Wigan last week ... could have easily bet straight at the 1-0 ... GRRR!
Anyway - Sat 2 for Wembley - Finland to win the Eurovision Song Contest - Finland just under 50/1 - They were more this morning - Pop Bubblegum plus girl/girl kiss takes on the Power Ballads. It would be the best way to qualify ... if it doesn"t win - I will have to try the normal route tomorrow night!
Denmark odds on - not as catchy as other favourites - some saver money on Finland without the favourite.
See what happens ...

Wembley bound?
Finland did me no favours that night - so I will have to look to "qualify" in conventional fashion.
DTD new skin - fine - but hard work to get set up - database shared with Genting - fine - but cannot be a great surprise that you might want to use the same debit/credit card ...
830pm kick off - not ideal - it will be interesting to see the number of runners.
If you make it through with 50k chips - that would be 250BB - so in a way taking 25k through would be fine - might have to take a siesta this afternoon to prepare!?!

So the Wembley dream has come true ... albeit with only 105BBs to take to day 2.
Great structure to Day 1(B) ... lots of time to get into position ... albeit the key play of the day was folding to the all in shove on a dangerous board whilst holding AQ in to JTxQQ ... flush there too ... I made the bet ... which was followed by a pretty much instant all in ... there was another spot like this later on ... so a few chips leaked perhaps ... but for the most part I was cruising following 88 turning into a set ... followed by the same spike with 33 ... vs the same opponent!
It could have easily been a much bigger stack ... had I been on the right side of the AK vs TT vs 88 (short stack) ... value added flip ... but no help ... so back into the pack ... An AK spike would have put me on 65k (325BB for Wembley) but more importantly a stack to go crushing with.
I have to make the call ... hoping for the weaker ace ... or to win the race ... however ... could have cruised into Day 2 with 200BB.
Structure is slow - but not pleasing to start day 2 with 40% of average - see what happens - win the next crucial race and feel good.
I will be fascinated by how big the field is!
Overlay??
Lots of great side action ...

Honeybadg:
Champions League Final build up ... great final ... so pleased that the German sides prevailed over the Spanish.
Hard to put my finger on why - I think it"s a case of hard work maximising performance.
Bayern immense - but Dortmund should give them a good game.
Then of course there is the very weird fact that next week I get to wander into Wembley to play the ISPT Main Event ... field of dreams ... time to run good ...
Honeybadg:
Played an absurd $2 re-buy on Stars - $100k g"tee - massive field - heading towards the money I decide to slow play AA in the big blind ... flop A9x two diamonds ... I keep semi-slow playing ... turn is a blank ... river is a diamond which of course has me dead ... vs Q9 suited ... it will happen from time to time ... turbo structure ... feeling need to build a stack ...
Getting tempted by the SCOOP 41 L or M?? - 4 Max
Time to play some absurd sat"s
