A return to face to face poker:
International Club tonight : £100+50 rebuy/add on - Part of Paradise Poker"s Festival.
7pm start - not sure of exact format - but should be a good structure.
Last night Martin Silke won their £200 F/O - 80 Runners.

RT -$289
£100+50 rebuy/add on ...
AA vs QQ defeat ... standard ... yawn ...
100/200 (25) ... early position raises to 900 ... I re-raise to 3000 ... he goes all in for 9900 ... which has me narrowly covered ... DING DING ... first card is a Queen ...
Of the 7 (Big) face to face tournaments I have played this year - I think I am 4-1 down on horror beats to be eliminated or crippled ... I may trawl my blog so see where I am on online ... feels about the same!?! Albeit there was one online event were I won everything no matter how far behind for about $1,500.
Distributions have long tails ... all you can do is stroke them and see if they purr ... right?

Interesting to view the chip counts of day 1A ... very few large stacks built (yet).
Could be a mammoth day 2.
My thoughts on day 1B tomorrow - pretty settled - obviously will need cards to stand up.
Will not be limping with weird hands ... will be pushing when in doubt.
Quite a few friends with money on me which is weird ...
Looking forward to some good cards ...
... not 99, TT and JJ ... with a load of AK flops ...

So no world title for the Honeybadger ...
Out in 46th AQ vs AK ... a real rearguard action from 4625 to 22000 but not enough cards and the wrong match ups.
Scouse raises with 44 and I re-raised with AA ... he folds
Scouse raises with AK and I re-raised with AQ ... he calls
AQ vs 44 and AA vs AK would have been nicer ...
In 7 hours play
AA - once
KK - once
QQ, JJ, TT, 99 - zero
88 - twice ... winning a 88 V AQ race
77 - twice
AK - twice
Not really enough to do any gunning ... needing luck with the chips in the middle ... Did win A7 vs KK when very priced in ...
Overall - could have played hands differently but no obvious errors made ...
Next year!
DTD ... spot on venue ...
