Honeybadg:
RT -$883

12th of 146 in $18k g"tee on Betfair ... when QQ hits into KK ... ARGH!

Minor Cash - yawn!

Honeybadg:
... not sure my brain is healed yet ... QQ vs KK following TJs into KQx two of my suit but missing turn and river versus obvious strength! (Board not paired)

Luck in running at the end please!

In my official weigh in today I was 15 stone 6 ... pleasing given quality(and quantity of) food consumed.

I collected my framed picture of "A Lion" today ... very pleasing ... painted to order in Kenya by Zaidi.

England showing some steel today in the cricket ... so much cricket now ... feels more like clubs than nations.

Cannot decide whether beer is a good idea!?!

$30k g"tee on stars races up to $64k.

About to go handy with a triple up ... only to see the up and down straight draw from the value seeking chip leader fly in!

55 in J53 rainbow ... happy to limp but ... not when against 46 with a 2 on the river ... not quite the odds to call but chip leader so fair play.

Cooler ... still a long way to go ...

Pondering evening play.

Call the police.

Made it to the Betfair $18k g"tee through an absurd 5 from 12 - super turbo $15 re-buy - simply lunatic structure - but job done.

I am looking forward to reviewing my blog at the year end - overall has probably saved me some tilt money. In comparison to my gambling year last year (+$15k) I have played better and more often ... I think that bodes well ... as not particularly lucky last year.

I guess these are all small numbers in the grand scheme of things ... I think I am a solid player ... and winning something big would not alter that judgement.

There are so many solid players around that you need the have the breaks at the right times - that said there were phases when I got a bit limpy with KQ etc out of position which is just ridiculous.

Anyway ... looking forward to selective poker over the next few months ... no APAT stuff except the league matches.

Good luck all.

Honeybadg:
RT -$783

12th of 143 in the Betfair $18k for the second time in a row for $216.

Last hand 77 vs 66 to return to 7th flop 6TT.

Just before I folded AT after two all ins ... 99 vs 99 flop ATx

Just before that I lost AJs vs 78s.

Earlier AA vs KK (vs Dewi Cool)

Built stack with a lucky TT vs AA (though still very playable stack if I lost)

In the top 5 for a long time ... before went card dead and the drift towards the bubble.

AA vs QQ just in time ... followed by a KK which won a good pot pre flop all in ... and in great shape ... only to be slain as above ...

Pays for the Sunday Warm Up ... and so on ...
