So! The European championships are just over a week away, and i cant wait!!!!
Poker has been... sporadic at best in the home game over the summer, as it usually is to be honest, it tends to get back to being more regular over the autumn/winter months, as holidays calm down.
Either way, i havent really played as much as i would have liked really, but it is what it is. Last week will be the last poker i play before the European Championships, as i am working this thursday and wont be playing next Thursday as its the day before we travel down to Nottingham, so i would like the save the money to spend over the weekend :)
As it happens, i felt that last week was the best i have played poker in ages. I got my stack up to over double starting stack, and had done it without any major drama for once! Then Phil got involved :p
I raised A9 pre, and he called. The flop came down A9x, 2 hearts, and we ended up getting it all in and he binked on the turn. I didnt take it well at the time, mainly as i had been drinking since 3pm!!!!!
Just cant wait to get sat down in the main event and play some lovely deepstacked poker and to see how it goes really. Not going down there with any expectations, am just looking forward to seeing everyone again.

So, despite the fact that i am now off work for a week, my body still decides to wake up at 7am, so i decided that a little blog update might be in order :)
Well, the time is nearly upon us where we get to travel to a far flung part of the country (everywhere is far flung when you live in Yarm :p ) and meet up with some great friends and play a bit of poker and drink alot of beers! Like Phil mentioned in his blog, it seems to have been a long time coming this week, I only had 3 shifts to get through at work and they took forever to get out of the way
The Europeans will always be a bit special to me, wont go into why :p But i havent done well in them in recent years, probably due to the fact that i seem to think that doing shots of sambuca at 11am is good preparation! This has led to me putting an alcohol limit of 1 pint per hour on myself for the main event. Hopefully this means that i am able to make day 2 and the cash at least :)
Tonight see"s the Stockton Massive homegame minus Pokerfishpops and Lucy as they are at Leeds festival (i probably would be too if it wasnt for the Europeans, but you have to get your priorities right!!) Looking for a good solid performance (play every hand and luckbox my way to money) in preparation for the big weekend :)

Ive been misinformed by Tompkyfish. I am sure we will find somewhere to sell us a beer.
I take it you wont be joining us due to international duties?
