Return of the Cat
Fatcatstu:
Well, it is upon us!!!!
The troops are mobilised and en route to the sleepy market town of Yarm in the North Riding of Yorkshire. The local pubs have been restocked, the Eagle has Battoned down its hatches, my car is about to get a tidy out ready to pick Ger, Ger Jnr and Rodders up from Darlington train station, then the drinking can commence :)
Really cannot wait to see everyone again, its going to be a fantastic few days with a fantastic bunch of people.
Next week sees the World Championships roll round.
My schedule has changed somewhat from when it first got announced as I have been picked to represent England again. Really cant wait for this, its a massive challenge, but Steve has picked one of the strongest England teams I have seen to attack this one, and if all things are equal, we should be in and amongst it come the medal matches.
Looking forward to seeing everyone down there, and for the first time in a long time i will be maintaining a level of sobriety whilst playing poker, as i have a staking deal going on with a few friends! That should be interesting!

Tomorrow sees the start of the WCOAP and I"m ridiculously excited by it all :)
First up is the Team Event, where I will be joining Asa, Steve, Carl and Tony in a bid to finally bring those gold medals back to England for the first time. Steve has picked a great team, and I am sure we will be there or there abouts come the medal shootouts :)
Afte this, I entr the staked part of my weekend.
I have asked for 100% staking as being picked for the team event has added nearly 90 pounds onto the expected cost of my trip if I didn"t. I am amazingly grateful for the faith shown in me by the people who backed me and am confident of giving them a return on their money.
Then I am playing the HORSE event on Saturday. This is an event I am really looking forward to. Stud, Omaha and holdem are sting points for me at the minute and I am learning razz fast :) it should be a great experience with some very good players taking part, but I am hoping to cash
Then it is on to main event day 1b.
I was saying to Rodders the other day, I have actually never felt like my game has been in better shape. I have made some deep runs in the stars micro millions events this year (cashing 2/3) and generally feel on top of my game.
I"m sure when I am playing my best, I"m a match for most of APAT, so again am looking hot a deep run and to make a cash at the least :)
These tournaments will all be played SOBER. Yes, I know, you don"t believe me, but I will be cutting alcohol intake form as I don"t want to be playing on other peoples money drunk. I will also not be drinking too much after events, as I don"t want to play hungover as its not fair on them.
In other news it is great to see the return of Tighty in a commentating role for the weekend. I have put my name down to do some "colour commentary" with him, which I look forward to immensely.
Hope to see you all there. Have a safe trip where ever you are coming from.
