Grant's Glasgow Banter
Santino67:
Cheers for the birthday messages on here and FB. Had a fantastic time in New York and will definitely go back again sometime, though hopefully for more than 5 days. Unfortunately never made it out of Manhattan, hotel was right opposite Madison Square Gardens, 10 blocks down from Times Square and had so much to do and see but not enough time.
Annie Apple got to Broadway to see Jersey Boys on her 40th, surprisingly far more enjoyable than I had anticipated so that was a real bonus. We also made it up the Rockefeller Centre, saw the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, Wall Street, Tiffanys, Central Park, Natural History Museum, had lots of great food and drink and walked for miles and miles and miles in the freezing cold.......all absolutely worth every step.
Pictures to follow :D

Had a nice wee cash of $309 on Thursday night Betfair 1am game for finishing 4th and felt good coz I"ve not been getting much play, so decided tonight would be a good night to follow it up. How wrong can one person be :-[
Played the 2 * $22 games at 8.15 and 11.15, was busted in both with AA and KK by 9/6 and 5/2 respectively after playing the hands in a very standard way. Both times raising preflop and 3/4 bets on flop then getting re-raised and a further call to my shove. Bingo"d both times by river to 5 outer in first hand and flush in latter.
Had fun in the Furness game in between and had a very enjoyable chat on a well know Social Network (c) site with Debbie afterwards.
And then the poker got even worse.........going along nicely in the $54 game at 1am and got up to 3.5k, picked up :as: 5s in late position and made standard raise, got re-raised by SB, called from the BB and had odds of 7/2 to peel a flop. Happy Days thought it was Friday at 5 to 5 and Crackerjack had just came on TV js :2s: 4s SB bets 300, BB shoves for 1500, I flat and SB shoves so i obv ship the rest.
SB flips kc ks BB flips 8s 9s
Turn kd
River 4c
FML think it"s time to give it up :D
On a more serious note, I played the hands properly just got very very unlucky on all 3 occasions. Would play them all again the same way in future as I was fave all the way against them.
