Keeping Warm in Winter
Newportlad:
Saturday night tourney at Les Croups. £35+£5 for 10K starting stack and 25 min clock. All the levels as well.
Really good cheap tourney.

Just reading through my previous posts on this forum as a result of a conversation with some non poker playing friends who were reading this thread. I first posted on the forum in 2007 but only made 8 posts before 2010 and did not make a single post in 2008.
The tone of them is very different to how I would expect a post on a poker forum from me to sound and I guess it shows how my feeling towards poker have changed over the last few years, even though in APAT events I have run ridiculously good, I sound far to happy and cheerful most of the time, pretty sure I am not really like that *lol*
I tried to buyin to the Welsh Event this week but some silly problem with my account on William Hill which was registered via some mentoring site years ago I cannot buy into tournaments with more than 1% of the money I have on the site. So to buy into an APAT require me to deposit about £8.2K just to buy into one tournament then withdraw. Needless to say I won"t be doing that. I expect a seat will pop up on the seat exchange at some time they usually do.
I can"t win at poker at the moment, seem to have been doom switched by "Stars and cannot get a hand to hold up. Played for a couple of hours tonight twice got all-in preflop with AA (Hold'em) for 100+BB and lot both, ended up $60 down. Got all in with the nuts on the flop in PLO (hand straight and flush draw) and lost 250BB there, he had the nuts as well and hit back door flush draw, so lost $35 there. Ended session down $90.
Will put 50p in the tin later :-)

Bored with playing cash again at the moment, not playing too bad but I am not feeling so confident at present. That"s fine as my tournament game is much better at the moment. I am therefore going to play a run for 100 $4.50"s on Pokerstar"s got the first batch of 3 running now.
Maybe it is time to mix a bit of online poker back in as well, going to play the APAT at Les Croupiers assuming I do get a seat. Maybe I will finally take Darren"s advice and play the Saturday night tournament at Les Croups as well.
I am off to Wembley next weekend to watch Newport County Vs York in the final of the FA Trophy. Using it as an excuse for a long weekend at the West End of London so will be going down on Friday and spending the night in London. I honestly think County are a good bet to beat York as they are the outsiders but in the last couple of months beat York at home and were unlucky to only get a draw away from home. York also have to worry about the playoffs whilst County have been able to prepare for the final since the end of the league fixtures. County will be outsiders but are at full strength and have been strong in the form league in the second half of the season.

RIGHT. I am officially excited now. I have booked a long weekend off work and tomorrow I am heading up to London for a weekend there which will include a trip to Wembley to see Newport County try and win the FA Trophy against York. I really like the County"s chances, especially with York distracted by the playoff final Vs Luton. I will be placing a bet of £50 on them just to make it even more exciting. 12/5 Looks too good to me I can"t believe County don"t win this game one time in three.

Also spending the afternoon/evening in various West End establishments will be great. I love visiting London. Game of poker arranged on the train also.
In poker I have played some of the 100 180 manners I was planning on playing the results are not inspiring:-
Total game = 7
Total buyins = $31.50
Total cashes = $8.85
Going to play another 4 today before getting ready for tomorrow.
