Another fantastic APAT weekend ... my ribs hurt so much from laughing, esp with the Curly convo"s and Walkabout frebreeze convo. Next time I really should concentrate on the poker ;-)

I wouldn"t bother, you get to sit at a table all day whilst everybody else sits in the bar drinking beer and generally having a great time, then they go off to the Karaoke bar and Walkabout, return after a few beers to tell you what a great night they had. Lose people and cigarettes due to an unexplained black hole at DTD. They sometimes reappear which is also strange.
So yeah, don"t worry about poker, not sure why we always have to have these games going on at APAT weekends to be honest they kind of get in the way :D
PS - Book Glasgow now please.

Ran pretty badly yesterday. Could not win an allin, Pokerstars kept taking the piss out of me by letting me get to the river ahead before crushing me.
Tournmanets played: 34
Profit: $1.58
I was quite happy with the result given the fact I really did not run well. I did get a third but even in that one which could have been a first but I couldn"t win the flip at the key point.

Pretty standard spot there I think, every hand was a shove pre and I am clearly ahead of his range and there are not enough chips for me to fins a better spot.
I also got a 4th place where I ran AK into KK to lose most of my chips so standard spot again. I won"t post any other exit hands as they are pretty standard like I said.
Don"t think Silverstar can be done just on the silly little tournaments though so will have to play a bit of cash to keep that up. Played a short session of that (only about 200 hands). Won $6.80. Should have won more but could not lay down TPTK on a dry flop when my opponent almost always has a set.
So basically spent a whole day clicking buttons for a profit of $8. Up is up and all that.
In non poker events Newport County lost for the first time this season 2-0 away to Wrexham and I managed to break a coffee table. M"eh first world problems and all that.

$2.50 Turbo"s
Tournaments played today: 19
Tournaments played Month: 53
Profit/Loss today: -$42.58
Profit/Loss Month: -$41
VPP: 100
Ran pretty bad today again and don"t think I played that well either. The turbo games are different to the non turbos in quite a few ways. I think by shoving and calling ranges are quite good though. I want to try and keep my volume up throughout the week. Plan is about 10 of these each evening.
Also played 300 hands on $25 Cash (This is holdem not PLO)
Hands: 304
VP$IP: 20.72%
PFR: 19.08%
3-Bet: 9.91%
Profit/Loss: +$15.66
Nothing exciting happened.

Something popped into my head today. I have been off work this week and am back in tomorrow. I am lucky enough that I quite like my job and enjoy working with most of the people I work with. It"s quite a laid back not too stressful role which is unusual in the environment I am in. So I am quite happy to be going back in tomorrow and don"t get the thing that other people tell me about where they dread going back after a week off. I suppose I run quite good there.
Now I was reading some updates and blogs on Blonde Poker earlier today and it came to my mind that the way I have spent this week ie played the ECOAP met up with a number of the other apat people had lot"s of fun. Spent lots of time playing online, also did some other cool stuff not related to poker. Seems like a decent way to spend a week off. It"s quite natural to think I suppose it would be good to just do this all the time.
Then I thought, well some people actually do. This is how they spend their life their life. It reminds me of the lyrics to a song.
Is it a blessing, or is it a curse?
Does it get any better, can it get any worse?
Will it go on forever, is it over tonight?
Does it come with the darkness, Does it bring out the light?
Is it richer than diamonds or just a little cheaper than spit?
