Collected your shirts yesterday.  They look quite good.

"quite good"  ???

That"s what my missus said when I was 5th in Coventry.  >:(

At least you got "quite good", Stuart, I got "they don"t match" after Luton  ::)  The perils of having a partner with OCD...

As for the shirts, I"m not that concerned about colour (Amanda will now be rolling her eyes), I"m more concerned about getting them over my portly figure...  :D

Great blog Steve, and roll on Bolton.

I wasn"t too sure about Steve"s style choice, and had a greater concern over his colour choice, but he knows best.

I could post up a pic, but wouldn"t want to spoil the surprise.

They"re not exactly "APAT Green" though, Des won"t be happy.   ;)

Quite good, could be bad - r good, I really have no idea. I have no idea why Leigh thinks I am going to have lots of time on Friday night I will be very busy.

1) See everybody in hotel bar and say hello
2) Travel to casino
3) Donk out of Champion of Champions event
4) Try and find everybody else

And that is all before 8pm!!!!!!!

Had a quick session tonight on Sky Poker. Broke even (well was up 4p to be exact). Interesting hand was the following:-

I have JJ in the blinds and about £18 in front of me (still only playing £20nl until I get back to even for the year).

Anyway there is a limper and I make it £1. The limper calls. The flop comes down

9d-8d-8s

This looked like a good flop for my hand so I have to bet. I put £2 in and limper calls. I mentally have him on a flush draw/straight draw or maybe some lower pair. The tourn comes a safe looking 3h. I fire out £4 and he calls. I now have him on the draw and the turn is 7h. Well the only draw that got there is J-10 and I got two jacks so that not very likely. I choose to check/call. After I check he goes all-in and I call off about £12.He show 7-8 for the full house.

I probably should have folded the river there. Even though my plan was to check call his bet looked a bit strong for an overpair to call. So I lose £12 there that I should have saved. Flop and turn is fine I guess though.

Other than that I played pretty good but will be leaving cash games until next week now.

Bottom line is:

Online Cash = -£90
Online Tournament = +$12.51
Live Tournament = -£75

Time to practice for the Champion of Champions. I have decided that my plan is simple. I am not going to bother trying to outplay the people at that table. Most of them are better than me. I am going to sit there, wait for cards and hope I get enough to win. Odds against needless to say but my best chance.

If I get down to a point where what is in the pot will increase my stack by 20% with just the blinds and antes I am going to be shoving with ATC for the cut off or the button. I am not going to be reshoving light with like 15BB as that play is just above me at the moment ABC poker is going to be FTW. C-bets are also going to be kept to a minimum.

It"s pretty unlikely more than one person playing that game will read this and even if they do they probably won"t believe me and even if they do there is not much of a defense against this game (one is not required), it is just likely I will end up blinding out - so be it.

Ger"s Plan..... push ATC every hand in position regardless. It really pisses off the rest of the table  ;D
