OK, time for more training in my two table sit n go games. I played one for the first time yesterday but did not cash. Doesn"t matter I have over three days to perfect it.

*lol at the predictions on here 9 people have picked me to come top three not really very likely sorry guys. ANyway to Pokerstars will be back to report on the result.

Ah - I have solved it

1st place in a $5.50 18 man sit n go. I will try another one later. I will no doubt be a master by Friday. I sure outplayed all of those silly sit n go donks with my vastly superior game. Some people may feel beat KQ with K10 and K7 with J10 helped but they just would be thinking on too lower level.

Ah road bump, played two more and forgot to cash in either of them. So I have played four of them and cashed once (but it was a win so I am up at least if only by $14).

I lost £20 on Betfair as well after stupid Man Utd beat Blackpool, there was so much value in the draw at 1-0 and I though I had nailed it after they went 2-2. I should stick to trading on Grand Prix"s on the exchange.

The UK Team Championship approaches and I looked though the teams, Chezger are actually very strong if The Duke allows them to stay sober. Fortunately I"m sure he would sack any of them who even thought about doing that. APAT Champions are going to take some beating and are the team most likely to pick up the gold medal but the  forum team is more consistent and are likely to get more deep runs. BCPC is very strong and could push us all the way. I am going to say the event will be won by APAT forum from Chezger, closely followed by the Champions team (cos that would be a great result and a lot of fun).

I am sure it will be a great weekend whatever the result. I do think that for the first time for quite a while I am turning up to this one focused on playing poker and it looks like my game face will be back on properly for Friday night and the weekend event. I want a good showing to put an end to this season, a cash would be very nice but I at the very worst expect to score some points for the team.

Played another 18 man sit n go on Stars today - didn"t win so my record in them is now:-

Played: 5
Cashes: 1
Wins: 1

Total buyin spent =  $27.50
Total Prize money = $36
Total profit = $8.50

Then got bored so played some 25c/50c HU cash on Stars and nicked just over $40 (about £25). So to update my bottom line for the year

Online cash: -£65
Online Tournaments = +$21.08 (About £13)
Live tournaments = -£75

I am £52 down at online poker now this year, so after the terrible first week grinding it back slowly but my volume has been very low. I would say the money I am down is money I shoudl never have lost in the first place due to playing whe I should not have been but I can"t change that now. The lesson is if you should not be playing - don"t. Cash the money out of your account or self excudle yourself for a few days if you need to, but there is nothing wrong with taking a few days off when things are not going well.

I am feeling quite zoned in for poker and think I will play well in the event on Saturday. It is the first time since Luton I have really felt like I am going there to play poker as opposed to see all the regulars and have a bit of fun, even though this one is the one where we should be taking it a bit less seriously, Team APAT are definately in it to win it. If I am out of the tournament on Sunday I may see if there are any cash games running as I still have not put in a live cash session.

If not I have the first one of the year planned at Aspers Sunday 6th Feb as I am off work on the Monday.

OK, currently on the train to Bolton!!!!!

I had a quick go on the 18 manner yesterday and got a third place. I have only played a few of them but am happy that is has helped me and means I have a better chance tonight.

ETA I expect to be in Bolton by 4pm and should have everything sorted and be ready to head to the G by about 5pm but will pop into the bar to see all the APAters first.

Really looking forward to the weekend of course, as with all APAT weekends, currently feel very tuned in and read to play poker and I feel confident of doing myself justice over the weekend. I hope to see everybody in Bolton this weekend and for those of you at the casino tonight - will see you there.

Team APAT are all arriving at different times but will be there and ready to win the lot by 2:30 tomorrow.

Will be upading throughout the weekend - see you all soon shortly.

Still on the train, bringing the laptop was a good idea you get to follow everybody else travelling up as well.

Can"t wait to get there now
