Playing the Grand Live, but it"s horrendous so far. I have won two hands in four hours. Missing everything. 16k left from 20k starting.

Dinner break. It has been one of my worst tournaments ever. I usually only get runs like this in the WCOAP ME. In six hours of play (hourly levels), I won one hand in Level 2, one in Level 4 and one in Level 6. I also nicked the blinds without resistance twice in L6. That"s it.

I played really tight for the first couple of levels. That wasn"t hard, as I was on a very aggressive table with lots of 3-betting and so on and I was getting 93, 94, T2, etc all the time. Moved table to an easier one and played a few hands with small pairs, Q8 suited, 78 suited, KT and the like. Whatever I have had, the Flop has been the opposite. Down to 6k now and the BB will be 500 after the break, so something has to give soon.

At least I have had the opportunity to play a larger buy-in tournament, which I have been wanting to do for a while. The frustrating thing is that the standard of play isn"t all that. I have seen large bets on the River when there was a gutshot and three of one suit on the board. Each time, they have been called and an overpair has been shown, which has won. Top pair was shown by the caller on two occasions and, the other time, they mucked, but I assume they had something like that. The bet would never have been called in APAT (or LPPL), but it probably wouldn"t have been made in the first place. These guys won"t fold, so I need to hit a hand.

Christmas with the family is great. I only see them a few times a year.

But how to convince people, who aren"t interested, that cutlery should go into the dishwasher handle up?

Because he has made the world more dangerous. He has made the position of the US and other Western governments much more difficult. Should governments have information that the public is not privy to, or should the public know everything that the government does?  I think that the latter is not desirable. How difficult does it make future negotiations with allies if they know everything that the US really thinks about them, for example? Releasing classified information to the public is more than just irresponsible; it is downright criminal and traitorous imo.

You two can do one. There are some very good eye-testing places in London that you can visit during the WCOAP.
