Well I got rid of that sting and joined up for my nightly $22 game on Betfair with a calm head. 143 runners, nice prize pool and hoping to go better than 8th last night. Currently 20th of 77 on 3.6k, had a nice start then moved table and gone card dead against a table of (strangely very slow) maniacs.

Moved table after dropping to about 3k and soon picked up AA in my BB at 60/120 with 4 limpers, decided to do a ridiculous shove to look like a steal and got a call from a KJ with a stack of 1800, nice result and held up. Same level limped with K9s and bet out on flop of AK4 rainbow, got one caller. K on turn and bet out again, called again. 6 on river, value bet 1800, called and mucked  ;D Currently 6th of 42, 20 make the cash.

Ouch, down to 3.6k after A4 v A4 clash on a 4/4/6 flop, other player hit nut flush with runner runner spades  :D and out in 30th with 7/7 shoved 2.8k and A/9 called????? 9 on flop!

Hi Grant, i can"t tell you how nice it was to see you again in Coventry. We had a right good laugh on the Sunday £25.
Some crazy hands there and a few crazy faces :P

I can"t wait for next season now, so i look forward to meeting up some time later this year. Cracking read this blog, keep it up M8. Also great news that all is well with Billy, another top guy. Actually i"m struggling to think of a bad jock I"ve met.
Sure someone will remind me... ;D ;D No, not you Stuart, you are Captain Jock and very nice(don"t wear the kilt, please).

So belated good wishes for all for 2011.

See you soon.. Paul M :)

Cheers Paul and Happy New Year. Likewise mate, was great catching up in Coventry & those Sunday tourneys made up for my bubble in the APAT but no idea how I won 1 and finished 5th in the other ;D definitely be at some of the Season 5 games so will see you then.

All the best till next time

OK so I don"t usually play during the day but while I reg"d for the Leg 5 game of the APAT mini league decided to stick my $5 worth in for a $1500 guaranteed 12 min 1500 chips game.
15 mins in and doubled my stack, made a couple of notes about this level as it"s been a while since I played it......If a hand has a nickname it doesn"t necessarily mean you should play it (e.g J5 lol), Try not to get sucked into the Freeroll mentality of many of the players (just saw a shove for 30 BBs with K9 instacall by A6  :D I"m interested to know is this standard at this level on other sites?
Not even ended level 2 and from 370 starters already down to 250, the Poker Gods won"t be required for this particular event so i"m sure they"ll be enjoying the lie-in.

Just donked half my stack, flush on turn busted by 4th diamond on river for guy with KK! Just saw another example of above with blinds 25/50 player shoved for 1200 with 6/6 preflop instacall by Q7, so glad the 6 came on flop tbh  :D and now down below 200 players left

Nice treble up with 8/8,  7/8/J flop and 7 on river sealed it against QQ & AQ, then laid down A/Ks on J high rainbow board after 3 calls to my 4*BB preflop raise and 2 betting on flop. One of them takes the pot with A/10s with flush on river, the other who started on the SB shows J/8os. That"s what happens when you call a raise with garbage OOP, let that be a lesson to any kids out there  ;) Now at 3.4k 63rd of 166 left.

Blinds 60/120 EP raise to 360, 1 caller mid table and I go set mining on button with 2/2. Q/6/2 rainbow flop check check check. 6 on turn, check check, put in a half pot bet and fold fold :( Break time 67th of 142 with 3.7k, average 3.9.

Went card dead after break with too much raising going on to my right and 2 of top 10 chip leaders on my left, unable really to play at all. Halfway through the 100/200 level busted out 106th with 10/10 v J/J, 9/8/5 flop. No help and I"m outta this cheap hotel......for now!!!! Never really got going, would"ve made a difference if my flush held earlier but That"s Poker  :P

Looks like I"m surely a non contender now for Lloret De Mar, it"s all gone the shape of the pear. Mum taken into hospital last night and discovered today that she has a perforated ulcer  :( Not currently able to withstand surgery so she"s on mega anti biotics and fluids and next few days are pretty crucial so the poker"s pretty insignificant for now.

Best wishes to everyone playing, i"ll still check the updates and live feeds through the weekend when I get a chance. I know win or lose you"ll all have a fantastic time  8)

Look after your Mum Grant. She"s the best friend you"ll ever have and certainly better than this bunch of reprobates. Hope everything goes well and she makes a quick return to good health.

Thanks gang, just back from hospital and much more upbeat. Yeah she has more tubes than the London underground but they seem to be doing their job, so she appeared brighter and a bit stronger than she was last night. Still on oxygen and not allowed any food for now so gets tired even after just a 1 hour visit so we decided to let her get a bit of rest and I"ll see her again tomorrow.

Cheers again for all your good wishes.
