I posted that in response to my previous brekkie photo getting slated. I went for the cultured, half a fresh tomato after I"d smothered the last one in chopped tinned tommies. I much prefer fried, chopped tinned tomatoes to both fresh tomatoes and beans on a breakfast. I vaguely remember :(. Hoping to get re-acquainted with the dark side this weekend :)

With the "sleeping draught" that will be ingested that will probably not be a problem.

Well, that was a good weekend!

The poker was a bit shoddy from my perspective - I think the liberal intake of alcohol before the event may have had more than a little to do with that.

I"ve got a few more photos on my phone that I"ll try and get up in the near future.

Looking forward to Bolton now. Friday night will be a bit hectic I think but on Saturday it"s time to concentrate on the poker. It"s too much of an honour to be picked to play to spoil it through drinking. I"m sure there"ll be plenty of time for that after I"m out. Especially if I play 22 as "creatively" as I did in Spain.

Thing is when you play 22 "creatively" you usually end up losing a chunk, as I found out in Coventry! See you in Bolton, really looking forward to it.

A good night on the pokerz tonight.

I played 3 of the deepstacks on Sky Poker to help support blonde"s new sponsorship deal with them. I played two £2.20 tournies and a £22er. I managed to win one of the £2.20ers for £75 and came 2nd in the £22er for £156 (after having my oppo all-in & dominated post flop only for him to bink on the turn :()

That puts me in profit for the year to date. Which is nice.

I hit a straight flush on the way to my second place. At the time I thought it may have been a fishy play, but on reflection I don"t think it"s too bad.
