Wednesday 12th April

After another usual boring day at work, occasionly checking out the people on laddies forum moaning about bad beats....I only wish I was at home playing poker, I could take the bad beats, anything but being at work....

Didn't enter any leaguenutz events tonight as I decided to concentrate on the Bad Beat WSOP qualifier. Not that I think I have a cat in hells chance of qualifying, but I do find I learn a lot playing against the better players. I did make the final table in the first leg on Crazy poker, I was actually 2nd in chips going into it, but about 10 hands in I found KK with a raise and a small RR from Nordic, who was the chip leader, before even thinking, I had pushed my whole stack in, then, what seemed like a very long pause, Nordic called and turned over AA, no muff, I was out in 10th. I was gutted.....Although to be fair, I did not need to play well to get to the final table, I just seemed to hit everytime I entered the pot, I wish all MTT's were like that.

Tonights tourney was on Littlewoods, a place where the colours are so horrible, you need to wear sunglasses. My missus looked at me in my oakleys and thought, "fooking twat takes this game too seriously"

However, after playing very patiently and getting a few hands at the right time, I managed to make the top 20 for some points. I then did not get a hand at all for ages. Crawfski was on my table with a big stack and seemed to be on the hunt of every englishman on the table with the vigour of a man who wears a kilt, no undies and a just vest on top when it is 6ft deep in snow. I managed to find AA on the BB when left with only 540 chips, amazingly crawfs raise utg with 78 sooooted, failed to muff and I had chips again. I picked up QQ in the next couple of hands and double up again. Then down to 11 players, curly69 and myself were fighting for the bubble, when strummer, bless his cottons, found JJ, with two all ins and called and took them both out. After that I got no hands at all, but managed to hold out a couple of places to go out 7th, a result I was very pleased with.

Watching the final table heads up battle between JadeLiz(strummer) and poost, I could only guess that strummer now requires a new laptop, after finding A4 all in against poosts A3, and the 3 hitting the river....I would not like to be a pet in strummer mansion.

Still a great game, gonna try some cash on crazy poker now...big stuff at .10 / .20

But hey, I am sure sealey started somewhere.............
