Qualified for the 50k via a 44$ sat on betfair again but my hell in that tourney continues.
Last 2 weeks you will recall I got knocked out v 3 outer then last week a 1 outer.
I raised from possy 1 just now with AQ 3 callers flop Q56 rainbow I bet out and weakest player at table raises me all in ( I have more than him) - he has Q9 off suit ( called preflop 3.5 raise with this) then of course rivers gives him 9 and two pair.
I now have less chips than what Kate Moss is allowed in her daily diet plan ....

VALUE SEEKING
Entered the 6k gtd 6 shooter tonight which is a high buy in 500$ but is in 6 pak format and I really like it - tryed to qualify via sat and didnt then decided to buy in at last minute as only 9 players hence 1.5k$ value.
Anyway I make a good call with ace high v Enigma with 4 left which holds up v his small stack 2 face cards to guarenteee at least 3rd of 1200$. Then with 3 left Skivvy sucks out on me on 2 big pots - 1 when he needed ace and hit it on riv next time i have k2 and catch him with aa on a k72 flop and they go in but he hits a 7 on turn. Anyway in the end i get him when KK holds up v A ten. I was a bit twisty after the K2 beat as that was 3 times in a row he had sucked out but shouldnt have been :(.
Anyway heads up lasted for ages and was a total roller coaster. I had chip lead and got them in on turn when I had 9 4 on q94 2 board and thought it was in bag till he showed QQ. I then sucked out on him when my ace 8 beat his ace k which would have won him game. Then I had AJ v KQ for game but he hit 2 pair and took lead again. I then pushed with a range of hands to get back to equal.
I then picked up qq and he called raise and flop q43 was v nice - chips went in as he had q ten and I was chip leader again. Final hand ak held up with q 9 suited and I took the 3000$ prize.
Played a few other games tonight and did pap so this was very welcome. Need to work on not twisting when I get a badbeat though as my opponant heads up did not react when i sucked out which is my desire - I will work on this.
Hopefully I can avoid poker Fri Sat as out on lash at leaving do Friday then its the work footy world cup at weekend with a big night out in town. I usually make plenty on Fri Sat v the drunks so need to make sure I am not a giver this weekend !!!
Finally hopefully BA get my chuffing bags to me that went missing on my flight to Germany on Tue and I still dont have them !
Good luck at tables

NEW TARGET FOR 2007
In general I think my game has come on a lot in 2007 and my start at NL cash has gone Ok so far also.
I dont want to change my aims for the year even though I have
hit some however I am adding a new target for the year.
To qualify for either the WSOPE or the CPC is my new aim for the year - will keep you updated.

16k and 11k and chuffing AK
Was 1st and 2nd in 16k and 11k with 30 left.
Came 4th in 16k and absolutely gutted between bad luck and bad play - worst I should have got was 2nd and an extra 2000$ minimum and it was my fault.
FRUSTRATING
With 4 left I took on the small stack 8 times and lost all 8 cant believe it that he wasnt gone - 10 8 v 10 7 last time and he rivers a 7.
However still me 120 k 2nd 100k 3rd 35k 4th 25k when I make bad play.
Big stack makes big raise from SB and I am on BB he raises to 35k and i push 120k all in with AK suited which in hindsight I wish i flat called - he calls with QQ and I miss and I am back to 4th. Of course I go out 1st hand with 4 left unlike guy who sucked out 10 times.
However prizes are 4.5k 3,2k 2k and 1.2k$ and totally my fault for costing myself 2k$ minimal - really annoyed.
I then cock up the 11k also and bomb out 12th when 6th of 12 left when I push and get called for 7 bb's by 22 ???? - he hits 2 and im gone.
Bit over 1k$ up but totally annoyed with myself :(

DECENT SIZE SPORTS BET LANDED
Every time I have had a big bet lately it has tended to get beat and I have been doing well with the smaller bets.
However I really fancied one today at Sandown everything looked perfect - only worry was whether it would be slow away as it has been in the past and was 5F today.
However broke on terms and won easily and a nice bet was landed.

Lets hope can turn the minus 300 position for day on poker around !!

LANCHESTER ON THE MAP !!!
My little village where I am from of 3000 people or so may be on the map now as I have just watched Big Brother and Liam a 23 year old tree surgeon from Lanchester has just entered the house.
Cant say I know him but he drinks in the Black Bull Lanchester which was my local when I lived there and I also know his brother. No idea what he will be like but lets hope hes OK and does well!!!
Might get me watching for a bit as couldnt stand 5 mins watching when 10 women bitching 24 7 was on.
