Lost 4 sessions in a row

Long time since I did that :(

Have a new target - I am going to try and qualify for the Asia Poker Tour event in Macau China. I have loads of holiday to take (much more than the Mrs) so hopefully can qualify for a poker event and get a jolly also.

Buy in is 5k$ and have some airmiles if i qualify -I heard that you can fly to Hong Kong and then get a short ferry to Macau - Macau is the upcoming Vegas of China for anyone who does not know with Vegas brands Wynn and Venettian already set up.

Ben / Brennan - I would also go for a weeks jolly and try and qualify via a sat when there if any of you fancy and have the cash give me a shout

Out KK v AA again

in the 55k gtd thats 3 of last 4 times.

This time no excuse at all - it was obvioushe had aa, i knew he had aa, yet still go bust.

Total utter crap from me - I also played the 1 mill gtd on *s double stack in 1st hr then buest stack in 15 mins playing shocking.

1/10 for tonights performance

ANOTHER PAY DAY :)

I should be in bed by now (140am)

However in the fortunate position of being in last 3 of 16K versus 2 Italians (now that must be a first !!! )

Luck gone my way on final table winning 2 50 50s when all in and a 30 70 v a small stack. Then lost a couple of 50 50s but was chip leader by then so rather it was that way round.

One of the guys was disco with 3 left for a while and the other guy has just pushed his small stack all in v my AA which held - !!!

Heads up now - me 177k v 127k but he has a really weird style - I think I need to wait to hit but getting cack after cack but will stay patient

I also entered the side pot last longer bet which I have won which nets me 920$ and 1st here is $4800 and 2nd $3200 so decent night.

update in a while with result in case anyone up at this ungodly hour !! (now 5 hrs 30 mins in !!)

Just won once i stopped bluffing the calling station !!

Gutted no MTT leaderboard this month - have now won the 20k and 16k in 2 days I would have been a mile clear !!!

EASY COME EASY GO

Just spent all the prize money from Friday night in one 1 hr rampage.

Fortunately not on the poker tables :)

As you know i have a 10k$ CPC package which is a cruise from Miami - however you have to sort your own way there - Virgin allow you to get a return ticket flying to one location and flying back from another which sometimes works a treat in limiting the number of flights you have to get. This was a pretty good price at £350 before tax but tax is undelievable > £200 these days. thats like 40% on top of flight

Anyway agenda now looks like below.

Fly London to Jamaica with Virgin (direct)
7 nights at the Royal Caribbean All Inclusive resource (Sandals) - costly but looks mint.
Fly American airlines direct to Miami
Intercontinental near the port of Miami for a day and a half
Set sail for 7 days around 3 Caribbean islands and loads of poker
Return to Miami port and fly that evening with Virgin direct from Miami to London

Looks mint - unfortunately 4 months away as cant wait already.

SUNDAY MULTIS

55K

Still plenty donks - I raise at 25 50 to 300 and get 4 callers with 1010.

Anyway flop a nice looking AA10 - someone comes over the top of my bet - sweet - he shows A2 - wtf !!!! ? - river 2 for 9k pot early doors.

16k

Think this is worse - I lose some stack early and have 1600 at 10 20 levels. me qq - table donk raises to 336 at 10 20 levels - I shove for 1400 - they call KT off - q on flop followed by J and A to make coco the straight.

40k Crapto exit to follow once i get donked

AND NOW WELL DONE SOAP :)

Winner of the Annette 20k$ gtd tonight for 6k$.

I had big chip lead with 6 left nad once again found myself in the scenario of a big hand v 2nd chip leader.

I raised with 10 10 and he reraised me and I choosed to fold this time. Anyway 3 left I get a bit of luck when my K J sooted (loose callof reraise) flops 2 of the suit and hits when all in on turn versus QQ. I then have 4:1 chip lead and flop a set and wonder how to get cash out of it till my opponant pushes all in with air so no stress.

Only bad news is leaderboards are not running this month else I would have had very good start. However, aint won that Multi before as quite new and nice to get a win under belt again.

WELL DONE MAD MARTY

Just back from Germany and seen the news that "mad" Marty is now a WSOP bracelet winner after winning the pot limit omaha event.

This means I can now say I have played on the same table as a WSOP bracelet winner as he was at my table at Manchester GUKPT !!

Also I wanted to wish the best of luck to "Team Betfair" and other forumites who are playing the main event - I have a feeling Azimut is going to do something thisy year !! (which probably means he is already out to make me look stoopid !!).
