Oh dear - Just had my worst 24 hr period of poker in the year busting a Laddies account of £2K and a stars account of $2.5K within 24 hrs.
Wont bore yu with details but all PLO and basically 3 big pots of getting it all in good and getting sucked out on in all 3, and then losing the plot on Laddies and basically giving away £1K+. I think that last 1k you can probably put in the tilt column which aint good and I usually pride myself on the infrequency that i ever tilt. Also bad timing with only 1 payday left work wise until Xmas.
Anyway to find some positives, already entered the *s warm up and Betfair 30K tonight so will try and play out skin to get a return, also over the course of the last week i have played and qualified for loads of WCOOP events on stars in Sept - I probably have about 1500$ of entries in tournie vouchers that hopefully can lead to some returns in Sept.
In reply to them sessions I think after tonight I may just play some mega low stakes this week as last week at work and loads to finish then hopefully cash tables in MAcau are fishfest and we get back in business.

A PROPER VACATION
Come up to 10 yrs at my place of work next month and have decided (and have had signed off) 3 months unpaid leave before I come back to a new role in the same company at Jan 1. Really appreciate them accommodating this for me.
Anyway - whats the plans - Am i going to be a layabout bum like Amatay / Brenos / Holmes etc I hear you ask? (sorry boys !!). Well the answer for 1 month is Yes as the Mrs also had leave signed off but only 2 months. Hence master plan looks something like below.
AUGUST
- Work till mid August
- Play APT in Macau and go with Homes till almost end Aug.
SEPT
- Few weeks bumming around / seeing a few people and going to races etc.
- Maybe a few days in exchange shop if my "pro mate" will teach me!!
- Then Nottingham for English Poker Open and maybe heading down to London for WSOPE.
- Unfortunately cant make Vegas anymore in last week Sept.
END SEPT and OCT
- Go travelling with the Mrs to Dubai, Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo and Singapore.
END OCT and NOV
- One month travelling round Oz including Sydney, Melbourne (and Melbourne cup!!), Brisbane, Cairns, Outback, Ayers Rock and Perth.
DEC
- Back to graft
Rather excited and hopefully can get a score in Sept to replace my 3 months lost wages !!!
Any tips in any of these places then let me know.

WSOPE - Just Mini this time !!!
Yes - just won a 50$ sat to WSOPE event 1 which is a £1000 buy in. However, due to other committments this was the only event I coud play and it is the week of the English Poker Open so I will head from Nottingham to London.
Played well overall with no suckouts but picked up a few monsters and won a couple of races. Got to heads up with a huge 10:1 chipstack lead but was cacking my pants when he drew back to 45K v 38K ish. Last hand was a race which I won (AQ v 22) and I needed to avoid about 14 outs on riv which I did.
Only downside is structure is awful with only 3000 chip starting stack with 25 50 blinds and 1 hr levels - like a Betfair turbo :) !!! (for perspective main event last year was 20000.
Anyway 1 more chance for live donking !!!

FORUM GATHERING
Went down to Duffs Full House to play the forum game this weekend. Numbers much less than previous years but good to meet some all friends and a few new ones.
Had good day at Goodwood races on Fri and many thanks to Carl driving us both ways. Just 1 winner that about covered costs. Cam back played a £50 freezeout and took this down for about £400.
Next day and 50 0dd runners at forum game, well organised but a few unschedukled breaks when there was a power cut !!! Anyway made 1 good laydown and basically cruised to final table. At final table 6 left when biggest drunk on table who had almost same stack as me (I was chip leader) limps 5K, I raise to 25K with a9 and he pushes all in for 100K. Usually, this would look like AA but the way he had been playing i knew he was weak and snap called. This is to have greater than 50% of chips in play with 5 left and was delighted when he shows 910 but less delighted at 8JQ flop :( - went out a few hands later when pushed with 85 and was called by 66.
£380 for 6th and £400 for 1st night before made it a nice weekend £ wise but was more after the prestige of doing the double :)
Anyway - thanks to all who organised especially Carl and Tony.
