SUNDAY NIGHT MULTIS

Almost the usual losing fare but not quite.

Played warm up *s - lose race for stacks like i do every week in that tourney, then cashed in the FPP turbo takedown for the grand total of 75$ !!!

Betfair usual 66K was just the 30k tonight as a WSOPE qualifyer and i was 10th of 10 with 9 paid when JJ held v A3 - however because I have not had a decent cash for a while i played like a bit of a softie to ensure got 9th at least for 1200$ (500 in). This is far from optimal and someone nicking my blind knew this. Eventually reraised an early position raiser all in when 7th of 8 but my 44 was in bad shape v 88 - for 2nd week in row Klup takes me out when in money - i got 1400$ and something for $900 profit which will cover the days entries and horse losers !!!

Only over game i am in is a qualifyer for APT Maccau that I came 3rd in last year when 2 seats guarenteed and was twice in for a seat when 80 20 and lost both !!!!

about 6th of 56 left with 3 seats gtd at the moment.

EDIT - Final Table of Macau thing 10 left 3 seats currently 5th

6th of 8 knackered and this is going on !!!

6th of 6 - need double up to go 3rd

BUBBLE TIME 4 left for 3 seats all got equalish stacks - GL ME !!!

330AM still going ...........

NO LONGER A PLO FISH?

I have had a great month at PLO at 3/6 levels - I only 1 table or 2 max but profits have been awesome consider i only 1 table. I know I am 5 times better than I used to be at PLO and feel quite often I now have an edge when I sit. I noted lately that if it has got short handed then people have sat out which may be a sign I have got much better or just simply then do not like short handed play.

I also have ordered my 1st book on PLO as I enjoy it much more than hold em and don't consider it a chore to play at all. On the negative side multis are still terrible and I wonder if I have genuinely got bad at them after spending so much time on cash.

Anyway - this will be my best non multi winning profit month I think - figures to follow in a few days, although have done a fortune on sports (again!!)

FOL STRIKES AGAIN

16:15 5f Class 3 Levy Board Handicap (3yo plus) - Win Market


Results: 1st Fol Hollow 3/1
2nd Everymanforhimself 7/4 F


Have to admit to not having a penny piece on today though, however 7k race so a few quid from my share of prize fund.

Report from MPR

Fol defies the weights to score again

Looking at the form book, you could not have backed Fol Hollow today at Beverley today, as he was meeting many of his rivals from his previous Beverley victory but at much worse terms, giving some of his opponents nearly a stone in weight. But this year MPR horses seem to know that we are aiming for 50 victories, and they are putting in that bit extra to win their races rather than being placed. Fol was not drawn ideally in 3 but, with the defection of a couple of horses, he found himself drawn only 4 from the favoured Beverley rail. Adrian helped Fol to break superbly and he found himself on the pace with some of his rivals over 6 lengths down after a furlong. The writing was on the wall at this stage as there is not many horses who can give Fol a lead and then peg him back over 5 furlongs. When pressed by the Kevin Ryan trained favourite, Fol lengthened again to put his rival to the sword. Fol Hollow has now chalked up 3 wins this season already and has treated his owners to win in the UK and Ireland, what a terrific horse to be involved with. Lookout for him following up with another victory at the weekend.

ASCOT MARE

Really annoyed at myself - lost discipline today and did a fortune in on the horses at Ascot (> 2K). Really annoyed as having a really good month at poker hence was rather reckless today.

On plus side I luck boxed out KK v AA in a hand this morning for 2K so will just consider that I lost that !!! - However puts me in 3K sports hole for month (again) !!!
