I know this is my blog, but it is in danger of turning into my little brothers! The less attractive, less intelligent and quieter Chalmers. Although recently, he is setting the competitive poker benchmark pretty high!
So lets get it out the way, well done! After making 3 successive final tables out of fields ranging from 700 - 1800 runners on poker stars, he cashed for around $6k last week. Good game etc!
On Monday night my brother Blair was asking me to go through to the £30 + 1 add on OR rebuy game at the Circus Casino in Edinburgh, a good game that has been getting 80+ runners. I wasn't that up for it as I was tired, but decided to give the online wizard a shot at a decent game out of town.
Good decision :D! There were 90 players in the tournament, giving a prize pool of over £4k. Out of the 90 players, me and Blair managed to get down to the last 3 :D
I went out 3rd for £690, Blair and the guy heads up did an even deal after a bit of heads up and took £1600 each!!
It is the first time at a final table where I was wanting him to win more than me! Seriously, I've had a few good results live, and wanted him to experience a win or the big chunk of change.
A really good night, and a great result, if Blair keeps this up he will be staking me soon :D
He also came 17th out of 700 last night in the $40k on stars for $500+.
OK ENOUGH ABOUT HIM, THIS IS BARRY'S BLOG :D
I am on a little heater myself, although living in the shadow just now :D (Now i know how stuart feels being friends with me hahahahahaha)
After winning the £550 seat to Dundee game for £20 last friday, I got 4th out of 52 on Sunday game, and that 3rd out of 90 in Circus game. So things are going well.
Plans.................................
Paul Hendersons home game Friday August 7th
Dundee Festival (Playing the £500 game with my ticket, weeeeeeee, and will prob play £200 as well) will see
Then Scottish Championships at the Maybury start of September, unsure what events I will play there yet.
Going to play a few online tourneys to try and match the recent family standard :D
Also fit in some cash games.
All in all a good month.
OH BLAIR, just so you know, officialpokerrankings.com (I've still cashed more in lifetime than you :P)
Good luck at the tables (everyone apart from Blair who obviously does not need it!!)
