Quite Literally Sick!!!

My ankle ligaments are well on the road to recovery, should be able to start some light running soon and get back to my other love (my twice weekly five a side football :D) Because poker 7 days a week is not balance :D

However, the last week or so I have not been feeling great at all, really bad fevers, sore throat etc etc. Good news for anyone seated next to me, it's not swine flu, but going back to the doctors as I am not right, perhaps just the way I have been living, not getting great sleep and not been eating well. Anyway............

Just a short blog as I can't really be bothered as not feeling great.

Ok had a mini cash in a tourney, nothing to brag about :D

Played a couple of games outside of local casino, Alea Glasgow Friday game and Monday night Circus game in Edinburgh. Both great games, with prize pools in the £4k-£6k mark, as opposed to local casinos biggest prize pool these days £1500. (plan on playing a lot more of these games rather than the local £50 game on Thursday nights)

Cash game results have been good, one hand that must get a mention. Last hand of the night, I'm up around £420, I get AA on the button, game is £1-£1, couple of limpers, I make it £15 to go, get 3 callers.

Flop Q-7-2 rainbow, checked to me on the button, I bet £50. Two sensible players fold, one monkey that cannot control tilt, has serious emotional problems and is also rather ugly, then decides to go all in for £87 total, i obviously have to call the £37 and he knows that. He has 62, so bottom pair 6 kicker, 6 on the turn gives him two pair, and he scoops a £200+ pot.

He muttered the famous lines from several of the dopes down there "had to gamble, was stuck etc etc" He got lucky that time, so he played it really well! :D

Few tournaments coming up Paul Hendo's home game 7th August, then Dundee Festival end of August, Scottish Championships Maybury casino in Edinburgh.

Will play some sort of array from all that, plan on luckboxing a few ;)

GOOD LUCK and HOPE I GET BACK TO FULL FITNESS SOON :D x x xx

hi m8, doubt you will be wanting to play that £1k event @ wsope.

i looked into it a few months back, the set up is redic

3k starting stack, blinds kick off at 25-50... only thing going for this tournement is the 1 hour clock as most side events seem to be 45 minutes.

Get yourself down to a gukpt event, or off to ireland with us oct 1st- 4th

nice blog again btw :)
