Luckbox central and Johnny Lodden!

Things have been going good, getting some very consistent results in local tourneys that I am playing in, also cash game results are seeing more profits than losses. I played the £30 double chance freezeout yesterday, 55 runners, got down to last 4 and did a deal that saw me and another player get £400 each, and the other two shorter stacks got £360 each. I went to the final table one of the shorter stacks, but doubled up to 85k when my KQ of clubs shoved and met a pair of 9's, I hit two pair and got the double up.

Key hand though saw me pick up AA under the gun, i raised to 18k (blinds 3-6k) player flat calls on button and the big blind shoves all in. I go all in, as does player on button! button had 77 and big blind had KK. I have them both covered and neither hit their set. I knock both players out and go big chip leader!! First time picked up aces in a while live, and not a better time than a final table against KK and 77!! :P

The Sunday game is really good structure, although kind of turns into a crapshoot near the bubble/last two tables that involves a shove fest.

Cash results have been good, and I am making a few changes within my game and trying out a few adjustments, and my results have been positive, just so many plays! I LOVE IT :D

After the tournament I came home and played some PLO on pokerstars, Johnny Lodden was at the table! limits were $2-$4, I took a $175 pot from him, weeeeee :P I left the table with a decent little profit, was really just a little fun to wind down!!!

I played another satellite at Dundee for the £500 game, as I already have a seat if I win another I can cash one in for £550 cash, so these satellites offer me great value, as field largely soft. I got 4th and got £70! 3rd was a £100 seat and 1st/2nd £500 seat. Still gave me a £50 profit :P

I am looking to travel down to London with the Wu when the WSOPE is on, going to be staying for a week. I am looking to play some tourneys and cash games, and probably satellite for WSOPE event. Just would be good to have a week away, but still heavily pokered!!!

As I type this it is 6pm on Monday night, I am thinking of traveling to the circus to the £30+£30 tourney. Will decide after my shower :D

Good luck
