Not posted in AGES...

... so time to remedy that.

Nothing too exciting been happening over the last couple of months. Have played at DTD a couple of times in the deepstack, with no joy Will be playing again next month. Had some limited success at their crapshoot comps though, including a 6th in the £75 f/o with ~80 runners, and 5th in a £50 f/o with ~110 runners. Had 10% of Jamie Sykes in the GBMCPTMRFOTWHATEVER main event, where he finished 2nd for £10,000, so that was nice :)

Haven't played live all that often recently because Alea haven't been having games. I've played at Gala a few times but am now boycotting the place because it's awful and tilts me so bad.

Alea have started a new WSOPE league, so there is now at least a game every night, even if it's only 1 or 2 tables. This doesn't bother me. As far as I'm concerned yes, there's less prizemoney, but they're easier to win. So you'll win less more often, rather than win more less often.

Quick report for Friday:

Went to Alea for the £25 w/ 1 rebuy/addon. Highlight of this comp was on a board of AA577 I bet the turn and river holding 77 and got paid off by 66. Out of 15 players I got to 4 handed with the chip lead and managed to finish 4th. wp me. Set into gutshot didn't help but w/e.

So I sat down at cash with £100, as it looked like a very soft table. I can't really remember what happened as I was getting more and more wasted on cocktails as the night went on. I recall being up to about £180 at one point, my stack being made up of entirely 50p/£1 chips as £5/£25 chips suck. I then was up to about £300, but at 6am when I cashed in I only had £180 again. Ah well. Best bit is I have no recollection of how lol.

So, gonna keep this a bit more up to date now. Will post quick tourney reports for most tourneys I play in. They won't be too in depth, unless there's a particulary interesting hand or something. But there'll be a nice overview. I'll also keep a track of how the league at Alea is going.

PS. Gala sucks.*

*except for girgy and brunny (aka gala brun), and the attractive dealers whose names i can't remember
