Hello, hope all is well - hope you all had a nice Easter :-)

I played pretty much every day since the last blog, I managed to run well in the 16 euro re buy on Ladbrokes and won it for the 2ND time which was gr8, such a good value comp.

I do remember on the final, I could hardly keep my eyes open, as I had no sleep the night b4, I think it's all the red bull I drink, I'm basically hooked on the stuff, and it prevents me from sleeping properly, but if I don't drink a few, I'm in a horrible mood all day, and feel like I haven't woken up properly lol.So I don't remember too much about the hands, I think it was pretty much ABC throughout and the last 3, they were pretty tight players, so I just took advantage of that and chipped away at them, until they played back me.

I was really looking forward to the Easter tourney on there on the Sunday, you started with 10k in chips and I felt it was a good structure, and with a overlay massive value. I started off well, got up to 14k just by bluffing here and there, but played relatively tight, then I find AA, I think it was on the btn, the bb calls the raise, the flop comes Q high rainbow, he leads out, so I raise he re raises me, to like 3250 and I shove all in, he has 7k behind and calls with Q8 off suit, and rivers an 8. It tilted me so hard, and in the end I got it in with QJ vs AK and lost.

I played the 20 re buy on there which was a 10k gtd, and came 2ND, so it wasn't too bad for the day.

On the Monday I played the 6k gtd on poker encore (ipoker) and came 2ND in that to get a little profit, kind of spewed that, when I 4 bet shoved with my favourite hand - 75 spades and was up against A10 off and he held.

I did not play much after that until the last couple of days, which maybe I shouldn't have, as I have not got even close in anything which is pants!!!

I have had NO runs on stars for what seems like AGES and it's really starting to annoy me, My backer let me play the satellite for the UKIPT in cork, thought if I could bink that, then I could have a nice break away so kill 2 birds with 1 stone, but that was not meant to be, when I squeezed with AJ clubs and the guy who flat called the original raise took me on with 66 and held....

I have took advantage of the bonus they were offering with the free scoop ticket, so I have a couple I can play, and will have to see if I'm allowed to play any others.

Tomorrow afternoon @ the Big Slick in Croydon is a £100 f/o with a 6k gtd - 15k chips and a 30 minute clock throughout, should be a good comp, it had 75 runners last week, it starts at 5pm so if you fancy a good comp, you should head down there.

The 7Th of May I will be heading up to Dusk till Dawn to play the £300 monthly deep stack, I am hoping for a really good run in this, as this year hasn't been great for live tourneys, so hopefully I go far, and get a nice holiday weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lololol.

I want to try grinding harder than ever before, my mum has been pretty ill, she has had some serious operations and still has not recovered fully, it would be nice if I could earn enough to give her money each month so she does not need to work, in my way this is how it should be anyway, she has bought me up throughout my childhood, I just want to make sure she stays around for as long as possible.

I hope everyone watched the wedding at the weekend, and I thought she looked great and they kept it quite normal too, which was good.

Until the next time.....
