Live pokers & Headaches

Hi der! hope your all OK...

As a result of winning the 200 on Ladbrokes the other week, I asked Bankroll Supply if I could use some of my profit to play the Monte Carlo, they said it was OK, maybe this was a poor decision on my part, but I wanted to play it, and felt if I could get chipped up, I would have as good a shot as any to win it.

Everything was going OK on Day 1, until I lost a big pot with KJ on a KJ3 board vs Q3 off, which turned a 3 ...

Day 2 and I had 45k, knew I needed to make something happen, I woke up feeling crap, was not the best preparation for a 1k tournament, my back was killing me all day, I could not get comfortable sitting there.

Anyways I have about 80k at this point, and a guy opens for 7.5k, a shorty goes in for 18k, I am in SB with AJ, I decide to isolate and move all in, the O/R calls with AK, *gulp* until the turn comes a Jack and I dble up.....

Julian Thew gets moved to my table, he has a few more chips than me, and offers to swap 5% which of course I snap off....

I get tangled with a guy pre flop, and decide to drop my hand, get moved to Sunny Chatta's table, he has all the chips, and he's on my right...

At this point, I cant find anything, I lose my bottle vs a player who has Ace high, and just dwindle from then on, it was pretty sick to watch me collapse like that, in the end I find J5 off on the btn, and shove my 50k over the line, the bb calls with A6, flop A5X gg.

I did thoroughly enjoy the tournament and on a different day, I defo would have gone deeper, but that was my time...

However, it WAS JULIAN THEW'S time, and bless him, he went on and WON it for £60k! - I'm so happy for him, and obv very grateful he offered me the %. I am going to give him 5% of the next 300 I play, hopefully will be in a few weeks, as a way of saying thanks, really couldn't of happened to a nicer person.. :-)) - Sunny Chatta came a close 3rd, and from what I saw while he was on my table, he played awesome, really pleased for him too, seems a really class guy, and very good poker player :-)

So this weekend there is a really good comp on Ladbrokes, it is a £320 buy in, starts on Saturday, and is a 2 day event with a whopping 750k gtd pp, there are loads of cheap satellites running for it atm, so get on there, it defo is worth a shot!

There are a couple of good comps over the weekend on Ipoker as well, so will be mostly staying in over the weekend trying to get a good result...

I really need a result on stars too, now all the Americans have gone, maybe I got a better chance, as less runners etc, but something needs to happen soon lolol

I will hopefully be moving within the next month, I spoke to the council and they said I was 2nd on all properties I bid on this time, so they said I should near enough get the next one I bid on, atm there are no 1 bedrooms, but give it 2 weeks, I'm hoping I can get one ! The upstairs idiots have gone on holiday so I will get some peace for a week wayyhayyyy :-)


Things are moving quite nicely with the solicitors atm, hopefully this can all be sorted soon, costly, but effective. Happy Easter everybody, at this time, I think more about my dad, as this was a very special occasion for him, being a catholic etc, so hope he is having a glass of vino and a meat feast pasta up there in heaven :-)

That's it from me, have a good Easter and hopefully I will be 200k richer by next week LOL
