Knackered

Good Morning

Well this morning I am well and truly knackered due to too many late nights.

On Friday I bought the missus a car and plumped for The Chrysler Voyager as the 7 seats will come in useful. Then we had the entire family round as it was my big sisters birthday so pretty hectic day but no poker.

Saturday we went to a big party where they had a very good band there called Bambu and if you happen to see them advertised go and see them they are pretty good, had one or two bevies and suffered slightly the next morning. Managed to chuck up in the morning but I put that down to a dodgy sausage.

Spent most of the Saturday afternoon then getting wet finishing off the outside Xmas lights – will finish them today and then have the big switch on – going to do it for charity this year so trying to make it bigger than before. I will post a few pics on here later this week of them so you can see how mad we are.

Settled down then for an evening of Poker and was running so so and at the last minute decided to enter the ECOOP $500k guaranteed which is the reason why I am knackered this morning. In the midst of playing this I played in stacks of STTS and managed to cash in my last 8 so a nice profit was had there as well.

In the ECOOP event I started off OK thanks to a few idiots and at the first and second breaks I was up in the top 10 and looking good. However with 1645 players vying for the $100k first prize there was a long way to go. I was playing well but getting outdrawn a lot and some of the hands I can remember my AK lost to A 10, 99 lost to 44 and KK lost to AK (all in pre flop). If these had held then I am sure things could have been different. Anyway to cut a long story short I finished 84th after jamming with A 10 suited and losing to AQ so at least it wasn’t a beat that I went out on. I got $750 for my troubles but not sure it was worth it for my 2 AM finish. Having said that I wasn’t playing for 84th I really wanted to win it and don’t regret my jam one bit.

Very happy with everything that is going on with my life at the moment and as I have said there is a lot going on in the background that I will share with you all soon.

There are now 2 correct guesses in my little £50 comp so you just need to get the last question for the £50. Have a look at the thread and see if you can guess it. Mandylou – I need you to get in touch so that I can send you the £20 for the last comp that I did.

Really hope that you are all winning loads and don’t forget if you need any help with setting up an account with The Big Slick and Ipoker give me a shout at duffs16@hotmail.co.uk.

See you all at the tables later and in the meantime have fun!!!
