I love sport, although I have to say I am much better watching it than playing it. Friday night saw the start of the Six Nations Rugby. Thought to myself to keep it interesting I would have a series top tryscorer bet, being Chris Aston, so his two tries against Wales on Friday night has given me a good start!
Saturday saw my return to Ilmington Revolution after the best part of 18 months, although I had made two late cameos as a sub in that time. As we had a bare 11, I started at left back on a very windy day, and, for the 1st half, yes the wind blowing in my direction…just what I needed after a lay off. However 2nd half was a different story not even having to break sweat…although nearly breaking into tears after an opposition free kick was blocked by me in the wall square in the plums. Anyway the end result was 2-0 to us, which should have been more given the amount of shots we had on goal.
Saturday also produced some crazy Premiership results with Arsenal being 4-0 to draw 4-4 with Newcastle. Man United losing 2-1 to bottom of the table Wolves. Chelsea losing 1-0 at home to Liverpool (Sunday). Having said that United are 5 points clear which is annoying as I don’t really think they have produced good football this season. I can only hope Arsenal close the gap or that by some miracle Chelsea do. God I hate United!
Sunday night, well Monday morning was the Superbowl. It’s the 1st time I have watched the full game, and have to say I quite enjoyed it but very tired in the office this morning! I need to get into it more as this is the only game I watch each year, so when it comes to it I’m a neutral who can’t even bet on it as I know nothing about the game!
Not enjoying the grind
I don’t feel I have played much poker yet in 2011, although I still managed to play 10,000 in January, I think mainly down to a couple of 1,500 hand sessions. February so far I have not even played 1,000 hands. At the moment, I’m not really in the mood for playing, although got 20% of my bonus to make up before the end of the month, so going to grind Wednesday to Friday this week and hopefully get the majority of that done, then I can just play as and when I feel for the rest of February.

Friday night, I found a few forumites off PKR playing full ring NL10 donking off buyins left right and centre so thought I would join the fun. 14 hands later I was down 7 buyins, lol. Then lady luck shined on me dealing QQ and holding up for a $72 pot I then won and lost a couple more and ended up with an extra $17 in my account. Pkr1princess was running over the field and was sat with $240, MBN.
Off to PKR Leeds this weekend, to play a couple of games, hopefully I can kerb my drunkenness not to hit the cash tables, as although it is a good idea at the time it is normally my wallet that hurts afterwards!
