Leeds

I absolutely love this meet up even if I never remember any of it, whilst I play a fair few hours online, nothing is quite the same as playing live poker, gives me a great buzz whether I’m bluffing or playing the nuts.

Although my concentration span for tournaments is something I need to improve on as I played like an idiot throughout. Drinking like an idiot was probably the main cause of this mind!

Friday night welcome game – play lots of pots, give someone a nasty beat all in pre with 93 v AK, finally going out 77 v QQ all in pre. lol. Play a bit of cash, can’t really remember much of it but had worked up a nice stack before blowing all profit. Had one spin of roulette before going home. Won that flip thankfully.

Day 2

Omaha tournament – last less than one hour. Crippled by Catweasil in like the 3rd hand and was on life support from that moment on. Sambuca’s duly start to rule the day the 1st coming in at 2.30.

£5 SNG – Bust 1st 2 or 3 players and duly bubble money, lolz

Bounty tournament - In hotel room. Asleep. Not even sure why I went back to the room. Wake up at 8.15 realising I’ve missed the start, so late reg for the casino tournament, not sure how far I got, not sure what I went out with. Went to cash tables with £70 up to about £300ish, but again, can’t remember any of the hands that got me there. Though my pair of QQs held against Catweasils gutshot wheel draw…. I think, I just know I won the hand…


The 4 entrants of "The Flower Power" tournament




On the online front after a disastrous July. August hasn’t started much better but with wedding season coming up it may well be a good time to have a break (will post graph of month and yearly later on

The final golf major is also upon us, and due to me being at Edgebaston for the England v India test at the end of round 1 I have gone for my bets pre round 1 tee off. They are as follows:

Ricky Fowler and Jason Day. These two have been ultra consistent all season, I’m just hoping one of them can kick on to get in the winners enclosure.

Martin Kaymer, not having the best year since getting to Number 1 at the end of last year but he won this last year and at 45-1 I think he is very good value.

Nick Watney – Again very consistent, and one that I normally back in the majors

Long shots Ryan Moore and Keegan Bradley. Keegan Bradley has won on the PGA tour this year so obviously has some form and worth a few of my English pounds
