and so it continues.....

Went to naps last night, even though Barry Neville rang me up AGAIN!!! I'm beginning to wonder if he has any friends. I couldn't of made DTD anyway as I was trying to figure out how to put a cot together without any instructions until 8pm and after quickly jumping in the bath I had to get the toe down to get to naps for 9pm.

My luck in live tournaments continues to be totally shite as my early hands in the £10+1 rebuy include KK beaten by TT with a T on the river and also JJ beaten by 77 with a 7 on the river, am I the most unlucky poker player in the world? - I must be a contender!!!

I actually manage to form a decent stack of 12k ish but with the blinds going up too fast, especially with it being self-deal again, I try and steal the blinds with a raise to 2k from the button with the blinds at 300/600 with Q9 suited. The sb reraises allin and it's another 4100 to call and I'm getting 3/1 in the pot if I call, but I sensibly decide I have enough to pass with 10k (was that a mistake - maybe). It's uneventful until it's my sb again and I look down at 67s, the table folds to the button who flat calls for 600, I make up the other 300, the bb checks and we are 3 to the flop which come 579 rainbow. First to act I throw out 1500 and the bb folds but the button reluctantly calls. When a 6 hits the turn and the button checks I shove my remaining 8.5k and he beats me into the pot with a call. Now I'm thinking ffs the cunts got J8 or a set or something and nearly fall off my chair when he shows 34s - OMFG and so it continues.......

I thank him for relieving me of my chips with his superior play and sulk over to the roulette machine to finish my toasted tandoori panini, where I lose another £20. Havin thrown £60ish at the comp. I'm light about a ton and when first reserve on the cash table is looking like a long wait at 1.30am I decide to call it a night. However I'm pulled by an invisible force into a seat at the 3-card poker, which is a good pull as my £20 get-out-stakes punt turns into £110 and I leave about evens for the night - musn't grumble!!!
