Part 1...
Last Wednesday I made the journey up to Blackpool to stay with my long standing online matey, the game. We had never met in person before but if he was going to tie me up and dry bugger me then so be it, after all it was free accommodation! The purpose of the visit was the GUKPT was in town and I was looking for a big game of cards and after dumping my bag, a quick chat and a cup of tea, we headed for the casino.
There was a £30 rebuy satellite into the main event starting at 2pm and it had our names all over it. With 88 runners and lots of mad scousers and drunken Jocks the satellite made 10 seats into the main event so with our combined skills we were quietly confident of a main event seat between us. We had agreed before hand that if one of us made it we would have a 70/30 deal on any main event payout. The satellite was self-deal and as nobody was stepping forward on our table I decided to do it. This was not great for me concentrating on my game but with the shit I kept dealing myself it probably saved me numerous rebuys. I eventually went out with KK when I slow played it in early position and on a QJx flop I pushed only to be called by one of the mad scousers, who holding Q2 off, was never in doubt when his 2 hit the turn. I carried on dealing until the table split up but my satellite was over. thegame was fairing much better however and had a decent stack at the break, but it was not to be and he ran into some bad luck.
I did feel rather disappointed that neither of us had grabbed a seat with 10/88 available, but hey thats poker!!!
Feeling a little deflated and wondering what I was gonna do all evening I decided stupidly to get a monkey out of the cash machine and enter the £250+25 Limited Rebuy @ 8pm. Then as we had 2 hours to kill me and thegame decided to go up the road to the pub with the bookies round the corner to get some food and beer and watch the night meeting @ Wolves, for which we'd had a nice little patent on three selections.
