I really enjoyed this tournament. Yes it will not be much different to a normal comp until you reach the bubble stages, but levelling yourself working out players with a P1 badge in front of them is oh so fun.
I was unfortunate enough to have Kings bust by 55 on the pure bubble with 25 left, which left me with barely 2 bb's. Very next hand flick it in with 99 (sweet) and lost to JQ. I go off in a mini huff with Evil Pie finding it hilarious I am the pure bubble biatch. A couple of minutes later Simon Trumps finds me to let me know I did not infact bubble as someone was all in on the other table about half a minute prior to me. Yay!!! Because it was still 2 people away from the P2 bubble I only got £50 from the first pot so in fact lost £8 lol. It was fun though and definitely would play again ESPECIALLY if DTD do the £50/£100/£200 combo.
Made a bit of a rookie error last week in only buying into the P2 £50 section. Was trying to be clever and just wanted to sample the tourney first and see how it played out. Had no idea it was going to be so busy and so many people bought in for £100. Clearly if you don't cash you are a genius and have saved your money but that's just silly going forward. Once the bubble has burst you definitely want to be in the P3 prize pool too.

Yeah alot of what you said Alex and for me a feeling of disdain towards other players that are being happy at the table . It doesn't last long, but still its my cue to deep breathe or give myself a talking to.

Not particularly a poker phrase but tilting for me nonetheless when I hear it at least 3 times per tournament:
"you married yet?"
like I have to explain my marital and childless status to all and sundry.
When you having kids?haha I was gonna say that one too but didn;t want to come across as a complete whingebag. Yeah that one crops up every tournament too. I don't mind people I know asking questions, but when complete strangers delve further and demand to know why I havent succumbed to the obvious shortfalls in my life (their opinions, not mine) then I get annoyed.

Great story about the girl Alex, so that's why I got a brief "Im away till Monday, tell you later" message on Thursday . Whatever happens, really jealous at your ability to bugger off at a moments notice for a shag really really happy for you and long may it continue.
