Game 2 underway

[The_duke]

Chezger hit Blackpool for the £200 freezeout in the G. Myself and Dan (350) were to set off at 11ish when I noticed a text from RichEO saying his car was kaput. So we took a little detour via Manchester to pick up the man who hasn't seen daylight for at least a year.

We arrived in Blackpool parked the car at the Casino, booked into a B&B and sauntered back to the Casino. The plan was to stay sober for the 3pm comp.

"What you having" -- "Carona NFL" --- ooops here we go again

Anyway the comp had £15k starting chips and a 45 minute clock, good structure. TK, Mr Red,Chilli & M3Boy were in attendance as well, it was great to see them again

Remember there were three of us in the car and we were discussing our personal strategies & tactics on the way. Being treated to a master class from Professor Rich.

We register and when the seat draw is made we end up in seats 3 4 5 on the same table - what are the odds on that (with me in 3 <sigh>).

Anyway we plugged away with RichEO as usual building his chip stack steadily -- the man is good. After 3 levels I was still on 15k, grinding or what. Dan had a couple of runs and was sitting on 40k -- two hands later (10 10 v A K - K on river) (77 v 99 to a 5 card flushed board and he had no club his oppo had higher than the lower get my drift) he was out. After 7 hours I was on 20k -- call me the grinder from now on, I'm tighter than a ducks arse...

It's easy poker then with blinds 1k 2k it was all in or fold -- allin with A J - man dwells for a while and calls with QQ I go out in 12th -- what was he waiting for, christmas -

RichEO is still in (he went a little later) so with a complete disregard to our own needs, myself and Dan decide to do a little recco on behalf of the APAT forum trip in July. We visited various "entertainment" establishments and have a short list drawn up.

We left Sunday morning in order to drop RichEO (out of tourney up in cash - he runs good) and the frigging wipers packed in and it was pissing down.

I stopped at the side of the motorway and RichEO gets out and fixes the wipers. Well he pulled the passenger one so far to the left it stuck on the door jam. Well at least the driver one was still working.

We dropped RichEO off and Dan says "I'll sort out these wipers - I know a thing or two about cars" - BANG - fuse gone and no wipers at all

Called my favourite organisation, the AA "Hi my name is Duke and I'm an eejit"

AA man fixed it and off we go, two miles later the left one continues its love affair with the door jam and we are back to one wiper. Oh well don't care cos I'm not on that side.

I understand that Tony choppity chopped again in the tourney. Well done...   Although how he keeps going is the eighth wonder of the world.

Good friends - good spot -- great life -- priceless.

Oh and by the way I must buy a phone with a camera -- the sight of Tom with toilet paper in his ears when the Bee Gees tribute band started up in the casino was priceless
