I'll do a diary, Just of my trip to London for the Equal Chance tournament.I find some of the diary's on here an extremely interesting read especially tighty's mostly as i've read it from the start whereas i gave up trying to read all of Tikays World Famous Diary after reading the 1st 30 pages or so as there was still about 200 to go and although it was very interesting i'm just to lazy so gave up and just read it from the point it's at now.I would suggest now that my writing is truly terrible and lacks any type of punctuation or grammer as i'm sure most have noticed so you may wish to stop reading now, no probs,mugs Wink.I would say diary's have no become a fundamental part of Blonde and hopefully those that write them don't lose interest anytime soon(I don't think tikay will be allowed to stop LOL)

Anyway,I woke up this morning and 1st thing i did was put the net on my homepage is sky and there was a headline of breaking news "20 year old man stabbed to death in east end of London" this seems to be happening everyday now and it truly is shocking the way this country seems to be spiraling out of control yet nothing is being done about it.I don't watch the news as i find it truly depressing and normally wouldn't read such a story as this for the same reason however,for some reason i did and it sent a bit of a shiver down me i must admit when i realised it had happened where i am travelling to in Leyton my 1st thought was Shit!.No offence ment here but i'm really not a fan of London at all the place is in turmoil imo and something needs to be done about all these young gangs going around running the streets (obviously this is going on all over the country but it just seems so much worse there).i guarentee a bloody ASBO ain't going to do it the govt. seriously need to get a grip.It will be my intention while i'm there to go everywhere by taxi and i won't be walking nowhere,i'm not the type who worries that something bad is going to happen to them as i truly believe what is ment to be will be, i'm not a very religous person however i do believe in fate but not destiny you make your own destiny but if i'm ment to get hit by a bus tommorow then nobody or nothing can stop that it will happen.

Anyway apologies for depressing anyone who's still with me (very unlikely i know) back to the point of the diary and trip i'm really excited about playing this tonight and again want to thank blonde for this oppurtunity its by far the biggest Live tourney i've played and i intend to fully enjoy the experience.I've only really played one other tourney with this kind of deep stack structure and i know my game really suits this type of tournament.They other game was indeed the APAT event at newcastle season 1 and i probably couldn't have picked a better tournament to start with and had a great tourney coming 5th and leaving with a bad beat story as you do.I remember as i've previously posted looking away from the table as the flop was dealt (i still don't no why i done this as it's something i've never done before or since) at tightys notepad (i wasn't even aware of blondes existance at this point) and as the cards came down heard everyone ohhing and arrghhing and then tighty just said unlucky and that was that won £750 and went to the pub in a right strop which nobody else could understand which peed me right off.It's the only bad beat ive taken that i just can't seem to forget about and probalbly won't until i qualify for the wsop me (got to admire my optimism lol).I think i have a fair chance of doing well this weekend,obviously otherwise i wouldn't travel the length of the country to do so and hopefully all going well i'll make some dash for me and a couple of blondes that have 10% in me (feedthegoat had no faith in me and let me buy the 10% back, wise choice that man lol)

As i was travelling down to London i decided to buy a train ticket for tomorow (already have digs and train booked til sunday)as it's my dads birthday and i knew when i was with him last night he was disappointed a wouldn't be coming to his party at his tmoro night so decided it would be a nice suprise for him if i made it back up.I've booked train for 5 tmoro so guess it would be nearly final table time at least by then so i'll either be in the money or an early journey home to party at me dads.However, as i'm the biggest idiot in the world FACT i booked tickets with my brothers card and put to collect by fasticket as soon as i pressed to purchase tickets it clicked(in my head),f**K i don't have his card to get the tickets i really am such a stupid tw*t like rang virgin nowt the can do so brothers had to go to post office and send me his bank card special delivery to recieve tmoro (trying to change the machine first so he could just send me the tickets but don't think this will be possible) and get them that way.So it's been quite an eventful train ride with that and also playing auckland where my kj was no gud against k8 flop of k108 nice

I'll try if i can to update this on breaks in equal chance(not sure if thats possible) if not will update those interested either at 4am/or busto

GL ME ONE TIME PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS Well done anyone who's still with me cheers for giving up 5 minutes of your time to read my ramblings.

11 murders in 5 days,4 in last 24hrs plus 1 fighting for his life.One stabbing every 24mins...................Welcome to London,oh and gl at = chance.

Arrived at Kings cross at 4ish I asked taxi driver how much it would be from Kings Cross he said £30 (i had no idea how far away it was) so i just jumped on the tube.He said it would've been quicker to do that.Passed the emirates as you do on the way into Kings Cross hopefully will be doing so again in a few weeks time for the home trip I've done a few of the London clubs my best being spurs two seasons ago when we beat them(we beat them last season to but didn't make that 1 quite obvious we would turn them over seen as we're the bigger club and alll).Also had a lot of fun down at Charlton but that had nowt to do with the boring draw that i watched  Wink.

I heard about the 4 in last 24hrs and tbh although I'm not usually 1 to get anxious i must admit i was a bit worried walking along the road when there was a group of hodded lads in front of me(desperately trying not to stereotype people but you know what i mean) so walked into the bookies for 5 minutes (no bets had am not that degen) couldn't find taxi rank for ages.In hotel now going to go along in an hour or so and have some bait before playing..

On a normal weekend i would say i consume quite a lot of alcohol and would class myself as a bit of a drinker but i don't drink when i play as i don't play good am even worse than normal when I'm under the influence.So I'll be staying t-total tonight (very boring i know) so i can give the tourney my best shot.Hopefully will have a skin full tmoro once I've took it down.

Cheers for the gl msgs all

Very best of luck. Don't worry about all the violence statistically its unlikely that you will get stabbed its like a set vs a flush draw or summit.
