Nottingham, robin hood & one merry man (part 2)

So I got more than three replies, if you are sitting comfortably then I shall begin.....

Driving round Nottingham late at night looking for a B&B, lost again, in the old town I found a whole string of houses one of which was called: "The Hylands" another omen? Booked in, went to late night store & got 8 cans of STELLA, SNICKERS BAR & special offer cherry pie @ 69p, thats supper sorted! retired to B&B telly on picture only can't get any volume, £39.00 lovely clean room & good breakfast.
Going to sleep planning the overthrow of the DTD 500, day two 38,200 chips (2,000 above the average) surely I won't be card dry this session.....and I can emerge from the shadows to reveal my true identity as pokers best kept secret.......
Seven hours later.......card dry 94 runners left 38,000 chips, great bod & gavin tapped me on the shoulder to say "Hi & good luck" .......I'm big blind @ 3,000 passed to little blind 7,500 to play, I look down A Q off, all in 38,000 matey Mister Polish (well at least they were on our side during the war) thinks & thinks & thinks then calls with A 7 off ...... so all I had to do was win this hand and I would be right into the game justifying two days of eight hours watching deuce nine & Jack five float by........only sixteen places away from the money starting at £850 going up to 1st of £80,000. HAPPY DAYS!!!
Belting down the M1 (south this time...) didn't get lost, got back to St.Albans & popped back to Nicks restaurant, he was in kitchen 10.30pm one of his regulars having a drink with him, told him the sad news then had to listen to pissed restaurant customer who knows ALL about poker because he's played blackjack in a Casino, telling me where I went wrong, the end of a perfect day?
Would I do it again?
Could I have done better?
What have I learnt from this experience?

Yes...........yes..................you get a bloody good Cherry Pie & B&B in Nottingham....................
