No phone/laptop for last 3 days has killed me.

Back in England now. Just got to a mates house, chilling here, had no sleep but not sure of the best way to get around this..

Brighton seems super nice, was here last year for a week and enjoyed it immensely, hopefully this year is just as much fun.

Such a brutal last 4 days.

Played the £100 6max tournie a few days ago. Was chip leader for almost the whole tournament. At one stage I won 15 pots in a row, which is pretty ridiculous, I understand stack sizes, and player ranges/perceived image so well now and really think I have improved immensely in tournament poker.

Anyway, I get it in for a huge % of the chips in play with AJ v K3 and it comes xxxxK. I'd have went to the final with around 30% of the chips in play and have a good  chance with my short handed skills to really do well and get a top 3 imo.

Next day was the UKIPT, will post about my grievences with them in my next post but I end up playing the main and increase stack by around 80% with non showdown hands, eventually I get busted in a spot where I'm pretty unsure about but it can't be terrible.

Played 4 tournaments in the last 2 weeks though so bit of a round up.

WSOP $1500
- No cash, lose  on a  board for 5/6x average with soft table
Venetian $550 - Chip leader ITM then lost 4 60/40's 1 52/48 and chop one 80/20, to send me packing instead of probably getting close to finalling if not more
UKIPT £100 6max - Chip leader going into the money. Lose AJ v K3 for the world
UKIPT Main - No cash. Cooler maybe?

Feels pretty brutal to get close to big scores yet far away. I do have a hendon mob though Tongue

Went to bed at 9am this morning, woke uo at 8pm and went to the Casino, sit in a heaven 2/5 game that played like 2/5/10/20/40. I know its a shot, but it was such a good spot and had to take it.

First I lose JJ v AK for biggg pot

Next hand folds to big blind who jams £400 w/  , I snap jam from the big w/  and then the straddler finds 10's.. no bink obv and a pretty sigh cooler.

Fold next 2 hands then 5th hand of the table I find KK in a 2/5/10/20, raise, caller, I put my arm in the air and high five the dealer pushing all my chips in. 2 callers, QQ and 88. Board runs 8910Qx and I have the 3rd best hand in another huge pot. marvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv.

I walk back down the pier contemplating whether to jump or not as I come back to the apartment.

Looking to see if I can fly home tomorrow.

Ok, so UKIPT..

I went down and registered for the £100 and the £550. I then unregged from the £100 as I wasn't sure on timing. I then went back and said can I re-reg please.

It took then 2.5hrs to put me in the system, this is for a £100 comp, ofc I was annoyed but the girls trying to sort it were actually really nice just either incompetent or computer was fucked, either way I got no comp of any sort and I kinda shrugged it off as whatever.

Yesterday I get to the main and they tell me "sorry sir we dont have you on the system" we will ring the G and sort it for you asap.  "Hi we have a Patirck Leonard here, ohh he was in yesterday for 2 hours was he? And he is 100% registered for day1a yeh? Cool. Oh wait theres a problem"...

The problem went on for 50 minutes and I missed almost 10% of the first day where I would have my biggest edge  (being 300bb deep vs the retards) and when I finally get to my table "sorry sir all sorted now" I get told I have bene blinded down for an hour! Obv I wasn't happy about that.

Such a well run series from the outside but seemed really amateurish to me. Dena was very apologetic and did try very hard to sort it tbf.

Everybody gone to casino to play cash and drinking games, but I just really cba. Havn't ate in two days though and feel pretty shitty with everything which is obviously bad, sorry Jared Sad

When I get back to Gib I move in with my girlfriend and will be a new stage to my life, really unsure whats going to happen with poker, feel like I'm playing really good, and I don't want to be THAT guy who goes on and on about how he runs but just feels like "its always me".

Have been awake all night, went to Mcdonalds at 8.30am to buy a newspaper, read for an hour or so and have a drink as nothing in the house.

Get in and there is 5 homeless people camped in the corner of the "restaurant" the manager sigh walks over and tells them that unfortunately they will have to leave the restaurant. I ask why and he sais unfortunatley they cant stay and not eat and that he is just doing his job. I snap buy them all breakfast and they sit there hopefully for a few hours.

I have no idea how people get homeless, but IMO everyone deserves a second chance and I feel really, really bad for them. I didnt make a huge fuss of it and they could hardly speak because of hunger/freezing to say thankyou. I smiled and left them to feast on their first and probably only meal of the day Sad

Karma maybe.

Just had a strategy discussion about utg vs blinds and mini bet sizing discussion.


Guy who me and other mate are debating with goes out for a smoke and my mate (member on here) sais "Never heard so much shit in my life, I'm trying to 3 table this fish, argue with my girlfriend and he is spouting this bollocks"

So comedy.
