Nope sorry. Thanks for the compliment though about the read though.

Will let you know my anupreturns name though is party and on pokerstars its anup returns as a lot of people know that name already.

I play an average buy in of about $55 and i would say i play about 50 tourns a night

to the rail now i am 3/8 with 79k chips blinds at 1500/3000, very tight behind me but second and first both have 90k and 268k respectively.

Have got Greekstein railing me and his input is interesting and correct. Have disputed with him with how one hand was played already but i think its just a difference in styles as opposed to right or wrong, well errmmm actually i may be wrong lol but its only marginal.

down to 4/8 as i type this so will get back to work.

argh i lost it heads up in the 5k gtd on party, winning $815 instead of $1350

The battle went back and forth but ended basically, with me on 320k and him on 270k

He open min bet to 20k from 10k and i flatted in the bb with 78

flop 732

i check

he bets 26k

i insta ship the lot

and he snaps with 33

I may have had too many chips to do this. In the end i was annoyed i didn't win a flip to seal the deal hu before and i am quite tired atm and was getting very impatient to find the spot.

Oh well live and you learn but i was relatively unlucky whatever way you look at it.

$420 up on the night.

Annoying because when you come second in a tourney you think you will have more prof than that, but surprised myself with the amount of entries and failures i had elsewhere.

Some close shaves, all in all pleased, considering i was slightly tipsy playing the night grind.

HUGE grind tonight.

Probably not safe within the buy in limit but not by too much. I may have to start unregistering if it gets too much, sort of haven't got my head around how many tourns i should or shouldn't be registering for. It's hard to get it just right and depends how deep you get.

Haven't prepared properly today as i have dodged gym. I think on days where i do this i need to get my dumbell grind on for like 30 mins because something is better than nothing.

Just had Cos tell me about a 100fo at the international half an hour ago, he got me all excited, i started unregging and then realised there was abso no chance i was making the 7 start would be getting tehre for 8.30 at best as i was already in about 8 tourns.

Agggrevating because i would have like to have gone. Unregged and can't reg back into some 18.00 tourns as well qhich is annoying but o well. Hope he does well.

There is no better feeling than rocking up in a city for the first time, with nowhere to stay and everything new - so liberating.

Sweet. Well i am tilt regging two tourns i shouldn't be tonight and one of them is the 991r1a on party and as you are a phenom on there i wouldn't mind a rail when i bink that Smiley

I'm sending the bill to Cos for my tourney entry losses tonight because of the emotional hardship he put me through earlier, teasing me with a live poker trip that could never be. He however gets a letter of thanks if i tilt bink a tourn i should be nowhere near and a free lunch on me.

After the masterclass I gave you last night, I expect no bill coming my way.
