Wanted to say something but can't find the right words as this is still raw to me. Great stuff and I probably agreewith your views on finding a cure (although we may be wrong)

This....dad had two secondary tumours found in his face yesterday, hearing going, sight going - it's just horrible to watch. I've cried slot last few days, but smiled too. I hope his radiotherapy today has eased the pain and he can get his sight back tonsay goodbye properly. Reading you're diary is tough at moment, but equally I love it as it's a bit of a release - and see the similarities....I played a $3k schedule and bricked tonight!

Keep it coming....a great read and so honest.

Thx Claypole  thoughts with you and family mate, all you can do is be there for him!!

DTD REPORT   so far.....

Ok i drive up friday aft leaving Leigh on Sea at 2.30pm and eventually reach dtd @ 7.15 what a rubbish journey M1 was already blocked so took M11/A1M route and a plane decides to crash on a field.

Great starting table but i think i made a mistake and took the fact i was prepared to fire 2 bulletts and peeled really loosely in and oop but had a couple of good spots and then i get moved just as i was on a roll. So we start again and i pick up 66 getting flatted by the button i lead the flop and c/r the turn and still dont get it through and give up which leaves me shortish.

Eventually i raise the C/o with  (how can i lose?) and get flatted by a nice lady otb and the bb we flop 235cc and i lead call it off and am in tez shape against the bb with  no red 8 or 10 and it's off to a satellite to see if i can get in cheaply for Sat.  Im sat on Georges table and reg in level6 with 25bigs, hand before the break i find AA and raise after 4 limpers and win the pot.

In the next 2orbits i pick up Aces once, Kings twice and AK once and win some nice pots and am chipped up to 33k, George looks at me and says sit back as 30ish probs wins a seat but there are still 25 to get knocked out, also on the table was Leatherman (top fella) and after a short while i get moved and then lose when KK cant hold for 50% of my stack vs 55 this leaves me with 12bigs and 12-15 out of the seats but my table is really passive and people are flatting left right and centre.

George now comes to the table and sits direct to my right and 1st time were in the blinds it goes limp utg and utg+1 goerge makes up and i shove with  both limpers fold and George says "I knew you would do that so now i will have to look at my cards"  and knowing me when he spies the  (best in the deck) knows this is most likely good and calls, oh yeah he even has a 7 to go with it FML and i dont do a get there so go back to the hotel as despite being up here for the weekend i have to get up at 5.30am and leave at 6am to take care of a bit of business in Southend, pick up some bits for Petra as were away in Wales for the week next week and then pick up my new company car (nothing flash but its new and free) and then i drive back up to Notts for Day1b

Day1b

Again the journey is rubbbbbbash and i leave Notts at 6.30am do my stuff down south and drive back to Dtd leaving at 12.30 reaching Notts at 3.15, i have place 1 bet on the footie as most will know      (this is all i play on the footie really and spend 25-50 per week on the same bet and land about 8 per year) but im determined not to check the scores till the first break and then at 4.30 and full time so i can concentrate on the pokerz.

My table looks good as i sit down and sort myself out a voice says "Are you Richard? i mean Eso Kral?" i reply yes and realise its Geordie Neil so we shake hands and he says "Your famous now are'nt you?" and obv the whole table now start looking at me thinking  do we know him/ has he binked anything?

Play solid and get down to 13k really quickly then penultimate hand before the break i find AA utg+2 and we have a bit of elevation getting 2 callers and we flop AJ8hh i lead 1/2 pot and they both fold, very next hand and break is called (no one ever wants to play the last hand) so i raise 33utg to 375 at 75/150 and it folds to bb who dwells and raises to 875 so i peel with the intention of no set no bet and flop A23sss bb leads 1100 i flat obv funking for no spade   turn is  he checks and i check it back and the river is  he checks again and i bet 2800 he snap calls me with  and i see the break with 23k

[Eso Kral]

Level 4 is no good as at 4.30pm i check my bet and i need one gols in 2 matches and decide i will stick to my guns and not check till 4.55 at which point i check and find Notts county have scored to go 2-1 up and its all down to the Burton-Plymouth match
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii   they might not have been paid this month but they tried till the last minute and a 90+1 goal means my £25 returns £2200ish so i decide to have a bit of fun with tighty and give him the slip telling him i cant get internet access on my phone can he please check the scores.

5 mins later he comes back and says "if they are all in, will you sponsor the blonde October update for the deepstack" and those who know me know i always throw in 20-30 as i love the updates even though  i dont read them till sunday or monday and i say yes as its good Karma!!!

I immediately weigh Tighty in with £200 as come October i might have degenned it away  and were back to the game.  Level 5 i raise/fold to all ins twice and then hero a nice tight guy to my right with a lovely facial tell with 77 on a board of 10 6 2 calling the c bet, check check the K turn and calling the 3/4 pot bet on the 8 river and were back to over 20k.

I find AA at 150/300 and make it 700utg+2 and get 3 callers and flop and lovely K83 rainbow and i think not even Paul Grummit can have 2 pair here so lead for 1300 only Paul calls otb we see a turn of  and i exercise some pot control  an dgive him the chance to bluff as he often will and call his 1300 bet on the  river i bet 280 and he pays me off with a K and we have 28k coming to the end of level 6

My exit hand is good/bad whichever way you want to look at it

My image is pretty tight i have not shown down any weak holding so when it folds to me in the C/o i raise  and get flatted by an agro kid otb who is chipped up but has commented on the fact he likes my raise sizing.

Flop is  and i lead for 1/2pot and he flats which i expect him to do with anything and nothing, the turn is which i think is a really good card for me to rep so i bet again leaving myself a nearly pot sized bluff for the river if i dont catch a red jack. Secretly i actually want to see a spade (foolish thought) as i decide i am betting the river regardless and when the  rolls off i put in my 3rd barrell and he snaps me off with    and says as i muck "Did you have AJ?" obv i say say "yes nice catch" and walk away thinking FML he puts me onthe Ace and i'm funking for a spade that gives him the nuts when if its a non spade i get it through.

So off to the INCREDIBLE 100 we go and i join late level 4 and 30ish bigs, it does not go well when AK loses to AQ and then with 5mins left of last level of late reg 2 really bad players limp, a good player applies the limpers tax and gets flatted otb now i look down at  and make a loose peel but i know the 2 limpers are defo calling and i see a floptastic  i ship first to act and the o/r calls with  and i dont do a get there. So i go to the toilet and when i come out there are 30 seconds left of the last level and im walking to the door thinking nah lets go back to the hotel and get some sleep and come back tomoz for the £150.

Obv being the Degen i am i think nah if i buy in now with 20 seconds left im obv gonna do a bink...
