So i re-enter and go outside thinking i fill find my table when i get back.
After the break i return to find my stack at 9500 ish which i question and they tell me i was BB last hand before the break so were already under it  Angry

Im pretty comfortable playing short stacked so push some spots and dont really remember too many hands cos i just have a feeling whatever happens im gonna do a win, on each break i use the same urinal and same wash hand basin and dryer (superstitions ftw) and when we get 3 tables out i just under average but got a beautifull shoving stack which im using.

I get moved to Chilli's table (bow chicka bow wow  Grin ) and were chatting away and i have never seen such a card rack in my life, does this girl ever not have Aces??

As we approach the bubble im in a bit of danger till i over ship my 20bb stack over 2 seperate raises and get them both through and Cambridge (Monte Carlo Champion) Alex comes over and offers me £100 for 10% of my action meaning i would have to finish 5th for him to lose a tenner and 4the to make £40 i decline although it was a nice compliment and we go about our business.

With 12 players left a player i have played with a bit this weekend raises and i shove with   and he calls with   and hits his flush leaving me with 9000 and in the s/b next hand at blinds of 4000/8000.  Annoying guy now shoves utg and i call blind with 50% of my stack in and he proudly flips 77 but he cant hold against my 57o as i flop the straight now i know from this point 1bb im defo gonna do a win i open ship   three diamonds next hand and 3bigs and get it thorugh then i ship   three diamonds and annoying guy calls 99%off his stack with QJ and i hold now were back to 80k.

I make the final table with 180k and watch the shorties get knocked out the ladder a couple of spots before getting busy again and after some good calls and good holds were 3 handed at 4am with Mr Mcloskey and an unknown but nice kid, i get to 50% of chips in play at 1point then try to 4bet bluff v bb with 6high and have to fold depsite getting massive odds to call but still having 290k back and i decide its better for me to be happy shipping this stack when i want!!

At 15k/30k Mark makes it 63k otb and i shove all in with QJ and he dwell calls with A9 hit the J on the flop and he hits a 9 so were not safe till i turn the str8 and back in the game, 2 hands later i raise/call the button with A9 and lose to his Q10 so i back shipping again and win 5pots in a row at 15/30 and 20/40 to get back to 550k when we agree to do a 3way chop for £3300 each  Wink

So so far we have had a £5500 return on the weekend, but its not over yet.......

Im writing this from the tourist information centre in Notts and as i have had a great weekend and am on an up i will not post the next real chapter until some time next week.

Petra myself and Maxwell are going to Wales tomorrow for the week on a sun £9.50 holiday   Value ftw and were going to a place that when i was a kid growing up in the midlands my Dad used to take us to in mid Wales as it was the closest beaches in times before everyone went abroad so might not get chance to post much.

Really looking forward to it thought to see how things have changed since i was a kid.

Thanks to everyone for their kind comments on this diary and face to face at DTD its really nice to hear people enjoy the diary, there are some really good Blondes out there.

Be lucky everyone and now going to read the update as apparently tighty came up trumps for me on Friday night and then gonna final table my second tourney this weekend at DTD..............

 idiot idiot boys gonna be boys    glad to be of service I suppose.

After Richard alerted me to the possible merits of reading his diary Smiley I did so when I got home about 3.30am & read away for 2 hours until I couldnt control my eyes any longer. 

TYTYTYTYTYTYTY It is amazingly honest and I, like so many others can relate to so much of it - either from my life or my utterly degen father's life (might get him to read this).  It does go to show how we shouldn't put people in boxes when we meet them, its great when they surprise the crap out of you Smiley

So so sorry about your dad, I don't do talking on the phone hardly ever - but I rang mine tonight. Cheers luv x
