DTD Grand Prix and weekend in general!
Having made day2 of the GP with an average stack it was with the usual hope of a live bink that I headed up the M1 and arrived to be sat at one of the first tables to break so chipped down slightly before moving to a table where the bubble burst and then to the table where I would eventually exit. I didnt run particularly well over the weekend but thats poker and cannot complain as having chipped upto 400k with AK v AJ AIPF I then lost 2 pots to shorties before at 10/20k the nice chap I mentioned a few pages ago who I now know as Michael Howard shoved the CO for 52k and I was left calling blind from 280k with 105ss losing to J6ss where we both flop a pair and 2 hands later he shoves again and we find AQdd on the btn and are up vs A6 and drawing to running diamonds or Queens on the flop before eventually losing my last 2.5bb with 68ss v 77 and AQ.
I also had a last longer with Arboy who sprung to blonde infamy in this drama
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=48454.0 for £200 and he immediately doubled then I did and then I lost said pots and immediately wieghed him in
so it was over to the super50 where I chipped up early, broke tables and then sat snug until at 1/2k with an average stack of 50k I lost 24k but won a 10k side pot with QQ v KK and JJ and then chip back to 45k and have 2 hands vs an absolute legend called James Morris who "sell spuds" but absolutely loves the game and was so funny in his demeanour and telling jokes that were old but still funny and it reminded me of how much fun people still have despite being in for £150.
He got lucky once and then unlucky to get lucky when we chopped 99 v 44 and then chopped again Aq v 88 on A52 3 4 runout before at 1500/3000 I lost all but 10k of my 35k blind v blind where I ship the sb with AQ and the bb snaps A8hh flops well on 569hh and rivered the flush, I then pretty much dbld shoving my 10k in with 910o and getting it through before with 5bbs had to do the fakelook ship utg and get looked up by the SB who flips "The Beltons" and I flip a blind 103o and flop 103K K 4 to exit thereby ending the live pokers till UKPC week next week.
