What a journey to Scotland, I borrowed my mums car, I knew it had been having a few starting problems (but did not mention this to Chubbs and Nick) and sure enough we broke, after we stopped for a break off the M6 at Kendall. Luckily Nick had his AA card and we were back on the road an hour later, and we rang DC to tell him that we wouild be late.

I had a good weekend at Cin Cins, its a nice friendly place and has a great mezanine floor where they play their biggest cash game. After 4 rebuys I managed to get knocked out with trip A's V a straight and the guy couldn't apologise enough. I resisted saying "how can you call a 5x BB raise with QT off" and said "nice hand". They had 77 runners in the comp (could have took 100) and by 12pm there were 3 cash tables running.

I got battered by DC in the Omaha cash game (6 cards!) and then he proceeded to batter me 2-0 at heads-up (my tactic was to hit a hand and get paid, as I knew it would be tough to bluff him after he called me with J high on one of the first hands!). Everything was in very good spirits and Chuubs gave him a heads-up lesson after me, coming out the winner 2-1. We ended up not leaving Cin Cins till 6am but there were still cash games going after that.

I'm glad we went, the jocks love the bantor with the english, and we gave them plenty of that. I wish Tony G and DC all the best in the new venture and I predict it will be a success, especially after they get their new poker tables and word spreads about the place.
