I've just read Ben's post on the other thread and I'm afraid this might seem a little tame in comparision. I have not been swimming with nearly naked air hostesses neither have I been dancing on top of a bar to Bob Marley. I suppose that is the price I have to pay for being married.(If only i was 19 again Wink)

I go down for breakfast at about 11.40am, sit down and have some food. Just as I finish they start to serve lunch at noon so I think that I might as well stay for lunch too Cheesy.

I go and register for the $200 freezeout where I queue with Sunday and he's not joking, he could harldy stand then. My tournament wasnt very successful unfortunatley.I was sat on the same table as fellow blondite, marcro. I decided that I wanted to try to be fairly aggresive early on which led to my early exit. I lost a few chips very early after being caught at it. I then got some chips back after I re-raised somebody with Q-Q and fortunately caught an 8 high flop, I pushed and he folded, I didnt show him the cards but he said nice hand. 2 hands later I pick up Aces and re-raise the short stack trying to commit him but he folds. Then came the start of my downfall. I raised in mid-late position with J-Q and the short stack moved all in for only 375 more so I had to call, he turns over  Ad-Tc. I get a straight draw on the flop and make the straight on the river but there are 4 diamonds on board to give him the nut flush. I then get caught with J-T on a ten high flop so I push only to be called by A-T, and that was me gone. Julian went quite deep just missing out on the money. I think he lost a massive pot when holding Aces against Tens.

I went and played roulette after and got most of my buy-in back. I played a couple of sit n gos on the night and won 1 so I'm in profit for the day.

I've decided not to play in the $300 freezeout today so I am going to cheer Juilian on, and Phil, if they are playing.

I hear the Rookie is over today, I'm not sure what time but I'm sure most of the hotel will hear when he arrives Cheesy.

Hope its not too cold in england.
