Belated post....

Went to riley's weekley freezeout tournie on tuesday 21st, came 2nd for £82. They've changed it to a £10 insead of the usual £20 they used to have, apparently due to some new law coming in september. Other than that been on usual betfair playing 2/5, 5/10 NL. I've entered the pokerstars sunday hundred grand thingy 2day for $10+1, hopefully cash big in a online MTT soon as my results recently have been very dry to say the least! lol. I can see my cash game play has improved alot the last few months, well since ive been playing on betfair seriously (26th june). Hopefully it all continues and the consistency sticks!!! I know a bad phase is coming, it normally does.....but until then HAPPY BLUDY DAYS!!! LOL!
Its a nice day so im off to the park for some footy, and play tennis at the courts. To be fair the weather has been absolutely crap this summer, so must take full advantage when the sun does finally shine a few days in a row.....especially this being bank holiday weekend. Ahhhh relaxing.......nice cold beer.......oh and then back home for some online poker!! lol.

A Touch of shopping.........

I'm revamping my flagging PC which really is just pissing me off when it restarts by itself in the middle of playing or browsing the web. The new setup will have the 27" Dell monitor, and use old screen as well, new graphics card and tv card. I thought i may as well get a bigger screen so not only help when i play poker, but also can be used as a TV to watch DVD's and just really multi-task with ease.

Other than that my target profit for the month is $5k.

Weekly Rileys.......

Went to the local rileys for a little £20+0.60p freezeout, got knocked out in 11th place, was screwing a little but have calmed down now. I had AQs, went all-in preflop, he limp called my all-in with AK...paid out top 9, oh well...nh....gg.
Came home played $2.50/$5 on betfair, went on with $100. Called preflop with 4d5d, flopped str8 on board. Let us know any views on how it was played.
