New Brighton wasn't much to write about really. It started with a field of about 30 and as cards go it was pretty much wait and see. Aggression is the name of the game here with 10x raises normal. So it's all about patience of which I have little. I doubled my starting stack early when I turned a straight and rivered a flush against another turned straight. Lost that advantage set against set then went out with KK on a 9 high flop (2 hearts) when the flush draw called my shove and hit.
Played cash while I waited for the Wee Man & Carl to finish up and spun £100 up to £200 then back again when my QQ was no match for 44. When the two lads were out I was up the princely sum of £10. If I did not have to leave then, bad as I am, I was confident that I would have got it back.
Topsey turvey fun in what is not a bad structured tournament but full of gung ho patrons. Good if you hold when ahead, but frustrating if they hit and say silly things like "trapped ya" LOL
