Played the £15 f/out in the G last night, got a whopping 28 runners. Having now 5 casinos offering poker within 10 miles of each other, generally all around the same buy ins has pretty much killed some of the tournaments.
Table I was on was a laugh, some decent banter flying about.
In the 2nd level, get dealt KK in middle position, and the active player in seat 1 has already raised to 500. Decide to flat call and play him on the flop. Not in the plan, was a tight bloke raising to 3.5k ( 7k starting stacks). Can"t fold KK so go all in, he has AA obviously. Get lucky with the K on the flop to double up.
Manage to get a double up with K5 on the bb later on, turning trip K"s, but as with Friday, my luck was to run out. Shove A6 suited and ran into KK, had the flush and straight draws on the turn but missed.
Have spent the afternoon experimenting with cascading tables rather than tiling them which is what I"m completely used to.
Played 2 sets of 8 and 1 set of 10, and I actually focused more and played better in the 10, was up in 2 sessions and down in 1. Will play another set of 10 later after food, and possibly 2. It would be more, however I have to, by Wednesday, complete the most dreaded of things, the "self-appraisal". I absolutely loathe doing them as I can never think of what to write, whilst being objective and sensible, so as usual, will probably do it last minute on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
Anyways, enough rambling, it"s time for sausages and wedges!
