Thanks Des, I have spoken to Dan about my STT and HU prowess   and expressed my interest. I then instantly withdrew as I remembered that the event takes place on school days.

but then again, "when your country calls".........

Am on a stag do in said town. Most people are hitting clubs whilst i get lumbered with someone who is drunk and in need of walking home. Drop him off them find out from very friendly hotel staff about a casino only 5 mins away. Naturally i go on my own sign up and within 10 mins i am playing 1/2 with 100BB. Have hardly played a hand in 30 mins when i get to see a free flop with 4 runners with  kh . Flop comes kd qh td. I check and call a 7 euro bet with my top pair and back door flush draw. 2 folds puts me hu and the turn gives me more potential. I check call a 20 euro bet and decide i"m playing any red card on the river. River is and i lead out for 55 euro. Oppo folds 9j face up deciding his flopped straight is no good. With a few more good hands i cash out for 315 and a nice profit. Belgian poker ftw.

Airfare to Belgium £90 Return

Transfer to casino £20

Finding a seat at the same table of that guy £PRICELESS

WP Rob! Bluff Outs FTW!

After dropping the stag off at the hotel at 1, i went and tried my luck again. Terrible start. Dropped 70 bbs with a turned 2 pair v a better 2 pair. Ground it back up and left the table with 250 bbs. Kept limping with rags and flopping trips and then getting paid off. Cashed out for about 50 euro profit. I love live cash and can count on one hand my losing sessions. Sadly my online cash experiment is in reverse where i can count my winning sessions on one hand. I have lost more dough online this month than i have ever in a month and tbh am knocking it on the head. Its too hard for me to be a winning player at cash online and too profitable in tourneys to try again. This will be my third losing month in a row since my "big win" but now that i"m going back to basics it will surely be my last? Wont it?

[Swinebag]

Not done this for ages

Have gone back to grinding 22/33 STTs and have had a great month on those

The real enigma is my loss of form on stars DS sats.

played - 236
Heads up - 99
final tables - 49
seats - 19 (0 tickets in 37 games!!!)
minor cashes - 17
ROI - 67.8%


This includes a run of 37 games without a seat. For the first 200 games I was able to maintain an ROI of 90-100% and it has now really slipped in this bad run. When looking for reasons, I think it is just an extended bad run. I have still made a good proportion of FTs, but my record on these has been disasterous of late. I remember bragging to Leigh (obviously a mistake) about my FT prowess and had a huge conversion rate of FT to seat wins.

I"m still sticking with these though and am sure like buses, I"ll win 3 in a row

I wont be able to play these during the last week of october though because I"ll be in Vegas baby!! Only 8 days to go and cant wait!!
