I have not played live since the team championships in January. (By the way did I tell you that we won and I made the FT) not through choice but I have had a busy start to the year with work and family. Unable to play at the Vic this weekend as it's my 40th and Mrs. P would not appreciate it me being in a casino all weekend. I don't now if she as got anything planed for me but when I said "I'm going to play poker" she gave me a look that told me "no your not, I have been planning this for 6 months and you are not going to spoil it by enjoying yourself with your friends doing what you like to do on your birthday". So I backed down and said that "I would prefer to spend my birthday with you", got me some brownie points.
So this weekend was the first time and the only time for the next couple of months that I was able to play live. Me and Stuart have been saying for some time that we will get down to play at DTD in there 20/20 or the super50, but when I phoned him up he had already planed on playing at Bolton. Then when I checked DTD website, this weekend you had to qualify on-line (no direct buy-in). So I joined DTD played my first MTT and qualified
DTD was streaming the tournament for the first time and I was on the TV table only for them to have problems with the sound and showing of the cards. Don't know if any of you sore it but you will know how I play.
The tournament itself was run as usual to a high standard. Duke came in late and I also see that TK was playing in it.
I over played trip 7's early on apart from that I was card dead for five levels. Then I got the famous hand, AJ. Early position raise to 1200 (150 / 300 blinds) me on the button decided to see a flop (8500 chips) flop of Q, 10, 9. Villain bet out 1800, I thourt this was a C bet and with at least 8 out's maybe more, plus they could fold I decided to push only for the villain to call with second pair, and I was gone.
