Good:
2nd in the $1000 added (from a 1 cent buy) on Mansion on Friday night for $200
1st in the €50 bonus on Betfair (€3 buy in) on Sunday morning for €67

Bombed out both of the Betfair Birthday freerolls very early.
Went out the Pokerchamps $10000GTD (bought in by Betfair for $110) in 32nd out of 64 after being in the top 10 for ages.
Well up for the weekend but not happy.

The Lever
The lever took some hammer tonight. With some horrendous beats I somehow managed to get to the last three of the Flashmob tonight, facing up against MC and Sillyfish. Once there though the cards came and with some well applied aggression managed to take it down. Very happy with the way I played three handed.
First Flashmob win for about 3 months after a terrible run which included 3 bubble finishes. Thats my 4th win now, and although I am bound to play as many as most players, the next best is 2 wins, so I have now put a gap between me and the rest.

Virgin Poker
I always have liked Virgin Poker, so I thought I would add some banners ;o)
Not sure how to get them ony at the top and not after every post, but I'll work on it.
They also have a Bloggers Freeroll on Thursday which will be good, I think the 1st prize is a seat at one of the sub events at the WSOP. Edit: I didnt win the tournament so I have cut down the amount of banners, but thanks anyway.

Fellow Forumites + Big Slick Poker Club
Okay, had a great day/night out on Tuesday (/Wednesday, lol), visiting betfair towers and having a look at some new software they will be introducing at some point in the future. Not much I can say about the software itself, but the I can tell you what happened on the day and record it for posterity in blogland.
Arrived and the hotel (courtesy of betfair) just after lunch which was a bit early but it gave me the opportunity to get some well earned( and as it turned out, well advised) rest. Betfair had advance me some expenses which more than covered the travel into london and back which was also a bonus. Woke up rested and went down to the bar at about 3pm and soon met up with Mandylou, Duffs and Ewan. A few pints of Guinness later, Mavis, Ruru and then Zelda turned up, shortly followed by Ariston. Shaaboom turned up last as he had just come from the airport and there we all were the "Forum Council"
After a few more pints and a "short" walk to Betfair towers, we did what we went to do for an hour or so, with free nibbles and beers in the demo room of Betfair Poker. Then it was mount up in the Betfair provided taxis for a hectic trip through early evening traffic down to Croydon to visit a new poker room called Big Slick. Its a great club and I was thoroughly impressed with the whole evening there. We all registered for a £20 rebuy and then got stuck into the free bar (courtesy of Betfair), so had shed loads more Guinness. My table in the rebuy consisted of 3 x unknown, Ruru, Mavis, Ariston and Mandylou! Ariston decided he was going to be all in blindevery handd until he lost a hand from which point he "would play properly". He managed to bust Ruru a couple of time and Mavis the same. Eventually after he built a might stack of about 18k (started at 1500), he lost a hand and settled down. I then managed to doubled up against him and went on to build a stack of about 7k and the end of the rebuy period, after an add on.Eventually gott down to the last 9 buy was fairly short stacked so when a pair of 6s came along I stuck them in and got called by KQ who spiked a K on the flop. Out in 8th of about 24 for nothing. Mandylou bubbled which left on Duffs in the money and I think he came 4th.
I didnt bother play cash as 1.Its not my game and 2.I was not wanting to get into pots of about £70 to £140 on a regular basis. Sat between Ruru and Shaaboom, who obviously get on well but seemed to be having a few problems on the night, funny to watch though as they were like a pair of unruly kids in class. Mavis and Ewan were also playing on the same table and they were good to watch as both seem to be great cash players.
Eventually we left the club about 5 and got back to the hotel via Betfair funded mpvs, getting into the hotel for about 6. Got a couple of hours kip before catching the train home, getting in about 10am, very very very tired.
Great day for me, and great to meet a few other forum members who were all terrific people - all way above my level of poker - which was never and issue for them on the day. Very enjoyable and thanks betfair, we should do it again sometime!
