Half Decent Weekend

Had some good results on STTs this weekend. Played a few with Snap on Saturday, and we even managed a Flashmob 1, 2 in a STT on Party. Snap won so he is now the captain.

I also managed to win the 10pm Thunder on Crypto tonight, 305 players and 1st paid £155.55 which was nice. Not played many MTTs recently and I was only playing cos I had money sat around doing nothing in my UK Betting Account. Cant get to my winning at the moment cos the account is frozen!

Even though he hasnt link his bloh to this one I must congratulate Shaa on 2nd in the 35k on Betfair, and a cash of $7k. Nice one. I cant imagine how he was feeling as it was getting down to it, I was bricking it when headsup for £150!

Back to work tomorrow, but then off to London on Wednesaday for the Pokerplayer Open at the Loose Cannon poker club, should be fun.

Mixed News

Good News
1. Came back from 500 chips with 5 players left in a $10 stt on betfair last night to get headsup.
2. The wifes gone away for the weekend, so its poker all the way.
3. The Sirrus is in the fridge, chilling nicely.

Bad News
1. Lost the Headsup holding KK beat by JT.
2. She left the kids here.
3. I think I prefer Magniers, but hey not the end of the world.

Had a reasonable successful time on the etafir 9 seater stts, and this is where my focus will be this weekend. I dont have a problem with the software (much prefer it to boss for example, and as I am getting 66% rakeback on stts at the moment I would be a fool not to concentrate there. I have also had my usual saturday acca, which will no doubt be dead by half time at the latest tomorrow, but here it is anyway:

Colchester V Southend Colchester to win @ 1.80
Preston V C Palace Preston to win @ 1.61
Southampton V Luton Southampton to win @ 1.61
Peterborough V Torquay Peterborough to win @ 1.66
Stockport V Macclesfield Stockport to win @ 1.57
Rangers V Kilmarnock Rangers to win @ 1.33

And that should return about 15/1, seems like easy money to me. Get On !

Good luck to anyone that still reads this blog.

A Game of Ladders

Just playing STTs for a while as I wasnt really making anything from MTTs, so to amuse myself I decided to play my own ladders game on Betfair.

My rules are as follows:

Win, step up a level, 2nd or 3rd, stay at same level, outside the money drop down a level.

Done okay and got up to the $25 level a couple of times, and not dropped down below the $5 level at all and in the process have made about £60 which is good news.

-$5.50

$1.25 MTT (90 Players) on Fult Tilt - 13th $1.80
+$0.55

$2.75 STT (9 Seater) on Betfair - 1st $11.25
+$8.75

And that was my day, right up to the last game I was just about okay, but ended slightly down on the day.

It also didnt help that I lost £20 on England v Argentina at the rugby.

Ahem... £7.50 Anyone?

Not quite sure why I am putting this up on the blog as a post, but if it earns me £7.50 as promised then thats a bonus...



This is my able assistant Nikki on a quiet night out. There are actually FOUR bottles in her hands and she was attemptng to drink them all at once, fair play...

Its a shame you couldnt see what some of the others got up to!
