Nothing much to report this week... I'm still on my break from online poker, except the odd satellite or PokerPlayer mag freeroll.
Two small live tournaments... Last Sunday was the fortnightly £10 f/out at The Pigeons, which saw the biggest field for sometime, at 11 players. Unfortunately, the details of the night have faded with time (and maybe the Guinness!!), however I am reliably informed that even with 'The Mob' at full strength we were all on the rail well before the money places!! :-( 1st place money, for the 2nd week running, was taken down by 'Anonymous Steve'.
Monday night was the Invitational League Playoff at the WVCC. This is a 16 player tournament for the top points scorers over the year, for a prize of a seat at a big live event. I actually finished in 17th place in the league, but was invited to play as someone else was on holiday. Rich was also there, having qualified in 11th place. Starting chips were dependant on points scored; I started with 2625, Rich with 3125, while the big stack was 6425.
I think Rich said he had to get home early - to wash his hair or something?? - anyway he hit the road in 15th place... I struggled on but, card dead all night, the blinds eventually caught with me and my last 1600 chips went in with KTs only to be called by KQo, first card on the flop was a Q and that was that, out in 9th place.
We are all now looking forward to Sunday and Day 1b of the APAT European Championships at the G Casino in Luton. 'The Mob' will be 4-handed for this one, with a guest appearance by 'The Enforcer', Neal T. Hopefully some of us will be making the return trip on Monday for Day 2!
