They Say Our Love Wont Pay The Rent...

Yes... still playing Step 3!!!

My Cunning Plan Has...

a serious flaw!!! :-(

I missed out on about £11 of profit last night... and now, because I was playing golf and missed the tips, lost out on another £12'ish today! That first £Million is going to take a bit longer at this rate.

I Have A Cunning Plan...

This time next year I fully expect to be a miwllyanaire... unless I loose my £20 bankroll in the next few days!!

My cunning plan is to blindly follow someone else's wagering recommendations, someone I should point out, who is on a super run at the moment. I got off to a great start last night, backing Hull, £6 @ 2.38. Although I did bottle it with 90mins played, when Sheff Utd won a corner, and gave up 67p of profit by laying them off at 1.08, to ensure a profit of £7.50'ish.

So, after commission my initial £20 has increased to £27.23.

My source recomended 2pts Doncaster Rovers (v Derby) @ 2.9 for tonight... unfortunately, I didn't spot the tip until the game had started and there was no in-running market for the game. Doncaster Rovers won 2-1... Bollocks!!!

Not Really A Tip...

Merely bringing to the attention of my loyal reader, that JYS is available at a big price for this weeks Honda LPGA, in Thailand. It has to be said that she hasn't exactly hit the ground running in 2009, she missed the cut in her last event! However, 16/1 is surely too big... so I've 'lumped on' and look forward to spending the fruits of my £5 E/W investment.

Super Sunday...

Local boy comes good... I only went and followed up my morning golfing success by taking down the Pigeons game that night. Get in there!!!

And Now Some Good News...

I claimed my first podium finish in a golf tournament this morning... taking 3rd place (just 1 point behind 2nd!!) in the monthly Golf Matters competition at Witney Lakes Golf Club. :-)

I had to turn down the prize money and sponsorship offer from TaylorMade, as I don't want to give up my amatuer status!

It's 6:00 am... Sonny & Cher Are On The Radio...

And I'm still playing that fucking step 3 SnG!!!!

Phill Hellmuth - Legend In His Own Mind...

This was Phill's exit interview, after finishing 6th of 6 in Heat 7 of the Party Poker Premier League III... Yes Phill, you really out-played them!!

Groundhog Day...

I am begining to know just how Phil Connors felt during his visit to Punxsutawney, PA, in 1993!!!

I have now been playing a Step 3 SnG (on Stars) every night since Feb 2nd!! I accumulate a few chips and then get cold decked in 3rd, 4th or 5th place... rinse, repeat... when will it all end??

In other news... I went to Asper's in Northampton last Saturday night, with Rich and got drawn in the seat next to him, ffs! I finished in 12th place, waaay out of the money. More details, more eloquently put, on Rich's blog - HERE.

Oh, and my knee is feeling a bit better and I've started hitting a few balls [gingerly!]. Thanks for all the 'get well soon' cards.

Priceless...
