Thats a shame you can't make it, as you said I think its going to be huge value. I have managed to scrape in with what will probably be one of the smallest starting stacks but still 69BB. I am hoping all my run good for the year comes in this tourney
Enjoying your diary Julian. You have a talent for it, i feel, almost as if your chatting to all as individuals and you seem to be 100% honest. Mind that could be a bluff,ha!! Ty for putting the effort in...cheers

ah good luck & remember not to waste energy on fretting about how many chips the other players have, 60 odd bbs is fine to start the day with & it's very possible to grind a short stack for days...just ask tikay #weeeee

hah, my bluffs usually get called so we shall see!
No we haven't played live, i'm only a rec player, our buyins don't overlap very much and I haven't been able to play any SPTs.
I remember two hands against you online. First one, you raised utg and i took you on with quite a weak hand (don't remember what) and managed to stack you, based purely on the assumption you would be raising light and i fancied the challenge. The second I tried to do the same, this time though I had QQ but you had KK #sigh #youwererunninglikeThewy

i nearly always play the mini, the 9pm & 10.30pm alongside the main...last night though, the wife was out so i had a free reign in the lounge; had some tunes on, a bottle of red, some great company (obv),
one table just fitted the bill, not too taxing when i'm chillaxing & hey i sure ain't complaining.
HU johny_e had a 2:1 lead which i didn't even even get close to overcoming #ggsir
Just seen this, Gratz on the 2nd place mate! Using all your run good up before Vegas I see, sigh Alan, lol @ Thewy even coming close to winning the Jackpot, you need mad skillz to do that #weeeeeeee Posted by dylan12
didn't you win that back in the day when no one could play?
so we got back from a pretty exhausting 9 day excursion to ireland last night...shocking journey home, hot & stop-start traffic all the way, not at all stressful.
we visited friends in enniskillen for a couple of days, went to dublin zoo (best i've seen), squeezed in a day at the seaside & then it was of to my half-sisters wedding where i even ventured onto the dance floor (let's dance).
the head wasn't too bad the following morning, probably helps that i was in bed by 1am #confirmedlightweight
i was pretty much offline for the entire trip which meant there was heaps of catching up to do this morning; after weeks of dithering i finally ordered my vegas currency, did it online & it's supposed to arrive by post later this week so there's a small sweat building til that little package arrives...
amanda heads back to her folks in shropshire tomorrow, 'for a break', & tbh what with her manning the fort single-handedly whilst i'm in vegas she'll need it.
i plan to play a full MTT schedule most nights from 8pm onwards; apologies in advance for any iffy plays that cost you your stack!
had a pretty flat week online with just one final table for a 4th place finish (i think)...had been running pretty hot in the fortnight up to that so no grumbles.
went & played spt birmingham on saturday...i love these events, the atmosphere is great & it's always nice to put a few faces to names.
i chipped up pretty well from level 4 onwards then just couldn't seem to progess; had to raise fold a few hands & although still above average i hero'd a BB shove with K-8 for 10bb & his A9s stayed good...then got my last 10bb in w K-8s & lost to a good call with 3-3 from jamie-lou.
off to gatwick tonight then fly to vegas tomorrow morning for a fortnight; i'm playing 4xWSOP events for sky & my schedule looks like this;

Best of luck in Vegas sir.
P.S. I was sat to your right on your first table in Birmingham. I didn't say much; I was pathetically starstruck.

You must be confused Mr Willlhelm - I never played the Main Event on Saturday.

You may be on to something there Tikay, as I needed a bit of Dutch courage before I could pay you what I had intended as a very high compliment. Incidentally I find it very easy conversing with Richard, which must mean I have absolutely no respect for him.

You were indeed very quiet. I thought you were just a focusedindvidual! This explains things

I have managed to scrape in with what will probably be one of the smallest starting stacks but still 69BB.
