Yes I quite enjoyed last nights poker. I played pretty well for once and ran decent as well.
I was all in just short of the money in the £33 and got there and then picked up a lot of cards and got a big stack. I lost with Aces with 3 left which left me short. That would have given me a big chip lead heads up.
The other two then clashed and we were heads up and i think i had about 150k and he had over a million. It was quite a long battle from there and i managed to chip up nicely and made a few good calls when he bet big on the river with Ace high and 3rd pair etc
We got it all in eventually where I called when i had J10 v his A8 on J Q 8 Q and the river was a brick Feel quite thrilled about it tbh. It’s only one tournament but it’s given me a bit of confidence back at decent stake mtts
The mini i only has half an eye on I went very low on chips with a lower full house and then won a few all ins and i was back in it I was very low as we got to the final table so was pleased to just ladder a couple more places
I messed up in the Sunday major Top pair and nut flush draw on the turn but i could have let it go and still been in ok position I knew he was strong
.... Derby are shocking It was very nice of @goldnballz to send me the match highlights I seem to have deleted them in error though without watching

Well done.
On 1 level, this sort of thing pales into insignificance. On another, it can provide a considerable amount of pleasure, albeit that it can be a little more tricky to be grumpy..
Had a tidy Sunday myself
PS-can see you still have the ability to see the way the cards are stacked-Derby ARE shocking...

Still smarting from losing with Aces on the river for a head with 3 left though

Here's the @EssexPhil thing. He goes by the name "ABC_Geriatric" on Grosvenor, which seems to me to be a really well thought-out alias.
Year-long freeroll-sweeeeet
Plus I can wear a Grosvenor patch at the next SPT
Gonna rename the thread
