    In Response to Re: Qualify for the SPT final! And watch Orford crash and burn! : The original starting roll or the starting roll after this unfortunate incident?

    Lol Aaron- yes, unfortunately it was AFTER that incident.

    I'm effectively down by my original pull-up now though. Next mission- to get it all back...for the company. Yes, that makes me slightly insane doesn't it?

    Ty Baz. OK so tonight's £5.20 did not go according to plan- I lasted 2 and a half hours, and it's not often I can say that ;) but finished 5 off the qualifying spots.

    So next up- it's the 9.30 semi. I'm 'treating myself' to the £24 buy-in coz I won £200 yesterday so I can just about justify it.

    May need to stick to the rebuys after this though...

    Hmmm, finished 34th out of 50.

    Not quite as good as last night's 3rd out of 29.

    But hey, the numbers are going up for the SPT semis day by day!

    As for me, I think I might have peaked on Day One...

    Well Rich you went out about same time as Phil12.  He was on my table.  I was short stack on table and went down as low as 400 chips.  Double up and doubled up and doubled up........became chip leader.  I n lat 11 and had system crash , came back after about 5 mins, was 5th out of 7 and finished 7th.  Now have finished 12th out of 60 and 7th out of 50, like I think I have peaked.  Do we keep trying?

    Yeah, I saw Phil finished just one place above me.

    7th is a decent result mate. Keep going- you've got to get to Nottingham- it wouldn't be the same without you!

    We'll get there, Gordon!

    :)

    Right! Seconds out, Round 3!

    It's my third night in a row of attempting to qualify for the SPT final.

    Once again I'm starting with the £5.20 rebuy at 7.35pm and then buying into the 9.30 semi if I fail to satellite in.

    Hope to see you all again this evening.

    And if you haven't had a go yet at qualifying, what are you waiting for? It's a great poker weekend away where you make new friends and you'll be in with a chance of winning some serious dough!

    So, my 4th final table in 5 tourneys- (let's just turn a blind eye to the fact that a couple of those tourneys only had about 10 runners, shall we?)

    We're at the break- 6 players left. Top 3 go through to the 9.30 semi.

    So effectively I'm playing a DYM for a chance to have a shot at Nottingham later tonight.
