Not as much sleep as I would have liked last night. Didn't set an alarm, stuck the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on my hotel door, set my phone to Silent. The path was clear for the sleep of my life. I figured at least 12 hours. I'd wake up for all the accumulated sleep deficit over the past few weeks and arrive at the casino for 1pm, refreshed and in top form. I woke up at 7.15am. FML. Once I'd woken, I thought- no problem, I'll just go back to sleep...on this...Day 2 of the GUKPT. That wss it,. As soon as those words entered my head it started whirring. 15,950 chips. 2250 chips an orbit when play resumes. How do I play a low stack that's not quite yet a short stack? Before I knew it I was scouring the poker forums and making calculations. How many Ms do I have? (6.3 btw). What will I do if I hit a medium pocket pair? Do I open-shove? etc etc... So, not as much sleep as I'd like, but I'm still raring to go. I'm currently in Starbucks across the way from the 'luxurious' Holiday Inn Express, downing a bucket of caramal macchiato and getting myself in the zone. Bang up for this! In less than 90 minutes I'll be back in play and put right under pressure from the first hand. Double-up or die time- and you can guarantee it'll happen in the first 30 minutes of play.

Shove. Ideal spot is to find someone who is opening the pot a little too often and 3b all-in for 16BBs. Get to pick up the blinds, antes AND the opening bet that way. None of this opening for 3x stuff though. Stick it in (their eye).
Good luck to you and of course all of the other Team Sky Poker players who have made it to Day 2. Going to be some epic railage. Very weird being on this side of things for once, but a **** of a buzz too!
