    Well Busted out in Blackpool in 31st place (i think may have been 32nd) but feel the whole experience has helped my game, just need to tweek things ive learned. 
    Was on table with Yoyo most of the time and watching his play has hopefully been good for me ( as well as watching some other very good players).Now time for some on line stuff to see how what ive learned works out.
    Played a couple of games in last couple of days on me laptop in Hotel.
    Lost 1 when i was chip leader 4 players left and hotel internet went off (thats annoying).

    BR atm: £176.10

    Long drive home soon, hope its better than the drive here (7 and a half hours)

    Glen ive been with the Mrs and my daughters (they were 16 and 20 at the time) My mrs hates poker, but we had a fantastic time the kids said it the best place they have ever been to, the shows and the whole atmosphere of the place are amazing.
    Tell the Mrs she can just lounge by the pool during the day while you have a game or two, then at night a meal and a show for the both of you.
    This time i want to go to gamble so the mrs says go with your mates.......

    Good luck

    Ah, I think that was on my table, with the AK v AQ v TT and the tens held. Were you on table 1?

    I was on there the whole day, doing well, until my QQ didn't hold against AK just before the end of the day, so went into day 2 really short.

    Well After the weekend, had to draw money from my sky poker account, to pay for expenses of the weekend, as this comes from my poker money, not our household money!!! so withdrew £100.
    Also My computer got banned from sky poker..... Yes not me but my lap top got a ban.. i will explain....
    went to withdraw money and it came up account blocked (or something along them lines) so i contacted sky through sky chat and was told i could play but not from the device i was using..... strange i said has my laptop offended you, after some chat i was told i would receive an e-mail informing me why. Well couldnt play so i went shopping, while in Tesco i get a call from sky fraud team saying my lap top was now ok and i can play from it again... Laptop was in tears earlier when i told it that it had been banned from playing poker with me, but its happy again now...

    Any way after withdrawing money and couple of losses today Br stands at: £59 so some work to do to rebuild.

    Well BR rebuild is underway, went on tilt earlier, someone winding me up, so decided to play any 2 all in against him.......bad move when he had KK.... had rest rethink and came back refreshed.

    BR atm:£82.50

    Will stay on £11 tables for a while

    been a bit of a funny day today, connection problems an all.

    Any way Br stands at £85, (might be £11 more if i get a refund on a game i played last night, because site went off and i had minimal chips left when it came back on) Have contacted customer care and am awaiting their response, i have been told 48 hours before i ask again as they are looking into it.
