General gibberings

It's been a pretty dry week since my last post poker-wise. I've playing a few comps online with very little success. I played a little live PLO cash last Wednesday night at the International and finished a few hundred up. Not really my game as choice as i'm an average player, and the swings can be sick! As i had to be up early the next morning to go to France though I couldn't get into too much trouble, and as I said I finished up anyway.

On Thursday early I set off with my golf clubs for a little break with some friends and acquaintances from the digital marketing world. We were playing golf over 3 days in Le Touquet, and although i've not been feeling too great a little exercise was just what i needed. We played 3 beautiful courses on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, each of which were just awesome. I played ok on the second day, but aside from that was dismal. I need to get some practice in before I play again! On Thursday evening we had a poor meal next to the hotel, and afterwards I felt pretty bad so went straight to bed. On Friday night we had probably the highlight of the trip. A very good friend (Charlie!) had recommended we go eat at Le Jardin. I'd eaten there years ago as well so booked a table for 13 lads that evening. The whole meal was absolutely excellent, amazing service, food and wine. Given we were a rowdy group of lads i thought the service was especially good! I'd recommend the place to anyone. After that i had one more drink and another earlyish night. Hopefully i'll feel up to having some larger nights out soon. Either way I've definitely got a bit of a thirst for playing golf again...

I was going to play the £75 at the International tonight, but with the GUKPT happening next week in London i'm going to play satellites tonight and tomorrow night at the Vic for various events. I'll post tomorrow on how I get on...

I want to play at least two nights online in MTT's later in the week. I must be due another deep run now after some of the sick beats I've had over the last week... In the Brawl on FT last night i'd grafted my way up to 10k+ from 3k starting stack only for this hand to come up...

Raised in LP by a player who'd played nearly 50% of the last 42 hands and was a net MTT loser big time. I re-raise with KK on the button and he calls. The flop comes QJ2. He checks, i bet he raises i call. The turn brings a K. Tres bon. He bets, i raised all in and he snaps with K10. Of course he binks a 9 on the river, he wins, I puke. There's always next time I guess. You always know you'll hit a dry spell, i just hope it ends soon!!
