Sat - played the £10k and came 10th going out when my AQ went heads up with another players AA. Only 4 players were paid so I lost out on this one. I did play a £20 freeze out later in the evening and came 3rd winning £61,
Sun - no poker
Mon - LPPL pub game - drunk plenty of beer but did not do any good playing poker.
Tues - LPPL pub game - same as above.
Weds - no poker
Thurs - no poker
Fri - tbd - hopefully I will find a tournament somewhere. [UPDATE: I played the £10 rebuy at the Big Slick poker room - the second time I have played here. Last time I won the event but this time I bubbled going out 10th with 9 being paid. I had about 12 big blinds and could haveeasily folded into the final table and into the money, but a situation came up 5 handed to add some chips and I could not pass. The table had been quite active but tightened up as we came to the bubble. I was the big blind and was dealt KQ. UTG limped, as did all other players round to me. I could have checked to see the flop for free but decided this was good squeeze play semi-bluff where I could shove and increase my stack by almost a third if everyone folded. Even if I was called, as long as UTG folded I felt I would have good equity in a race (assuming other limpers had small pairs OR A-rag OR suited connectors). Unfortunately UTG called with AA and I did not get the cards I needed to crack them. So game over, but in hindsight I think my play was OK and I got a little unlucky. Of course lots of people thought it was terrible play :-) ]
Certainly not the most exciting poker week!! It is fireworks/bonfire night in England so I have spent some time enjoying that and visiting friends.
