Day Eleven

Wow, what I wrote about Arsenal on Monday has already come to fruition after they scraped a point at Burnley. This was just the kind of result I expected to come and also the kind of result that has been extremely over present in Arsenal’s league campaign over the past three or four years. Also a great three points for Spurs after a couple of disappointing games, if only they hadn’t of squandered that 2-0 lead at Everton and won at home against Wolves last week they would be sitting in third and one point off United and four of Chelsea and the top spot, missed opportunities no doubt.

While I am still saddened at not being able to see Jimmy Carr the fact Russell Howard is on my TV screen once a week makes me smile, while he may be a little extravagant at times I do find him very funny and his take on the weeks going on in his TV show “ Russell Howard’s Good News” is fresh and entertaining. Saying that I really do miss The Real Hustle, I wish they would make a new series, I can never get enough of Jessica Clement on my screen.

FML Of The Day: Today, my boyfriend of 3 years confessed that he was sleeping with me and 5 other girls while we first started dating. He told me he numbered us and rolled a die to see which one he would date. I guess I won. FML

This HAS to be a lie, how can one kid be sleeping with six different girls at once and not one of them a) find out or b) work it out. It’s hard enough having one relationship with work and socialising etc but 6 all at once, I’m calling porky pies on that one.

Poker is, wait for it, good! Today started off pretty good, I decided to jump straight into a $50 10 man feeling confident, this was until we were 5 handed and my QQ lost to A9 and left me with 600 chips on 100/200 blinds. I did a great recovery stealing the blinds and then getting a much needed double up with QQ against KT. When I got down to the cash the stacks were fairly even and with some well timed aggression I ended up HU with 12k vs. his 8k. It was a fairly easy HU he wasn’t aggressive enough and I ended up grinding him down to around 3000 on 300/600 and after he limped in and the board came down 9A3 I decided my 89 was good enough to move over the top of his bet and when he showed a flush draw I was happy, two bricks later and it was victory and $250 to me. Feeling in good spirits I played the $10 rebuy $5500 GTD, I lost a big pot early AA-TT but managed to rally back and finish the first hour with 10k, a very respectable stack. I negotiated the 267 strong field down to the last 30 where I was put on a board of KdKcAc holding K5 against JTc, the money went in and the river came an 8 of clubs sending the pot to him and a measly $44 to me. Still so hard to hit the big cash in those tourneys without a lot of luck.

Random Fact Of The Day: Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes.

Idiots… that is all I have to say to that.

Having been happy with the day on Betsafe so far I ventured over to Mansion where I got beat at big time at the beginning of the month. I entered an 18-man $30 and got down to the final table through bullying and well timed shoves. I ended up HU with a big chip lead and eventually had all the money in with AJ vs. his K8 of spades, AsTs6d wasn’t the worst flop but the 9s on the turn was pretty much as bad a turn card as you can get and the blinds got so big after that that I ended up shoving J7 and running straight into his wired JJ. Still more profit into my account, unfortunately my quest to get my Penzance magic back was stopped by Pokerisks own Justin Brennan after his AJ out flopped my 88 sending me out in 11th position when I was 5th in chips, shame. The Pokerisk MTT was also on the cards for tonight, I played well and got to the final table but after losing AJ-QK after a board of 5287Q I was left with about 3000 on 100/200 blinds, I picked up QQ and ended up all in, it was a three way pot against JJ and AK, the 739 flop was great for me but the K on the turn spelled the end and I was out in 8th. Still No complaints, been a very good day and I am definitely looking forward to playing tomorrow and taking down some $50 STTs and may even play a couple MTTs if the day is going well. Never know, I might just be wining the $50 rebuy for 14k.....a guy can dream.
