Poker
Well first of all sorry for the delay I have had so much going on I have had to let slip the blog. I have had so much on that even poker has had to take a back seat.
Since my last blog I have only played 3 comps 1 early exit, 1 12th place and one equal split. The equal split earned me £900.00 which was in last Fridays comp at Teesside.

Earlier in the day I had a long discussion with my friend over how I think my game had changed. I had mentioned this in an earlier blog that I had lost the hunger a bit. So throughout the discussion it was reminded to me about what the smaller comps mean. They pay the costs of travel and entry fees into larger events and help with the expense.

I made the comment in the conversation to go back to what I think is my strengths. Chip building and being in the situation where my opponents were not sure where they were in most hands.
I have had the ability to play the player which is a large part of my game but I think this has been put to the background through out the summer as I played the cards, trying to grind out a win.
So it was b to b, Back to Basics. No re buys or top ups & to be honest always in a good position chip wise. Result £890.00 profit.

On Sunday I travelled down to Huddersfield for a £50.00 re buy. This was the first £50.00 re buy at a brand new casino. Looking at the numbers for the comps mid week it was hopefully going to be a well attended event. With a catchment area of Yorkshire, Manchester etc it certainly had potential.
Result 20 players, smashing!
Ah well lets make it a £100.00 f/out I suggested which was eagerly agreed by all. Three prizes of £1000 £600 & £400.
Five hours later and 5 players left and me lowest chips someone who had travelled further than me suggested an even split of £400 each, all agreed.
I snapped there hand off. Got on me horse and galloped back to Teesside as quick as old Trigger would gallop.

Huddersfield neigh lad!

I do apologize for this blog being short and sweet but time is of the essence.
So I am going to end it there and do a full financial update this coming Friday the 22nd.
Finally this week is Teesside gala festival week. Last years winner Colin Pearson will be doing his damdest to defend his crown while 139 hopefuls will be doing the best to win it.
So next Sundays/Mondays blog will be all about Teesside. Hopefully some interesting hands will come up that I can discuss. I will have my eyes and ears open for any strange and funny situations that may arise, so be on yer best behaviour or you may find yourself on here.
Until Friday L8
