Tuesday was London for a couple of meetings and to catch up with an old school mate. Both meetings were good, but not sure what will come of them. Seeing Kate was brilliant, but after spending the whole day in the city I was really ready to come home! London is awesome, but I am not quite sure I could live there. Also, how people commute there and back every day is beyond me! Real champions!
Wedneday I went to watch Ed Lofstedt play. Ed is super talented and if you're into folk and/or acoustic, I urge you to check him out. I wanted to play the cash game at Deja Vu afterwards, but this time I drove in. Was nice to sit in the game sober! The night went well, winning nearly 2 buy-ins in around 4 hours. I got home and slept well and was able to work the next day. I do love my drink, but staying sober during the week is really important. You can have fun and not drink. Apparently.
Thursday and Friday were just lots of work. Friday night was BBQ, beers and PS3 at Marcs, I do enjoy the lads nights! Saturday I wasn't too hungover and heard there was poker at my local Rileys again. For anyone who used to ready my old blog, I used to visit there regularly a couple of years ago. While not having the bankroll to play the juicy cash game I always did well in the tournament. With all the old faces, this time was no different.
The structure was actually real good. We started at 3pm with 10k starting and 30 min levels. No one knew how to play deepstack so made tons of errors, which were easy to capitalise on. Not that I'm a deepstack master, but I understand all the important concepts. With about 30 runners, I got to the final table second in chips. Dwindled for a bit, but came back and ended up heads up with an almost equal chip count (I had slightly more). My opponent was one of the better players there and he wanted to play me heads up, but I persuaded him to chop. Declined the cash game afterwards as it was back to Marc for more of the same, with some female company this time.
Sunday I chilled and did some work and today has just been a big work grind. Got a new office chair, nothing epic (was £200 though!) but its made things much more comfortable.
Tomorrow will be a bit more work, but am seeing a friend for lunch then the guys for some drinks in the evening. Wednesday off to Malta to hook up with PokerIdol! Really looking forward to a couple of days abroad. Will be back on Saturday for a party and I'm sure lots of sleep Sunday.
PokerIdol has just released details on it's flagship event the 'Malta Madness'. I couldn't be more excited, this event will be televised and will feature not only a €1K main event, but a unique team event where you can chip dump, make substitutions and take time outs. There will also be a 6hr super decadent boat party hosted by Monster drinks. Gonna be sick. If you're planning a poker holiday this year, check out www.maltamadness.com
Other than that, things for reading and as always get in touch!
