Very nice!
A great weekend - and profitable as well, what more can you ask?
I was out before first break in the Friday night tourney. Sat down at a £1/£1 cash table with £100, before I'd paid any blinds I had £250
Cashed in my chips a couple of hours later for £235, but not before throwing them all over the floor at the poker room door
The team event on Saturday was great. We didn't manage a team photo because Mike_ was delayed after somebody tried jumping onto his train from a high bridge.
Sat down with 15,000 chips and at the first break after three levels I was disappointed to be the team shortstack with around 11,000 after losing an early 4-bet pot with KK and proceeding to miss almost every flop afterwards. Doubled up shortly after the break 5-bet shoving JJ over the table aggro-monkey's 4 bet and winning the flip against AK - he had a little whinge about my shove being too loose, obviously forgetting the earlier hand when he 4-bet 99 and won his flip. Busted him a little later when I called his small raise from the BB with A4 and flopped the joint 2 3 5, he 3 bet shoved over my check-raise with 99.
News of Mike_'s arrival and subsequent bustout closely followed by Karrde's demise dampened spirits a little bit but 6 of us were going strong at the dinner break, by which time I'd chipped up a bit to over 60k. Feeling good (and maybe a little tipsy!) in a cheap attempt to curry favour with the rest of the table, half of which were female (but that's not relevant!), I ordered a round of drinks for the table but before the waiter could return we got broken.
More to follow...
