Out of the GY 23/82 - was hanging in ok despite not having much to play with - the biggest pot I won was when I hit 2 pair on the flop after limping in with 12/1 odds with 10 8.

Had 6 BB's left (level had just gone up) when the big stack calling station called from early position with - I pushed all in with pocket tens (the same hand i'd folded 3 hands earlier after calling a small raise with 4 in the pot and an AJ4 flop)
Anyway he thought for a while and called with 66. 6 on flop and goodnight Manic. another perfect example of why not to play mtt's that cost over half your bankroll - something i've only just started doing. 35$ left now on Ladbrokes so some serious bankroll building needs to be done. Might as well set myself a challenge now - might help me with discipline tomorrow in case I start getting funny ideas about playing a 10$ rebuy or something.

So i'll set aside 10 of that for the Friday night forum game if there is one - think quite a few regulars are away so it might not happen and use the rest to play 10x 2$ STT which I shall record briefly here then see where I am after that. Mind you my stt play has been awful lately but hopefully I can do something at that level.

There's also the possibility that I might find someone who can transfer cash for me on Laddies in exchange for a roll on Mansion in which case I can carry on playing mtt's which are out of my range.

Now stuck playing a 5$ freezeout on stars which started at the same time as the GY. Would prefer to go to bed as I have a jobcentre interview tomorrow (despite having 2 part time jobs they are on at me to work more) but i'm in the tourney and will play it to the best of my ability. Currently 33/361 (1767 runners) so might take a while. At least there's plenty of stuff to watch on youtube - addicted to QI at the moment which i've never really seen having been away from Britain for 14 years.

OOOPS - up to 10/275 after a raise with 66 - one caller with about the same stack as me 10 9 4 flop so I bluff all in hoping he has A rag - he calls and turns over ...... 55 - bad bet and bad call or genius play from 2 people who put the other on AK? Possibly the former in a 5$ freeze on pokerstars. Back to 36/256 after tens lose to AQ but he was pretty small stacked so happy with my play. hardly got time to type the amount of hands i'm involved in - back to 17th after a very small stack called utg - i had 85 in BB and a low flop gave me second pair with my 5 - I checked then called his all in - he showed ace ten and got no help. Need to make FT to get 100$ though so this is probably a waste of valuable sleeping time.

Lol out in 149th after a pretty ridculous play - raised from early position with QJ off - KQ8 flop and my bluff was called. Probably better off with extra sleep than an extra 2 hours play so not exactly bovvered.
