This report comes to you live from the end of a 14 hour poker session and from the wrong end of a bottle of whiskey. As I type i'm on the FT of the ladbrokes G/Y tourney (40$ entry, 70 odd runners) and on the break after the third hour so more from that live and as it happens. Played really well at the start of the day and finished just off the cash in a few MTT's - not through being short stacked but by being aggressive near the bubble. OK it didn't work but made a change from limping short stacked into the money. Played so badly towards the middle of the day that I even tried to unregister from a tourny on stars but it was too late and I duly donked off my chips. Played Deliiight's Xmas tourney on Ladbrokes - an added money tourney donated by Deliiight the Scandi star of ladbrokes but hardly made my presence felt despite hanging in for over 2 and a half hours.

Got my buy ins back for the day on stars when I cashed in the 5$ rebuy - also qualified via player points for a rebuy muppet fest with one package to the EPT Dortmund tourney to be won - finished 31/180 odd in the craziest tournament i've played - people rebuying at 20$ a
time to throw them in with any 2 cards. Will be watching the event with interest as some of those people have no business on a poker table whatsoever. I know it was a turbo rebuy but some of the plays defied all known mathematics.

Just went out of the GY in 5th for 211$. Arrived at the final table in about 5th but had no cards at all. Usually I can find an opportunity to hang in without cards but had nothing playable for about 45 mins. Managed to stick around and only went out when my JJ lost to A rag. Still at least that's another profitable day and i'm still in the game.

By the way if anyone reads this let me know what you think - if not it doesn't matter - I only started this as a response to a thread on the forum asking if blogs improved peoples games. I'm still not sure if it does or not but at least it's a record of what's happening.

So gn, gl and good dreams.
