Couple of stt's this afternoon got me the buy ins for a couple of tourneys on ladbrokes - just went out of the 8$ rebuy after taking a chance with AK - came up against Q6 who had raised originally and KQ - Q on flop and I was out. No point re buying though - for one my bankroll won't really satnd up to it and also playing it as a freezeout gives better value - only 80 odd runners so no point chasing my losses.

New promotion on Ladbrokes - tickets for the Carling cup final up for grabs - there's also cash added in this 10$ buy in tourney so worth a go despite the 8 minute blinds making it almost a turbo. Got off to a good start though so who knows. LOL AA just cracked by QQ so down to a low stack now. Battled through to the money but out in 16th when I had less than 1 BB and AK lost to tens - damage was done when I called with 23 off in my BB - 2000 more for to win 11000 - didn't beat AK so that was my chance gone. 26$ though for a 16$ profit.

Horse tourney starting soon on stars too. 164/213 at the moment with 96 paid from 536 runners. Out 147.

Sunday hundred grand on stars was a bit disappointing - did great in the first hour and build up a nice stack but had nothing to play with in the 2nd hours and the blinds going up every 10 mins means you have to play at some point or get eaten up - I had 3750 chips left and blinds were 500/1000 so shoved them in from UTG + 2 with QJ suited - not the best of moves but needed to double - got called by AK and although I hit the flush draw on the flop the 5th heart never came and I was out 3899/20000.

Still in the 5$ 2nd chance on Ladbrokes - well I was - just lost a race with QQ v AK so down to one BB and it's my BB next. A6 suited. Could be worse. J9A flop and I triple up - still right near last place though. And out in 114th. Should call it a day as i'm up early tomorrow but might persuade myself to play something else.

Finished up by playing another horse tourney - think a good tactic for next time might be to pay attention - got a load of chips in with the lowest hand - unfortunately everyone else had moved from Razz to stud - luckily the cards that were showing included a pair of aces and as I mucked no one saw the rest :-)

Out of the ten rebuy on Laddies too - was time for a double before I got too low so shoved them all in from the button with 99 after a guy just before me min raised - he called with A7 and of course he hit.

Went to bed after that but for some reason couldn't sleep and got up an hour later just in tme to waste 14$ on GY satellites. Also entered an 8$ shorthanded on laddies. This left me with about $8:50 in my ladbrokes account so what I possibly shouldn't have done is deposit 40$ more to play the graveyard with (lol). Hope I can cash because thats my last deposit for a while on there otherwise. Won't be easy though as only 47 runners so only 5 paid. Got 4$ to fall back on though - should be easy enough to build up a roll with that. Or maybe not lol.

The 8$ shorthanded only attracted 22 runners - well about 6 runners and 16 bingo players. With 4 places paid I went out in 5th after hitting a set of jacks and bingo boy hit his 3 outer straight on the turn.

Also playing a 5$ on stars but playing like a total muppet so not expecting much there. Still in aafter first hour though but only just. 5/30 after first hour of GY though - will probably make the FT but finish out of the money now it's only 5 paid.

Also in a horse tourney - 1$ - tried to unregister as getting tired but was too late. Out of it early as my first 5 cards gave me a straight in stud and got beat by a full house who'd been calling all the way with 2 pair and hit on the river.

Out of the GY too in 11th. Lost my race with AQ v JJ and that was that. 4$ left to try and make a comeback lol.
