Just the 4 tourneys tonight - managed to resist playing the GY and too many other games. 5$ 2nd chance on laddies - came about 120/500 without ever really being in contention - 5 rebuy on stars - can't remember much but think I got into a race somewhere towards the end of the 2nd hour and lost and never recovered. 1200/2700 ish.

Muffs leaderboard on Ladbrokes came 3rd out of 20 - seem to do well in this game for some reason - probably the big stacks and the fact that you get the chance to recover if a bluff goes wrong etc. Did get lucky this week though - raised with KQ suited when lowish stacked and short handed awaiting FT - had to call the extra ten per cent or so and beat AK with Q on flop. Nice to get the compliments from others as I'm ahead in the leaderboard but doesn't really mean that much in terms of getting a decent cash in a tourney which is the ultimate goal. Good game with a great bunch of people - shame i can't make it next week.

Still playing the 10$ rebuy - just starting 4th hour and i'm 21/38 from 291 runners - didn't rebuy or add on as the bankroll won't allow it and anyway I was doing ok.

30 places paid and to be honest the 44$ for 30th would be a significant boost but I won't be playing to creep into the money - i'll be using the old school motto of 'fuck the bubble'.

Been relatively card dead since the break (20 mins ago)- not calling big raises with the likes of KQ though - 26/33 at the moment and down to 9 BBs. Might be one of those tourneys where I really have to sit tight and pick a spot even if it means getting very low.

Just got into a situation I really hate - A10 in the BB - SB puts in min raise - although i'm not playing for the bubble there are only 2 more out before we're paid. If I put him all in he might fold - or he might muff me - he might even be ahead. As it was I called and missed the flop - he bets out - I have to fold. Read somewhere recently that BB is the biggest losing position and I can see why with situations like that.

Into the cash places now so can really go for it. For fuck's sake. I am SB with AQ - UTG calls - folds to me - short stacked with 4 BB's - he is obviously going to call so i'm hoping for a race or even better A rag suited - he has 22 and I missed the board. Fair enough I suppose but would have been nice to get further. Still it will me nice to get some sleep before work tomorrow - got to miss my favourite day of the football season with the 3rd round of the FA cup on but i'll be back in time for the 10 rebuy again and a couple of hours reading up on the footy news. Hopefully i'll come home to the news that the might Ipswich Town have beaten premiership Pompey.
