Just as well I banked some of my winnings last night or I probably would have played everything in sight on Ladbrokes tonight. As it was I left myself 46$ to play with (would have been more if Ipswich had managed to win away at Blackpool as I had 35$ on them at 7/4 to get a first away win of the season - blind faith in your own footaball team doesn't pay off usually as a sports betting tactic and today was no exception). Played a few stt's which i'm still shit at and 2 tourneys - build up a great stack in the 5$ 2nd chance in the first hour but was card dead for the second hour and didn't recover - came someting like 98/450 with 50 paid. Also played the 10 rebuy but had no playable hands apart from an AA very early with no takers to a smallish raise so bowed out of that just before the end of the rebuy period. Only 20$ left on their now so i'll have to be sensible with it.

A friend of mine is sponsoring me on pokerstars so I got 150$ deposited which I really have to try and do something with - got the feeling that if i'm on top of my game I will get a decent 4 figure finish before the year is out. Wasn't to be tonight though as I only played the 5$ rebuy (no rebuys or add ons) and somehow struggled through to the 4th hour despite not really having much to play with - pocket tens held up when I was desperate and I thought I was getting back into it after doubling with 99 v 88 when I got AA in early position - 3 x BB raise and the big stack raised it with his KK - no K on the board but 4 diamonds gave him his flush and that was it - out in 427/2955 for $39.55 which is a winning start for the new bankroll.
