Been a it of a turgid time lately - that 500 I deposited was quickly joined by another 200 as I can't seem to win a race. I'm not playing brilliantly but i'm still getting them in ahead but can't seem to win a race.

So anyway in between getting muffed left right and centre I played the first game of the WSOP league on Ladbrokes - a 14 week league where the winning team gets a seat at the WSOP main event. I crashed out around 180/450 odd but had an enjoyable evening watching the progress of my team mates - all very good players and to be honest I think i'm the weakest link in the team - which is good as i'm not that bad a mtt player. We (they) did very well with 45th, 82nd and 91st places. Horrendous beat too for the 82nd place when she raised with AQ from the button and the BB pushed back with Q9 to hit his 9 on the turn. :-(

Good performance and a good laugh though, and we still have a chance (dream on). Either way I will enjoy Thursday nights for the next 13 weeks.

Didn't enter much else today as I was following my team mates' progress but fortune favoured me when I won the 10$ quick blinds for 384$. I know this is hardly a test of poker skill but there is a bit of an art in knowing when to get them in ahead and pray not to get outdrawn and my patience paid off - went into FT 9/10 and picked my moments. Good booster to the bankroll anyway.

13/61 in the GY - people still seem to think it's a great idea to call all the way when drawing so I lost a lot of chips to muppets - ended up throwing them in with 77 and losing.

Can't complain though - got a fair bit of that deposit back so onwards and upwards - or at least try and stagger slightly forwards :-)

Gl all.
