Not a bad start to sunday - won a 6$ 45 player sit and go on stars - boosts the bankroll to just over 200$ from that 150 deposit. Also won through to the 5k added 100$ rebuy tournament on Ladbrokes after spending 30$ on sats. I'll play it as a freezeout unless something out of the ordinary happens. Nice to have a shot at a decent prize though.

Was doing fine in the 100 rebuy - 120 left from 264 halfway into the second hour and i'm about 80th needing a double. Guy from mid position flat calls and it's folded round to me in the BB with AQ. I bet 1600 from about 4500 stack and he comes over the top all in. He's shorter stacked so costs me about 700 to call - he shows A10 suited and everything's fine until the river where he hits his 10. Leaves me with about 900 chips and with blinds 200/400 i'm SB the next hand where I shove them in with AK and fail to beat 88. :-(

Quite gutted coz I was playing ok and were it not for that 3 outer hitting i'd have been halfway up the field with it all to play for. Still in the 100k on stars but a long long way to go there with 20000 runners.

Finished 1825 out of 20000. YOu need luck in this tourney more than most and MY A10 was ahead against KJ until the river. I'd sucked out myself to still be in earlier on so no complaints. 20$ so doubled my money.

Played a 50$ 2nd chance on ladbrokes and came about 23rd from 106. Tried to make some moves while I still had 10 BB's but re raised the serial raiser when he had a hand and then tried another bluff and busted out. Still better than blinding out which I'm trying to do less often.

Playing every turbo/QB muff fest I can find on laddies and donking off a fair bit of the bankroll while doing so. Going to buy in to the graveyard though to see if I can get anywhere near a repeat performance from last night. Got a firend coming over from England on wednesday for a few days so might as well spend a bit enjoying myself now as I won't be able to play much after wednesday.

Came 6th from 117 in a 10$ quick blinds for 76$ and 1st from 15 in a 6$ QB for 45$ to recuperate some of the losses incurred from paying the 50$ entry into the 2nd chance and all the money I spent on sats - 30$ to the 100K and 20$ trying to get into the 75$ 2500gtd. Only 100$ down for the day now from an initial bankroll of about 300.

Spent about 20$ trying to sat to the GY before giving up and paying the buyin lol. Currently 4th from 24 left with 58 starters so will still be a winning day if i can finish 8th or above. Fingers crossed.

Tonight's GY was a very long tourney with some great play all round. Took about an hour to go from 18 to FT and about 40 mins for 10 to go down to 8. I was low stacked for a while but kept myself in it - doubled with tens v AK. Had some railing support/banter from a few forumites which is always a laugh but unfortunately my AK failed to hold up against the Dundee Aces (A5) and I was out in 8th for 100$.

Could have been so much better as I didn't once get them in behind but I guess that's the nature of the game and i've spent a whole day to break even. Then again it could have been a lot worse - i've been in with a chance in some big tourneys - 100k on stars was rivered same as 100k on laddies and only have myself to blame in the 50$ 2nd chance.

All in all it's pretty good to have a 300$ bankrol on laddies - poker's paying for itself at the moment and hopefully that will last although with the tendancy I have to play outside my bankroll probably not lol.

So goodnight and good luck to all who might be reading this. :-)
