Overall its ben a good week playing in my new surroundings. A hyperactive 4 year old in the room doesnt seem to have affected my play and ive had a few good results. 2nd place in the 40 dollar breakfast club tourney on laddies was the start and i also had 2nd in the afternoon 10 rebuy for about 500 dollars.

i also made the comeback of the century in a 20 dollar deepstack tournament on stars with 5000 starting chips and 30 minute blinds. Despite a preflop raise of 5 X BB holding QQ i was called by J8 off who hit 2 pair. I was left with 90 chips which i threw in with 62 off and a 6 on the river gave me the pot. 8 hours later i was sitting on 200k chips and hit the FT. Unfortunately at this point i had to go to work so got a sub in to take over. My sub duly finished 3rd for 500 dollars.

Got my best finish in the laddies evening 20 rebuy which is a tourny i dont particularly like given the 12 min blinds but managed to come 5th for 616 dollars after being last with 33 left. I was determined to cash as id had an awful day throwing away my winnings. A couple of bad beats didnt bother me but i threw away decent stacks in the BC and the 30 rebuy on laddies by ridiculous play.

Overall im a good several hundred dollars up over the last few days but would be a lot more if i hadnt wasted a load on sats and turbo stts.

300 more deposited on laddies since my last blog entry and 450 on stars. Been playing a lot less due to having acquired a girlfriend on one of the rare occasions that i left my pc. Good news on that front though as she has just got internet so that i can play poker from her place. Question is how will it affect my poker. I feel ive been playing well when i have played with a good few fts under my belt but ive been spending way too much on turbo stts and sats to big tourneys. Onwards and upwards though and ill have to do the poker accounts before i go off to england next month as i have a feeling i; now slightly down for the year but nothing drastic.
