Another quick update. Got back from portugal on friday morning, had an awesome holiday there and stayed in a pretty balla villa complete with pool, en suites etc etc. It was 15/20 mins walk from the beach at Luz where all the places are huge and it looks like you have to be super wealthy to have a place there. Or just run super good and stay there for 10 days free . Il try and get some pics up on my next blog when i can get them off gf's camera.

After a couple of days back home im back at uni now and need to start work again. I feel like im still on hols and have no work ethic atm. Only poker i've played recently was last night at the new allea casino in leeds. The poker room looks to be slightly better run than the other ****tips round here so i be back at some point. Played a £30 double chance and busted i think 7th with 5 paid. tbh i cant remember a whole lot because id had a few beers before id started playing, and a few more per level.

I had to sit right under the air-con and was freezing and i somehow ended up wearing a bright red coat belonging to a nice older lady while playing. This and my general drunk/loudness levels resulted in some fun spots/exchanges. All the ppl at the table were generally easy going except two guys i guess were regs. One was a younger guy and i managed to tilt him within 15 minutes. He raised the co button called sb called i called from the bb with 56. Flop comes 345 i lead co he raises everyone folds and i drunk drop all my chips in (this is a pretty powerful but slightly douchy move, instead of sliding chips in just drop/throw them over the line, it insta tlits live players) The guy is visibly pissed and folds 99 saying he'll get me later. He turned out to be a pretty nice guy later on though so w/e.

The other guy played real real snug and was ok but was one of these live ppl who acts like hes phil ivey or w/e. He had apparently won £2.3k a night or 2 before so grats to him fwiw. Anyway the only hand of note i played with him is he limps behind a limper, i make a big iso over after a couple more limpers with JJ, everyone folds to him he makes a raise from 700 to 2.somethingk with 6k effective AND a rebuy in hand each. One thing to note is the previous hand he iso'd someone with 45ss and everyone was like LOL-lagplay. Anyways I shove quickly and he goes in to the tank forever, getting >2:1. I tell him hes obv FOS esp. given the previous hand. He tells me im overthinking the hand and ive read too many books (wat?). He eventually claims to fold AK because he didnt want to race at that point (double wat) although i think its pretty obv he made a pretty terrible move were he cant rep a thing. Everyone agreed he made a good laydown so LOL live poker wisdom i guess. Busto hand came some time after, nit limped i shoved, loose player called, nit reshoves (ut oh) loose guy had to call a few chips more. I have AK vs KK and JJ so could be worse. Obv I hit an ace and am about to drunk celebrate when the river comes a K.

I dunno how many live tournys il play in the next couple of months, I was thinking a few because the standard is lolbad, but on the other hand i think my hourly is probably higher on the internet but if a few mates start to play some decent sized tournys i might play a few and see if i can make something happen. That was much longer than expected so thanks for reading and il cy'all next time...
