Go out and see bruno now! I was bit surprised seeing 3 elderly people walking in, didn't think that was the demographic that Sacha was aiming for. 10 minutes into the film... 3 elderly people walk out of the cinema disgusted.

I haven't posted a proper blog post in a while, been really busy travelling and not playing poker. Thailand was the first place I went to. 3 scruffy, jet lagged boys walk into one of the nicest hotels in Bangkok with no reservations. 5 minutes later we are sat in our penthouse suite that sets us back about £100/night each. Not too shabby! Ours was next door to a couple of British poker players living out there; Fletcher19 and sh58 (who blogs here, sup!) which was really cool. We started out in Bankok for 4/5 nights then headed out to some of the islands. Koh phangan was the first island we went to and I spent my brithday tearing it up at the black moon party. Then we headed to Koh Samui for 2 nights and back to Bankok before heading home. I definitely want to go back to Thailand again.

A weeks rest then off the vegas! Our house (The legendary Gossy wind) had about 6 people in it with some coming and going. 3 guys I went to Thailand with were there; Fionnmac and 2 other poker players. 2 british poker players (born2dogbaby on stars and wtf5s) were also staying, tjbentham crashed on the couch for a couple of days too. And last but certainly not least, Big Raaaj (roger manefield on 2p2). he was the only guy who no-one really know anyone before the trip, but he turned out to be a legend. He wrote a tr of his and mine 1st night out together in Vegas http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/92...=#post11094118. Dal_kid was so funny that night. He plays 2/4 on ongame, so I told him my sn at the start of the night, he said he didn't recognize it. Many vodkas later... "I was lying before, I do recognize your name. You fold to 3bs far too much" *passes out*.

The leggo party was a good laugh and was great meeting everyone. Although I have to say to the guys that coughed up $600 to get the bar maid to get topless, what were you thinking??! I got a bunch of leggo gear which I wore round Drais (an after-hours club) later that night with pride, and convinced the taxi-driver on the way there to tell everyone who gets in her cab to sign up to leggo. She better keep her word on that!

I only played 3 tournies in the end, 2 $1500s and the ME. I was doing quite well in the 1st $1500. Got QQ in on a 952 board in a 3b pot. Guy flips 22, turn Q. Bink! Later on I get AQ aipf against a shorty's AK. Flop K33 at which point i declar that the runner-runner is definitely comming. Turn Q, river ....Q Bink!! Guess I'm just lucky with the ladies! The field was stupidly soft, but then eric liu was moved one spot to my left which I wasn't too happy about! I then got AK aipf against an internet kid's KK for about 70bbs. I probably could have gotten away from it, but idk. I raised ep (i had been active) folds to him in sb who flats, then a shortstack shoves. I flat then the kid thinks for a bit and 4b and i shove. Meh. Big Raaaaj and I arrived late for the 2nd $1500, an hour later we both saw eachother in the live-action room. Nuff said.

I managed to make it 38 minutes into day 2 of the main event, unfortunately I spent all of day one playing on a table of nits which was incredibly dull. Not too many exciting hands, I had to fold tptk at the end of day one though. Nitty tourney pro raises utg, old man flats next to him. I call AQ otb which I may even be able to fold, but it's AQ! Flop comes Q23r. Nit cbets 1/2 pot, old man calls, I call. Turn 4. Nit checks, old man bets out like 1/4 pot. I call (gut shot, one time!). River blanks, he shoves and I sigh and fold. This left me about 35-40bbs going into day 2 in which i proceed to lose like 4 pots in a row leaving me about 16-18bbs. A guy who's been raising q. a bit limps (I know this could be suspicious, but I really thought he was weak), 3 people limp behind. I shove A7o, 1st 3 fold. Then the last guy to limp announces that he wishes someone else would have called cuz he really doesn't want to. So I'm thinking I could be flipping here. Then he turns over AQ gg. Just as I was about to leave one of the guys who limped behind then folds goes to me "beware of the limpers son" .


Glad to be back in Manc, started playing some online poker again and I'm doing Ok, I was doing really well before dropping 20k this morning.. oops!
