Close But Disappointing

Jet lag is still nuts, slept from 4:30am - 8:30am and from 2:30pm - 7:30pm today LOL.

Anyway ive only played 2 multis and 1 stt, both multis great results but not great enough given the finishes.

A $22 CPC shootout with 32 players, went heads up with 3/1 advantage only to double the guy up K6 vs K7 with the 7 kicker counting after the chips went in on a king high flop. Then i got 77 and ran into his QQ when we were level in chips so i just got a return of $48 instead of going through to the $400 shootout final. The standard is terrible in these shootouts though, i must play as many as possible , on paper i think my $22 entry is worth 3 times that when i just sit down given the format and the standard.

I played the same $109 as last night and was very pleased with my play finishing 3rd/24 in the end for $525, i wont post the details but again my gambling around the bubble time and shorthanded paid off big time and i could have easily won the tournament again with a tiny bit more luck. Never mind i cant win them all :(( .

Other bonuses i have received today include a bottle of champagne and a seat in a 10 player stt (date to be confirmed) for a win only 6600 euros EPT package of winners choice from Littlewoods. Apparantly there was meant to be more hospitality at the WSOP but wired money never made it so this stt is a bonus for qualifiers instead. Personally i thought the hospitality was fine but what the heck i can wait for a freeroll 1/10 chance of an EPT package , the way im playing i hope its very soon as i would like to think im 1/5 not 1/10 to win it at the moment if the structure is kind.

I also have read that my 1% shared ownership horse "Laddies Poker" is to run for the first time in a maiden at Newmarket a week Friday. I was not overly impressed when i saw it at the stables a couple of months ago, i hope im proved wrong as im no horse racing expert. Either way it will be a laugh to watch it run , walk, hobble , fall over or whatever. :)
