Thankfully on Friday I played a live tournament just to get out and be social and ended up making some reasonable money. It was a £20+5 buy in with one optional re-buy of £20, GTD prize pool of £2k. It only got about 40 entries and didn't make the guarantee. I pretty much cruised to the final table never having my tourny life on the line and winning a couple of those crucial flips. It was a 10 handed final and 6 prizes paid with £90 for 6th and £700 for first. Basically one guy completely bulldozed the final table eliminating 6 players while I was just able to do a couple of blind steals to stay around the 10bb mark which is very healthy in a daily crap shoot like this. So it ended up 4 handed with 3 of us on approx 10bbs (100k) and the bulldozer who had about 500k. At which point he proposed a deal of him taking £500 and the 3 of us taking £400 each which of course we snapped his hand for.
So this little bink is pretty nice and since I'm not working for rest of March I have plenty of time to commit to the pokerz. I'm planning to play a few live sessions this week at my local £1/1 game and then next week I'm heading down to London for a few days where I can free roll my girlfriends £250 a night work hotel and grind some of the juicy London games and the amazing restaurants. I was on the fence about going down to London because it can be very expensive, especially if you run bad and lose at poker on top. However a really nice free hotel room in the week needs to be taken advantage of and also the £400 tourny win pads my bankroll nicely to where at worst case scenario I can grind the 1/1 in the Vic even if the rake is horrendous it's still a +ev game with all the lol live regs.
Even though I planning to play lots of live poker over the next few weeks I'm hoping I can also cram in another 35k hands online as well, which I know is way short of my original target haha, maybe one day I will set myself an achievable goal. Anyway as long as I dont run like death live it's pretty hard to not win so fingers crossed my hands hold. Laterz!
