    Hi Pod, back on now just been walking my dog bobby along the canal. I've not had a go yet but was on about the incident Tikay told us about yesterday at Walsall when the player sat next to the dealer had their winning cards scooped up so they lost the hand. Think it was one of ours.

    Secondly, how good is the standard on Sky with all the blue hoodies left in. Well done to the players still involved, keep going today.

    Seriously I would say that about half the guys that I played yesterday would stuggle to be a winning player in £22 Sky 8pm MEs.  Really bad.

    Thanks for the support guys.  We got 4 blue hoodys plus Ben thru.  Just hope that Rich and Darren (Solidstan) can both get an early double up to give themselves some breathing room.

    I've never had such a draining day of poker.  I'm used to long sessions online and live cash but this was something else.  I was really concentrating throughtout and really really felt it.

    66 left so still a long way to go.  Think all the Sky guys are gonna head down the pub for lunch and a drink or two before we head over to the casino so thanks a lot for all your support and hopefully we can do a collective BINK!

    Not as much sleep as I would have liked last night. 

    Didn't set an alarm, stuck the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on my hotel door, set my phone to Silent. Not required at the casino till 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The path was clear for the sleep of my life. I figured at least 12 hours. I'd make up for all the accumulated sleep deficit over the past few weeks and arrive at the casino for 1pm, refreshed and in top form.

    I woke up at 7.15am. FML.

    Once I'd woken, I thought- no problem, I'll just go back to sleep...on this ordinary day...ordinary Day 2 of the GUKPT, that is. Well that was it. As soon as I remembered why I was in that hotel room my head it started whirring. 15,950 chips. Blinds 500/1000 running antes of 100 and 2250 chips an orbit when play resumes. How do I play a low stack that's not quite yet a short stack?

    Before I knew it I was scouring the poker forums and making calculations. How many Ms do I have? (6.3 btw). What will I do if I hit a medium pocket pair? Do I open-shove? etc etc...

    So, not as much sleep as I'd like, but I'm still raring to go. I'm currently in Starbucks across the way from the 'luxurious' Holiday Inn Express, downing a bucket of caramel macchiato to flood my system with caffeine and getting myself in the zone.

    Bang up for this though! In less than 90 minutes I'll be back in play and put right under pressure from the first hand. Double-up or die time- and you can guarantee it'll happen in the first 30 minutes of play.

    Watch this space!

    Shove. Ideal spot is to find someone who is opening the pot a little too often and 3b all-in for 16BBs. Get to pick up the blinds, antes AND the opening bet that way. None of this opening for 3x stuff though. Stick it in (their eye).

    Good luck to you and of course all of the other Team Sky Poker players who have made it to Day 2. Going to be some epic railage. Very weird being on this side of things for once, but a hell of a buzz too! :)
