Nice easy reading blog. Are parts 2 & 3 all about the train stations between Brighton and Nottingham?

Q. Did you get to play any PLO sat night or did you want to just get an early night and focus on day 2 of the holdem event?

Sorry but I am not into trains and stuff. I was sitting quietly at my seat reading my book. I was trying to get some sleep but couldnt. It so annoying when you want to sleep but you cant.

There was some PLO on Friday night but I arrived on Saturday morning so missed it. What did you mean having an early night? Play ended at 2:30am and I was literally about falling asleep on the table. I had my lenses on and my eyes were hurting me also. TK, Coxy and some others played dealers choice on Saturday night. I saw a bit during my breaks but I dont know how to play all these variants.

That was some scary game Greeky, & I'm glad you never sat in.

I had played briefly on a £1 £1 Omaha Table, sat with the Max, which was £250, & doubled up immediately. I had decent aces (4 card high), managed to isolate Mr Aggro, & the flop came 3-3-6. 

He either has the 3 or he does not, mostly not, so I potted, & my man wanted to get the lot in, so we did.

He had 2-4-5-7 (eek!) for a wonderful draw, but it bricked out.

So my £250 was now £500, at which point, the £5 £5 DC game, for which I was on the list, opened, so I took the £500 across to that.

A dollop of run-good soon saw that £500 become £1,500. 

And now the problems began.

Richard Berridge (super-aggro) sat to my right & pulled up £10,000.
 
Kurt Forgottenhisname (super-duper aggro) sat to my left, playing £20,000. 

Now, I don't mind getting my money in with the right hand, but these guys pressurise you, every hand, & £1,500 is a lot of money to me, which I was not prepared to gamble "lightly" with. They are both well-loaded, & £20,000 means nothing to them.

So it was 2 hours of really careful starting hand selection & pot control. I ended up with the £1,500 intact, but that 2 hours was one of the most interesting 2 hours of cash poker I can recall, as I had to concentrate extremely hard not to make a mistake, or get sucked in with a bad starting hand. I even mucked a 10 high paduki!

What a buzz poker gives us.
