    The sun is shining already. What to do? Golf, followed by a few beers on the terrace? Stay in and watch the football all day? Nah Thomas Land at Drayton Manor Park :)

    Great read Jac

    Hoping to get back into the golf myself again from next week (mainly for the exercise element) as upping the volume generally at poker means moving less and the weight can can pile on.

    I will have the footy on in the background but will probably try and get an 'early night' and set the alarm for 4am to get up and watch the Khan v Canelo fight, looking forward to that one.

    Nice to see the players are fans of his too. I am sure you are in favour of anything that helps them get up.

    Sigh
    Just seen that our best player was stretchered off today in a meaningless game.
    At least we've got Bairdinio back for the play offs. Well that's what the Fulham fans refer to him as. Derby fans just call him useless

    QQ into Aces.
    Fun flop. 3 clubs and he didn't have one. Didn't get there
    Nevermind, £200 in a freeroll is ok :)

    Maybe next year for Vegas :

    Thanks for rails everyone. Much appreciated

    Played rebuy at Derby tonight 
    Got a treble  up when short and then got hands

    Agreed a deal when I was chip leader with 7 left. Threw my card in face up to show I was dealing. I always do, whether I'm short stack or chip leader. Got grief of a really fat bloke. Narked me a bit. Knocked him
    Out next hand. Big smiley face from me.

    Chopped favourably a few minutes later

    £730 :)

    That was nasty. Grim going through it once, but meh after having not long battled back from another serious injury.  Hope he makes a full recovery without any complications.

    You must be confident though - your boys favourite for the play-off win?  Diary cleared for the trip to Wembley?

    It ain't over yet.

    Have faith in Mystic Marcus keeping his successful run of predictions going http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-36287571

    A pig known for sniffing out winners in sporting events has predicted his hometown club to win the Championship play-offs semi-final.

    The pig has previously chosen winners in the Wimbledon tennis men's finals and the 2014 Fifa World Cup.

    "He has an absolutely 100% success rate," owner Juliette Stevens said.

    "Mystic Marcus has so far never ever been wrong in his predictions of top sporting events, including Wimbledon and the football World Cup and Derby County not going up last year," she added.

    Been a while.
    Just about sobered up from last live outing.

    Hardly played since then. I suppose that shows up my lack of drive. I play poker online so that I can treat myself and my family to a few things. I have a target each month and once I get there i tend to stop playing much. Always done this and particularly so in the summer when the weather is decent.
    ...
    Wassall is 2nd favourite for the Derby job. Incredible.
    With a decent manager we'd now be in the play off final. We've played Hull off the park 3 times this season. In the biggest game of all he decided to play to Hulls strengths and bring back Bradley Johnson and lump the ball 50 yards in his general direction.
    At football we've put 8 past them and conceded none.
    Buffoon 
    ...
    Good luck to Skys best player CPFC this weekend. He's using some of the money that he's won for knocking me out of every mtt where we've been on the same table to come over here and watch the Cup Final tomorrow 
    ....
    Harry was at the dentist yesterday. Perfect teeth! Obv got a good role model in me and he likes brushing them.
    ....
    New passport has arrived so I can relax. North Majorca next month for a week. Looking forward to it. Love the passport checking service. Pay them a tenner and they have a look and send it off. Once they've taken your money they tell you that there's no guarantee that it won't still be rejected. So what are we paying them for exactly?
    ....
    Had a bad back for a week. Finally easing up a bit now.
    Home alone tonight and so might play a bit 
    Have a good weekend everyone

    Guess Vegas just isn't meant to be this year. I saw Jmccrick do this in the last VLV freeroll. He'd sit out for 30 minutes or so and pop back periodically and shove. Guess he can afford to :). Just short of the money but i wasn't really playing it for a min cash.
    I kind of expected the outcome. I should just start to fold AK pre Dev style. Bust just about every mtt with it these days.
    Going pub

    I'm getting on a bit and so fortunately I've learnt to take the good days and bad days equally in my stride.

    Last Sunday, I had a great day. Harry all day with my Mum and sister. We went to the well dressings at Etwall, my old school was used for some of it which was weird. Over 20 years since I've been there. Well dressings were mediocre but good company. Back to my sisters for a couple of hours. Harry loved the trampoline (don't tell his Mum).

    Golf at night and it was easily the best I've played in a few years. Then pub afterwards. Good day.

    As I was now back to being awesome at golf, I played again on Monday night. After 5 holes I decided to sell my clubs.

    Played poker on Wednesday night. Raced through £140 of buy ins and decided that I no longer knew how to play. I was dreadful. Did a tilt withdrawal and left myself £21 in my account. 

    Last night I took my head out of my backside last night and went to the driving range. Hit the ball well. Took my head out of my backside and deposited again and played 7 dyms. Won 7 dyms and recouped £81. Decided I might stick around for a bit longer.

    I'll learn one day
    ....
    Having a bash at golf again this afternoon. Wish me luck.
    ....
    Really enjoying Grahams thread. Hope he continues with it. Thread of the year 
    ....
    Derby in talks with Nigel Pearson. Hideous turrd of a man. May well be successful but don't want that kind of person leading us.As you may have guessed, I'm not a huge fan.

    Nice guy loser v not so nice winner

    Always good to like a manager - have a rapport with the fans etc - but results are important.

    If he does you a Billy Davies will you be happy?

    Hopefully you will get rid soon enough in Prem to avoid doing another derby this time.

    You see I already have you up there next year. Nailed on. Heard it here first from a top footie tipster. Oh wait.

    Poker has taken a back seat recently.
    Did play a bit on Sunday. Satted into the roller and played a few othe mtts 
    Began well and chipped up well in all of them. Had a cooler v Channing to get to 51k and the chiplead (KK v AA). Made a mess of another hand and went down to 2 bigs. Worked that back up into 30 bigs with 30 left. Raise/called it all off v a player who had just open shoved 30 bigs with 10 4. 
    I should have passed though and not taken such a high variance play.
    Really enjoyed it though. I rarely play the roller these days so it was fun to have a go.

    Played golf last night and had my my best round for a long time. Scored well buy most pleasing was that I hit the ball well. Worked on a few things at the range and something seems to have clicked.
    Best game in the world when you're playing good.

    Got a bloody wedding to go to on Saturday. The only people I will know are the bride and groom. They're doing things a bit differently. 
    "It's going to be a bit waccky"
    Got to be a bit dubious of a couple like that.

    Done a deal to play the rebuy at Derby next Sunday on the back of it. So it's not all bad

    England squad today. Can't understand the doubts about Sturridge. If fit he has to go surely? Kane and Vardy had great seasons but Sturridge is the most skilful by far 

    .
    Waccky needs filtering?
