Sunday 13th May

A cracking day from very little play. Woke up not long before five and decided to log on to Betfair poker, got into a game with names that were all new to me which is a good sign in the wee small hours of a Sunday morning and bagged $78 so stopped there. Had another session and nicked a few dollars, went to Athlone, bought some new clobber, had lunch in Ballinasloe and went home. Had another short session, went to the pub, had 3 pints, came home, had another session and finished $200 up for the day which I'm well chuffed with. Nothing more to add.

Back to work tomorrow but I've had a great 3 days off as far as the poker front is concerned!

Saturday 12th May

A very good day all round. Got up without too much of a hangover from the previous nights poker in the pub and met Padraig for breakfast in a nice cafe. Bought the Racing Post on the way in for some strange reason, I hardly ever bet on the horses these days due to the fact that doing so has cost me a fair whack in the past. Saw a bookies advert for odds on the Hearts v Hibs game, had no idea the Jambos were playing them today so after getting through a fry I headed to the pub and watched Edinburghs finest beat the wee team 2-0 thanks to a defensive error in the first minute and a howler from the Hibs 'keeper. Had a few pints during the game and headed home.

I played a few games of poker in the afternoon, nicking a few pots here and there and ended up making $178 in 3 seperate sessions, one of which was a $10 super turbo six pak which was a mad game, only played it as I was bored and it was a better alternative to going out on the sauce as that would have led to a Sunday hangover, something I could do without so all in all I was well happy with my day.

I was pondering staying up through the night to play as people came home from a night out and hit the tables but decided against and was asleep by half twelve, I must be getting old!

A good day, nothing spectacular and won $63 just grinding it out. Played in the pub at night, one €20 tournament which I won making a profit of €90 which will pay for a few beers on Saturday.

Thursday 10th May

I managed to get my computer problem fixed thankfully, needed a new cable and had to get rid of some of the rubbish that was using up the memory. Went to the pub and played the usual €20 buy in, €10 buy back and €10 top up for anyone who did not buy back. Had 11 players all on the one table and I got to heads up after being in a bit of a pickle earlier on. Playing against a bloke who I should be able to beat every time buy struggle to cope against his maniac play. I offered to split the pot to which he agreed which bagged me €150 from an initial €30 put into the pot so I was delighted.

Played a short while online banking $55 so all in all it was an excellent day.

I'm off work now and not back until Monday so I'm in great form!

Sunday 6th May

A hard shift on the tables after an extremely boring and long shift at work, there's grinding and there's taking the piss. Won $75 but it took a long time, 1 cup of tea and 3 bottles of bud. The good thing was I got a couple of names into my player notes who bluff with anything and are easy to trap so I hope these boys are regulars! Nothing more noteworthy on the poker front.

Man Utd won the Premiership today thanks to Chelsea only managing a draw at Arsenal so a good day all round. You've got to tip your hat towards Sir Alex Ferguson, that man epitomises the phrase 'fire in your belly' and if I can show any of that hunger towards the limit hold 'em poker I reckon I'll be quids in.
