Monte Carlo at DTD, GUKPT Walsall and up and coming tournament in Slovenia!

Haven't played too much poker lately due to getting back into golf and getting slammed everytime I do play poker (cashout curse me thinks).

I played the Monte Carlo at Dusk Till Dawn which I had a reasonable run in coming 46/295. I had a lucky double up with about 60 to go where I 4bet jammed 66 into AA and flopped a 6 in the door :) then I got quite unlucky when my KK lost to both AK and JJ all in pre after having chopped the previous hand with AKvA7ovA5s with the board running out KQT J....both pots were 240k with average stack being 180k. I like the structure of this tourney and would like to make a deep run in it with DTD being my local.

Next event I played in was 2 of the GUKPT Walsall side events, the £330 NL holdem and the £165 PLO double chance. I busted out pretty early in the £330NL losing KKvAK all in pre. The £165 was the first Live PLO tournament I've played in.....I loved it! It was a great structure for such a short event although I didn't cash coming 14/54 but my friend Chris Cox came 2nd. Will definitely be looking out for some more PLO events as it's probably my favourite game right now.

Another friend of mine mentioned a tournament in Slovenia from 12th-16th that he is going to and I've decided to tag along. Never been to Slovenia but should be good weather and the tournaments run by D4 are said to be well run.

I should be getting my own website soon :D Not sure whether I'll be blogging on there or still on blogger.com but It should motivate me to blog more often!! GL
