Fuck I'm annoyed, just spent half an hour doing a report and then when I tried to post it I had logged out.
Ok, not big on reports second time round so I'll keep it brief. Started well and went from 10k to 12/13k ish in a short time, a few bluffs and a few decent hands. After about an hour I had a bluff that went badly wrong on a QTT board, guy showed my his AT and now I have 2k. So, many many bluffs later I get back to where I started so i decide it's time for another bluff with my 37 off, so, raise re-raise etc and the flop comes KT2, I bet big and after much thought the guy folds his AK and declared my betting reeked of a set.
He wasn't the happiest guy in the room when I showed him what I had. Wee while later I get my first real hand in the shape of KK, now I've been bluffing a lot so I decide to use this to my advantage and I push all in from early position and get 2 callers from late position. I'm thinking hopefully the have AK AQ type hands, they show QQ and JJ, nothing on boeard and now I have 30k. A bit after the dinner break my table is broken up which wasn't good for me, felt I had bossed my first table and now I couldn't get away with anything. So, much much later I get dealt JJ late, guy before me with exactly same chips as me pushes, need to call, no way I'm putting that down, I call, Tikay arrives with the microphone and declares the guy I'm "in" with is a bounty as he won the first
Virgin Festival, 2 free flights to Las Vegas no less, anyway he shows AQ diamonds and now I'm preying for the best hand to hold up, 4 diamonds out on board and my tournament is over.
Forum challenge was a bit of a non starter for me due to being completely buckled, well it was half 1 in the morning. First hand I strike a deal with Brian (MCFC) who agrees to call if I push first hand, I see AJ and in they go, Brian obliges and his 55 hold up, very early exit.
Was great to meet all the guys, vaguely recall meeting Rick very late on day 1, he looked pissed
Special mention to BIG Colin who drove a long way to meet us all, very much appreciated. Rej and Kris the foreigners, pair of lovely guys. Big lollopy Jez who kept us going all day yesterday. Joe the Tic supporter betfly. Big Brian, always a pleasure, Alan great to see yi again.
Few from other places who were nice enough to come introduce themselves, Heniek nice to meet you, Spanner, and you, Borok (?) who was on my table good bloke. Big Ben 8'7 uber chap quality guy. Gerry from Hamilton. Fuck this is starting to look like an oscars speech
Wee Fonzie who looks more like Henry Winkler than Henry Winkler. Big tricky dicky washman, Duncan I cashed in the Oz millions and his lovely lady Helen. Right, enough, this is getting ridiculous, If I've missed anybody I apologise.
