What's Going On
August has been kind, with a win at the monthly 300 in Walsall and another at the new Circus casino in Nottingham. The latter was quite spectacular in that, once three-handed, I managed to flop back to back full-houses to snatch it, firstly with Q-Q, then a 2-9. Easy game really.
I should also mention a chop (eight-way no less) at the 33 runner main event in Sheffield - I won’t bore you with the details but the deal was too good to refuse ;o)
I’ve been playing more cash too and despite the occasional gaff we are showing a modest profit. I’m just back from two days in Brighton and I’m sorry to report that their midweek 500 had only thirty one runners. The 200 fared a little better with almost eighty but were it not for a nice score in the cash game afterwards the trip would have been a very bad decision.
It’s Barcelona next week where the second half of the season kicks off proper. Until then I’ll leave you with this little gem of conversation that took place at my table whilst playing the 300 at Walsall.
The young hero had been quite busy and was doing his best to go broke, but was clearly more concerned that folk were whispering about him:
“What did you say?”
“Nothing mate, I was talking to him”.
Listen, lets go up to the cash tables and I’ll play you for fifty grand right now if you want”.
Ok, just let me go to the cash point”.
“Who said anything about using a cash point?”
Oh to be blissfully wealthy and unaware.
