Eggheads

As the majority of people will now, i am very proud member of the Walkers Sensations. A few months ago, our team captain Dave "the stud" Mount applied for the lads to go on the BBC quizshow "Eggheads". Fast forward a little while and theres 5 of us heading down to Manchester for an audition. Papa Walker picks up myself, Dave, Aryan and Sensh at around 6.30am and we fly off in Walker's speed machine. We get there in pretty good time, and Sensh has only shouted at 3 "sluts" on the way down. We get asked about 7 or 8 general knowledge quiz questions, and we answer only 1 correct. Awesome Team. But its ok, because according to the extremely fit girl answering the questions, it was all about the 5 minute team interview. We had to answer questions about each other and the team on camera, and i think this went pretty well, we were all pretty confident infront of camera so fingers crossed that we should recive a call asking us to go on the show. Also, if we do get on the show, the BBC covers our expenses and travel, so its going to be one hell of a pissup thanks to all you TV lisence payers :-)

Also this week, me and Dave are heading down to leeds at the weekend to meet some of our friends down there and have a night out. Should be fun. However, this again means that my poker volume levels will be down - SHOCK. I dont mind this though, as of course id rather be doing fun things with my spare time. Id be much more pissed off with myself if i was sitting around the house doing nothing when i could be grinding.

Last week i played 3 MTT sessions where i regged up at 7pm and played around a 10 shedual game per night, costing aound $150 each. Feel i played pretty dam well in the most part, and ran up some massive stacks in the $3r 40k GTD, $5 2r1a 35k gtd. But as quick as these stacks i ran up, i was just as fast to spew them back off. I did however manage to come 5th in a small MTT for around $400 bucks, where i got pretty unlucky on the FT. I was big chip leader with 6 left, and then lost 1010 vs q9, AA vs QQ, AJ vs A10 and then my exit i bricked with a flush draw. All against the same person too, who of course went on to win. Never mind, i finished the 3 day grind about 200$ up, and my $2000 starting roll for jambeyang is up to around $2500. Slowly but surely its going in the right direction!! (wish i could run like AndyCarlin)

thanks,
