Right then where are we? Oh yes, iv played about 4 tournies in the last 3 weeks, sick volume aye?? Been a bit of a problem with the stable over the past couple of weeks which has prevented us all from grinding. Don't really want to go into the specifics, but i think we are just about sorted now and we're all about ready to go again. We had a bit of a stable meeting with our two backers over dinner (well, we went to nando's at 7.30 and cheeky duck at midnight with about 6 pints inbetween) and we went over a few things to do with the stable. It's the first time Jerry and Wrighty (our backers) have really staked people in great depth, certainly not to the extent where probably $15k plus of their money is spread out through our accounts. So i guess there's always going to be a bit of uncertainty when we are still pretty young in the staking process. They are approaching the staking deal for us as quite a long term thing, and want us to get our rolls up north of $20k and be able to get us playing mid-high stakes MTT's and crushing them like they do. Obviously its a bloody long process if your as lazy as i am, but its something quite exciting to think/dream about. This is another thing that should inspire me to grind, will probably work [ ] Oh yer, and the fact that i wouldnt mind a few quid right about now.
In other news, i mentioned a while ago that we, The Walkers Sensensations, had an interview to go on the BBC t.v show Eggheads. We didnt hear anything back for a while, and after a couple of weeks we had pretty much given up hope of getting on the show. Until out of the blue we recieved a phone call from one of the lasses at the show saying we were on the shortlist, and that there is a fairly decent chance we'll get to test our brains against the best!! So thats pretty exciting, quietly confident of victory of course, but why wouldnt I be when you look at the calibur and shear class running through our team. In some more other news, sadly, Mark "spoona" Brewis has left his position as card room manager of circus in pursuit of a "proper carear". Why he wouldnt want to spend his life talking to Flett, Rogertard and I-Call i have no idea but hey-ho. Best of luck to him, he will be massivly missed as a boss and as a friend. And i will massivly miss his beard too. Also, speaking of hair, iv decided to shave my hair quite short, this is definatly to do with fashion, and nothing to do with the fact i cant be arsed to go to the barbers below my flat and let them do it. Also, with the money saved, i can buy a subway.

October 6th 2011
Been around a month since i last updated the blog, been quite an eventful month which included me nearly losing a testical, but more on that later.
The last couple of weeks iv actually started to put in a few sessions, and iv played pretty much on every one of my days off. And iv actualy been putting in quite long sessions which has encouraged me to play just MTT's. When i used to grind MTT's i was obsessed with volume, and at the start of a session i would register for the first 10 tourney's i could find and multi table like a mad man. Nowadays i think a better strategy is to concentrate on quality, with the games being a lot harder these days i find i really need to just concentrate on the games more to try and exploit people. And if you search the best players these days, hitthehole, jackellwood, moorman1, andy mfkn carlin, they only seem to grind 4 tables at once. So iv started doing this recently, i will register for four tourneys and if/when i bust one, il load up another. Its actually a lot of fun being able to get in some more tricky spots, and actually being able to think about hands, rather than just playing like a robot.
Iv started to have a little success too and managed to get my 2k starting bankroll up 3.7k,largely thanks to a 2nd place finish in a 3$ freeze out for 1.2k. I made 2 others finals last month, a 6th in a big ante's tourney and a 7th in the 5r (went from chip leader with 7 left to out in 7th due to some excellent spazzing out!) After saying earlier in the blog i was having trouble accumalating chips due to everybody playing so good, well the last month has been completely different, iv been running up some huge stacks in tourneys. Granted, iv spewed them all off, but hey-ho, thats the most fun part of the game!! Our backer/stable boss rewards the months highest profit earner a seat into the sunday millions. And last month i was lucky enough to be this person, largely due to the fact andy carlin didnt grind much, otherwise he definatly would have won it. So il be grinding the sunday million sometime soon, hopefully il never have to play poker again after that :-)
In my last blog entry i said me and FarmerDave were going down to leeds to see some friends for a night out. Not sure if this trip could have went any worse!! I woke up at around midday with a slight pain in my stomach, but considering i more than likely had a curry the night before, this wasnt much to worry about. It wasnt until i started the drive at around 2pm that this pain got worse, and became very close to unbareable. We stopped off at the first 5 service stations on the journey so i could have a walk around and try and shift the pain but nope, it wouldnt go. I actually ended throwing up everything inside of me in some disgusting toilet somewhere near Scotch Corner. The pain had actually started to move down my body, and felt like it was coming out of my right testical. As you can imagine my head was full of thoughts, testicular cancer, aids, diabetes, and how on earth was i going to pull in leeds with a bollock missing (no change there though to be honest). So Dave was trying to keep me talking as i started panicking, (Dave actually had to take over driving too due to the pain) and we made our way straight to St James' hospital in Leeds. I kind of waddle over to the desk, two pretty nice young girls to my left, and a group of pretty rough looking Chavs standing behind me. "whats the problem Sir?" ask's the nurse. Marvelous. Iv never heard sniggering like it. Anyway, i do some blood tests/urine sample and the doctor tells me iv got a water infection, weight of my mind, i get to keep both testicals!! He gives me some painkillers and anti-biotics,which actually started to work quickly and the pain went down a bit. We got to the hospital at 4.15 and didnt get out into the Leeds till about 11pm. Obviously i shouldnt have went out with my problem/being full of drugs but i needed a few pints/jaegerbombs/sambuca's/cocktails after the few hours id had! Anyway, the infection cleared up after a few days and im back to full health (as close as my lazy arse can be anyway) and i still have both bollocks intact. I now appreciate my testicals.
