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.
Thanks for reading,
