I suppose I'd best put in a wee update, even though there's not been a lot of poker played in the last week.
It was Saturday afternoon before I got to play any poker at all due to general busyness and even then I was just playing 70FPP sit'n'go satellites to the PokerStar's fairly new Sunday Hundred Grand tournie. These satellites are extremely frustrating for me. The standard of play is shocking so I'd expect that I win at least one. But no, I've played twenty or so and only got to the heads up stage twice. And in those two where I got to headsup I played the HU bit awfully. I was playing far too tight with the blinds really biting into my stack. I'll give it another try later in the week.
The only other poker I played was the Sunday night BritBloggerment in which I finished 3rd out of 39 (a new record for the BritBloggerment) banking $31.......which was nice. The deck was hitting me in the face early on and I managed to build a good lead. Only one major suckout when I rivered a boat. When we got to the final table, I went completely card dead and situation dead as everyone starting to raise up the action. Mikesaban deserves a mention here for his superb shortstack play to make it into the money. I busted out when I pushed with the mighty powerhouse hand that is 74o and ran into Queens :-).
