Had some fun in a Bounty Hunter tournament the other night - plenty of scalps and a couple of lucky coups. First, I found my K4 up against KK, and two fours came on the flop! Then I won with KJ against AK.

Tonight in the 5OO I blame my dinnertime beer for the fact I went all in with a straight draw when I knew the short stack probably had a full house. He didn't pass... Later on I pushed with KQ suited; 99 called, K on 4th, 9 on the river... Night night.

I'm going to pop over to Walsall now to see how they're getting on at the GUKPT. The main event starts tomorrow.

17th in the Primo

Been playing rubbish lately but couldn't resist the £15,000 kitty in tonight's £50 Primo. Survived a crazy first hour thanks in part to the lucky break I've been due: I pushed with A8, AK called and an 8 came on the flop. At the break I was in the top 20, but my stack refused to grow and by the end of the second hour I was well into grinding mode.

An example of my recent performance: I managed turn $10 on Ultimate Bet into $50, then managed to turn it into $0! That was all playing Omaha High-Low, a game that's a lot funner than Holdem but requires different hand analysis.
