Good Sunday but still no Win

Had a great night today on the tables but could have been better !!!!!
Started off by entering a couple of Sats, first one to the $11k on Betfair.
8 places up for grabs but i bubble in 9th, still $55 back for that position - not the end of the world.
Other Sat entered was for Eyes Wide Shut and qualified fairly comfortably.
Played 8 other MTTs and ran well in most of them.
Managed 2 FTs but frustratingly finished Second in both of them having had the chip lead at some stage of both tourneys :(
Made the money also on crypto in the $2000 GTD after finishing 19th for a little profit. Had a flying start before being card dead for a long time and got caught trying to nick a few pots.

Overall very pleased with my game at the mo. Still no win yet this month but i think 12 FTs now(already above target) and i have been playing slightly less.
With a little luck i am sure the win is not too far away ;)

Down at Hall Green Russ won on Friday BAGS to take his record to 7/29 for us :)
Have a decent chance with one on tuesday, will put it on the forum ;)

Westmead Hawk continued his comeback on Saturday night at Wimbledon, he just managed to get up in the shadows of the post to beat Pagoda Tabert.
I love the 'Hawk' but surely he can't win this years Derby and i would love connections(if they keep him in training) to just aim him at the top Staying Races, but unfortunately i don't think that will happen .

Thanks for popping by and Good Luck to you all

NFL at The New Wembley

The NFL arrives on our shores in October when London will host a regular season game between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants.
With the Dolphins being my team (have been a fan since the mid-eighties boom when C4 first starting showing live games) i was eager to get tickets for the big game.
They went on sale today and yes i was lucky enough to purchase 2 tickets for me and my son Simon.
Having been over to the States to watch Miami play at Dolphin Stadium three times it will be interesting to see what sort of atmosphere of the day will be. The yanks make a whole day of it over there with Tailgate partys going on from way before game time right up till Kick Off.
Anyways with tickets now secured i can't wait until 5.00pm October 28th :)

On the Poker front that elusive first win of the month still awaits but i have had a couple of decent results in the bigger Buy In tourneys most notably when finishing 3rd in the NTX £2000 Special on crypto Monday night :) , busy at work next couple of days so probably not back on the multis till late Saturday night.

In the meantime Good Luck all and as ever thanks for reading

Final Tables Yet Still Frustrating !!!!

With 7 FTs already in May, no wins, a 2nd being the best it looks as though its been a good month so far. Frustrating it has been (showing a loss), many Sats to bigger tournys and the odd straight Buy In. Once in can't seem to do anything right either picking wrong moments to steal, overplaying middle PPs or just simply being outdrawn.
On the bright side those 7 FTs keep me feeling fairly confident.
One thing i must do is to keep off the Omaha Cash tables !!!!!!!

The Premiership came to its conclusion today, With UTD wrapping up the title last week it was the fight for survival that most people took interest in.
West Ham at Old Trafford and Sheff Utd hosting Wigan for that final relegation spot.
The Hammers and Tevez pulled off an unlikely win and Wigan took the points at Bramhall Lane, ironically old boy Unsworth's Penalty winning the game therefore sending Sheff Utd down.
I have nothing against Sheffield United but Mr Warnocks none stop moaning about officials, teams resting players and the West Ham affair (which will probably run and run) i have one thing to say -
Your team and squad were simply not good enough, a few weeks back you were almost safe but maybe complacency set in and you were punished. rant over :)

Archie is going the right way and he landed his second race for us on the Bags on Wednesday so this Pup will be in A6 action some time this week.
Going to be at Hall Green a lot in the near future as all of the new dogs have trialled in now.
GL to them all :)

Thanks for taking the time out to look me up and Best Of Luck to you all

April Results

A very pleasing month with my target of 2 wins and 15 FTs reached with a day to spare :)
The end total was 4 wins ,15 FTs and throw in a Live 3 way chop on my only visit to the casino :)
With work commitments i shall lower my expectations for May with say again 2 Wins and 10 FTs. Hopefully 1 of those wins could be at a slightly higher level than normal ;)

On to the dogs now and in April we had 3 wins and a lot of near misses. A couple of our bitches came into season and the new dogs have virtually trialled in.
Indeed Fivo has his first race for us tonight ( i love it when the new ones have their first races, exciting times)

House hunting better be over !!!!!!
After putting in 2 offers on houses and having those accepted, the missus then decides she no longer wants to move there for various reasons ( you know what women are like)
So a third offer went in on another and as yet this is the one we shall be moving into in the near future.

On a Final note i do not usually bring Football on here but i feel i must give credit to my team Aston Villa who at the beginning of the month looked destined for a relegation battle.
Since we played Everton at home on the Monday night and we were dreadful first half, lucky that we went in only 1-0 down. Second half i thought we played really well and got a much deserved goal to share the points.
Unbeaten since then and three consecutive away wins has moved us into mid table safety.
You never no but if Randy throws some money at us during the summer and Martin spends it wisely we may even challenge for a European place next season (Did i really just type that) !!!!!
Randy got a good deal at the recent NFL draft for the Browns so heres hoping :)

Onto May and Very Best Of Luck To All Readers
see you at the tables and on the forum
