2 Near Misses and a Winner !!
Played in 3 MTTs and 1 Qualifier last night :- 11.00pm $5K GTD, 11.00pm $2.5K Sat, 00.30am $1K GTD and 1.14am £5 HH all on crypto.
Out of the Sat when gambling early doors to try and get a nice early position. Played a few hands in the 5K and got shortstacked, pushed for final 600 when miles behind and that was that :(
Had a great start in the 1K GTD and doubled up early when hitting a set on the flop, a flush came soon after and was up to 6k. Didn't play many hands for a while so i decided to give the HH a go.
Playing both side by side and watching the cricket Eng v NZ one dayer.
HH i started slowly hardly playing a hand, when a shorty pushed for 450, i had 78s so called, another caller and flop came down 6k9, open ended i check other guy checks. Turn a 5 (happy days) i push for remaining 800 and he calls (has the K), river blank so i nearly triple up and claim my first Head :)
After comfortably staying in the top ten in the 1K we reach the money (top 20) and players start to gamble. FT soon made i have average stack. HH was hotting up (top 10 in the money) and i had a decent stack so i could take a few gambles. FT made and up to 3 heads. Two FTs on the go at once a rarity for me (i know how gats feels now ;) )
Made a few moves in the 1K early on the FT (got some nice cards) and we were soon down to the last 5. HH was mad as usually loads of All Ins being called all over the place.
Last 4 of HH and i KO the guy with the most money (11 heads) :)
Now 3 handed at both tables, needed just a bit of luck to take one down.
1K me SB with A2s push against chip leader who insta calls with KK :( no help and thats me gone in 3rd for $133.
HH takes a while longer and i take out small stack when flopping 2 pair.
HU doesn't take long he has 20k more than me, i raise preflop with an A he calls, K high flop i push he calls with K3, 3 on the turn, A on the river too late his 2 pair wins, 6 Heads and 2nd place for £74. Not a bad nights work ;) off to bed at 4am.
Up early for Hall Green Bags card feeling knackered.
Three runners today all got chances but nothing concrete.
Our first runner Lucy (2/6) misses the trouble and finds herself in front at halfway before powering home to WIN A5@7/2 in a respectable time on bad going :)
Belle (0/8) runs well in A7 finishing a close up 3rd, her turn can't be too far away.
Teddy (1/7) from Trap 6 in A2 (should be a middle runner imo) gets into trouble at the first bend before running on to finish 4th beaten by 2 lengths.

Weekly Review
Lets start from were we left last time with Superbowl XLII.
A great performance from Eli and co gave the NY Giants another Superbowl success.
It was widely thought it would be a stroll for the New England Patriots in their quest to be undefeated, but the Giants D had other ideas.
Congrats to the Giants on their well deserved victory and who will ever forget that Manning to Tyree play in that last TD drive. , truly amazing !!!!!!
Capello had his first game in charge of the England footy team and it was a winning start with a 2-1 victory over Switzerland.
Time will tell if he is going to succeed where many have failed recently but i reckon we have the man to do it. His decisions so far tells us he is his own man and will do things his way. GL Fabio.
Onto the Dogs and a pleasing week,
Tues, Lulu (0/1) had her first race for us and finished a good 3rd.
Fivo trialled before racing and graded back on :)
Wed, Lucy (1/3) came 3rd in A4 after going up 2 grades for winning last time !!
Fri, was busy 4 with runners.
Gemma (0/5) 5th in A8, came off limping and may be retired
Belle (0/6) finished 3rd not beaten too far A7
Marvin (1/7) finally WON in A5@3/1 :)
Lulu (1/2) done the business on only her second run A6@2/1 to give us a rare double on the night :D
Sat, Lucy (1/4) 3rd in a decent A5
Tom also trialled before racing and hopefully he will have his first race for us at the weekend.
I have changed his name to Benlass Patriot now after the NGRC granted us the Prefix 'BENLASS'.
Most of our future purchases will run as Benlass _____ (gonna work through the NFL teams)

Superbowl XLII, Wembley + Lucy
Tonight is Superbowl XLII in Arizona where the Unbeaten New England Patriots take on the New York Giants. History could well be in the making for the Pats as no team has ever gone 19-0 in a single season.
After watching the Giants beat my Miami Dolphins at Wembley in October i was convinced they were not a Superbowl contender but Eli and co have proved many people wrong including myself. Eli is trying to emulate big brother Peyton in winning a Superbowl Ring after he took the Colts to win in Miami last year (How proud must Dad Archie be ;)
I personally feel the Pats will be too strong through the air and Brady will find his receivers all to often.
For the improving Giants to win i feel Brandon Jacobs will have to have a BIG game, carrying the ball over 20 times during the match and keep pounding away at the Pats D to set up the pass for Eli and in particular Plexico Burress who is their Big time Receiver.
The Pats however have looked in a different League to all this season dominating most matches with ease (Baltimore and Indy asides)
The pick up of Moss and Welker pre-season was massive and Brady has had fun all season throwing to those most gifted receivers which culminated in Brady breaking the most TD passes record for a single season.
In short the spread of 12-13 points on the Hcap for the Pats is big enough for any game never mind a Superbowl to cover as anything can happen in a one off matchup so i will be not playing on that line. In all of the Pats Superbowl wins they have won each of those games by 3 points !!!!
I am sure the Pats will take any victory so they can have their perfect season and join the 1972 Dolphins as Undefeated (Miami 17-0, only 14 regular season games)
My picks for tonight are :-
First TD - W.Welker (Pats) + P.Burress (NY) Got to have one from each team ;)
First Time Out - NY Giants , in my eyes Bet of the match
Fieldgoal missed - Yes , Tynes will see to that
HT/FT - NE Pats/NE Pats (4/7 ish on Bfair)
GL on your picks whatever they are :)
During the run up to Superbowl XLII it has been announced that Wembley will stage another Regular Season Game with the New Orleans Saints 'Hosting' the San Diego Chargers on Sunday 26th October.
It promises to be a great Game with some of the NFLs Top players in action.
Tickets go on sale in May and application already sent ;)
We have had a good start to the month at HGreen.
Lucy (1/2) Won an A6@9/4 on only her second start :D
Belle (0/5) ran better when finishing 3rd
Marvin (0/6) a fast finishing 2nd in A5 on Saturday.
