Poker Quiet Times

Forgive me readers for I have neglected. It has been a fortnight since my last post.

And it has all been due to a frightening amount of work I've had on for the past month or so which I've now happily ploughed my way through the majority of in time to start focusing on poker I have scheduled for April and May.

I'll play a few games online this week and get through a few more chapters of Harrington Vol I hoping I can go into the APAT Regional with confidence. Taking down my 2nd BritBlogger last night didn't do me any harm. In a tourney when showing 72 is the done thing (I love it although I don't do it) I was bullied off two pots last night only to be shown 'The Hammer'. How fitting it was then when on the BB on last hand I'm dealt 72 and raised only 2xBB. I call and the board comes 972. I sneakily check it over and with AK, Cell 1919 pushes. He too is mildly amused when the cards are turned.

Still on RaiseTheRiver Tourneys, I had qualified to play in the SuperLeague to determine the Player Of The Year 2008. Last night, in the first of the qualifiers, I managed 3rd. MikeSaban was a worthy winner not least for having beaten Cloud who until then had been invincible heads up.

This weekend the APAT Regional Qualifiers are played across the UK with players shooting for a seat at the Scottish National held in my 'home casino' the Gala Maybury in Edinburgh. I'll be playing the Regional in Edinburgh and look forward to welcoming new and known faces (I was going to say 'old' but some may take exception ;) ).

I'll let y'all know how it goes. Good luck at the tables!
