Bit Slow but Building Up



Funny sort of week really with the feeling of not that much happening. Played the usual Poker in the Pub stuff at the Felly on Tuesday which was good crack as normal. Made it 8 from 8 final tables and picked up sizeable points with a 2nd place finish although feel I should of won but eventually a couple of bad sucks outs were too much to make up but quite happy. Used to be once a fortnight there as we played in our league one week and the following week was just a get together for a few who wanted the weekly game. Now theve entered the Poker in the Pub League so its a weekly event for points towards that and the fortnightly in house league still runs seperately. Anyone wanting a live game but not yet confident enough to take the plunge to play a casino tournament should definately consider this because its played in a very friendly environment within an understanding rules format and some great people are involved to a decent standard. Alot are now playing in the casino tournies in town due to this. Tuesdays 7.30 Fellsider Pub on Fellside Road!
Online I have been giving the STGs & mtts a break for awhile and playing cash on the micro stakes tables to hopefully improve this side to my game. Aim is to slowly step to higher levels based on a gradual bankroll improvement in relation to buy ins as well described and explained in a friends previous posts on his blog. My respect for his applications hopefully pays off for me, just gotta try n match his skills.
Thursday played for AWOP forum in the 4 way forum rumble challenge and as usual great crack and value entertainment was had. Awful result last week left a big uphill struggle to pull it back and big points difference to make up.BUT make it up AWOP did and with 4 players left we still had 3 there. When down to 3 we need to take 1st & 2nd to win outright but as it finished with a 1st n 3rd the 4 week rumble ended in an amazing tie and as such a single head to head game between the two tieing forums looks like happening next Thursday to decide the outright winners. AWOP v Punters Lounge Thurday night at 8.30
Tomorrow Im at the Newcastle Grosvenor for their 3 monthly 2 day £200 Freeze Out thats been brought forward due to the clash of dates it originally had with the Virgin Festival thats being held at Aspers on 12th & 13th April.
News on launch of Newcastle Forum is just round the corner with final finishing touches just being made now. Watch this space!

Good luck with the cash building, it certainly can be done with the right skills and important bankroll management.

Also good luck at the Grov tourny, would have liked to play this myself but have an engagement Sat night and WSOP freeroll on Sunday. Might well pop in on Saturday for some boozed up 1/2 donking! Bugger maybe I shouldn't have posted this! :-)
