Back but not all there at mo

Back but not all there at mo

Long haul back from the hols and what a difference. From Blue skys and sunshine of the caribbean to be met by -5 degrees on a Black Tuesday morning in Manchester- which one would you prefer?

Been doing Xmas & New year holidays now as our main holiday for 13 years as Im not a Xmas type of person and also its ideal when our business closes down because so do most of our customers and also have hardly any hassle when I get back cos everyone else has been closed as well. The 2 weeks become a basic lazy beach/pool thing which I love.

Bumpy flight but drive back from Manc is trouble free and we are back in good old Newcastle just after dinner time. Quick check of post and then into office and 3 hours later and up to date with both post and e mails I feel I havnt even been away.

Its 1st Tuesday of the month so into Circus for their £500 added game and once again over 100 runners shuffle up and deal for the £6000 pot with alot of new faces around the busy cardroom. Theyve even got tables in the majong room- whats the world coming to!!!
Considering I had been on go for over 18 hours without any sleep I felt great although brain ceasure did kick in later on.
Nice table and nice steady stack increase especially a virtual double up when holding 85 from BB on a 225 flop then 2 turn and 7 river guy trys to take pot with decent river bet holding 33 and my call takes down tasty pot to leave me well placed at break.
KK gets well paid before table break up gets me seated on very noisy table with Jimmy Chipmunk and Card Guard Kid to name but 2. Got my stack to very healthy position until making really bad read and mistake when limping in with Ace 10 in mid position to an Ace flop. End up losing big chunk of chips to guy who had hit a set of 6 which make quads after totally mis reading what he had and what he thought I had. Another total mis read and total lack of concentration a few laps later and Im on my way home for some much needed sleep when looking down at 99 in BB I decide to shove against initial raiser whos only sitting with AA and its goodnight to donkey head me and au revoir to a very good table. Oh well got what I deserved and totally blew a very good chance to pick up decent cash in 1st game of the year.
