Days 74 and 75 : Time marches on and these last two days the totalizer hasn't much. Nor will it the next three.

BLONDE BASH BABY, IN IT TO WIN IT  Cool
 
A tournament with a rich history and a list of winners that reads like a who's who of poker.
Simon 'ACES' Trumper back in January 2006 and eh, that's about it.

I have enormous respect for ACES game. Tightend has him listed as 10/1 a seemingly ridiculous price in a 100+ runner tournament. It's not that far from the truth though, that dude can play. I hope he's not on my table, at the last bash he was able to read me like a book. If I'm fortunate enough to make it to the final table, I feel there might be no avoiding him. 

What I meant to say is that it's a tournament that will have a rich history and a list of winners that will read like a who's who in poker.
I'd love nothing more than to add my humble-bumble name to said list.

Trouble is 100+ players would love the same thing. Never mind all the jokes, the ribbing and the jossling. The fact of the matter is that the BlondeBash II double chance freezeout will have a lot of top quality oppostion in it. Whoever wins it has my undying respect. (I really hope it's self-respect  Cheesy )

Days 74 and 75 Results :
+$238.5 (+$10,771.5 total)
ROI : 8.8% (after 1,874 tournaments played)

My excuse for only playing 6 these last couple of days? Went out to Cincins on Wednesday around 10pm-ish, just to say hello.

The craic was cracking so I stayed till around 5am and had a few beers. Not exactly in a playing frame of mind when I got home if you know what I mean.  Wink

Thursday evening, I was busy too. El blondie asked me to deal as they were stuck and i thought I'd oblige as a favour. I felt I owe him one or two after dikking him about in bob-a-job week. Back from that and played just the six. Was a little too tired, that's why I killed the session prematurely.

Days 76, 77 and 78 : Loads of folk at the bash said how they were fans of the thread and to keep it up. Thanks everyone, I'll try.

I went to bed on Sunday, wimping out of the blonde bash finale on Sunday night at Cincins. It had been a very busy few days and I felt I had nowt left.

Early to bed means early to rise so I woke up still having enough time to sqeeze in a batch during the play zone. With 2,096 tournaments still to play, I'll have to fit in these batches wherever I can.

Days 76, 77 and 78 Results : -$672 (+$10,099.5 total)
ROI : 8.2% (after 1,904 tournaments played)

Looking back though I see that it was after BlondeBash one that I went on a huge downswing.

Wasn't planning on updating until tomorrow, but after a piss-poor batch of 30, I thought I'd come along and state that I really hope this doesn't happen again. Ooo-errrr
