WOW - what an event - a wedding and weekend that i will never forget.........

We arrived in Sweden on Friday 6th - Mr V's 1st flight and he thoroughly enjoyed it. We took the coach from Malmo Airport to Copenhagen Central and walked the short distance to the Absalon Hotel, where we met up with Gazza n Nikki and later on with the PL crew in the Irish Rover Pub which turned into a night of drink, chat, drink, food, drink, chat and no hangover!

The day after we all jumped onto the coaches that took us to the 2nd hotel and the Castle (which is haunted). We all had a little explore and then went to get changed and ready for the wedding. The ceremony took place on the terrace of the castle gardens infront of a fountain that overlooked the grounds and a lake.

We then had a short get together whilst the photo's were taken and then into the diningroom for a 6 hour plus dinner!!!!

YES I DID SAY 6 HOURS !!!!!!!!!!!!

That was fantastic and we all got a little tipsy from all of the wine that we drank during the meal and between courses and throughout the toasts and speeches. The Danish customs were great and something that would be a pleasure to adopt for English weddings.

After the meal we had a huge firework display and then cut the cake, from there the fun started as the band was already set up and ready to PARTY!!!!!! We all had plenty to drink and danced the night away until 4am .

Congratulations Paul and Pernille - may you both have a long and happy life together..... Oh and BRING ON THE PL JNRS !!!!

Live Poker - Sunday 11th March

2007-03-13T12:05:00.000Z

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Went to the local Circus Casino in Stoke to play in the £20 + £5 scalp double chance freezeout.

There were 5 Plers there Myself and Mr V, DaftPegasus, Jones12345... and Robilar.

I had a disastrous tourney where I won 1 hand throughout and finished approx 29th out of 54 , but the others were still in and we managed to have 2 PLers on the final table with Daftpegasus finishing 6th in the money and Mr V in 3rd- wahooooooooo.

As I went out so early I signed up with Jones12345 for the evening £20 turbo and finished 2nd.

It turned out to be quite a profitable night for us.

Fun With Friends

2006-12-13T18:39:00.000Z

I had a great time out with very good friends on Sunday.

We played some poker, had a bite to eat and there was plenty of booze flowing.

I even managed to win an STT - against a right shark! :p

Nice to catch up before Christmas thanks for being there.

I HAVE LEGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-12-06T00:09:00.000Z

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can walk!

After my operation on my right hip - I can now walk and run wihout any pain. (Admittedly I am still on the nerve blocking and anti-inflammitory drugs).

I should have been out of hospital the day after my op -Friday, but could not put any weight on my foot let alone through my leg or hip. I ended up staying in until the Monday, when the physio made sure that I could get up and down the stairs with a crutch.

Coming on with leaps and bounds literally and fingers crossed will continue to do so in the future with =out any medication.

Thanks to all of my friends at Punters Lounge for your flowers (Paul and soon to be Pene Ross), cards, and messages of love and support.

A BIG THANK YOU TO MY HUSBAND FOR ALL OF THE RUNNING AROUND, ALL THE MILES TRAVELLED TO VISIT, THE SUPPORT, THE SHOULDER TO CRY ON (and my choccies). XXXXXX

Update

2006-12-06T00:07:00.000Z

Well the STTs are'nt going too badly - in profit (just) each day.

I have the odd day where I will play 3 games in a row and come 3rd 2nd and 1st - nice profit. Then the next day i'll play 3 and place in 1 if i'm lucky. :0(

My Venture into STT's

2006-10-26T12:23:00.000Z

I have never been any good at playing STTs.

My last attempts lost me a quarter of my bankroll that I had to win back via the cash tables.

I decided at the weekend that I would try again as they have the $3+30c tables on Sporting Odds

On the 21st I played 3 5 seater tables - and was $5.40 down. I switched to 10 seater tables on the 22nd and played 3 games and was now back to being 30c down.

Yesterday I played 4 10 seater tables and am $25.50 up.

I think that I'll stick to the 10 seaters as out of the 7 10 seaters that I have played I didn't place in only 1 of them - weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee here I go.

Dream Poker $15000 Freeroll

2006-10-04T12:02:00.000Z

Well what a tourney this turned out to be, we had been playing for 2 hours when the tourney was stopped so that Prima could reset the tourneys that were running. We were kept waiting for just over an hour when the tourney re-started at Level 1 !!

I finished 34th in this (at 0210 ffs) for what I thought was $108 - I checked my dreampoker account to find that i hadn't been paid the $108 that was shown in the lobby.

I had been paid $72 as per the table below as I fell into category 2. AAAARRGGHHH!!!

$15,000 is being paid out into 3 categories:

1. Registered players (No deposit required) = $5,000
2. Deposited players (If you have made a deposit) = $10,000
3. Anyone with 10 DreamPoints (Deposited and accumulated 10 DreamPoints between 13th September until the tournament starts at 13:00 EST) = $15,000

Not been around for a While

Sorry for not keeping this updated guys and gals - i'll have to set a little time aside once a week for an update.

Disappointing Losses At Pokerstars

2006-06-28T22:46:00.000Z

Well - I am a little too embarrassed to say where I came in the PokerStars Bloggers Tourney June 18th -

I played well and had the cards to get into the top 10 in the first 5 minutes, then I started to play like a complete muppet (got a little cocky) and went out first out of the PL players in there.

The PokerStars WSOP Freeroll June 27th was a little different:

I nearly went out in the first half-hour going back down to 3,000 chips after climbing to 8,500.

BUT I started to sit tight andy played really TAG, I was still playing at midnight and finally finished 41st out of the 1351 players registered.

I didnt win any cash $ but I'm happy with my performance. I styed up until 0230 cherring on an fellow PLer lou saban who managed to get to the final table and finished 4th for $100.

I Love Mansion Poker !!!!

2006-06-06T19:11:00.003Z

3th June 2006- Mansion Poker $50 added. (1c buy in)

I have had my first MTT win - an actual 1st place for $15.

Now I know that this may not be alot to most of you seasoned pro's but to me that was yet another win on Mansion Poker but another big step along my poker journey.

Another win!

2006-06-03T19:11:00.000Z

Wahoooooo -

Tikays Tournament - Sporting Odds ($10 buy in) a 4th place and a nice win of $195.

I was on the final table with 3 others from Punters Lounge - Penelopeys (10), Paul Ross(9) and Brael(7) . Shook like a cat on a washing machine throughout the FT- hehe.

During this tournament my table for the Mansion Poker $500 added (1c buy in) had started and by the time I had gone out of Tikays I was in the top 20 - already in the money.

I played very tight aggressive and was pleased to reach another final table - finishing 3rd for $58.50 with runadrum (1st) from Punters Lounge.

What surprised me was after the Tikays tournament I shook like a cat on a washing machine throughout the FT again.

A nice nights poker and quite an achievment for me as I do not normally get to the final table in one tournament let alone 2 in a night.

Embarressed or What?

2006-05-31T18:24:00.000Z

Betfair City AM at the City Bunker Golf club London - May 25th

This was to be played better than my 24th place at the Betfair Grand Prix in February.

Sadly this was not the case as I was the first player out.

My first loss was when I made a large raise after hitting a J on the flop to make a pair. I had not realised that Paul Ross had hit 2 pair with J5 on the flop.

I then lost the last of my chips when I had JJ and went all in against Paul Ross' KK.

Embarressed - absolutely.

Virgin Blogger Freeroll

2006-05-13T12:38:00.001Z

WOW- Thank you Virgin!

I cannot believe that after falling to 550 chips after the first half hour that I would survive to reach the Final Table.

I had a good run of cards that took me to chip leader (50K+) with 5 players left - when my KK got beaten by Moface's AQ after I had called his ALL IN (half my stack).

I then had a shocking 45 min without a hand that whittled my chips down to Approx 15K. I went ALL IN with my first decent hand JJ to be called by our now chipleader - Mo's KQ.

I finished 5th for 30,000 V points - WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!

These have now been converted into £300 so that I can participate in the Virgin Poker League for another chance to win a WSOP Seat.

My Next Aim

2006-05-08T13:36:00.000Z

My next aim is to win a seat in the WSOP - Playing live poker in Vegas would be a dream come true. Virgin Poker is running an exclusive tournament the winner receives a seat at the $1500 NLHE on the 25th July at this years WSOP with flights and hotel thrown in.
