Too much drinking not enough poker.

As far as tournaments go I played an amazing two tournaments last week, really bad volume wise and considering I just started a blog on this shit, I'm not gonna lie it doesn't look great, oh well.

Last Monday was the €25 Freeze in D1, never got a thing going past level 1 and eventually shipped my 11bb stack into two limpers fully expecting two folds, I had the monstrous 6s3s got called by both. One with 8h8d and the other with 9x9x. I turned a flush draw but alas 6 high was no good for the pot.

Thursday Jackpot was one of them horrible nights where every hand was a horrible spot, bottom two v flush, straight v straight flush, kk v aa I could go on. I eventually bust aj v 22 for an above average stack, quite an achievement considering the bullshit I had to put up with.

This was a week of just doing small amounts of nothing that got in the way of tournaments but the highlight of the week had to be the 12 pubs of Xmas on Saturday night, or in our case 7 pubs, burger king, then head back to one of the lads houses. Fun times altogether and I'm pretty sure we're gonna do it again, hopefully properly this time. Its easy to forget the banter to be had in Dublin pubs as opposed to the usual get sloshed then go to a nightclub. Could be a turning point.

As far as poker is concerned I'll be on the usual grind this week looking to play a lot but with it being Christmas shit just seems to pop up everywhere. I will be playing online on Sunday in the MiniFTOPS Main Event over on FTP. $75 Buy-in with a $1,000,000 gtd prize pool, beyond sickness.

I think thats all for the moment, no big buy ins on the agenda until maybe Clonmel in February but thats about it as far as i know, I'm usually late to the game on these things so never know.

I think it was Phil Galfond who talks about blogging being bad luck so I'm 0/2 so far, this could be a curse. On a completely separate issue I just heard FTP Pros wont be on the next season on High Stakes Poker because its now sponsored by Pokerstars, so we will no longer be able to see Ivey do this to people.
