Nearly there

Just finished 3rd in the GUKPT satellite on blue square, 2 seats and $1100 for third.
Thought it was about time to get back on the satellite trail and came very close.
A couple of double ups after they add on break and I got through to the final table relatively untroubled. Then picked off a couple of bluffs to become chip leader with 3 to go.
My demise came up through this hand:

difficult to get away from that one I suppose.

Never mind, another little boost to the bankroll, and more importantly it is on Bluesq so I can play a few more satellites for Blackpool so here's hoping.

In the beginning...

So, I've decided to start my own blog, inspired by a few blogs I've been reading today including The Hit Squad, Strummer9 and Simon "Aces" Trumper.

I'm going to try to be consistent and write this blog after each live game I play and maybe if I play any significant on-line tournaments.

I usually play once a week or so, mainly in Liverpool and the surrounding area.

Tomorrow I'm playing in the GUKPT main event in Blackpool. Entry is £1000 with a top prize likely to be in excess of £100,000. The final table will be shown on Channel 4 later this month.

I won my entry on Bluesquare and this is the GUKPT 4th event I've played this year.

There are a few friends I normally play with playing tomorrow so good luck to Charlie Denton and Andy Booth too.
