Aye,i'm just going to reg now.
gl and see you at a table maybe.
Maybe - I might not talk much - I'm still in that Omaha game. What's your name on PP again?
QQ hand 1 - Everyone folded my raise.
------------ I went out in the Omaha game in 8th.. Trying to defend my BB and chasing a flush. I should have folded as it cost me a place on the final table and at least $9.00. Nice to cash though.

I couldn't make any games yesterday but have a freeish day today so intend using some of my lovely tickets earned from the social media freerolls to play in a few games. Quite looking forward to it really. Good luck to you all who play at the Pokerfest.

Always nice to cash in any tournament but to get so close to the final table and not reach it always feels like a kick in the stomach. But if you look back you soon realise how well you done to get that far, so well done again

------------ A reminder to all, if playing these games, make sure you do some missions (the mtt ones are easy). You need to activate em but they give free $T for doing nothing extra

I'm through 2 rounds of the HU one, #7... it was that that distracted me.. I made a silly all in call as I thought i was worse short stacked that I was.... the realised that the bubble had come round already.
I got 3 bounties though - so could have been worse.

there is a lot of waiting around for other to finish.. I'm tempted to start up an Omaha game on the side.... #8 is in 2 or 3 hours might play that if I am out of these 2 comps.
Bit of a Marathon!
------------ Listening to the Young Jazz Musician of the Year on I-Player whilst playing...
------------ Ok - went out in the top 8. My aces got beat by a flush on the river.
It is getting late - but there is one more bounty game to go - starts in about 20 mins.

An interesting day at the Pokerfest tables by the sound of it. Having said I was free all day, I turned out not to be, i did get some poker in on stars, and had intended to play that $2 6max game but missed it. Looking forward to hitting the fest at some stage today and seeing you all there.
Went out on the bubble - Another comp started and I wasn't paying attention. F%$£!!
