VICTORY IN THE BLOGGERMENT!!!
Well blow me if Paddy's victory at the Open didn't translate into a follow up triumph in the bloggerment!
I trundled along early on getting nowhere slowly, until shortly after the first break. "Bluescouse" (who gave me a good pasting a few weeks back) made a big reraise just in front of me. I went all in with my pair of 10's and took down his 8's.
That effectively turned round the whole thing for me. I was able to do some stealing thereafter and got through to the bubble, which proved to be a very extended experience - particularly since I was dying for a pee at the time :-)
Anyway, I hung on in there with fortunes fluctuating back and forth and eventually Mike Saban was the man to suffer and it came down to a three way between "Hammerheid", "Spid" and myself. This too proved to be a long drawn out battle with many more fluctuations, but when I managed to take "Hammer" down, I ended up with a huge chip advantage against "Spid" and the rest was inevitable.
I have to say it would have been great fun even if I hadn't won, but winning made it all the better!

bet you love NL now eh? congratulations!
Thanks guys.
I must say I am enjoying playing No Limit and tournaments a lot more than grinding out the money at Limit. If I got a bad run at Limit (as you have to bear with from time to time) it would really cheese me off.
I seem to have worked out a working game for low level No Limit and much to my surprise my tournament play has improved immeasurably mainly as a result of playing the bloggerment. I have learned a lot about the different techniques for tourneys by watching the other players.
I came third in a 110 player tourney on Stars last night and was actually chip leader going into the last 3 - took me to 12.30 though - it's just as well I'm off work at the moment!
great to hear Krons!
Keep up the good work. WSOP next year? ;o)
