Thank you for participating.

just got back and only 14 players this time
think only 1 player went out before the 1st break,all very tight with most raises being folded,,was sitting in seat 5 with my mate ben in seat 3 and mcgin(another online colleague) in seat 6..
1st hand after the break i raise with a/q and mcgin is all in as he is fairly short stacked,,he turns over k/k ,flop doesnt help but turn gives me the ace ,sorry mate,,,
then fairly quickly we hit final table.....i am bb with j8 and manage to see the flop with 2 other players,board shows j/6/7 and i raise, caller folds and sb raises all in with a call for me of a couple of hundred and he turns over j6 turn is a 5 and i am praying for 4 or 9 but another 7 hits on flop.....
this leaves me with about 1800 chips with blinds now 400/800,
couple of hands later i have pocket 7`s and go all in ,,bb calls with k/10,,
flop is 8/8/8 .turn k and river doesnt help,,out in 7th...
was really pleased with my game today,made some good judgement raises and folds...

no poker tonight,it is my wifes works xmas dinner,so off to the chinese restuarant and the back to her bosses house for a few rums,,tomorrow off the grosvenor in brighton for the APAT regional qualifier,this is also a sponsored game for me for POKERUTD...
