Iceland and Injustices

Just returned back to sheffield after a couple of days in iceland. Caz (theclaimer) Jon (jdhjon) and I decided to book a break to see what iceland is like and to experience the blue lagoon (a geothermal spa which is like a big natural jacuzzi) it was very relaxing and a great laugh.

We arrived at the airport at around 2:00pm, hired a 4x4 nipped to the blue lagoon for a few hours and then off to thr hotel centrum.

At about 10:30pm we were off on the town. We had been warned that the ale was a bit pricey however £150 for a bottle of vodka was taking the piss a little.

The 1st bar we found was a very small but quality rap bar, just playing joints from the 93-97 era, including mobb deep, biggie smalls, method man etc... then we ended the night well morning at about 6:00am in Pravda a nice club with 3 floors.

Last Thursday Saw the arrival of me and caz at grey mare lane nick in manchester where we were told we have a court date this wednesday. The whole case is absolute lunacy. I haven't bothered to get a soliciter and if they think im turning up in a whisle and flute they can bollox.

Will probably end up with a £50 fine.

The evening after the trip to manchester i decided to go play the £300+25 freezout at sheffield, because due to the police station visit i was unable to attend the GUKPT event in walsall.

When i arrived at naps for the comp i realised that most of the field were local and fancied my chances. I won a few micro pots early and then went card dead on a table full of limpers and very loose players, i decided to bide my time and was down to 2k in chips on level 100/200.

I am let in cheaply on the BB with K7d and see a KJ8 2 hearts flop, and lead for 900 knowing i am commited when a guy pushes himself. I call and see his JTh and my hand holds.

From then on i play very well and manage through KKvQQ and TTv 99 to win 2 big pots to take me to the 40k chips mark with 18 left. I am moved to table 1 to see a few stacks bigger than mine and generally more chips than the table i had just left. Right rick i thought, you aint gonna get away with raising 1/2 hands and out right thievery. How wrong i was, when the table was down to 7 players 14 left overall and 9 getting paid, i was indeed raising a lot and meeting very little resistance, i felt very good and very confident of taking home the 7k first prize even with 14 left.

Once again i made my standard raise to 4500 blinds 800/1600 and ronnie a local player who won a £300 f/o in blackpool i played in makes it 15k more, i had A4os and showed the ace as to say "i have at least something when i raise", he showed AJ hmmm i thought. I know he is a loose player and have a feeling he is in the process of changing gears. I was conscious that the A4 raise i used my left hand for whereas the previous ones i used my right, so the very next hand when i picked up AA for the 1st time in the tournament i used my left again as i made it to 4500 with approx 36,000 left this time ronnie asked how much i had, and to feign weakness asked the dealer to count, as he was counting ronnie answered my prayers my moving all in for 40k i call in a flash and ronnie recklessley turns over AK when the flop came KK7 i wasn't too upset or agreived, i realised how much i had owned that table and that if i won that pot there would be no customary deals and i would play out the victory. However i was out and once again with 14 left i had to curse my luck in a pot with would have put me big chip leader. (in bolton KKv KQ) with 12 left for a 12k 1st prize)

This week im gonna try to overhaul portfolio in our little challenge. He's about 3k infront due to the fact he doesn't have much of a social life however im gonna win one this week to 'stick it up him' and send his $100 into a worthwhile cause.

Fkin long post this innit?? ciao 4 now
