Good things come to those who...

…have a little moan on their blog, apparently :o) Thanks for the kind comments after my post last week. My attitude was back up in the high 90's by Thursday, thanks to your boosting words and a couple of early nights. So I was playing again by Thursday, won a couple of sit n go's, placed in a couple and busted to bad beats in others but enjoyed them all the same. I won an O8 SNG too which was fun and finished ITM on the Stars $3 rebuy, though not for much profit because of the 20% payout schedule.

Yeah, I played a lot on Thursday night ! I had 4 tables open most of the time, 2 of which were cash and turned a small profit at Stars.

Saturday was a good day watching the boring FA cup final, thankfully the company was good and drinks were flowing. I picked Curlin to win the Preakness too so was chuffed with that, what a close finish though !

Britbloggerments continue to be the highlight of my Sunday and this week was no different. In the past 3 weeks I think I've managed to collect every bounty available and have won two of the 3 tourneys. Therefore I'm now proclaiming myself Tan - "The Bounty Hunter" - Orpheus. When I win the WSOP and get all those sponsorship deals you'll know this is where it all started :o)

Last nights win came thanks to a fair amount of luck and a couple of good bluffs, when I get the tourney HH off of stars I'll post about any major highlights, but for now you'll have to surf the other bloggers for a proper write up cause I'm at work. I'm gonna update my blogroll tonight, I don't even read half the blogs on the right here and there are many more which I do read that aren't linked.

GG last night everyone !

P.S. Tonight I'm going to play some 180's on Stars, so if you fancy joining me give me a shout on msn or yahoo ;-)

The Price of Success

I think I've become a target, that's the price of winning two bloggerments, multiple successful hammer blows, and blind aggression at the table. "Lucky Tan", "Hyper Aggresive Tan" and "No-Foldem Tan" have all been called out as new nicks for me in recent days ! Yes, on Sunday I was back to my lucky best and managed to take down another Brit Bloggerment. Sure I got lucky, pulled some bluffs and probably raised more than most in the game, but it worked and I managed to beat Acornman heads up after reliquishing a 2-1 lead and then fighting back.

I may be distracted for the next one though because yesterday I entered a couple of 10+1 satellites to the Sunday Warm-Up, the first game I played was a double shootout with 2 places paid and I finished 3rd ! Still a small profit but no seat. The second game was an MTT with 56 players, again with 2 places paid. This time despite only have 3 BB's at one point with 5 remaining I had a huge comeback and managed to claim one of the seats :o)

If you play confident then you will get lucky and winning poker is all about getting lucky !
