I am mega, mega, mega frustrated, particularly for you as backers. Every single comp I have made a good start in and except fof the first one, for one reason or another things have ended abruptly. Today it was due to.Pinkfish and despite his terrible play I very nearly trebled up to just under the average in my penultimate hand but didn't run well enough in it.

We still have three comps to rescue this package with. Before I was very determined, now I am very determined and angry, and I will take this anger out on my opponents with the way I play in the last 3 comps.

Sorry guys..... Been off the grid slightly...... Missed the last update last night......... It'll be up in a sec!

From Cliff @ 2340 last night.......

I will leave you guys alone after this text because quite understandably you must be as annoyed as I am about me continually bricking these comps but to underline how bad these players are. I'm now playing €5/€10 NLHE cos PLO is full. First hand I get AJ hearts. EP makes it 35 from his 350 stack, 1k stack flats and I call from my 500 stack. Flop K33 two hearts. It is checked to me. I bet 70. The short stack makes it 200. Big stack passes, I shove and the short stack passes for his remaining 135. I am not saying my play is great, but again wtf?! I have another comp tomorrow in which I would like to destroy all of these fish. I will say a prayer to the poker gods before I go to sleep.

From Cliff @ 1040hrs today.....

Was in fact another £115 that he passed for. I lost a couple of small pots after that but then won a €700 pot having checked top pair on the flop. Turn gave me a spade draw. 1st to act donk led for 60 next to act made it 160, I shoved 700, they all passed. I left the game. Rake was 4% uncapped and was even charged in pots where there was no flop! Also it's against the rules to give a walk in SB or to change seat position. The 330 NLHE turbo starts at 6 p.m. my time. 5000 chips, 15 min clock. I am planning on taking no prisoners.

Good luck Cliff...... I know you are feeling frustrated but dont let the previous dissapointments get to you oraffect your game. The tourney is like that, you'll come good, have belief in your game!!!!! Allez et bon chance!!!!!

Text I seng that didn't make it on to this forum:

Had 5k was moved to new table. 200/400, made it 1400 with 89JQds. Anothet local gambling fish in MP put me all in, everyone else folds. He flips Q322. I hit a J and double up.

Down to 7k. I raise UTG with AKQ9, suited ace. A 6k stack pots it. I am all in. Yet another local fish with 100k makes the call. 6k stack has Q853ds, big stack has JJ72 with 3 diamonds. I flop an ace but short stack rivers a 5 for 85 two pair.

I won the 2k side pot and get it in next hand with bad Kings and lose.

In my cash game I am pretty sure Sergio Garcia was at the table. Either him or a 90% look alike. He. played like a total nit.

Definitely playing 50/100 PLO was Viktor Blom with David Benyamine and some locals. I railed the game from 3 Gest away before the floor ushered me away.

Today's 300 NLHE is a bit of a punt as NLHE is not really my strength. But I hope my experience of short stacking many NLHE cash games and my live faster structure NLHE comp experience will give me a good chance.

But I am more likely to report playing a hand really badly or of being owned. We shall see.

I have two pieces of good news and one piece of bad news.

The first piece of good news is that I chose a Lion Bar instead of a Mars Bar today and I ate it immediately.

The piece of bad news is that I lost my scarf running between two areas of the casino during one of the breaks.

The second piece of good news is that I came 2nd for €10,700 in the NLHE turbo.

I would have to rate my play as 9.5 out of 10.
