27th October

Without question the best Badbeat dreamteam event ever, and thats got nothing to do with the fact i actually made a final table! No it was just an overall great weekend, but you wouldnt expect anything else from such a fine group of people. Ive got to give a big mention to the Serbians who made the long trip over, what a wonderful bunch, i dont know what i was expecting from them but to spend a few hours in there company over a few beers, listening to there poker stories ( spoken in better English then a fair few of our own UK residents.......crawfski springs to mind) was a pleasure, and i look forward to working with them in the future. As for the poker, well from my point of view it went pretty well, if not for a truely sick beat for one of my team mates who got all the money in AA v KK in a pot where AK was folded only to see the first card K my team would have been in great shape to win it, but it wasnt to be and the honours once again went to a team containing Rich Lizard, pretty sure this is now the fourth time hes won the group event and after spending a few hours watching him patiently nuture his tiny stack up the finishing order for the ever valueble team points i can see why! Well done to all the muffcakes! On a personal note i was pretty happy with how i played, the form ive been talking about for the last 6 months or so was once again there for all to see, the diffrenece this weekend being that i only suffered two beats, AK v JQ for a smallish pot, and then my very last hand where i called all in with KQ against K9..........9 on the turn. Being chip leader after two hours and holding the lead for the next two days to the final table, something ive not done live for a good while was also very comforting! I know its "only" the dreamteam final, but its a big strong field, and at last ive finally run deep in a tourney rather than just talking about it!!! Its the Blackpool leg of the GUKPT event soon, and well id be mad not to play it, after the WSOPE event i was sure i was back in form, the DT final as confirmed this, so maybe there is still time for me this year to end the live losing streak and end the money drought............
