Last couple or days...

After taking down Wednesdays £10 D/c i was up for some more live poker. Decided to play the £25 d/c at Moortown. 10k x 2 if you wna rebuy for another £25. I met LeKnave and Gibbo there. Gibbo had an unfortunate incident over new year, ripping his tendon in his arm after punching a window! dont ask why, but he was unlucky enough to draw the dealer seat. So, to keep the table going well, i dealt. Hadnt mind dealing of late but today i regretted it bigtime and won't be dealing for a long while. It effects my game too much and i dont think about decisions, and just donk off my chips.
Ok, after topping up after first break i was ok around 40k, pretty decent amount and was expecting to do well. Then just after the break, a guy pops it up to 1800 UTG,blinds 300/600. I flat call it here on the button with JJ. I hated this play for how the hand played out, but theres a case for r/r pre or flat calling IMO. Anyway, flop comes 9 8 2 rainbow. He bets 1800, i make it 5200, and he re ships all in for another 10kish on top of that. Normally i would think about this decision more, knowing that the only hand i really honestly beat is 10 10. Anyway i make the call and he flips top set for trips 9s. Horrible horrible call IMO. In the end, i later donk a few more chips off with AQ then calling an all in after raising pre with 88, again, i wouldn't do this had i not dealt and my mind wasnt straight after the JJ hand. Ended up busting in around 20th, which i was V. annoyed with to say i had 40k at the break.
I then get involved in the cash game £1/£1 blinds, and buy in for £75. I get a few nice hands and end up finishing the night on £294. This obviously made me feel better about my terrible tournament play, but i still know how bad i was during that torn.
Then to today, i decided i was guna go to the £5r at Gala,Leeds. Gave them quick ring to make sure it was on, and they told me it was a £50f/o, 15k stack starting at 3pm. Im like heaven, iv gota play that. Blinds started at 100/200, for 1 hour, then every half hour for 3 levels then 20 mins thereafter. Was on around 32k after first 3 levels 2 hours or so in. Main hand was AK vs AQ(UTG limper),he made a speech which made me wary, but i made the call and was happy to see AQ. So that took me to around 1 of the CL's at break. Then got in a hand when i was in cutoff with AJc, i made it 1500 at blinds 300/600, sb and bb call. Flop comes A K J, he bets 3k, i make it 10.5, he calls. Turn he bets 3k again, im like WTF? but i move him in for his last 10kish, and he calls, he has AQ and the river bricks, for a just short of a double up for me. Anyway, take a few pots,and the FT arrived, im on around 65kish and about 3rd-4th in chips. Cl has arond 130k after he got in a big pot with another of the Cl's. A lot of ppl donk out of the FT pretty quick, a guy i no Justin getting pretty unlucky, but it happens. Anyway were down to 3 and im the shorty, i make a few moves and im about level with 2nd. But it all goes wrong, as i cant hit a flop and i come 3rd for £264. £610 for first woulda been nice, but i was never in a position to win it, so ill take that.
Not a bad couple of days, going to keep grinding it out at casino quite a few nights, hopefully can keep the run going. Its gota end soon though. Prob go £10 F/o 2mo night,mainly for the cash game after. Then go to the odd few throughout the week. probably Moortown £25 F/o Tues night, then either £25 d/c at gala on wed or £10 d/c Moortown, see how i feel on the day. Then prob wont play Thurs, and then probably play the £25 d/c at Moortown again on Fri night.

Quick word for LeKnave, keep running good etc taking down the torns online. Sledge grow some balls and get back playing and brent......degen FUCK!lol.

Keep the run going, 1 time. Gl all
