So for my 100th Post.......

It's fitting that I have good news for once....... Being though this is my 100th Entry on the blog. But it nearly wasn't too be, because during the Programme Eggheads I suddenly hit with jolts of intense massive pain in my back. So much I was screaming it was that bad. I kid you not it was not nice, so I tried to make it over to the sofa-bed and it got worse if ever such a thing was possible. Lying on back was a no no, side no no, swopping sides again no no, but it did start to sub-side a little, enough for me to make upstairs and get to the bed before I passed out with the pain. Yes it was that bad....... I don't know what brought it on I didn't do anything sudden or contort my body in anyway. Just thankful I was in doors. The meds started to kick in pretty quick and thank god it did calm down. I rested on the bed for about an hour and thought I'll see how it goes back downstairs, and touch wood it didn't flare back up. By that time it was 7-55pm and the only thing worth playing apart from the nightly 8k Bounty was the 8pm ( same time as the 8k ) €5 bounty game. Its a little faster, no its a lot faster with levels removed from the 8k and only 1500 chips instead of the 2k in the nightly 8k. I also think the blinds are 10 mins compared to 12 for the 8k. Anyways I thought go on, I had not played this one for a while because yes the fact its a bit like the Lottery. Players tend to shove with anything and get called by all ranges just so they have there bounty which is half the buy in €2.50, and you only recieve 75% of that, but it doesnt deter the fish and calling stations and its not long into it I remembered why I stopped playing it....... I won't bore you with any hands, needless to say my big hands held up, and I saw myself reach the cash 19th out of 30 left. I picked up about 3 or 4 bounties, and again before long I was on the Final table with 9 of us because I knocked out the 10th place before tha tables merged. I checked the payouts and nothing was worth much until you reached 3rd, but I still played my game and picked my spots. I called a SB shove into my BB with me holding Q9 and turned over K9 and he doubled which left me 6th of 6th, again I didnt panic and 1 double I was back in 3rd when again my hand held over KQ V my A6. It was a bit of shove or fold for about 20 minutes and the massive chip leader coming into the Final table picked off 2 more and me 1 to leave us 3 handed. I was only 1 double up away of the other 2 and managed that when again my hand held up, then all of a sudden the massive chip leader was now 3rd. The other 2 got it in pre with new chip leader limped called the shove with KK v 77 and that was that, I was HU and about 4/1 dog. I did need a bit of luck but within 2 hands I was railed after both times he flopped top pr to my 2nd pair. No complaints really and was happy with how I played. So I managed to collect 8 bounties and with 2nd place I collected a total of €105.82. The winner received €54 more but I can live with that. The total B/roll now stands @ €3256.16. I was pleased I managed to make it to the end without anymore Spazzy fits. It wasn't nice thats for sure............ Thanks for reading and check back soon to see what else I get to luckbox :)
