Hehe, im like a kid in a sweet shop right now. Really excited about gukpt ME tomorrow, so hope i just get to enjoy myself really. I have a slim edge on the field i guess, but a donkament is a donkament and the luck factor is always immense. I sometimes get worked up (you wouldnt believe it if you saw me lol) and put pressure on myself when that really isnt a good idea. You just have to play so many comps to realise your edge that this is more like a shot in the dark opposed to a real opportunity. Im incredibly priveleged to even be playing in a £1k buyin event so will just be going in with a hope and a prayer.

Plan A.

Obviously i wont be messing around with any tight play early on (whats a starting hand?) and will be going hell for the leather using as much fold equity as i can muster early on. Im acutely aware of how i am viewed by nearly everyone i play with so hopefully i can valuetown some non-believers/ get ppl trying shit v me (Secretary, Hero Callers Are Us, 2008) early on, generate a stack and then make the most out of the immense implied odds in position v players that are not used to playing with so much ammo. Thats the plan anyway. Updates as always on blondepoker.com and good luck to any of you other fortunates looking forward to the comp, its sure to be a real blast (even if it is in Luton lol)!

Plan B.

Am gonna swap 200% of myself tomorrow, then bust out 1st and get the beers in with the internet boys.
