Oh, the joy, the delight, the immense beauty of JJ....

I think it has been well documented that I absolutely hate JJ, without doubt a horrendous bogey hand for me. As such, I now play JJ like a small pair, set mining and chucking it away at the slightest sign of resistance. This is why, from a DYM last night......

JJ in my hand, it is cursed, I tell thee!!!

Honestly, what have I ever done to JJ to deserve that? Looooooooooool!!! Dealt out a 5 outer to someone on the river in a different DYM shortly after so karma was restored, not, however, before my wireless router crashed when I had 2/3 of my stack in the middle with KK on a K84 board though!! Darn you Hills and your lack of disconnection protection!!! Decided it just wasn't going to be my night after that, so turned it off having cashed 4 from 8 for a total loss of a mighty 4 dollars. Considering the circumstances, not horrendous, should've been 6 from 8 for $36 profit but I can't grumble, so will leave it there.

I have entry into $36k worth of gtd MTT's tonight, shame I have already had an overnight fishing trip planned for weeks!! I have 50/50 jockeys for the 2 big ones ($10k and $20k respectively), best of luck guys, I wish you well :-)

Big well done to Dests who took down yet another MTT last night, great result, well played!!

Right, time to go and catch some lovely fat carp. Best of luck all!!
