They didnt turn up - miserable buggers these aliens - was hoping they'd abduct me, Daniel Negreanu, Brunson, Ivey & Guss Hanson and carry out some weird experiments so I'd come back to earth a poker playing wizzkid - not sure any of the other players or the aliens would have done well out of the deal though.

No excitement - 25 uneventful mins passed then somehow managed to win $ 240 with pocket 3's against 9h 2d As flop ace must have put him off - thankfully some times my bluffs get through - $ 925 1156th / 1598

Dealt 99 flop came down 9-- got greedy and didnt play it fast enough lost to a straight - fine line between trying to keep 'em in and knowing when to get them out - definately crossed the line - $ 375 after 30 mins 1270th / 1308

10 mins later I hit KA off on the big blind end up committed he shows K 10 and manage to get back up to $ 1000
573rd /1018

Sitting on my hands to try and get to the break, then I hit AA on 54mins I'm all-in looking to double up. He shows A3 suited - so Im feeling reasonably confident - amazed he called with it

Flop comes Q58 QK

He makes a long shot flush - so yet again I'm out - 750th - This time I feel suitably pissed off to get out drawn again - I know I'm a terrible player but at least getting AA crushed by such a crazy call could have happened to anyone.

• $5+0.5 NL sit&go shorthanded ... 5th ... loss $ 5.50 ... - $5.50

Up down up down down - I'm an utterly miserable player even with free money


day five $ 28.75 -$ 8.60 total $ 20.15 (- $23.85)
