Running hot, in the non-poker

First off, while its not news to anyone, I have to say congrats to Gary Clarke. He took down a 56 or so runner $500 euro tourney to net himself a WSOP ME package. I'm not going to get into the details of how it went down, but lets just say its controversial at least. Its available on boards but it a long read.

 

Also, congrats to me for running hot in a non poker gambling lately,

I had three horses backed in the English national, who finished 1st, 2nd and 4th respectively. To follow up, in a raffle last night (yes raffles are gambling). €10 in tickets netted me the top prize, a designer lamp worth €1,400. That's a whopping 13,900% ROI. I don't know where I will put it yet, its pretty big.

 

Unfortunately the poker front is not so shiny. After a streak of winning live sessions, I've dipped. 4 or 5 losing sessions on the trot now. I've decided to give it two more sessions before the cash league final and depending on the results of that, re-evaluate. Possibility put in a better effort online, I hope to get back on track as this week a few boardies donated some HHs as I lost my pokertracker DB.

 

And finally, a non-gambling piece. I'm planning on swimming a mile for charity (child cancer research) the day after the cash league final. If you know me, you will know I'm not exactly in shape so it won't be easy, all support appreciated.
