I prefer No Limit as you can make far more moves and protect your hands . I decided i was going to play tight and basically after starting with 10,000 in chips with 45 minute levels i finally took a bad beat . There were so few hands i'll list them all .

The structures here in Luton are the most player friendly i have seen , even the £200 No Limit gave 5000 in chips and 45 minute levels . Also there is a players buffet at 11.30 which is appreciated.

Ok so the first hand i played set the tone for the evening , i limp in FP with KK , there is a raise to 125 and 2 callers , i reraise to 575 and get one caller , flop is A Q 3 and i pass to a pot size bet .

I start level 2 with 7400 but blinds are still only 50 100 so plenty of time , i win 2 pots , i call a raise with 44 and bet out on a flop of 3 5 6 , then FP slow plays AA and i call on the button with QJ , flop is Q 9 Q , we both check , turn he bets , i flat call , river is a T and he check calls , that was the ens of that level and i was up to 10,825.

Level 3 i played literally one hand KQs , there were 4 of us in the pot , flop was Q T 5 , i bet 1200 , it was raised and reraised before it got back to me , an easy pass , one had QT for top two , the other had J9s for a straight flush draw that made it on the turn and with no pair up we lost a player .

Level 4 i picked up the blinds twice but never played a flop !

Level 5 blinds were now 200 400 , i had two hands 22 and 77 , i passed to a raise with the first and led out on a 4 2 4 flop with the second , i started level 6 with 6,600 .

In first positon i picked up the first suited A i had seen A8 , it was pass or raise , i elected to raise as i had been playing so tight i was only going to get called by a real hand , all passed to the BB who called , flop was A T 4 with two hearts , i had diamonds , the BB was chip leader with about 35,000 , i had 4500 left , he bet 4500 after counting my chips and i called , he had KJo both black , i assume he thought a Q was coming , in actual fact he did it the hard way , turn was a K river a J , lovely !

Tomorrow is Pot Limit Omaha , last time i played this was in the $10,000 at the WSOP where i came 5th for $93,000 , surely i can make a final in a £200 here in Luton lol .
