Busy Sunday

several tournaments at once tonight - not quite sure why Sundays are three times as busy as a Saturday for online poker freerolls / qualifiers / finals etc.

Started at 7pm with a qualifier on UltimatePoker for the Aruba Classic live tournament in September. It was exclusive to readers of the Sunday People with three qualifiers on consecutive Sundays and an online final on 6th August. Five from each qualify and I managed to finish a hard fought 3rd so now have a 1 in 15 chance of winning the big prize (a $10k package).

At 7.30pm came the Virgin V-points freeroll but I was out early. Played more hands than I should because at 8pm came the champions league on Sporting Odds, a WSOP freeroll on AceFlushPoker, and a Daily Telegraph WSOP qualifier on Pacific 888 (with a second at 8.30pm).

Finished 9th in the champions league and now 17th for July overall. Got nowhere on AceFlush but scraped a top 20 finish in the second Telegraph qualifier so I am in that final later this week.

The other freeroll tonight was for $500 on 32Red but was too busy in the Aruba qualifier and didn't play one hand.

Thoughts for the week turn back to the Mansion Dome and defending my first place in the Punters Lounge Sporting Odds League for July (which I may not have previously mentioned during my 'cold spell' !).
