Thanks, deralte! 
STT-Friday!!
TGIF (thanks god it´s Friday) and I´ve started the weekend with a nice SnG-session (two little ones actually). Played SnGs and some DONs on Titan and 888. Today, I had to play several BIs, there were not so many 5$ or 5€ STTs running, so I took also the 2€ on Titan and the 3$ and two 1$ on 888. Played 9max (mainly on 888, one on Titan) and 6max (Titan, one on 888)- SnGs. Won a couple of 9max SnGs on 888 and took some 2nd places, on Titan I won some DONs, won the little 2€ 9max SnG, couldn´t take ITM in the 5€ 6max SnGs on Titan but won most of the DONs, so that I came out break-evenish on Titan (-0,9€ 
) but made a very nice winning on 888 (about 6 buy-ins up). Ran over my EV, got some lucky 3-outers. ♠_ugly: Besides had good hands and got fully paid.
Didn´t play LAG. Was not necessary. Just played classic ABC-poker, which was the best way: waiting patiently for a solid hand and value bet. Made some bluffs with blockers too but not many. Bluffed less, went more for value. In low limits patience pays sometimes, especially at the weekends when a lot of fun-players are at the tables. It´s better to be patient. ♠_smile:
A little MTT-fun
Just a super-quick little MTT-fun on Titan: Played the 1€ Bounty Hunter, a 2€ satty for 20€ tickets, the 0,5€ PLO8-tourney, the 1€ super-turbo 300€ Gtd. and the 1€ deepstack turbo. In PLO8 I was totally card-dead, in the deepstack turbo I busted shy before ITM after two lucky whales crippled my stack by getting there with their 12% and 30 % equity, then jammed AJs into AQ and out I was. In the 2€ satty I just busted before the tickets but got some money. Came ITM in the Bounty Hunter then I lost AK < AQ, but knocked 3 people out! ♠_evil: From the 300 Gtd. super turbo I busted with JJ, got it in as shortie, flopped the set but AQs get there with the flush.
A break-evenish MTT session ....but was fun!

Well, urm.... No! I don´t!
Thank you, mods (Vorpal?)!
Wonder what happened too. But better not to know I guess...
And I see what you did there Harriet.

Breaking even and a bike tour
Indeed! Played a first little SnG-session on Titan and 888. Played only SnG: 9max and 6max. Traffic at the 5€ and 5$ was not so great, so I took a little shot at a 10€ 6max turbo on Titan. Didn´t make it, cause was card-dead but could take a second place in a 5€ 6max turbo on Titan. Registered also in a 2€ 6max turbo where I lost AK < AQ On 888 I ran better: Could win a 5 $ 9max and and take a second place in a 3 $ 9max and a 5$ 9max. Played also two 1$ 9max SnGs, in one I bubbled with the second best hand and in the other I just busted with something (don´t know what). At the end of my little session I came out with a winning of +0,5 € In other words: break-even.
Ended my session because soon we´re going on a nice bike tour. The sun is very strong now here and we plan our sports at times when it´s not so hot and the sun is not so brutally strong.
But this is not it for today: To be continued ..... MTT-fun in the evening!!!

I didn't see what I did there HarrieR sorry ♦
I'd like to have a secret twin sister though. Together we could take over the world. Or eat pizzas. Or something.

Two trolls and one little ITM
Enjoyed a fun-MTT-evening and played the German Freeroll 250 € Gtd., again together with fellow-reg Harrier88, played a 1€ Bounty Hunter 300€ Gtd and the 100 $ Gemstone Freeroll on Titan, on 888 I had some tickets left and decided to use up a ticket for the Lucky Blast. We trolls were excited to play our weekly German Freeroll and Harrier was happy when he picked up AA. Unfortunately one troll got lost on the way very early: Harrier lost with AA vs 63o. Bummer!
But the other troll (me), was not running much better. Folding and folding, totally card-dead until I picked up JJ. Raised first-in from BTN and small blind called. I was very excited to see that I flopped a set. ....Yeah, was happy ...until the turn came. SB jammed and of course I was happy to call .......until he shows 89o for the idiot-end of the str8. 
So, no cash for the PS-trolls in this tournament today. Busted from the Lucky Blast as well, but was not sad. A look at the price pool convinced me to never play this MTT again: You can win 5 $ BLAST-tickets. Meeeh! Don´t want them, BLAST is nothing but bingo!
In the 100 $ Gemstone I was totally card-dead, so was I in the Bounty Hunter but there, I somehow managed to survive and drag myself ITM. Could place 31st in the Bounty Hunter and take one bounty and a tiny little winning. ♠_ugly:♠_ugly:♠_ugly:
Anyway, was a nice and fun MTT-evening. ♠_thumbsup:
...oh: How can I forget this? A FLAT TIRE!!
We went on a nice bike tour today before my MTT-session. We decided to bike in the forest because it´s sunny and hot here. As usual we do some trekking-biking, well it´s more like mountain biking We biked through sand, on stony roads, it´s always a little adventure! And today it really was!!! I didn´t see a sharp stone and of course I rode over it! But the super-desaster happened when I once slipped out and almost fell! I don´t know on what I slipped out but must have been a stone. My back tire was totally flat and slit! We tried to fix it but no chance!
So there was nothing but walking to the next bus stop which was about 5 km away! At 33°C!!! But we were lucky! Just in that moment we reached the bus stop, the bus came and we went home by bus.
Gotta bring my bike to the workshop on Monday ....
Bike "at the doctor"
Lunch break: Brought my bike to the nearby workshop. The back tire is slit open! Need a new one. Bike will be repaired tomorrow.
Oh man, that sucks!
The blooper-masterpiece!!
It´s hot here and after sports I always like to eat something salty. Yesterday I was desperately looking for a little salty snack - but could only find some salty dried peas I bought ..........don´t remember when. No idea how long this package of salty dried peas was standing in the kitchen cubbord? So, took the package and looked at the expiry date: 02/07/2019. Well, that still could be fine, right? So decided to eat them, cause they won´t get better by standing around. Today after work, my belly started aching. Strange! Didn´t pay too much attention to it until the pain got really really bad! Got horrible cramps in my stomach and abdomen, and had no idea why. Thought I could have eaten something which was not that good anymore so went to the kitchen, looking for the evildoer! Checked the expiry dates - all okay, right?
Well, NO!!
The expiry date at the salty-pea-package was written on the bottom. I checked it again and found out: Expiry date was not the 02/07/2019, but the 07/02/2019 - so it already had expired in February this year!!
Not a big suprise that I´m sick! Have pretty bad belly ache but it´s getting better now .... Oh boy!

There is an ISO standard for date formats
In the US they use m/d/yy frequently -- which doesn't even look like a date to me.
Is a birthday June 3rd or March 6th?
It is especially bad because in Canada the officially recognized date format is dd/mm/yyyy which at least lets you know what century you mean, and for dates after the 12th of the month it is obvious what you mean.
I only render dates as yyyy-mm-dd
I hope you feel better soon...
Cheers,
