Played the betfred Betfair Grand Prix Freeroll last night and due to the problems IPoker sites are giving us AOL Customers I decided to play all-in or fold - as if I called a flop I wasn't guaranteed to still be connected by the time the River (or even the Turn) came around.

So any hands that had potential to 'Scoop' a nice pot I decided to push with - played 2 hands in the first 1/2 hour and doubled then tripled up - the hands are below

Slightly fortuitous to say the least ............ Anyway my connection levelled off after around 30mins and I managed to play the remainder without any disconnections. But my luck held as I called these smaller stacks with my Pair of Threes

Eventually I finished 7th for 50 pts and $30 - with the points putting me in around 10th with just the 1 leg left to play in a fortnight - Top 30 qualify for the Live final in London - Date TBC.

So I feel barring freak results I should make the Top 30 - hopefully the final will be after Easter when my Holiday finishes.
