Just the One!

A trip to the maternity unit at the local hospital yesterday for the 3 month scan dispelled any thoughts of twins coming in 6 months time! The scan showed a 'normal' baby, wriggling around like the preverbial pig in shit. Can't help being amazed sat watching our little baby - just 3 months 'old' (or should that be -6 months old?) - on the screen wriggling around in mummy's tummy, waving arm and legs, heartbeat clearly visible. Amazing what technology can do these days.

Anyway, mother and baby appear to be doing very well, all tests came back spot on where they should be - so we look forward to the due date of 20th April (10 days after Mia was born - odds on being 10 days early?) and now have to decide on a name. Which is not proving easy.



Poker has continued in the same form as my previous post, a few downs, but mainly ups and my balance has crept to the £550 mark with about another £60 in my poker account. I've gone back to Ladbrokes, one of the first sites I played at, and stuck to the 10/20c BB level.

Things have been going well overall, and last night was a pretty roller coaster night, losing 2 buy ins when I flopped a str8 and saw the two cards I was holding hit the turn and river and my opponent had the high card to make a better str8.

Feeling a bit 'tilty', I headed to a 50c BB table, and was dealt AA early on. A raise and call before me so i raise it up 4 x the original raise- 3 players call!

We see a flop of J J 10 so I pot bet and all 3 call!

Turn was an A so I bet half my original bet, attempting to show weakness. One player pushes, 2nd and 3rd call, as do I. I push on the river and everyone calls. 3 Full Houses and a Str8 and I profit about 150$ :-).

Shut down the 50c tables and snuck back to the 20c and, apart from the above, have stayed fairly disciplined.

Anyway, off to Biddulph Gardens tomorrow, so let's hope for some nice weather!
