Steady as she goes

As the above title would suggest the last two weeks have been steady but certainly not spectacular. I'm up about £1500 in May which is nice but if it wasn't for some bad luck at the wrong time it could have been so much more. Truth be told i still feel a sharp pain in my stomach when i think about my deep run in the stars $500K gtd, god making that final would have been sweet!
Overall though i'm pretty happy with poker in general. I feel like in a large percentage of tournaments i'm playing my best game and am finishing in the money about 20-25% of the time which is cool. Also playing $55-$215 buy-in comps so i feel quite comfortable and know i'm not going to lose to much in one go. Posted a few hand below that sum up the last 2 weeks quite well:

This hand is funny as fuck! I was happy when i saw the first raise but i couldn't believe how many people called! Nice call by him/her for basically the whole stack with 5 high, lol which way to the roulette pit?

I've never been a fan of the minimum raise and feel like it is rarely the correct play, this hand however is an exception, imo. I'm just hoping the bb does this and my plan works, shame about the flop!

Quite simply this is the way i play and will continue to play, i'm so sick i actually enjoy these hands more than winning with set on set, i'm a sick puppy!

This was a horrible spot with 11 bb's. Very happy with the fold.

So like i said at the start i'm happy with my game and just hope i can have a $4K plus payday soon.
Anyway enough of rubbish old poker, life is great! Just do a quick paragraph on all the other aspects of being a full time bum.
Exercise routine is going well. Am swimming about 5 miles a week on average and hitting the gym a couple of times a week as well, feel like my upper body is getting much stronger but i fear the beer belly may take a bit longer to get rid of, 4 years of eating badly and getting pissed 4 times a week is a lot to get rid of.
I'm being a bit more selective with my t.v which is good, means i don't watch as much crap. The inbetweeners is a new show on E4 and is absolute genius. It's kind of like a british version of superbad but as a series and i love this humour to bits. The Apprentice is great again this year but was very sad to see Raef go, like most people i though he was a posh moron at first but quickly grew to love him and his amazing wardrobe. Also have got into great british menu in a big way, the final is tonight at 6pm on BBC 2 can't wait, i'm so sad!
Half way through Harry Potter 4, i promised myself i would read them all and to be honest am quite enjoying them so far. The first three were good but quite easy but the 4th is a bit darker and so far has been a step above.
Ok so that sums things up quite well. Cheeky 10p/20p cash game tonight with some uni lads which will be great fun as always. Going home saturday for a night out with some of the boys from school then coming back monday for a week long festival at the gutshot:
