By Annette Obrestad -- I've played two big live tournaments this year so far and am disappointed obviously not to have gone deeper in both of them.

The Aussie Millions was frustrating when I got tilted when some player I'd never played against before and who had just joined the table called my 4-bet with 5-5!

There's nothing more annoying than having played sick poker for four days, not having been all-in a single time without having my opponent drawing dead postflop just to have someone call your 4-bet shove the first hand you sit down at the table..ah well.... I still love poker :)

Bubbled at the Copenhagen EPT...these things happen. Best of luck to new Betfair sponsored Pro Peter Jepsen whose contract was announced on the opening day of that tourney.

Peter is a useful tournament player and an accomplished cash player as well. As every one knows Betfair Poker is the safest place to deposit money when playing high stakes cash games online and I'm sure Peter is going to do well in both cash online at Betfair and in the live tournaments.

In other news, I ran kind of bad at the European Open 5 - guess you'll catch that on a TV screen near you soon.

On a personal note I'm off to Thailand with family and friends at the end of March after the Dortmund EPT then I plan to play in the San Remo (April 18-23) and EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo (April 28 - May 3).
