I was invited to a £1/2NL 50-200bb live cash game tonight which would have been sweet but was just too tired so stayed in to play a bit online instead : Too tired to play poker - UnfornutatelySmall children and babies can have that effect! Since the new baby arrived ive had less time to play, and when i have had the time i have been exhausted, and ive learnt from experience that playing poker and being exhausted dont generally go too well togethor, so i havent played much. I managed to get i [..] > read more

28th Feb 2011: Today was a good day!
Published on 2011-03-26 17:49:00
OK so not totally poker related. (I rarely write about anything esle!) But.. As Ice Cube said: Today was a good day!.. Funny how small things can make you happy, and regardless of whether we succeed in poker, it's to remember more often how lucky we are in life! This morning was beautifully sunny.. I was woken by my 2 year old son Theo jumping into my bed to watch tv and play with my iPhoneMy beautiful wife brought coffee, yogurt & juice, I had a bath, got dressed & played a short poker session [..] > read more
5th February 2011: $253.32 --> $10,000 challenge
Published on 2011-03-26 17:42:00
Poker was not kind to me in 2010.I tried to learn cash games but jumped in way too deep & failed. Starting at 50NL i jumped around limits and sites, sometimes winning a bit, sometimes tilting a lot, putting in some volume between 50nl-400nl towards the end of the year, but i'm currently a losing / breakeven player at best at those levels. I've played underrolled, distracted, too tired, tilted, steaming etc and made loads of basic mistakes: > read more

I can think of at least 10 topics to blog about but dont have time to get it all out now so i'll just spew some thoughts as i havent blogged anything for a while..2010 was my 1st full year playing cash games online, I lost a lot & also learnt a lot and hopefully the expensive lessons will pay for themselves in 2011.. Had a few nice tournament results towards the end of the year online to put a dent in the losses - chopping the $26 rush turbo 6-max twice in a week for a total of $9k was nic [..] > read more

28th November 2010: Another boring poker blog ..
Published on 2011-03-26 17:19:00
I read quite a lot of poker blogs.. some of them are pretty boring and i hear many people comment on how it's no fun to see the same old bullshit about how someone wins a few buyins, or has a few badbeats. There are some exceptions - (I love Assasinato, Sauce123 & Nanonoko's blogs for example - and Sune & Peter write very good blogs!), but this has made me think about my blog and reflect a bit on if its really worth reading (i wonder if anyone reads it!) I haven't blogged anything i [..] > read more
