PICNIC and The New Series of the IT Crowd
Published on 2010-07-05 10:25:00
The IT Crowd is back, if you’ve missed it then I suggest you catch up on 4OD as its returned stronger than ever. Graham Linehan is a total genius and a poker player to boot and this weeks ‘Countdown’ episode really was fantastic. Linehan once told a story about playing in a major poker tournament and one of the famous players sat with him asked, “What do you do then? You look familiar” so he responds “Well I wrote a few comedies and that, you might of heard of Father Ted?” to which

I think I might be a right cunt? Are you?
Published on 2010-07-02 05:35:00
I was pondering this the other day, am I a cunt or not? Now I think I say to myself at least three or four times a day, “I’m such a cunt” every time I make a piss poor call, every time I suck out on someone, every time I spill a cup of tea, this seems to be the first thing out of my mouth, or more usually the first thing I say in my head, because muttering about cunt’s is rarely acceptable even in the most relaxed office environments.A few weeks ago my wife asked me if I could do her a b

Got P.M.T BAD…
Published on 2010-06-23 04:46:00
Got a bad case of P.M.T, pre match tension… Haven’t been this bad for a while, England perennially disappoint but you just have to feel there’s a performance there somewhere, please God, please…The highlight of the world cup so far has been winding the Mr’s up, last night I told here Messi was one of three brothers, the other two are also on Barcelona’s books and are named Sloppi and Scruffi, she bought that one. I also told here that the Greek’s had a player on the bench called Sn

Weirdest fucking dream of my life Friday night, I presume I was really small or the world was really big, anyway I’m attached to a bungee cord and am bouncing in and out of Gwyneth Paltrows fanny, I’m picking up these giant sausage rolls (or normal size depending on your perspective) from the floor and I have to collect them and stack them inside her minge on these old steel shelves that are painted battle ship grey.I told the wife and she came up with the quite literal translation that I w
Why I Quit Poker and Why I think Black Belt Poker is Marvellous…

My BBP Time LineI signed up last year depositing £25 quid (Yes I’m cheap)Took my money out again once I trebled it (I like to play for free)Wrote an article for UKPI that I thought raised a fair question regarding the value of BBP to the causal player (Orange and Purple Belts)Took part in a reasoned and open debate about this article with the site staff, owners and customersTook part in the first orange belt free roll added after the debate, don’t think it was introduced as
Impressed

Quite impressed that my followers have been increasing whilst I have been away, probably a fair comment on the quality of the writing in that the appeal of my blog actually went up when I stopped updating it.Poker, poker, poker, what to say, I pretty much stopped playing online, which is weird because I was in nice profit for the year and with the help of Black Belt Poker through the live coaching I received at the academy and access to deuces cracked I feel as if my game has really leaped forw
I Is a Big Jessie

Oy Vey, why can nothing in life ever be fucking easy, I can’t remember the last time I said to someone, “Sir, I have this problem that needs remedying, its yada yada yada” and they turned to me and said, “Ok, it will take this long and cost this much”. This just never fucking happens, it’s always, well if this happens, you got to worry about this and then this and all this other shit, fuck, fuckety, fuck, fuck.Also why do we love cry during films? Is there some deep need to cry now a

As a poker journalist of absolutely no note, I occasionally get invited by confused PR people to media focused poker events. Recently I was fortunate enough to be gifted a dream ticket to attend as a guest of Black Belt Poker ‘The World Heads-up Poker Cliché Championship’ in London.This made for TV event had attracted the biggest cliché spouters in the poker world and after 4 day’s of intense competition the 64 original entrants had been whittled down to two and we had thee dream final w

Been really busy the last few months, completed the purchase of our house and moved in. It’s great, really love it and its frankly mahussive as a lot of these old Victorian places often are, I now have an office which I love and a 30-40 foot garage that I’m toying with doing a Mr Mac on and turning into Taunton’s first poker club! Sad news that we gave up on ukpokerinfo, just couldn’t get the love going that it once thrived on. No big bust up or anything, I still think James, Rich, Gaz a

Nostalgia

Nostalgia = one really fucking ugly word, just look at it, a total monstrosity, which coincidentally is another really ugly word, but the difference is monstrosity is supposed to look ugly where as surely nostalgia should be good looking thing, because nostalgia is a beautiful thing isn’t it?Maybe nostalgia is ugly, how would you best define the word? Id have a go at ‘The remembrance of things past with a golden hue that is nearly always a lie’, yeah I suppose even a well intentioned lie i

Seeing as every other blog is wishing seasons greetings I thought I would swim against the tide, so ‘You can all fuck off’. And my poor mood has absolutely nothing to do with the fact I will be working/on call for 90% of the holiday season.I am looking forward to Christmas though, we had our Christmas shop delivered last night, I was up stairs having just got out of the shower when the delivery van pulled in and I watched the driver unloading as I got dressed. I can hear from upstairs as the

***WARNING BORING POKER POST, AS OPPOSED TO JUST BORING OTHER SHIT POST***I don’t really play MTT’s much these day’s, the reasons for this are,1.) Field sizes are in the main fucking ridiculous, and those greedy bastards won’t shut registration anymore so you end up after an hour with more punters than you fucking started with!2.) I just don’t have 6-9 hours free very often.3.) Everyone learned how to play them properly.4.) I’m just not as good as I used to be at them, hundreds of th

There are woman in the world who you should just fuck, no relationship, no friendship you just fuck them. When I was about nineteen I met a girl like this, being young and stupid I confused sex with love and decided I had fallen for this girl, I can’t remember exactly how but pretty soon we ended up engaged to be married.This girl proceeded to fuck a number of my friends and pretty much any other bloke she could, and I allowed myself to sink to the very deepest levels of personal humiliation;

I got completely wankerd on Friday night at the works do, seems like I got away with it as no-one has come charging at me screaming, “you animal!” this morning.I don’t know what it is but I never seem to be able to just go out and have a drink and a laugh, I seem to be on a self destruct from All-Bar-One (see what I did there) and I always black out and can’t remember anything. I’m not really a bad drunk, I’m just highly suggestible, someone say’s I think we should throw the boss i
Is I a human Being or Is I Being a Poker Player Quiz?
Published on 2009-12-09 07:47:00
I do love the Killers, I was listening to them the other night and the ‘Are we human or are we Dancer’s?’(Although why these two things, being human and a dancer would have to be mutually exclusive is beyond me? Answers in the comments section please) track got me thinking about poker in a round about sort of way.There are lots of opportunities in the game of poker that if you follow the correct course of action in search of profit could be termed as somewhat morally questionable. So I giv

Builders and Kev’s Immutable Law of Poker #1
Published on 2009-11-27 04:32:00
Had to take a builder round to the new house yesterday to get a quote for the work that needs doing according to the survey we had done, this was always going to be difficult because we are buying the house from a builder. Now I hate dealing with builders at the best of times, they have a way of making me feel like an idiot because I don’t understand what flashing or recessed joints are, actually scratch that they make me feel like a child or maybe more accurately un-manly, yes more accurately
Is it OK to fail?
Published on 2009-11-23 01:09:00
I was wrestling for a title for this post for a while, I nearly went for ‘Succeeding at failure’ which probable gets more to the nub of my current concerns, in that I’m doing well at failing in poker.I joined Black Belt Poker a while back now, the idea being that with the points based system it would encourage me to concentrate on the things a poker player should worry about, IE playing at the correct level, volume and ROI. None of this has really happened, I’ve multiplied my starting ro
