I'm back and ITM!


Hi all,sorry about the lack of updates recently but I have been away on my holidays.Alot of you won't know that I am a biker (have been since I was 17) and when I am not working or have my son staying over for the weekend,I strap the tent and sleeping bag on my bike and head off for a motorbike rally where loads of heavy rock music and plenty of beer is guaranteed.Well every year in July (the third weekend to be exact) the biggest bike rally in Europe takes place at Faro in Portugal,and seeing as I have always wanted to go,and the fact that I am 40 in a couple of months,I thought I would treat myself. And what a fantastic time we had,30 degrees heat,24hr bars,rocking music and partying with at least 50,000 other bikers.Superb.
Onto the poker because this is a poker blog after all,and I played my first MTT for over a week last night on Full Tilt and did OK. 56th out of nearly 900 runners.I pushed my AQ when low on chips into AK (as always) and didn't improve.I was pleased to cash though and any profit will always please me.
I have just bought the new Gus Hansen book where he won Aussie Millions and explains all his plays in winning the tourney,hopefully I can pick up a few tips from it.Good luck all and hope to see you at the tables.
