Still feeling good about poker.

Hi and welcome.I am enjoying playing at Everest poker and am actually doing rather well there.The software is good and once you get to know the players at your table who cannot let go of Ace-rag and play it EVERY time they get it,they are there for the taking as long as an Ace is not part of the flop.Another thing I have noticed playing there is that approx 60-70% of the players are French and I have not seen one player from the UK there yet!

I know I said in an earlier post that I was cutting back on the amount of time I play online,but to tell the truth I am playing well just now,winning money and just loving every minute of it.Enough of my ramblings,good luck everyone and hope to see you at the virtual felt.

My best result and feeling good

Hi,and it's good to be back in the world that is Poker.I have hardly played in the last six months and feel a hell of alot better for it.To tell the truth I felt that Poker was taking over my life,every spare moment I had I was firing up an online table,and it got to the stage where I was ignoring more important things in my life.BUT NOT ANYMORE!

Last night I downloaded the Everest Poker software and deposited $15 just for a laugh.I entered a 354 runner $2 rebuy tourney and came in 6th for $110 and my best payday yet lol.

But what pleased me more was when just after making the money I got dealt KK and was gonna push the lot in the middle.I was in late position but 3 players went all-in ahead of me.I thought for a bit but really did think one of the three had AA,so I folded.When the cards were revealed pre-flop I would of been up against AQ,A10 and QQ,the river produced another Q and I'm so glad I folded my kings .Six months ago I would of pushed so I figure I am thinking better after my six month break.Take care people and I hope to post again soon.

Hello,it's me again

Hi and it's good to be back.Sorry about the lack of updates recently but there has been nothing to update! I have played very little online in the last few months and feel a bit better for it.I have decided to maybe play a couple of tourneys a week and see how it goes.

Anyway last night I fancied a shot at the virtual felt and entered a $3 tourney at Full Tilt with over 300 runners and over two hours later I finished 12th.

The hand I went out with is this hand above (click on pic and get larger view.) I was getting low on chips because of the big blinds and had to push em all in.Of course I was ahead until the river,and if my hand had held up I think I would of went on and had possibly my best online win yet! But thats poker and there is always another day and another tourney.Good luck all and hope to see you at the tables.

A new direction

Hello again and guess what?I am on night shift AGAIN!!!! lol,but not to worry as I have started a new tactic to build a bankroll on Pokerstars.It's these double or nothing SnG's where 10 players sit at one table and the last 5 remaining get back double their buy in.It's as boring as hell and ABC poker is the way to do it,but I feel I can show a profit playing,so I will spend the majority of my time online playing in these.

I am also thinking about joining a casino in Edinburgh shortly and playing in some low buy-in MTT's there but that is something for the future.Good luck all and I hope to see you at the tables.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hello again folks. Just a short post today as I am so tired (I am doing seven night shifts on the trot at work) and also I haven't really played much online.When I do want a game tho I seem to find myself at Carbon Poker.The traffic numbers aren't huge there but at the lower stakes I play at I can hold my own and seem to be doing well there just now.I like the STT's they hold and played only one today and if you click on the square above in the middle of the page you can see how I got on. I will try and play one of these a day this week and hope the bankroll keeps improving.Good luck all and hope to see you at the tables.

Another cash

I haven't played since my last post below,and as I am not working till tomorrow night I thought I would see if any low stakes MTT's were about to start on Carbon Poker.Nothing caught my eye so then I checked out Sky poker as I have an account there also.The Open £5000 GTD was about to start,and as I have never played this tourney before I thought I would give it a try. 580 runners with the top 60 being paid,and I finished 30th for a nice profit! The blinds are 7mins and the players here seem to be a bit more loose than I am used to at the usual places I play,so I reckoned my best tactic would be play tight and try and steal the odd blind.It obviously worked as players dropped out like flies,but I am not complaining of course.
That is 2 MTT's this week and 2 cashes which is nice,and I hope this form continues.Maybe the 2-3 week break I gave myself from playing online has done me better than I first thought.
Good luck all and hope to see you at the tables.

So close..........but still pleased!

I am sorry that I haven't updated my blog for a while,but to tell the truth,I just haven't been playing very much at all.I have been too busy and have got more important things going on in my life right now (but thats another story).

I played my first MTT in weeks tonight ,AND I FINISHED 2nd!!!!!!!!! I really am chuffed with this result because at one stage in the tourney I was in last place with around 40 players left with 300 chips.But it just goes to show what can happen if you keep plugging away.Maybe I needed a break from poker as it was getting to the stage where I was ignoring other more important things in life and I have vowed to not let it take me over like that again.My poker ambition is still to win a MTT,and I really thought tonight was gonna be my time,but I am still pleased with a second place.Good luck all and I hope to see you at the tables.
