A Textured and Colourful Week

December 22, 2006

It has been a “textured” week, as Mr Lederer would say.With more ups than downs.A very slight hang over this morning, nothing too spectacular, just enough of one to put me off facing any kind of breakfast other than hot steaming mugs of Java.

Xmas? Humbug! Just gimme your chips.

December 19, 2006

So far the “barren”ness is continuing so this blog is probably going to be a bit of a ramble…Played a couple of League games and they were as about exciting as sitting here counting the pixels on my screen whilst trying to think of what to write about on the blog.

A Barren Week

December 15, 2006

Wow, seems an age since I last opened this page up.I have been on a self imposed sabbatical from poker for the last week.

Loose Play & Beanie Hats.

December 1, 2006

After admitting to myself that I simply cannot play every league game, because of the time difference (99% start at 11pm my time) I am left with a bit of a dilemma. So far this week I have not played a league game, so what do I write about?

Well as I haven’t been playing I can’t really write about that aspect on a personal level, but I have been observing and listening, so maybe I can tap out on the keyboard here some of my ‘takes’ on what I am seeing and hearing from outside the loop. So with that in mind, today’s blog is going to be slanted towards a more serious post. (not entirely serious of course, that’d be impossible for me)
