The Nigh is End?
April 18, 2008
Well it took some time and effort for me to prise open the cover of this particular book. I had to soak the hinges overnight in ‘3in1’ and still ended up jumping up and down on the jemmy before the cover would budge. Was it really that long ago since I last updated the blog? Hell yeah…!
So.. personal life aside what about poker and more specifically my poker exploits? As I mentioned in a comment on SvcMgr’s latest blog entry, I have been mostly if not totally poker inactive for the year so far. Read more

Ok I am going to start off talking about poker just to be sure that I include it in this week’s blog entry. That said I think I am guilty of going on a bit, not sure if I knew where I was going with the post when I started hitting the keys.
I read Gophers blog recently, it is an old topic touched on before by all of us at one time or another. A good idea, there is still a lot of mileage in some of those older topics, in this case the apathy or lack-lustre attitude that can creep into your game. Gopher suggests getting back to basics and re-evaluating your game from the ground up.
Sound advice.
But, not for me, not this time. I know what my problem is with poker, it is not the suck-outs, the cold cards, the series of bad beats. It isn’t any of those things, it is simply boredom. Playing $5 SNG’s just bores the pants offa me! Unless I am cruising the games with fellow Skyper’s, then it doesn’t matter what the buy in stakes are, I am just playing and having fun with my online buds. Read more
Ok Let’s Crank it up Again!
November 16, 2007
Oh boy.. It has been an age since I last strolled into these not-so hallowed halls. My last entry was on… August the 8th holy schmoley! That is three whole months to catch up on!
Shoot I can’t sit here and type up three months of missed blogging I’d be here for the next three months doing so, then I’d be three months behind again and wouldn’t have got anywhere.. So I’ll have to satisfy myself with cherry picking the events I failed to document here and maybe give a brief synopsis of things.
As some you will have noticed the blog title has changed. This is because the blog has always been a mix of poker stories and everyday stories, and now with me playing less poker I suspect the rest of “Life, The Universe and Everything” outside of poker, will become a more dominant theme.
Anyhow let’s start the ‘catch up’, so in no particular order…. Read more
A Sour Week That Gopher Rescued ;)
April 24, 2007
It’s that time again..
Time to sit here tap away some more stuff to fill up the big white space that is my blog page.
Poker stuff…
Still pretty barren in this department. Played a couple of very early morning SNG’s nothing big just $10 tables. Took a couple of money spots and one win. Also played a 200 seater over at PKR one afternoon, whilst doing some work on a separate PC and took 7th.

Well, I played the 1st game of the league tournament games for December, last Friday night. I tried to keep in mind what I had written about in my last post and…………… I went out early.
Yet I am confident the strategy worked. The first 30 minutes of the tournament I was pretty dominant and was chip leader practically from the off.
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)
