If it don’t taste bitter to lose, it sure won’t taste that Sweet when winning!

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
Blagz has re-entered the building.. sorta.. nearly

Again I find myself apologizing for the dearth of any news or new content on the blog.
I do have a pretty good excuse this time for not being as active as I would like to be. Well a couple of good excuses;
* 1 – It is still summer and
* 2 – I managed to get slightly ill.
Not immediately life threateningly ill, but bad enough to stop me in my tracks and to get me in the local hospital pretty sharp-ish.
A Sour Week That Gopher Rescued ;)

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.
Why am I doing this blog?
March 16, 2007
I thought I would start this out by explaining a little about why I am doing all of this.
As you can see from the menu (blog links) on the right, I have been lucky to become friends with some fellow Poker players who also blog a little.
We are all members of an on-line league called Poker Chip Squad. Clicking on the link will take you there if you are interested in learning more about the League. We started out a couple of years ago as a Free Roll league. We originally only played in free rolls and buy-in games were not League sponsored.
Right Then! The Month is Up!
February 6, 2007
Bit of a long one today..Right then! The month playing the strategy is up and the consensus is….
Inconclusive…Sort of…In parts…
One of the hardest things for me to do, was deciphering my own notes. I had created a text document and I just opened that whenever I entered a MTT game and added a line or two of comments.
