Nothing to see here ........... move along

I think i've played 1 game of poker since i last posted ...................................... so nothing to report on the poker front ................................ not really the best news to report in a poker blog. I should be playing the Virgin V-points freeroll tommorrow though and from now on will hopefully be able to get back to playing a bit more regularly again.

Update

Tonight as i'm writing this entry i'm playing the Virgin Poker V - points freeroll, and its the first game i've played for over 2 weeks ............................ so not much to blog about recently. I've been working 11 hour shifts for the last couple of weeks and having to go to bed early (aren't promotions fun .................. at least i get more money :-) ) ........... things should be getting back to normal this week as far as my working hours go, but as i'm now going to be getting up an hour earlier than i used to most poker games are going to be finishing a bit too late for me :-(

I guess i'll just have to see how things go

Time Off

Not really had much to write on a poker front as i've been busy at work, and the few games i have played recently i've not really managed to get into and have been happy to get finished ................. not really the most productive way to play poker. So i've not really been playing much, though last night i did play my second game of H.O.R.S.E .....................which went slightly better than the last one as i made the final table .......................... I made some stupid moves at times, but at least this time i was playing the right games at the right times, which always helps :0)

My First H.O.R.S.E Tournament

Well, that was funny ................................ I was doing quite well all in all until I lost to Burnley joes full house because i went off to the fridge to get a drink, came back and started playing without realising it had changed from razz to 7 card stud
...................................................... I was wondering why joe was still in the pot

The Week So Far

So far this week i have played 3 tournaments and managed pretty unspectacular results in all of them. The main problem being i've been busy at work and have been shattered by the time i get home and end up taking chances i normally wouldn't as i want to go to bed. .............................. not the best way to play, so i decided it wasn't worth my while playing anymore this week.

Until tonight that is where i'll be playing my first HORSE (Holdem, Omaha, Razz, Stud event)tournament, since i'm a bit hazzy on some of the rules of the games it should be interesting to say the least.................... i'm just going to sink a fewe vodkas and chill out tonight trying to figure out what the hell i'm doing :-)

I'll post how things go later ........................ Probably lol

My Poker Update

Since my last blog entry i've had a few good results which i can't be bothered dredging my memory to remember ........... But i managed to go 26 days in a row as Punters Lounge Best Poker Player (BPP) ................. not bad considering that Morlspin is the nearest to me with 14 days as BPP :0)

Though as much fun as it is to pat myself on the back, the length of time i spent at the top was mostly due to me getting some good results in the space of 8 or 9 days giving me a long time before i had to drop one. As i only play half the focus games (or less) I doubt i'll be heading back to the top anytime soon :0( .......................... but it was fun while it lasted

Update on Goal Poker

Well i've kind of let this slide a lot lately haven't i lol.................................... so unlike me :0)

Given that the last post is about the great time i had at the Goal Poker Ibiza weekend i suppose i have to tell the story of how Goal Poker scored a massive Own goal and are pretty much out of business due to running out of money. full details of how they renaged on paying out WSOP packages that were won on goalpoker by Burnley Joe (Bottom right on Ibiza group photo) and Fenner can be found here:

Its a long Thread! but to paraphrase, if you have any money in a goalpoker account remove it and don't have anything to do with them

Goal Poker World cup Ibiza VIP Party

I should have written about this ages ago as i've been back a week.

I had a great weekend , drank quite a bit, met up with some PL members i knew and met up with some more i had only played against online. so it was great being able to put faces to the names .............................. and for once I actually made a nice wee profit on the live games of poker Instead of going out on the bubble (3rd time ever playing live)

I also got to enjoy the view of lots of models wandering around topless on the beach .................. its a tough life ............................ unfortunately it was over all too quickly ............... but it was a great weekend was put on by goalpoker so they deserve a big Thankyou.

Mansion $500 added

Its strange really, but i never used to bother with freerolls with prize pools as small as $500 (which is effectively what the $500 added is) but its been a really successful tournament for me over the last few weeks, friday night i ended up getting 4th place out of about 330 people.
