The blog begins....at last

Ive been playing poker for over 2 years now, ever since the first time i sat down and started playing i just wanted to play. It intrigued me at the time and ever since, ive loved it more and more.

The guys.... Horneris and LeKnave, started playing regularly at school and shipping the monies in everyday and then they started to play online, so i did too just for fun, i started off well, playing the sngs on Pacific poker and enjoyed playin the odd game, and thought there could be some $$ to make from doing this. I withdrew some and enjoyed the fact i was making money from doing something i enjoy...i then moved onto Pokerstars, after a recommendation from Leknave i think. Something, i thank him for but also could kill him for, reason being, when i play on stars i just dont seem to play properly, theres something about it, i just dont see it as real money and do ridiculous things. But i am glad he recommended it as i shipped it in a while back, more below...

This is the aim of this blog anyway, to make me play better and foucs on what i want to do and help me with my BR management.

Anyway back to where it all started off......... After we all got a bit more experienced we shipped it down to Gala casino most sundays to the £5 rebuy, we all played very tight at first as this was our first experience of Live Poker at the casino anyway, often one of us would make the Final table and the other 2 would be loving it...even though bored and tired and want to go home, but happy for the guy at the Final. Soon...we realised that it wasnt really playing poker at the rebuys, it just became a crapshoot and wanted to play some more heavenly structures and play proper real poker, instead of shipping it in or just folding.

We then heard about Grosvenor Moortown Casino, they did the odd £3 rebuy which was a laugh and didnt dent our Br's too much. The best tournies were the £10 second chance though, start with 5k and another 5k to add on. Blind structures were heaven and we really enjoy it there. All of us often make the Final tables and if not we often play cash games after and ship it in. This is where we have been going ever since until recently. Lately weve been venturing down to Stoke once a month or so, then just last week we went down to Luton as part of the blondepoker for the BB4.

Blonde Bash 4 Winner.....ChipRich







How the hell did i do it, at one point i was down to 5k, blinds 1k/2k, next minute i was sat there doing an interview for sky sports and stood there with Tikay and the trophy.
The $ was a bonus too, 180 runners, only £30 entry, i took home £1.6k and the trophy..very nice win, and nicely timed as i was running out of mular at the time. This was a fantastic tournament and loved every minute of it...except for the fact i was still feeling shit from the night b4...big piss up in Luton, great night though.

This was basically my 2nd ever biggest outright cash playing poker, other win was the 15k on stars, giving me $4.2k, which was heaven at the time, but since, iv just been donating it back to the rest of the stars players around the world.

Im hoping this blog will stop all that and i want to concentrate on building a BR and making me a better player. I will keep you updated on all poker, live and online so that i keep a check on how im doing and to let you know too. This is also to keep a check on my life so i can look back at this and remember heavenly things from the past

Wish me Luck, and ill let you no regularly how its going
