It really starts now

I started playing poker in April 2007, I cannot begin to describe how much I love the game, whether it's holdem, omaha or 7 card stud. I am now obsessed. In the 17 months or so I have played their have been many highs and many lows!! The highs are cashing for $6k for a 5th place finish in the nightly hundred k on stars, £2k cash in my first two day tournament, making day two of the GCBPT in Edinburgh, oh and doing a 17 way chop in the £100 buy in event at the Scottish Poker Championships! :D Positive EV :P

The lows, playing outwith my bankroll far too many times, "chasing rainbows" as a couple of poker friends say!! ;) Buying into bigger tourneys to try and get a bit of glory. When you combine this with a lack of discipline and a total disregard and lack of respect for money, it is no surprise that the result was me busting out a very decent bankroll.

However, I have learned so much about the the game, and hope I am starting to become disciplined!

This new mentality resulted in the creation of this blog, it is my public diary. Somewhere for me to write about and disect my thoughts, results, good plays and obviously fuck ups.

Somewhere that my poker friends (and anyone that stumbles across this) can look at my actions, comment on and discuss with me my actions on the road to poker glory :D

There will be no plan of action for my blog, it will be updated when i take the notion (maybe never! :D) I hope to get a definite list of goals and a plan of action together, so I have something to aim at and follow (currently formulating this!!!)

Good Luck at the tables
