High Stakes For The Win!

Been over a month since my last post, reasons??.......Playing poker, Watching poker, and trying to have a little bit non poker related fun (it does exist if u give it a chance :D)

No results to speak of, cashed in local tourney, playing cash in local casino! Which is quite a lively game these days, blinds of £1-and £1, but usual raises £6-£12 range, it is actually like a $3-$6 or even $5-$10 game essentially. (providing the right mix of players are in the mood!)

In summation, a little bit here and there online (profit) a little bit here and there live (down a little bit for the month)

Anyway forget all that, I have started to watch all the GSN high stakes poker seasons again, seriously THANK GOD FOR THIS SHOW :P As entertainment goes, (particularly if u love poker!) It is unmatched, I think Poker After Dark is amazing as u see effectively a full 6 handed sit and go (i.e all their folds etc, like 90% of the hands)

But high stakes is just the business, Gabe Kaplan is a comic genius... "I know poker players that lose a $1.40 and can't sleep" "Hey AJ, do u ever just throw money around? I do some days I just go mad and buy a toaster, or even tip the valet guy $2, just cos I can"

The new season is due out soon, I seriously cannot wait!!

(Just thinking!! Jesus christ it means that much to me!! :D)

Upcoming events, Paul Hendo's home game, should be another great game, made the final table last two times i've played there, great game, great group of poker players together, drink, karaoke and food.

I really do not know where u can have a great night for a £50 + one add on or rebuy, plus u can get close to a grand if u win!! If anyone knows of a better poker night, I'd like to see it.

Planning on really kicking up the grind online towards the end of the month and for the whole of March, have a few targets and goals, multi-tabling.

I MUST ALSO PLAY MORE MTT'S ONLINE, I HAVE NOT PLAYED ONE IN OVER A MONTH AN THAT IS NOT RIGHT! :D

To close, sad to see Gala cancelled the GCBPT this year, terrible. It was a great tour, with great games, and the main events had good structures.

Positive, the Grosvenor have a summer series in Aberdeen, £200, £300 and £500 games, will definitely play the £500 game. Depends on structure of the other ones.

Good Luck at the tables, life is good ;) xxxxx
