  • About time I posted again............

    I haven’t updated for a while as quite honestly I had nothing really to say. I wasn’t playing much (and when I did was playing bad) and was focusing my efforts towards my group. Well enough is enough I need to play now! So I played last night for the...

  • End of August

    Had a nice few days away from Poker with the family. The rest did me good but it wasn't long enough! Had lots to catch up on, so I didn't play much at all over the weekend. I was enjoying going to bed at 11pm, you know being a bit normal for once...

  • 20th August - Oh what a wonderful day

    Wednesday was very busy, but come late evening I had the urge to play. I shouldn't have played really, was too tired, but I did anyway. For a change I played 7 tables of 10 20 on ipoker and then some 10 20 25 50 on betfair. Pretty sick session, and...

  • 18th August

    Was a very busy weekend pokerwise, not playing but helping some of my players. Didn't matter how long I watched for, some still managed to go off the rails when my back was turned. It's pretty frustrating to say the least. I played some on Monday...

  • 13th August

    A 3 hour+ session with John Tab. left me pretty drained for a while but I did get some play in late evening. This time I managed to get on a table with a weak player and 2 low stakes players (there for the weaker player) who were playing with scared money...

  • 12th August

    Daytime was full of sessions for my group including a new format we tried in the afternoon. It worked well and I might run something again on a weekly/bi-weekly basis. In the evening I wasn't sharp enough to play high stakes so I played 3 tables of...

  • 11th August

    11th August Played a little yesterday in the evening while doing a session at the same time. It is always hard to play for long in the evenings as I am way off my A game after the days activities. I managed to win about 4k with no real interesting hands...

  • August 9th

    For a number of reasons I haven't managed to play much at all over the last few days. July seems to have been a very bad month for a lot of people, very similar to December, perhaps its the holidays, I'm not sure why but certainly they are two...

  • Wednesday 6th - Beware of the Betfair technical problems (disconnecting)

    Not really had a chance to play at all this week so no movement in the P&L. Flew to Geneva Tuesday night for a dinner with a friend which was nice. Geneva is a nice city, perfectly located between the mountains and situated next to a lake, it's...

  • Weekend 2/3rd August

    Didn't play so much cash over the weekend, wanted to take some time out after having a rough and bumpy week. Sunday I played a fair few tournaments; Mansion big deal was a disappointment, as was an EPT qualifier on stars, and the APT sat on ipoker...

  • Thursday 17th July - Cloud 9 then back down to earth & arrival of "the Caveman"

    There was an hour yesterday, mid afternoon, when I was on cloud 9. My mentor group was purring like an F1 car; players had taken on board some new things and were bringing home the bacon, big players were winning big, no drunken players - what a dream...

  • Wednesday 16th

    Nothing really interesting to report as I didn't get to play at all on Wednesday - the day was packed with sessions and other mentor group activities. Badbeat welcomed back two old faces today; both are good friends of mine and decent players, well...

  • Bastille Day

    During the late 1780s France was ruled by Louis XVI (I think) who was the reigning monarch. As usual in France, if there is something the people don't like they do something about it! The symbol of the republic was an uprising and storming of Bastille...
