• Strummer9's Diary - Week 90 - Wednesday 27th

  Wednesday 27th The plan: To chill out and leave the poker alone. Maybe have a leisurely game of golf. The reality: more f**king ranting and more stress! Knowing the A game wasn't going to be around today. Due to my current 'angry' state of... Posted Feb 27 2008, 01:08 PM by Strummer with no comments

• Strummer9's Diary - Week 90 - Tuesday 26th

  Tuesday 26th The good thing is it was another winning day and the month has turned into a good month, and the big black hole of 2008 has been filled in. The bad news - well, the bad news is i've got my angry head on and if i've got the angry head... Posted Feb 26 2008, 01:13 PM by Strummer with no comments

• Strummer9's Diary - Week 90 - Monday 25th

  Monday 25th A fully blown case of fuckmondayitus. I think it was mainly a result of Sunday. So, instead of work, I pegged off with a couple of friends and went playing golf instead. Now don't get me wrong, I played rotten but nowhere near as rotten... Posted Feb 25 2008, 01:58 PM by Strummer with no comments

• Strummer9's Diary - Week 89 - Sunday 24th

  Sunday 24th Every Sunday is the same. I lose and I lose good. I have a pretty standard routine on Sundays and I think it needs reviewing because there are no two ways about it....Sundays are the biggest losing day for me by a mile. Sunday schedule: 1...

• Strummer9's Diary - Week 89 - Friday 22nd

  Friday 22nd No play during the day today. After this week it was only right that I had a few beers with boys in the afternoon followed by a nice meal with the family.

• Strummer9's Diary - Week 89 - Thursday 21st

  Thursday 21st One of my goals this year is to go through the 12 months without smashing a lap top up. So far i'm on course....but only just! Not only does it still amaze me just how bad/stupid some players are, I am also still even more amazed by... Posted Feb 21 2008, 02:11 PM by Strummer with no comments

• Strummer9's Diary - Week 89 - Wednesday 20th

  Wednesday 20th I'm so out of touch! I've only just checked out the results from the GUKPT Walsall event and seen that my buddy Jeff Kimber has come up trumps AGAIN!! Nice work fella.

• Strummer9's Diary - Week 89 - Tuesday 19th

  Tuesday 19th Not too much time for the game today as family drama in the real world take over! In the space of four days my mum's husband, my gran and a good friend all end up being rushed to hospital - real life can be so f**king unkind. So the daily...

• Strummer9's Diary - Week 89 - Monday 18th

  Monday 18th One of the most frequently asked questions from within the mentor group is 'when do you stop playing?'. Be it a winning session or a losing session, for me it comes down to a number of reasons. The main reason for me to stop would... Posted Feb 18 2008, 02:15 PM by Strummer with no comments

  Sunday 17th Another beautiful early spring morning to round off a beautiful week. So I drove over to St Anne's for a some fresh sea air and a over sized over priced fish n chips. It was about the time I stood up from the meal that the back went! The... Posted Feb 17 2008, 02:16 PM by Strummer with no comments

• Strummer9's Diary - Week 88 - Thursday 14th

  Thursday 14th What a piss poor *** of a day. If I could get it any more wrong than I have today... well if I do it's time to give up. The (now) standard losing morning session got under way very quickly with me calling a five bet all in for 100BB... Posted Feb 14 2008, 02:20 PM by Strummer with no comments

• Strummer9's Diary - Week 88 - Wednesday 13th

  Wednesday 13th Another day of big swings and sound profit. Its something i've pondered and worked at a lot over the last months. That is try to start sessions slower so I don't find myself in a hole before i've started, but no matter how I... Posted Feb 13 2008, 02:26 PM by Strummer with no comments

• Strummer9's Diary - Week 88 - Tuesday 12th

  Tuesday 12th Bloody hell what a day!! The sickest day of all time followed by one of my biggest up swings off all time and finishing the day in profit as well as a state of shock. Playing six tables, I know i'm going to see far more sickness than... Posted Feb 12 2008, 02:27 PM by Strummer with no comments
