All this talk of outdraws and down swings im sure is just producing more outdraws and down... Posted Aug 20 2008, 08:46 AM by Strummer with 1 comment(s)

  What a bloody weekend. Had four good winning days on the run setting me up nicely for the weekend. Weekend poker is a strange old world, with lots of drunken and hobby players theres alot of dead money out there- but if they hit it can be seriously exspensive...

  The up swing continues, nothing major just a few buy ins here and there, but slowly im pulling it back. Over the last few days ive pulled back 25% of the down swing, considering the down swing was over 6 weeks to pull back 25% of it over 4 days is some...

  The down swing hit 50 buy ins on Monday- a huge swing in anyones book- but let me whisper this- i think i might be turning the corner!

  If i told you i lasted 2 hours in a 3 day event you would have an argument in saying that i probably played to agrresive or too fishy. In the past this may have been true but not yesterday it wasnt! When i had my purple patch in 2006 at live events my... Posted Aug 09 2008, 09:19 AM by Strummer with 6 comment(s)

  Lets start with the obvious-im still doing my bollox, im still being shafted and im still ending every session with a full buy in blow off due to stress related tilt. The sickness is bloody bad- but i will state for the 100th time : IT WILL F**KING TURN... Posted Aug 06 2008, 07:52 PM by Strummer with 1 comment(s)

  Is there no end to this bollox!!!? Another weekend of pain and the losing streak just keeps on rolling. This time last year was when i had my last real heavy bad spell and i like to think i learnt alot from that, mainly realising that i have to keep focused...
