Doubles In Dublin

 Apart from the World Series, this last January was probably my most hectic month to date. First stop of the year was the Irish Poker Championships in Dublin where the Guinness is always flowing (like having a meal, so they say) and the shots are always doubles.

Jam & Sardines

 What a month, and what an eventful start to the year! With all these new events, the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour in particular springs to mind, I knew it was going to be hectic, and I wasn’t wrong. I have quite a few anecdotes to tell, and I shall do so as we move into February, but with the Irish Poker Championships, the inaugural Grosveno...

A Night In The Closet

 Tonight I experienced something that not only shocked me, but upset me at the same a time, not because of what I witnessed, but the unexpected way in which I handled that specific situation.

Phew

 Since the ban was implemented on my site of choice, my income has depleted dramatically with the lack of numbers, and therefore weaker players, turning my sessions into a right grind.

The 2006 Beagle Awards

 THE 2006 BEAGLE AWARDS 
Greetings all and welcome to the inaugural Beagle Awards in which I have 19 special awards to, well… award. Everyone seems to be doing these at the moment, so, being the bandwagon jumper that I am, I felt it would be a shame not to steal a piece of the pie. We might not have Jonathan Ross or Billy Cry...

A New Year Begins...

 Well, another year down, and what a year it was! In a totally self-absorbent way, I would say that it has been the best year of my life. Becoming a shareholder at Blonde Poker, travelling across Europe to update various live events, going to Vegas and playing a WSOP Event and, of course, meeting Dana.

It's All About Timing

 For the first time in 25 years, I wasn’t looking forward to Christmas and what used to be the most anticipated date in the snoopy calendar had finally become nothing more than an arduous task. Perhaps it’s that middling age where you don’t have kids to please and you’re not young enough to get excited, I’m not su...

Resorting To Drugs & Prostitutes

Apologies for the delay in entries, but I’ve been snowed under with work and unable to give my blog the attention it warrants. And after such a good start since my return to online poker, I am disappointed that I haven’t had the opportunity to back up my fine form with more sessions. However, although I bemoan my lack of time, perhaps i...

Home Sweet Home

 Sometimes you have to play to your strengths, and seeing as though I’ve been winning regularly online for the last year, I thought it best to focus my attentions on my online cash.

My Midlands Mission - Mission Accomplished

 After the calamity of the Wednesday £300er at Walsall in which I quite literally gave away a near two thirds of my stack on an ill-timed, impatience-induced and totally unnecessary bluff, I took a good long hard look at my game and attempted to fathom what the next step should be.
