Sexy Time!

 Thought that would get your attention, but I’m afraid there are no such piccies here, this is a family site don’t you know… Instead, I’m afraid you’re left with my account of the Master Classics in Amsterdam, which will undoubtedly captivate you to an extent that no naked lady could ever realistically reach.

Back On The Air

 Having just returned home from Dublin, I’m back on the road (or air) for yet more poker festivities, this time the Master Classics in Amsterdam. In fact, I’m on my way down to London now in preparation for my flight tomorrow. Wasn’t a good start though, I was running a bit late and what was the first thing the taxi driver sa...

End Of The Line

 Last weekend was rather a sad weekend as it was the last Poker 425 trip with the closure of the channel. However we did finish up on a nice note with a lovely trip to Paris. The staff were great as always. When Cameraman Dan was asked if he'd been before, he said no and got out his ID, they turned to me and said, "We know you have been b...

The Bill - A Beagle's Perspective

 As you should all know, the ‘Unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act’ was passed late one Friday night before finally being signed by George Bush, thereby confirming the new legislation as law.

Gutshot Challenge: Event 5 - £50 NLH F/O

 What is it with the poker world that they feel the urge to add a pithy low stake comp at the end of a festival? I’m not complaining, just wondering why all festivals follow the same pattern.

Gutshot Challenge: Event 4 - £500 NLH F/O Main Event

 Opportunities to play in a Main Event can be few and far between for many players, but when you work weekends, it becomes a virtual impossibility, especially with satellites predominantly being Saturday or Sunday evening affairs. However, this was my week off, and at £500, the London Poker Masters’ Main Event was an affordable cha...

Gutshot Challenge: Event 3 - £200 PLO F/O

 Although I was planning on playing the whole week, I decided that a good performance in the Main Event was more important to me than trying to play every event unnecessarily, so, with the ‘big en’ only 24 hours away and 2 tough days of poker behind me, I thought it best to take a much needed and richly deserved day-off.

Happiness Is Hampstead Shaped

 I went to London last week to play the Gutshot challenge. It was right up my street buy-in wise, consisting of a £200 on the Wednesday, a £100 on the Thursday, and a £500 main event at the weekend. All were two-day events, all were freeze-outs. There was also a £200 Omaha on the Friday, but I decided to make that my re...

Gutshot Challenge: Event 2 - £100 NLH F/O

 This blog entry may have arrived a few days after the last, but the actual time-gap between the two Events was little over an hour. Delighted with my performance in the £200er, but equally disappointed at failing to make the big bucks, I decided to celebrate/commiserate with even more poker – and this time my poison was Event 2&rs...

Gutshot Challenge: Event 1 - £200 NLH F/O

 After a vomit inducing roller-coaster ride online in which my bankroll endured fluctuations that would bring a tear to Phil Ivey’s eye (okay, maybe tikay’s instead), I set myself a little challenge… -- give the online tables a seven day rest and play the whole of the Gutshot week --
