KNOCKING IT IN!!

Since my last post I have been knocking it in in spades, not to a level that I used to obv but just losing every flip I was betting on and if over the weekend you were laying against my selections then you would have done well.

My Dubai betting balance is now ZERO!!!! but its not all bad as from a starting balance of zero I have cashed out well over a grand and also entered a UKIPT from it  but it all went south in the following fashion.

Thurs Evening
£200 on a Bazza Neville dog tip that was backed in from fairly prohibitive odds 13/8 we were on at 6/4 and in Dubai's words we needed to clear T1 but it missed thebreak and got smashed up!

Saturday
Fancied Stoke/Chelsea to draw and doubled with S'Land West Ham U2.5 goals  £80  (you can start to see how were running already)

B.Kee any time scorer Burton v Torquay double with Northampton to Draw/Win  GG another £80
these ironed out the remaining balance and in addition my own fancies were

£30 win and £90 place on Haadeeth which got mullered and finished with a rattle but was 5th and needed top3
£50 on Goals Galore with a £20 £20 £10 investment and only a £20 treble landed for and £80 return which I tried to spin up by backing

Under Points in the first NFL playoff game Sat night and it was GG then onto Sunday where

I fancied over 3.5 goals in the Man Utd v Liverpool game and had £100 at 13/8 then when the game got dull staight after 2-1 hedged half my stake back and a few miins later decided to green out but as was doing it on my phone thought I was matched to find out it had not got matched so was left with a £50 loss from the initial £100 and finall I backed Atalanta at -8.5 vs Seattle which looked good till the 4th qtr and that was it for the weekend.

Back to small stakes punting now to rebuild the roll  Sad

    Been thinking about my goals/hopes for 2013 and obv life is gonna change again with our 2nd baby being due in the middle of March which is going to mean less travelling for poker events as we dont have a massive family network to help Petra out so I will be very selective in the events I play and will play more locally but am not interested in the local donkaments and am going to switch direction to online and live cash so here are my goals and again I shall review them honestly come 2014

  • Cash and have a deep run in a UKIPT - I have played 5 of these (obv miniscule sample but have only made day2 once) and although I may only play 3-4 UKIPT's this year I am gonna try v v hard
  • Post more on PHA - to develop my game but also situations that are bound to occur in the games I shall be playing, I was always worried of flaming in PHA but posted itt this week first in and Cambridge Alex and Tommy Langley both agreed which gives confidence to post more
  • Train 3 x week for 8 months of 2013 - as last year I only trained when I needed to and although in half decent shape for St.Kitts really want to get my body fat% down as for me it's about look as opposed to weight *further update to follow
  • Satelite into a foreign event ie a Unibet or St.Kitts style event
  • Play online at John Black stakes of /10c & 10c/25c and at the end of 6months review total hands played and overall stats before seeking some coaching based on volume which will help with the next goal
  • Become a decent winner in the local £1/1 cash game in Southend as on the few occasions I am there and have played have always done well (in before variance) and there is not a Reggy feel to the games so in theory this should be good for me
  • Be in Prague at the end of 2013 with Team Eureka and use it as a family holiday so Petra and the kids can be in Slovakia with the in-laws and I can dot back and forth
  • Most importantly to be a good Husband and Dad to my amazing family in 2013

So that's me for 2013  GL me again!!

      Good Start at work just like last year funny enough with about £18k of sales fees in the book already after we sold this house on the same day it came to market for £540'000

      and then the vendors bought this house for £735'000 for a nice £13k chain

      It's very busy at work atm which is good and after I get back from Edinburgh next week I will have to crack on with the mini promotion and work out how to run the 2 offices effectively but have recruited the staff I need already and they start 1/2.


      Really looking forward to a break in Scotchland and Vinny has let me down by not coming but as he is still a legend I shall partake in a Black Pudding supper in his honour and take pics as proof. I was going to drive but with the bad weather forecast decided to fly instead so should be joined by Sammy Mac for the journey if he booked the right flight  Smiley

      Had a winner last night as called a bet in with Dubai on Brentford to beat Southend and had £225 @ 13/20 and despite Southend equalising would have been mortified if we didnt collect as Brentford had about 30 shots on goal and missed a pen.

      Out at Luton G tonight for a meal with Vinny, nirvana and Claypole then early start to Stanstead where we hope for a decent result....

      Been working on Max's new bedroom for a while now and whilst we were in St.Kitts it was replastered and the wardrobes and toy trunk built in by a chippy and since then I sanded and varnished the floor, painted ceiling, pic rail and walls and then painted his wardrobes, shelving and toy trunk and at all stages let Max see what is going on as he is moving from a single room to a big room and a big bed in the next few weeks so that he is acclimatised to it in readiness for baby no2 coming so we have him settled.

      Here he is showing you the room and also at the end you can see him learning to be a footballer and he is growing up in the Gareth Bale mould Tongue
