Called all in preflop with 88 for the chip lead vs a super aggressive opponent. He flips over K 7 hearts. Awesome. The flop - K 2 6. Yup, I'm really starting to dispise 88. No quarter finals for me :-( ... Read more

Slow played my straight draw 4 6 on K 5 7 flop, by checking flop behind. Opponent had A 8. Turn is an 8, I bet, he calls. River is ace, he bets I raise.. - Happy days! About to start the next game, win this one and it'll be the quarter finals next... ... Read more

Okay, after my close run in to the final table at the 10k limit event, I decided that it was time to enter my favourite type of poker - Heads Up. The 10k Heads Up event consists of the best Heads Up players from all over the world, and I want to play alongside them, and hopefully prove that I'm better ;-P Obviously this is an incredibility high variance tournament, even more so than your average tournaments, but none-the-less, I can not possibly let this one pass me by... ...

Day 1 went pretty well. The starting field was so weak it was brilliant. Only 2 others on the table had a clue what they was doing. A PokerStars Pro that I've played with several times before, and a Chinese kid next to him... ... Read more

After a short little 10 hour flight, here I am in Vegas ready for the WSOP.. Drinks anyone?? ... ... Read more

Well, summerising - I didn't win. The hands were nothing special. Win some lose some. Ireland falls under the category of 'lose some'. However I did.. ... Read more

Finally, an offline poker event which I don't have to fly for 30 hours to get to. It's time for the Irish Open. I arrived in Dublin yesterday after a 40 minute flight, and was soon comfortably in the hotel having a few vodka's. 888 had arranged a fun day for us, first a tour of the Guinness factory, then once they had managed to get us drunk enough, some Irish dancing. Yes, you did read that correctly, Team888 had a whole three hour long Irish dancing session. No, we're not sissies. ... Read more

Starting off the day with the quarter finals..Best off 3. My first game was against a friendly Australian pro. He talked a lot, and since it was the quarter finals, I couldn't put my ipod on to blank him out. Which unfortunately just encouraged him to talk even more! ... Read more

Well actually, kind of sour.. ... Read more

Lets see what Prague has to offer.. We decide to do some wondering around the city. In desperate need of some breakfast, and being very cultured of course, we end up for a slap up meal in KFC! Needless to say, it was delicious! Next a wonder round the shopping centre, where we all end up getting some free condoms?!? and our picture taken by the strange people giving these out. I knew it was my lucky day! ... Read more

So there are generally two ways to write this blog. There is the aggressive side of every poker player that makes them want to hurl abuse and obscenities at the moron sat next to them.. And then there is the professional courteous side, which double taps the table and politely says "Nice hand" to the moron sitting next to them, who somehow the basic law of maths, probability, or common sense don't apply to. Of course, as this is a blog piece, and not some discussion I'm having with a few close friends, I will give the polite/courteous version of today's events. ... Read more

With only one week to go to EPT Prague, I'm already looking forward to the trip. It will be great to meet up with the Team again, and meet the members I don't already know. I've only heard good things about Prague, so hopefully I'll get a chance to look around. But then again, if I'm in the tournament right the way through the holiday, I won't be complaining either ;-) Roll on Prague!... Read more
