well cant afford ,cant justify sadly. really want to be there .its been one of my more successful years as a poker grinder this year but as a lot of my money has been invested into horses and stocks i really don't have the $$$ to get out to the wsop .


watching the updates come in from poker news and really feel as if i want to be there.

this time last year i didn't care for the world series with all the shameful full tilt poker scandal going on.


hopefully i can get out for a prolonged trip to america later in the year when some ventures away from poker pay off. i have been trying to sell a property for about 6months with no avail.

I've been drinking a lot more water of late and been replacing my soda intake this seams to be having a positive impact . i find planning meals ahead lowers my garbage intake of rubbish foods.

I'm finding having horses is very time consuming and makes me want to rail more then play. this is something i need to really to stop doing. i can rail for upto 12 hours on a sunday and play for less then 2hours.

its now 9.20 local time and I've been awake nearly 20 hours I'm starting to feel really tired but have soccer at 1 so going to try stay awake.

good luck to sebastien saffari in the money of the heads up nl and plo today 64remain. swop event 3

ermm not sure there has been too much else to report.

Im mega poor at the minute but I'm as stretched as things can be and hopefully my horses can keep winning me money to relieve me of my poorness . there is always a decent outlay when you take a horse on because its very rare they bink from the start .
they need money to fuel there accounts so you have to basically send them a chunk and see it as an outlay your probably not going to get back anytime soon. (the original stake is kinda always going to be sat in there account until they score enough to go on there own or you have to find them more money because they have bust it)
so after underestimating what i needed for 4 horses and myself to play the games i want to play.
i have had to freeze a horse out of action until i can get enough money to give him some more money. i sent him money then put him in the ukipt then basically run out of money when he dropped money:/ so had to fuck it off until i can afford to reload him(not ideal having a horse in chunk of make up and not being able to keep him in the game)
since then i have been trying to get £££ together to send him but with a load of live costs and life getting in the way i havnt been able to send him more money. one of my longest serving horses is kinda deep so if he gets out a little i should be ok. its actually a juggling act having a stable and I'm learning how to manage 5 bankrolls. the rewards are there if i can do it successfully and I'm as confident in there ability to make money as i am myself.
to be honest they don't really need staking but i think they really like the fact that I'm on hand to talk about hands and help them think about the game in a more direct profitable way. my time i give to them is worth the cut they give me in there eyes.

at one point i was trying to add to my stable with some low stakes recruits but i haven't had the time and the few i did look at via 2p2 were piss poor to say the least. its hard finding the staff :P

anyways congrats to james atkins who i saw at dtd the other month on his supersonic bink the other week 52bags the lucky fuck. this guy has a decent blog and talks about the poker world and is an informative kinda guy .
i love the super sonic tourney and 215 dollars a week is the most fun you can have . I've probably dumped thousands into this comp now but its so addictive. what i love about this comp is its over in less then two hours. no emotional attachment whats so ever

anyways gl anyone at the wsop and il be trying to buy up little pieces of action here or there funds depending . gl at the tables.

well its not often i blog and as I'm hungover its as good a time as ever.
went out yesterday and have been really busy all week decorating my home to put on the market.
my horses havnt really played much this week so I've not really won or lost any moneys.

its my friends 21st on saturday so should be a good messy night.

generally I've been sticking to my new regime of water and less shitty foods but alcohol leads to takeaways and blah blah blah. i don't generally go out too much anyways so its not the biggest of issues but its obviously terrible for my health.

this weeks football was the first time i havnt felt my calf and hamstring twitching to snap so hopefully as I've been more active with been busy its something i have to keep doing . a little excersive everyday and it should keep my muscles and system ticking over better then just been a lazy poker player who rarely leaves his computer screen.

scoop has been a brick. played the 2100 super turbo ko and got nowhere.
the super turbo 6max ko was by far the most fun game I've played in ages though love the format love the bounties and the dynamics it produces
.sadlt couldn't get anything going so its back to bread and butter games for the next few weeks

still undecided about vegas plans no idea if I'm going or not as yet.

well hello people.
i have not really been upto too much .
played footy a little more often with the leeds contingent of poker players trying to get into shape so this has pushed me to play more then once a week.
unlucky for me my body does not want to recover between session as quickly as it should. i mentally feel great about playing more and feel much better after playing but my muscles in my legs just feel like there ready to snap if i try get into full flow while running .
so im kinda turning up but not really getting going and pushing hard to play well and get the most out of the sessions.

food wise i bought myself a lot of fruit on monday.also bought flavoured water hopefully this will deter me from the piss poor diet i generally keep.

scoop personally hasn't really got going so far I've played one low event. not that interested in the lows to be honest fighting thru a million spakkas and having to win countless flips or find cooler situations isn't very appealing(obviously yo get donations in lows but you still have to run good in key spots ).
the mediums look value but I'm under rolled at the minute so i might be selective and maybe flick the turbo type stuff in. i find with the faster structures I'm less emotion about deep runs that might of been
.
i will be participating in the super turbo hi knockout 2100 buy in but with 1k bountys i fancy this comp as the most fun
i think I've won about 1k this week personally but my horses just don't ever seam to win anymore so its less important how I'm running and more important how there running. my results are 1/5 of my stable so its important but not as important as overall stable run good,

i seam to be more productive when i wake up in mornings and grind early days and flick in an afternoon session so this is a schedule i will really try keep .

Its been two years since i was last in vegas so I'm thinking about going out for 90 days and just having a few months relaxing in a sunnier climate. i won't be going until i complete the sale of my place because i don't want it hanging over me when I'm not here to sort it out.

i saw the american pie reunion and i wasn't a great lover of it. i really liked the originals when they aired all them years ago but this just seam to lack something or maybe my humour has changed as I've got older. worth a watch if only to compare it to the originals

i really need to work out how to put pictures on this blog as i have some great pics on my phone that i need to share. i will work it out when i have more time promise.

last but not least I've just started reading a book. some of my friends seam to love trying to pick up woman . this is something i have never really done as woman drive me nuts on the best of days. i was in a long term relationship so part of me feels I'm happy being single at the moment but I'm intrigued a little when i talk to people such as tommy c (SHOUT OUT TO BAD EGG TOMMY who probably has never read this blog )and his thoughts on the picking up women stuff. so I'm reading this book called THE GAME . neil strauss . so far its got my attention and its the first none related poker book I've read over the last ten years.

i have been watching dexter lots and lots of late.
poker has not been so great of late so not really too much to report. my stable of players hasn't being going great . The ukipt pushed my resources a little and with scoop around the corner the stable is on lockdown until i can rebuild my roll to the point of being a little more comfortable .

my peoples are on bread and butter games and i think they find this a little disheartening after failed shots. guess they have to get used to this but part of my job is to try keep morale high and hopefully that leads to happy stable and makes life more enjoyable for us all.

personally i have been slow trying to eat better after i regained the use of my right hand back. i have been cooking a little more fresher food but my hand still feels very sore so its hard to do too much with my hand . at least its not bandaged up with a splint anymore so i can do somethings.
i played football last week on a monday for the first time in about 4 weeks and i was completely wiped out for three days my body just hated it but i enjoyed it a lot even though it was torture for my body .

things will be quiet until scoop now and hopefully i can make some shots pay off.

the shares in the oil exploration company seam to have dived but I'm in mid to longer timescale so going to see how things pan out.

im stuck with a property that i can't sell due to the market being very slow and i cant be bothered with the hassle of letting it out. tempted just to burn it down and claim the insurance money but like everything else that is a good idea its probably going to be illegal . fuck you law and order.

anyways blog out c ya

so my friend frankie binks a satellite into a qualifier for the premier league and then ships the 12man qualifier . 125k worth of seat so its going to be awesome exposure for him and he will be mixing it with the elite who are playin the event.
16 fearsome players participate in the premier league . the price tag of the seat attracts only them with the biggest of bankrolls. its filmed on sky sports in the uk with the premier league format he should get lots of exposure . very excited for the guy as this guy helped me massive a few years ago with confidence .
getting past fear of failure i accept failing is acceptable now and I'm a lot more aggressive with moving up /down stakes and shot taking in a better mind set .
i spent the summer at wsop with frankie 2010 and he lived in leeds for a few years . frankie helped my game massively he gave me the belief to play higher stakes and his desire to grind grind grind and keep pushing the envelope to try win it all is why the guy is awesome. i can talk to frankie and he subtly tells me how i need to be better at life and just do things rather then make excuses .

some people just motivate you and this guy is one of them . its great having him around and i hope this guy WINS The lot because it couldn't be more deserving to anyone.

on a side note i can't let the guy read this and think he is too awesome so a reminder your still ginger :P


BEST OF LUCK FRANKIE . x

well my fav book when i was a child was fantastic mr fox. if u havnt read this its a roald dalh classic about some smart fox who out wits the farmers. i can't even remember if he wins or if he gets made into some fox stew.. anyway I'm redic pissed stuck some nut on some cunt tonight before offer'ing him outside. with one hand it wires it might not be the best thing to do but he was pissing me of all night and /i opted for the line if i can't be arsed arguing lets fight ya lil runt. anyone who follows this blog realises I'm an old fart and past it but il fight to the death for no particular reason to keep face
.


anyways stupidity out lost four hundo with a set and got rubbed down and didn't like it so WAnted to smash his face in and he gave me the ammunition with his remarks to do so. fun times pissed everyone of and had a terrible time.



i realise this isn't a great blog but its what happened so it is what it is. next stop ukipt next month more then likely

so last few weeks what have i been doing with my broken hand?

well as i can barely play any poker with my right hand online(I'm a mass tabling 20 table junkie ) i played a few games here and there but seam to do a lot of timing out using the left hand.

i took on a few poker horses on to keep me in action. I've had a long term horse who is a solid grinder and i have all his action. he grinds sits n i let him shot take at whatever he wants as he always guna grind out of make up.shots have included 700 tcoop event and live poker upto £560 at DTD .

my two new horses are somewhat very different. there good in there own right but busto. they have a few leaks in there thinking but there winning regs if i can keep them in good mental condition. there A game wins and there D game is sucky break even for prolonged periods . hopefully i can help keep them nearer there A game more often with confidence boosting railing and help them get consistency into there games.

as seabeast mentioned in his blog about horses a while ago u can't fundamentally mess around too much with your horses thinking because it often affects the better part of there game in some way or another.
so im tryin to let them get on with it and pulling them up with mega leaky stuff and getting them to play when there feeling good about playing rather then just playing for the sake of it. i think been staked lets them worry less about the money.i have to put up with moaning but guess thats the price to pay for trying to make moneys .

i been a bit leaky of late myself in life -ev gambling on silly stuff more through frustration then anything else. BAD SLOT MACHINES i swear i run at minus 90roi life at these things. never ever punt and get lucky

i bought into shares for the first time in my life. punted like £5000 into something i know absolutely nothing about but my friend said he had chunks invested so thought 5bags would get my juices flowing.
I'm day by day realising most stocks and shares are just a media driven bag of shit that fluctuates for all kinds of reasons out of everyones control. the particular share i bought into is potentially huge if this and that happens . now I'm not sure if its just media hype or what but everyone saying buy buy buy so il see what happens. the shares i have are in the oil industry gulf keystone petroleum. punting on shares in the gulf seams like a nuts thing to do but i guess high risk hi reward is somewhat the plan.


anyways poker been a lot of fun of late. as i can't mass table and print money doing my usual thing i have been dabbling around in the plo . i really enjoy plo but i feel terrible at it. i miss bets everywhere don't have any kind of balance to my play and don't seam to win showdowns however good i get it in .

plo is way more fun and i feel I'm doing ok as in the way I'm approaching the game.

I'm back at hospital tomorrow for my dressing change on my hand so thats the weeks hilight i guess.

next wednesday I've been double invited out for drinks by girl groups. one group is a duet and a lot of fun and the other is a group of nurses all under 25 so choices choices.

not been drinking so much but barely been exercising either. when i get my hand back I'm going to once again make a big drive for fitness . i work way too many hours grinding so I'm going to try make a better routine and stick to it for at least a month. I'm really motivated to do it and i always do ok for a few weeks hopefully this time i get to the next level of fitness and really push the boat . been way too fat for way too long and only i can change this.

anyway much love folks laters x

well the broken hand didn't fix by itself so a month after breaking it the op has been had.

its all wrapped up and in cast for 3 to 5 weeks sadly.

2012 poker wise has seen me take close to 25bags from the game online an no idea how much from live cash as i don't record live results . I won nearly 5700 in a donkament yesterday online and all is going well. i one tabled with my left hand but i get very tired very quickly..

I'm going to play the milly today and then take the next few weeks off.
when I'm not pokering I'm actually very bored cause there isn't much else that consumes me like poker .

everything one handed is hard and I'm going to be glad when the throbbing pains end.

fastening my pants (trousers) is redic tough .

seams the live poker scene is making me enemys. cause they all play so bad my creative moves are out of line with peddling nuts like the bulk of people so I'm fast becoming a hated figure in my local card room. they don't understand why i reshove garbage in good spots so wen i crack there nutted hands I'm the worst player ever and have to deal with the regs telling me how bad i am.
the back biting against me adds unknowns to listen to people bitching and take dislike to me for no reason.
my inability to do savers for bubble people adds to people hating me more so. i don't play loads live just a few games a week to relax. somehow i have 3finals to my name during the league and 5 exact bubbles (11th) I'm losing in there 2012 but its low stakes so w/e
so bubbles happen an i don't really care but not giving the bulk of people savers makes me a hated man. people forever telling me bout people bitching behind my back.it drains morale and i take great insult at being disrespected for playing within the rules .
there very hatred against me for no real reason or logic does upset me as its personal .

its not ideal because all i want to do is play cards and love the game ..

part of me thinks fuck em but part of me just wants to be accepted. no one in there can break a hand down and go into any depth of thought(there is a cash game player called pell in there who is way ahead of the game in there so i respect him cards wise) so i don't see the need to talk hands at the table or educate people. I'm very good at poker is what the past tells me but its no indication of the future. i believe in what I'm doing and i will do it until my results don't put food in my belly. I've had downers self doubts and been owned but the game still is a lot of fun generally.

my friend neppy deals with none of the hatred i do so at times i think why me.. but then i think fuck it why not me. bring on the heat haters an let me rub your $$$ on my titties

who would of thought but there is a woman laying on my bed...............

doubled bankroll in one of them silly tourney things. ship the cheeeeese
