Been a long time....

Sup Guys,

Feels like a lifetime since I've written one of these. Apologies to the regular readers, I have no excuse but laziness. Its been that long since I've posted I don't know where to start. 2011 has been pretty much meh poker wise so far. Winning regularly enough to stay comfortable but absolutely nothing to get excited about. Every big tournament I planned to satellite into fell on shitty weekends where I had some things on and as far as the Irish Open weekend, that became an alcohol induced afterthought. I'm 100% gonna be playing some bigger tourneys in the coming months, no excuses. Summer is coming and after a pretty epic weekend spent with good friends I feel well up for some cards, beginning tonight in the usual voodoo game. Small buy in but whatever, just looking forward to some poker.

As far as my thoughts on the online poker situation in USA, honestly, I just think it's really sad and an absolute sickener for both pros and serious amateur online grinders over there. It did all seem to come as a massive shock but Tilt and Stars were engaging in 'illegal' activity, it sucks but their bubble burst. Me playing live I'm not affected at all really but a tonne of people just lost their earning power and have substantial amounts of money frozen with no clear idea when they will be reimbursed. I heard Dan Cates had $4m in his Tilt a/c on Black Friday, turns out hes probably not the luckiest guy on the planet so....

Speaking of online, I'm thinking of getting back into some grinding online. All my roll is tied up in cash and savings so I might deposit a small-ish amount into a PP a/c and see if I can spin up a nice little roll. Been a while since I've played online with any level of seriousness but it can't do any harm. Maybe 3 tabling two sit n go's and an MTT or maybe some small stakes PLO cash games. So any PP MTT grinders out there there's gonna be a big juicy fish in the water real soon ;)

Just a quick note about a new tournament for any players in Dublin. It's a top up tournament in D1. Players can buy in for €20 for 3k in chips and top up all the way to a stack of 20k with a max spend of €50. This tournament offers so much value for such a reasonable buy in I'd encourage anyone who enjoys playing poker deep to come down, you wont regret it!

Poker aside life is pretty sweet, been getting out pretty much every weekend, new girlfriend and no stresses. Absolutely no complaints.
