This is my chosen lady, Suzanne. Say hi.

Iv been a busy boy. Whilst not losing substantial sums of money in Luton cash games iv been having a good time of it online. DTD are undergoing changes to their Trader scheme which has left me lots more time to enjoy the finer things in life, namely shooting and live poker. Been playing a fair bit on nikinblinds and have spent most of this weekend on Poker Tracker fiddling about with all the bits of kit on there. Must have taken 2 hours before i finally uploaded the hand histories.

Newcastle was great. Met up with lots of top people and had a fun time of it. Sadly didnt manage to sample the Newcastle nightlife as hoped so doubt ill be updating again (where's the perks and all that? :) but enjoyed my time just the same. Thanks to BlueSQ for that one. Met Mr Romanello and the rest of the Welsh boys, top lads all of them. Also finally met the legend Wernick who took me for a spot of sightseeing one night. We got Dina on film in lady company. :) Happy Days.

Havent been updating this blog too much lately as its dawned on me i only have about 5 regular readers. You know who you are, and thanks for keeping the hits going up. Might do some pimping to other blogs, after all i set this site up initially for no other reason than to hopefully sell advertising space in the future and let my freinds/family (offline and on) follow my progress. This has amounted to a link to the Arsenal website and my Mum finding out how much money iv lost. So equally i might not go linking to any old top dick and harry.

Been playing a coupld of £50-£100 Luton comps for fun lately. It IS enjoyable (i keep telling myself that) but i hate the fact that you can be 100% certain ur the best player at the table, but still only have room for one or 2 mistakes. I am very happy with my overall play at the moment, one leak that i have noticed is im playing to much when tired, so ill prolly stop playing live cash once it gets past 1am. I dont want to return to staying out till 6am every night, no good for life.

The Luton GUKPT is coming up and with it a sense that i really should be playing this. My record at Luton has recently dropped off, namely the last 6 comps iv entered iv gone nowhere, but at least iv gone there fast. Not in my gameplan to grind. But its coming back to me. I forgot how to play against stations is all. And remembered that mixing it up against weak players isnt clever. Keep clever plays next to clever players, play abc tag against the plonkers of this world. I will be playing the £100 NLFO, the £200 NLFO W AO and ill prolly play the £500 if i can sell 50% of my action or run well in cash. I cannot justify spending £1000 on a single tournament where i have little/no edge on the field. Of course ill try a few satellites, live if i cant do any online, but the fact remains that this GUKPT comp is something that i "should" be playing. I know the players, they dont know me. How good can you get it?
