New year new dreams

Hi there feline followers.

No posts for a while while i wiled away the hours grinding my bankroll steadily up.

This is going to be jsut a quick post witha few random thoughts just sos you know I'm still alive!

Ok last year, finished up with just shy of $50k profit over the year. Pretty poor effort i would say although taking roughly 2 months out where i played no poker didn't help. This year I aim to beat this but I'm not setting a figure so the pressure isn't there.

One thing I'll be doing early on is assessing which parts of poker I'm strongest at.

I aim to play 100 stts, 100 Hu games, 100 hours of omaha hi lo cash, 50 nl he tournaments and see how my ROI, hourly rate etc compare for all of these. I've already put 21 stts away and I'm running v good so far but I'll reveal the results when I've completed all this. Should be interesting reading and analysis for me at least. If you get bored shitless reading it well FU kipper that's life!

Other aims for the year include....getting fit. Ive started doing some running and every day doing some weights and pressups so hopefully i can keep up this regime and stop myself falling into the classic poker player's trap of becoming fat and ouot of shape due to the sedentary lifestyle. Hopefully I'll be in a position of running a half marathon by the end of the year, which will be a big improvement as I ran 2 miles the other day and very nearly collapsed. I've chucked smoking again as well so I'll be concentrating hard on not picking the old cancer sticks up again.

I also had the pleasure of meeting the claimer/ action man/ rick trigg recently. He was down for the brighton festival and occupied the couch at our flat while he was here.

I've always had a laugh with him online so thought he would be a giggle and indeed we had a good craic. I'm slightly concerned that he is modelling his behaviour on Tony G as he will often be heard bellowing "What is this? " and "Justice" at particular poker situations but he's a good guy and even found time to give me a successful horse tip. N1 fella!

He's currently involved in a challenge with portfolio to see who performs best this month in the nightly tribeca $15k and $20k grtd tournaments. Both very good players, I expect portfolio to get more cashes but rick to have the edge in high places. Should be interesting to see who comes out on top. Gl both.

Anyway, that's about it for now. I'll try and be more regular this month,(in my blog, i don't mean ill be eating more bran flakes) and I'm painfully aware I haven't mocked any kippers for a bit.

Don't fret, I am still committed to exposing kipperiness in all its forms. Expect mockery soon!

Take it easy and good luck for the new year kippers!
