[ ] Bi weekly. Lazy Cat.

Yes, laughably i have failed once again to keep my blog regular. I just seem to get distracted so easily by the various other things in life I enjoy - mainly drinking, pokering and eating.



Anyway, here's a quick recap of what I've been up to poker-wise and otherwise.

I'm back in Brighton and enjoying escaping from London once again. I'm currently staying with James Dempsey aka Flushy aka Super Moeron.

I shared a flat with Flushy for a couple a years a few years ago and he hasn't really changed much. He still sucks at the pokerz although occasionally he binks some massive result to get him out of it.

Last year his winning year was almost entirely down to the SCOOP series on Pokerstars. During the series he put together an impressive three final table appearances, including a second place in the Main Event, good for about 200k or so. MBN...

There was some kind of snazzy watch for first though, so it's always fun to semi-mock Flushy by asking him the time before interrupting with mock realisation "Oh, sorry of course, you don't know. You haven't got a watch."

Never miss an opportunity to mock flushy.

He cleaned up nearly $300k in the series as a whole, pretty impressive, although when you consider the 200k or something he was up for the year was almost entirely down to one result, it gives you some idea of the variance involved in tournament poker.

One or two big results over the course of thousands of tournaments can make or break a poker player's year. One big flip here or there can mean the difference between a break even or a $200k+ year which is why playing poker is clearly a game of skill.

:)

Anyway the SCOOP is coming round again so I'll be taking my shot at collecting a watch and binking a fortune myself. I've had a couple of results in recent times on fugu - cake poker network which has raised my confidence somewhat with 2nd in the $10k grtd $10r and 1st in the $7.5k $5r in consecutive nights, good for $1.9k and $1.7k respectively.

Let's get binking people!
