Thrilla in Manila!

I’ve been thinking about playing a couple of qualifiers to the APT in Manila on Titan recently. Its so frickin cold here at the moment that I can't think of anything better then spending a week in sunny Manila in icy January!

Of course i'm insanely confident I'll get there and then take it down :) that you should check out my progress over at PokerListings.com. It has this great live poker update feature for all the major live tournaments.

Even if I don't take it down, at least you'll know who the winner is!

The 5 Hour challenge!

Me, Myself and StackTown

Its been a while, in fact more than a while, its been bloody ages since I really posted here on a regular basis.

To those that still drop by, i’m sorry.

Two things I want to share.

First, I’m still playing poker, playing NL50 at the mo and not running to well. I get paint in the hole, board is all low, i play low suited connectors, the board is all paint. And so the cycle has been repeating for the last 3000 hands. Which although isn’t a huge sample is a long time in my poker world as I’m not playing as often as I would like to. Plus I can only lame ass 3 table so its a slow grind!

Second thing is, I’m still hugely enjoying the poker community, so I have decided to start a new site called ‘StackTown’

StackTown is a combi blog news site where I want to look at the lighter side of poker. Imagine interesting titbits’ of poker info, poker news and my poker life blended together into something that I hope you find enjoyable.

So, if you are still out there, still reading then please pop across to StackTown

Thanks everyone

update, whoop!

been finding my poker feet again lately on titan. so far so good although things could have gone a little better, my aces full of fours was obv going down to quad 4's, sigh!

will share some more once i sort out a few things like poker tracker 3, anyone used it? any good?

also found the following blog which has been making me laugh over the last couple of weeks, one/angry/kid

worth a gander if you're feeling a little angry!

less than a week until vegas!

getting myself set for vegas now, i leave early next week for my whirlwind 3 day business + pleasure trip.

i'll be staying at mandalay bay which i'm quite happy about as it looks pretty cool from what i've seen. no idea if they have a poker room, i'll suss that out on the ground otherwise i'll head to the bellagio.

also organising a table at tao as well. a friend has a fair few contacts in vegas so is sorting that stuff out.

other then that its going to be a mad dash between meetings and the felt.,,or the slots if i'm really time pressed.

it will be a good first taster regardless and since my total expenditure for the trip will equal what i lose, if i lose, you can't really beat that!

lets hope i hit a lucky streak while i'm there
