When i switched my lappy on on Monday afternoon i was greeted somewhat surprisingly and may i add slightly worryingly by an email from some bird called Aisling who works for SkyPoker asking me if i wanted to do an interview about my blog and experiences in poker. I was like WTF, surely someone is having me on and trying to set me up or summat??? I mean who the fuck wants to listen to and chat to a little fish like me about my ghey bummer blog? So, i decided to investigate this further and logged onto the Blonde Forum to check if it wasn't a wind up. Sure enough there was a post on there from the same bird asking the Blonde fishays about the best poker blogs on the net and some of them fish had suggested my blog, lmfao. Here is the email from Aisling...

Hi,

We’re doing an item on poker blogs – and according to the people in the know – yours is the poker blog to read!

Would you be interested in coming down to the studios and talking about it…? (Obviously we’re a “family” show so we can’t talk about the more risque elements to your blog – although they are bloody funny – but we’d love to chat to you about your poker experiences.

The recording date is this Wednesday (8th). I understand that you’re based in Watford – which is about 30 mins from the studio which is in Feltham – near Heathrow.

Look forward to hearing from you

Aisling

So, i got in contact with this Aisling bird and after chatting to her and giving it a few minutes thought i was like yeah fuck it, why not??? I arrived at the studios at about 1.30ish today and was immediately whisked off to the make up room to get my nose powdered which i obv quite enjoyed. I'm not that much of an ugly bastard btw, its just standard procedure for us tv celebritays to wear make up what with the glare from all the camera's and studio lights etc. Once i had my face on i was escorted by the lovely Aisling (wp btw Rookie, she's quite hot) to the studio where i met the two geezers who were interviewing me, Dan Lobb and Matt Broughton. These pair of fish were quite funny and abit of a comedy duo and it was more like a general chat about my blog and poker exploits, nothing serious.

I don't think i came across as too much of a tool, i just hope my chubby chops will fit into people's television screens at home, they do say the camera adds at least 10 pounds anyway :-) I was asked questions like how did i start blogging, what do i write about lol, what other blogs do i read, aswell as other general stuff like the stakes i play, what got me into poker etc. Like i said hopefully i don't look and sound too much of a mug, although Dan Lobb stumped me on one question and i did stutter abit like a complete plum, i'll guess i will have to let you bastards decide. The interviews (i done two btw) will prob be shown on SkyPoker at 8.30ish on The Club on either Monday and/or Wednesday channel 865 or alternatively i think you can watch it online with about a 5 second delay here. Right im off, i gotta go sign some autographs, laters fish.

Last week full time poker fish, fellow blogger and general all round piss artist Animal invited me to join him as his guest on a $10k package trip he won online to the Caribbean Poker Classic Cruise next month and after realising what the piss head was actually on about a few days later i was like yeah fuck it, why not? weeeeeeeeeeeeeee. The one and only time i met that fish Animal was about 4 yrs ago in Cardiff when i made my television debut and 'starred' on a programme called Late Night Poker Ace which was later aired on Ch4. Since then we have kinda stayed in contact through our blogs and via msn although i ain't met the fish once since Cardiff lol. Im sure we will get on fine though as long as he don't get too lashed and try to rump me on the cruise. Cheers for the invite mate, i can't fucking wait!

All i have to do is sort myself out a flight to Miami where i am gonna meet Animal at The Hilton after he gets back from a holiday in Vegas, alright for some innit. All the accommodation and munch is paid for as part of the package, here's a brief itinerary of the trip, check it. Im prob gonna play two or three of the tourns which is obv a big deal for a little mincey fish like me so i might look for some small stakeage deals hopefully from some peeps on either the RTR or Blonde forums. Gonna be visiting some lush places on the trip and the cruise ship looks the bollocks! It should all be confirmed tomorrow but Animal don't reckon there will be any problems, happy days!! On the online front October has started pretty well although today was a complete fucking write off....

On Friday i weren't really in the mood to play tbh and i didnt plan on regging for many tourns. I only invested about $250 in a few MTT's but ended the night with a $2.3k profit!! I got a 2/257 in a $33 for $1,257 on Party, a 3/308 in a $33 on Cardoza for $877 and also won a $26 45 manner on ftp for $410. The sick thing is i was actually disappointed at the end of the night because i made a bad call HU when all i could beat was air but i called with three queens and oppo had a str8 although i 'knew' i was beat. Here is the HH, fucking dickhead Jones! I also massively overplayed a shitty ace when we were three handed in the Cardoza game against the tightest fish on the tarble which prob cost me the win aswell, grrrr. I should have ended the night with a $5k profit although i guess i can't really complain with a 'measly' $2.3k :-)

I didn't play on Sat and tonight i ran like utter shizz although again i ain't really complaining, as i was due a bad night and i expect many more, its inevitable. However, again i made one really shit play with this time with AA when i was CL with 16 left in a $109 mtt that really fucked me off. One limper, i obv raise and some other fish flats behind me, three to a flop of Q109 2 clubs. Fucking abs tez flop but first fish checks i bet and the other fish min raises. I tanked to the very last second then made the crazay decision to blast and got snapped by QQQ, such a shit play but i couldn't call or rraise and then fold. I was hoping for some sort of pair and a draw type hand like KQ or QJ as the donks usually love to flat with shit like that. However, i should have given the oppo more respect and if thats the hand im hoping for at best then im still only a coinflip. I obv didnt spike and bullet (i run sooo bad) and was quickly down to about 11 bb's. Very next hand i blast the button with AJ and the sb who has about 100 more chips than me snaps with A9, wtf? The fucking neuf pops and im gone, from CL to fucking busto in two fucking hands. Even though im aware that things can quickly change in poker its a good reminder of how volatile the game can be as i thought i was cruising to the final tarb. I don't mind the bad beats, actually thats a lie of course they piss me off esp the ones where the fish play soo awful and get rewarded but i get waaay more fucked off when i play bad and make poor decisions and the AA hand was a deffo fold on that flop, no point risking it imo, doh.

The rest of the night was a compete nightmare with AA getting cracked aipf three times aswell as loads of other prem hands getting shafted when i had the best of it. My only cash for the night was in the trusty $5r and i werent even taking that seriously. Oh, and i also tid the bloggerment game 1/15 for $37.50, shiiiiiip. Oh well nevermind, ill save the rest of my luckboxing skillz for the CPC where i plan on busting Animal in at least one of the tourns after his generous invitation, laters.

I don't usually write these because i think they are abit shit to read but im gonna write my very own special monthly review post that sooo many other and may i add more inferior blogs seem to produce....

Well fans where do i start??? September has been fucking fantastico!! My first month as a 'full time' donkament fish has exceeded all my expectatays. I managed to win $12,750 spondoolays in total which is my most profitable month to date!!! I feel like i have got the hang of these MTT's now, it ain't pretty poker but its effective and seems to make me more dosh than in my cash games days plus you get more of a buzz when you get deep in a game. I made 20 final tarbles in Sept and managed to win ten of those games aswell as three 2nds which is very good goin imo. My best results were... 1/531, $5r, $2,400 - 1/150, $30, $1,237 - 2/239, $20r, $2,452 - 1/500, $5r, $2,500 - 1/196, $30, $1,617. Happy days.

Yesterday made me laugh, i was pissing about googling some good mtt fish and randomly came across one of my old blog post from over a year ago, check it. Click on the Scotch link aswell, you remember that boys, tunage! After reading that post i started looking over at some of my old material and there are some classic posts in there, they amuse me anyways lol. I've actually been writing this shit since Feb 2006, im so sad.

I started off the new month today by playing in a total of 16 tourns spread across Party and Cardoza costing me a total of $500. It was a night of frustration tbh with a few deep runs but no decent result. I came 13/228 and 9/249 in two $30 games when $1.8k and $2kftw were up for grabs. Its sooo unrewarding playing in these donkaments sometimes thats why volume is very important. I also got another mini cash in another $30 aswell as a 4/90 in an $11r and ended the night with a $50 profit, shiiiiip lol.

Im having loadsa troubles with my wireless internet connection atm, its a fucking nightmare esp when i have like 6 mtt's running and i need a piss or even worse a dump. Im not one of those fish who can just sit of the bog for like 30 seconds and have a quick dump either, I like to relax and enjoy my shit. I used to take my lappy with me to the throne but now i have to sprint to the shitter do my bizness and hurry back. Its hopeless leaving my housemate Scotch in charge because he proper sucks cock when it comes to poker. Its a nightmare when i get hungrey aswell i just end up staving myself. Another problem is obv when im pimpbusing i cant take my lappy into my room and have a quick knuck. Instead i have to have a danger bash in the front room with the risk that Scotch could pop his little head round the door at any minute. I can't think of anything worse than being of the brink of shooting my load and seeing his ginger mug glaring at me, arrrrgh, i really must sort the wireless out. Fuck me sooo much for my monthly review post, i seem to have gone abit off topic. Oh well fuck it i've said everything that i wanted to i think, im off for another sneaky danger wank, laters.

I played a whole bunch of games tonight and despite grinding my tits off things didnt go to well to begin with. I started the night with the Super Monday $162 buyin game on pp that some of the fish over on RTR had a piece of me in. The field was packed full of names i knew so i don't reckon its really worth playing in that much tbh, you might aswell spend $162 elsewhere. However, i played my little heart out but ended up fucking bubbling 21/139 with $5700 ftw, sooo sick. I lost one key pot with AQ v AJ where i had to settle for a split and that fucked me. I got too short, lost all my fold equity and ultimately shoved about 5bb's with the KJ demons and got called by Q10 in the blinds, 10 on the flop and see you later. Bit gutted about that as i wanted to make the RTR fish some monies. I also played in the $109 but busted just short of the dough in that aswell, 41/206. I was busting all over the shop including another near miss in a $55 game and a small cash in the $7r on ipoker until i finally found some form....

I ended up winning a $33 game on pp with 196 runners for $1,617 busting ganjasx HU who is currently no1 on the OPR pp rankings and then managed to follow that up with a 2nd in a small $11r 2/70 for $408 after two cruel suckouts HU. So, what started off as a painful night ended with about a $1.7k profit, sweeeeet. Poker is a rollaycoaster, you just gotta ride it babay! Hope you don't mind the tune, its my mates Simms all time fave, apparently he loves abit of Ronan lol. Profit for Sept is almost $13k, love it! Laters.

I feel like utter shizz today so i've decided not to play at all as i know i would only play like a knob and jizz off a shit load of my monthly prof. Not in the right state of mind at all for some reason. I feel all crustay and 'orrible lol. I am also really tired and sleepay today and need to get my lazy ass back in the gym as i dont think i have been in almost 2 weeks. Overdosed on the MTT's abit recently playing alot of hrs for me but not playing enough tourns, only between 6 and 10 a night which ain't enough imo. Still looks like its gonna be my most profitable month to date thou, hopefully i can break the £12k barrier for profit in September in the next few days, laters feeesh im fooked.

I am gonna be playing in a few higher buyin tourns at the end of a month but i am still too much of a fish to buyin direct so i have received some backing from some fine people off the RTR forum. I plan on playing in these six tournays over the next three days on PP....

28th Sunday $300k gtd - $215, $20k gtd - $109

29th Monday Super - $162, $20k gtd - $109

30th Tuesday Super - $162, $20k gtd - $109

The total amount is $866 and i have sold 53% of my ass to the following fishays, cheers :-)

5% snake, 5% Nick, 5% Ferret, 5% Barry, 5% Smooth, 2% Mike, 5% Mik, 5% Dave, 2% Tripz, 5% Doom, 2% Accorn, 5% LukyBugur, 2% Bully, 4$ Mair. Hopefully i can at least get them their money back.

I have managed to win a few more bucks since my last post but nothing worth shouting about. On Thursaday i finished the day up $150 after a deepish run in the trusty $5r on pp, 41/603 aswell as winning one of those $24, 45 manner things on FTP for $410. I didnt play on Friday deciding instead to get balled bagged with the old skool poker crew.... HooopScoootch, lesboworm, JJayation the calling station and Rigormortsen. It werent a bad night tbh even thou i randomly ended up chewing the face off some bird i went out with about 5 yrs ago on the dancefloor for the entertainment and viewing 'pleasure' of the crew who were watching the maulage courtesy of a TV from the other side of the bar lol. I am feeling pretty rough today actually, i really can't handle my booze anymore, im such a larry. In my hungover state i played a few more donkaments tonight and had some frustrating near misses boosting 6/90 in an $11r on pp for $156 and then boosting another 6/312 in a $7r on ipoker for a poxy $240, ($1560 ftw). Profit for Sept is now $11,300 :-) laters.

I managed to win the $5r on PP again on Tuesday night for the second time this month for $2.5k, shiiiip shiiiip shiiiiiiipaydeeediiiip! To win it twice within two weeks is pretty sick as you have to dodge sooo many bullets from those Party donks. There were exactly 500 runners and with about 40 odd left and with me getting short i picked up the weapons of mooohooosive destruction back to back in the BB and SB, i run good. I won two huuuge pots with fish blasting all over the place with hands like 99 and AJ and then picked up the booolets for a third time a few minutes later and received some more donations. I also busted some poor fishay with pocket sevens into AA when a lovely little zieben popped on the flop, ahaha. After that it was pretty much plain sailing until i got 5 handed where believe it or not there was actually some post flop play. This was a key hand for me where i had to show the serial raiser at the tarble who the boss was. I tangled a few times with that fish actually and it was quite enjoyable playing against him as he weren't too bad a player, he eventually boosted in 4th i think. When i got down to HU it looked like i had fooked it up when my opponent got me down to about 10bb's and had about a 4:1 chip lead over me but i battled back like a true poker warrior to get my title back babay, i am the 5 doll reeebuy king! The same night i also won a little $15 PLO tourn on Cardoza and almost tid a $33 game on the same site for a further $2.3k when my AK lost a pot versus 1010 for a big CL just outside the final tarb in 15th.

Last night i was too tired to play tbh but still decided to jizz off $100 in a few small tourns. I played some really bad poker which pissed me off, shoving AJ with about 18bb's into AK with fuck all in the pot in a $25 game and then making this redic tez play... There were about 100 runners left in a $7r on Cardoza and i had about 40bb's which was a very healthy stack with blinds at 200 and 400. First place got $1.5k and i was top ten in chips. There where a couple of limpers and i just decided partly through laziness to just blast 40k with AsKs. The bb who had me covered snapped me off with pocket biatches and i was actually in good shape for a monumental CL but i failed to improve. I know its only a small amount of money but that aint the point it really bugged me how i showed a complete lack of respect for my opponents and for the value of money in that one single hand. In a way im glad it happened, esp in a low buyin tourn just to teach me a lesson, dont be a prick Jones! Profit for Sept $10.9k, brrraaaaappp!

Went down to Luton G Casino this weekend for the Blonde Bash and had a good crack meeting quite a few fishays from the forum although it would have been much better if id have stayed over the night and not left early doors on the Saturday. Instead i drove there and back on both the Sat and the Sun which obv meant i couldnt have a drink, which i hate when you are in a lively place on a Sat night esp when you are meeting new people who are all ball bagged themselves. As a result i probably didnt get the full Blonde Bash experience and i was maybe a bit too quiet and thus perhaps didn't get to meet as many people as i should have (sry Alex), bit stupid really but it was still good....

I got there about 1.30ish on the Saturday and the first person i met was some geezer called The Crow Man lol. I had never even seen this bloke post on the forum before but he came up to whilst i was sat at the bar and the convo went something like this....

Crow Man: ahhh, a familiar face, hello.

Amatay: errr alright mate, im Simon or Amatay.

Crow Man: Hi, i suppose you can guess who i am??

Amatay: ??? Baffed look on my face

Crow Man: Points to his bag in which there is a fluffy Crow's head popping out

Amatay: ??? errr ???

Crow Man: Im the Crow man

Amatay: Oh right, ahaha

I was like fuck me, what have i let myself in for here!!! The Crow Man was abit of an eccentric character but a nice fellow, good to meet you Crow, you're a ledge! He made me laugh on the forum today actually when he said 'hi Simon hope you had a nice bash', i proper lol'd, first time someone has said that to me before! After my introduction to the blonde Bash and the Crow i had abit more surreal banter with both The Crow Man and his fluffy Crow before slipping off to the poker room to reg for the £30 double chance FO. The tournament was a fucking diaster for me and probably the worst i have ever played live tbh. I was sat at quite a lively tarble with a geezer called Cupcake who was cracking loadsa funnies, he was a pretty quick and witty bloke. Other people i knew from the forum at my tarb included BrummieBoy, Booder and AndrewT who got proper ripped in front of everyone by Tikay for wearing some redic tez shirt, it was a fucking shocker tbh. I picked up AA in my 2nd hand and took the blinds then picked up JJ in about my 5th hand and decided to jizz off my first 3k to Booder when it was soooo obv that i was crushed. Some fish limped utg, i made it 200 and Booder made in 900 on the button. In the early stages of a tourn when the blinds are sooo tiny it just screams of a monster but i decided to shove my poxy Jacks and pray for 10's or AK. Obv he had KK and flipped another king and i quickly got my 2nd 3k stack, wp Amatay you plum! I shizzed off loads more chips once to BrummieBoy with pock ziebs and then to CupCake who was imposs to read as he was just playing proper loosay goosay and i decided to pick a bad spot to bloof off about 1.3k. I eventually boosted about 6 bb's with K10 to Q8 and i was one of the first out. Although it was only a bit of fun i really wanted to stick around until the last 50 at least because i didnt know anyone and whilst everyone was still in the tourn i was on my jackjones. I was at the point of no return where i had sank about two pints and if i had anymore i would have been too mezzed to drive and thus would have had to sort out some kind of accomodation or get taxi's home etc so i decided fuck it and left about 6.30ish which was abit gay.

Sunday was the £20 a man HU tournament and i was in a team consisting of Dunk, Mondatoo, CDW,and The Mole who actually looks abit like a mole lol, apparently he plays 300/600 cash games!! Dunk was a very lively geezer and quite a funny bastard, he didnt seem to have a care in the world and didnt seem to give a shit about the poker but just wanted to drink himself into obliv, fairplay. Mondatoo and CDW were both geordie lads and were both nice to speak to when i could actually make sense of their strong Newcastle accents. I didnt really chat to the Mole, perhaps he didnt see me, get it??? Moles are totally blind btw Simms, just incase ;-)

Our team drew Leknave's mob who i 'know' from his blog and am also aware he's a pretty solid MTT grinder as is his mate ChipRich who i had to play in game one, good to meet you fish btw. I felt like i played quite well HU against Rich and slowly chipped away but it ultimately came down to two hands one where i rivered 2 pr and checked to trap because i had Rich on air the whole way. He blasted and i snap called and my rivered 2 pr had made his bloody Q7 of hearts a rear entray flooosh to fuk me in the ass, soo cold lol. I think we then just flipped KJ v 55 and i lost and that was that, wp Rich, gg. Luckily enough my teammates carried me through to the 2nd round where i fucking lost again this time to some geezer called Pawprint. I don't think Pawprint was capable of folding a pr tbh, hopefully he don't read this lol. Maybe he just read my soul but i bloofed off a bunch of chips to him before my pocket ziebs were no match for the mightay K6, esp after the flop came KK6, fuk my life!! This time my team mates couldn't do the buisness and it was game over.

After the HU i decided to 'do my bollocks' in a game of £2 showdown with some of the lads. Basically it was 2 nugs a hand with no betting and the best hand obv wins and takes the pot. We played stuff like hi card, low card, holdem, Omaha, Omaha hi/lo, Irish Omaha and all sorts of other stupid games, sometimes where you could buy extra cards cards for a 50p or a quid. After at least an hour i'd say we starting to play with 2 decks and by this time with had at least 10 people playing so the pots were worth winning. It was a really good laugh even thou I ran soooo bad at this game it was a fucking JOKE! Seriously, we played shit loads of these £2 showdown games which lasted aprrox 1 minute and i honestly cant remember winning more than three of the mother fucking things. Even when i did win i usually had to split or hi card with the other winner for the scoop which i obviously lost!!! I done at least 50 quid of my dough in that game, although it may have been more and i also lost £20 of Maldini's money who staked me because he didnt beleive i could continue to run sooo bad. Cheers Maldini, nice to meet you mate even though you didnt know it was me at the time lol and sorry for spunking your dosh mate. I really wished i could have had a drink esp when both Maldini and Ironside had to buy the rounds when making 5 of a kind!! Like i said before i fucking hate it when you can't get pissed esp when everyone else around you in knocking em back, oh well, next time. Actually i plan on going to an RTR xmas meet up in Dec so i look forward to that.

On the online front there is not too much to report really. My profit has dropped from $8.8k for Sept to about $8.2k since my last post. Been getting there or there abouts in a few tourns but just losing those keys flips deep in the game etc. Played a few tournays tonight and kept shoving big pairs into bigger pairs, not good. I also got down to the last 20 or so in a $33 on PP only for the game to crash on me so i wrote the bastards an email demanding for some good compo and not some gay bonus or winnings based on my chip stack at the time it crashed, i await there reply. My best result came in some faggot $15 game when i finished 7/273 on ipoker for a poxy $164. I don't why i bother playing in them really, maybe i wont anymore. Right, thats everything i think, time for some shut eye me thinks, laters fish.

With the WSOPE fast approaching you can find out all you need to know by clicking the WSOPE link on the left hand side of my blog. Loadsa good shit on there plus they gave me $70 doll for that advert, about time this 'great' blog starting making some mooola :-) Also my mate YorkiePud works for Betfair and writes a few articles for them plus he's got his own blog, check it. Speaking about great blogs if you haven't come across one/angry/kids's blog then go check it out right now. Its gotta be one of the funniest blogs on the net, i piss myself nearly everytime i read it. Right, that's enough of licking other people arse's lets get the focus back on your No 1 blogger lol....

Looks like my heater is finally coming to an end as i lost my first coinflip in 2 weeks today, im running soooo baaaaaad. Back to normal the last two days and back to busting all over the shop. Nah, its not that bad at all, i've only jizzed off about $300. Played about 10 tourns on Wed and made one small final tarb boosting in 5th in the same 25 buck game i won the previous night on ipokay. Tonight i took a few hits but also played some real shit pokes. My best result was 20/273 in a $20 FO on Cardoza for $55 after my AQ lost to 77, i never hit. I also fired up a few games on Paradise Poker after some advice from Animal about the horrible standard on there and he was right the fish on there are shocking. However, i didnt really like the software on there plus i was experiencing some connections problems which i think were caused by the Boss Network. I kept getting disconnected from the pp games aswell so i had to restart my comp whilst playing in about 5 tourns. That costs me about 5-6 mins of valuable time towards the business end of a couple of games. I managed to get reconnected just in time to shove about 9bb's with AQ into AK deepish in the $5r on pp, fuck my life.

The standard of these MTT fish amazes me, is it really does. I've played alot of fish on the cash tarbs in the last few years and some of them muppets are horrible but the tournay fish are an absolute joke. The amount of times i see them limp call raises for a huge percentage of their stacks with hands like KJ boogles my mind. They limp call allin aswell, its amazing!! Classic example yesterday actually..... I get dealt A10 hearts in the sb and after two plums at my tarb limp into pot i decide to just shove about 15 bb's and take a nice pot. Most of the fish don't have the brains to limp with a monster and my allin shove gets around to the second limper who pauses, ut oh. Now, i know what he's got and i know he's prolly gonna call, they always do lol. Like i said they limp call with hands like KJ, KQ sooo much. Anyways the fish takes about 2-3 seconds for his tiny brain to compute all the information and decides to call off his stack with the mighty kojak ofc. So, its sweat time for Amatay as this pot would get me right back in the hunt what with the reeedic structures on ipoker where someone with 15 bb's is usually the chip leader. Flop comes Axx with two hearts, and im sat here thinking phew top pair and the noot floosh draw i needed that dooobel. Of course it comes perfect perfect and gives the muthalicker a straight ffs lol. This ain't really a rant btw, im not that bovved i just find it funny how these type of players are sooo stupid, it really baffles me.

Going to Luton and the G Casino this weekend for the Blonde Bash 7. I think there is about 130 odd Blonde fish going down so it should be a good crack and it will be nice to meet up with a few peeps from the forum. Im gonna be playing in the £30 game on Sat and i am involved in the HU team challenge on Sunday with DUNK, cwd, Mondatoo, and The Mole. No idea who these fish are but it should be a laff. Can't decide whether to get a room and stay there on Sat night or drive down and leave my motor there and then get a taxi back, i'll probably leave it to the last minute to make up my mind as per usual. I'll also probably play in a few of the side games going on aswell esp if i boost out of the £30 early doors. Im expecting the standard to be pretty good so it should be interesting. Right, its almost 5am so its nearly my bedtime. My sleeping pattern is proper fucked atm, laters.

Its no biggie but i managed to win my last two small tourns of the night today, a $25 mr freeze on Cardoza for $884 (131) and a $10 reeeeebuy on Partay for $696 (90). I had gone 15 tourns without cashing after busting out of 9 games on Monday and my first 6 games of tonight. I also cashed in a $15 FO on Cardoza 19/287 for $45. Profit for September so far is $8.8k :-)

I'm kinda waiting for the wheels to come off abit and thought that yesterday and the first half of tonight was just the start. However, im playing real good poker atm and the standard in these small buyin tournays in an absolute joke. I also seem to be getting into some sort of structure and routine but i still think i need to up the volume abit. I reckon i should be playing 12-16 tourns a night and not 4-10 like i have been. Dunno what else to say tbh. I feel like a bit of a big head cock what with all these brag posts recently. Hope you fish don't think that? All i have to do to point to the countless posts when i was doing shit and really struggling. I don't just write about the good times like some other blogs. Fuck it anyways, im loving it right now, i feel gooooooood, laters fish.

Spent a couple of nights in Kent this weekend to catch up with an old uni friend who lives in Herne Bay. Dave, who looks a tiny bit like Jaap Stam used to be my best mate at Uni, we lived together for abit and had a good crack in my 4 yrs in Chichester. It was fucking weird seeing him tbh, the little mincer hasn't changed at all, not one bit. Although i have barely seen him in 6 yrs it didnt feel like it. In fact we may aswell have still been at Uni as all we did was smoke weed, watch footy and play abit of ISS on his X-Box. That's pretty much what i did at uni, get pissed abit, rump the odd bird, go to the occasional lecture and smoke copious amounts of gear and play millions of games of ISS, i was the fucking daddy at that game btw :-) These days i don't smoke at all, i don't play ISS, i still get ball bagged but i ain't had a shag in nearly 3 months, sigh lol. It was good to see him thou, it was easy really as we have always got on well and are both very laid back people. Another thing that was strange about the weekend was his housemate Toby really reminded me of another mate of mine at Uni called Wilks, it was really bizarre. Perhaps i was just really stoned but it was kinda surreal being there.

Whilst i was there we got chatting about poker which is often the case when you play the game for a living as people are always very intrigued and have a ton of questions to ask. I don't mind thou and i actually downloaded FTP and PP for them and showed them some of the games i play. I gave some quick examples at lows lims and managed to get a double up on PLO $50 and nl $10. I also played in a 1 dollar 45 man donkfest on FTP and won it! I was pissing myself and needless to say Dave quickly opened up an account and deposited 50 bucks and went about donating a few doll into the poker community. Im running sooo shit hot atm. Not only am i winning tourns for $2.4k with over 500 fishays im also taking down 45 man games costing $1 on FTP looooool. Whilst i was there i also showed Dave this blog which was probably a bad idea. Alright Dave you little gay boy. Actually reading this shitty ghey bummer blog at his house and with him calling me a cunt for keeping a blog did make me think a bit. I guess this blog is abit gay ain't it? Fuck knows why you fish read it?? Fuck it, who cares.

I got home early doors today and had abit of a kip before firing up 6 small tourns costing a total of $120 and minced in front of the box. I didn't get too much luck tonight although i came close to final tabling twice on ipoker busting 13/103 in a little faggot 10 buck PLO game aswell as busting in another unlucky 13th position out of 366 fish in a $20 FO for $73, winner got almost $2k. Gonna continue with the MTT's this week, hopefully i can carry on my winning steak. Monthly profit stands at $7.7k so its all good, laters.

I can't believe the results i have had in the past 7-8 days, i have to pinch myself lol. Tonight, i managed to luckbox my way to a 2/239 in a $22r game on PP for $2,451. Its been an amazing week which has seen me win three MTT's and get two 2nds aswell as a few other final tarble finishes and cashes. In the last week i have made over $7,500 profit!!! All the fun n games started last Thursday....

I played in a $22r Bounty game on VC Poker hosted by Barry Carter and was lucky enough to beat a small field and win $890. On Saturday i had a series of near misses, coming close in a $6r and finishing 4th in an 11 buck game on PP. I then went on the rampage from Monday onwards when i beat 531 fishays to win the $6r on PP for $2,400. Tuesday saw me win a $33 FO on PP for $1,237 and on Wednesday i placed 2/167 in a $22 donkament on ipoker. I didn't think it could get any better but like i said previously i managed to get a 2nd in the $22r on PP for $2451. Its amazing what i can achieve when i put some hours in. Taking two days off now as i am going to see an old uni pal in Kent but i'll hopefully be back on Sunday to TID the million on Stars, laters.

Came about as close as you can to winning three MTT's in three days today. I fired up 6 small buyin tourns tonight costing a total of just $187. I busted in a $55 FO, $11r & 6r but final tarbled in my other three games. The best result came in a $22 FO on ipoker where i came 2/167 for $560. I had my opponent allin HU with A8 v K6 but it wasn't to be. I also placed 6/61 in a mincey $5 rb PLO game for $58 and got very unlucky in the same $33 FO i won last night when my KK lost to AK for 2nd in chips busting me 10/130 for $87. I have no complaints thou and i am absolutely loving my poker again atm. I was actually looking forward to playing tonight and its been a long long time since i had that feeling. I'm super confident right now and my profit so far this month is $5,268, happy days :-)
