Im doing ok atm i guess, although i am already beginning to show a lack of discipline lol. I reckon i have only spent about 4 hours total at the cash tarbs this year and even though i have been ill recently i think that number is poor. I have played a few $33 sit n shits on FTP, received a few dimes in bonus money aswell as about $100 i got in rake back for playing abit on Shittywoods at the end of the year which i'll add onto 2008's figures. On Wednesday i made about $800, dont think i played on Thursday and tonight all i have done is play some SnG's (with unbelievably bad luck lol) and the RTR Prem League round 4. I actually missed the first 40 minutes of the RTR game ala Hellmuth style and busted 7/15 i think. I will start playing more, i will have to, im just warming oop lol. Profit for 2008 thus far = $1554.

I wish this flu bug thing I've got would just FUCK OFF! I can't shake the fucker off an I've been feeling ruff now since the 27th. Today i feel as though i am starting to recover abit and i actually left my flat for the first time in a week lol. I went to see that new film with Will Smith, I am Legend. Its pretty good actually and I'd recommend you fish go watch it. On the poker front i haven't really been able to play too much because of my illness, i guess thats one of the cons of being a full time fish now, no sick pay. However, two days into the new year and i can report a profit of $640 bucks which is ok. About $100 of this is from a small one hour session on the cash tarbs, $60 of it is from the sign up bonus on FTP and the rest has been accumulated from playing SnGs which are a piece of piss to play when your not well. I checked my SnGays stats out on SharkScope yesterday and i've now got one of them little animated sharks swimming next to my username so beware fish! lol. Hopefully i will feel well enough to start hammering the cash tarbs soon, im getting there. Laters.

Ok, here we gooooooo. From now on i'll be keeping a separate record for my poker winnings/losing as a full time poker fish. At the moment i have about $25k floating around in cyberspace at a number of different sites. I have decided to withdraw $10k of that and leave myself with a $15k bankroll which should be more than enough, if its not then im in serious trouble lol. I will mainly be playing 6-9 tarbles of $1/2 at either PP, FTP or Poker Loco to start with and hopefully i'll be back to playing 4+ tarbles of $2/4 like i was a couple of months ago before i had my gay confidence hit. I'll also be playing some $33 and $55 faggot SnGays aswell as the occasional MTT to mix it oop. Im abit nervous about it all at the moment tbh although im kinda excited too. I know im good enough to at least make a small living from this game, i've proven it.

Im going to hammer the tarbles in Jan and Feb and then i'll be off on my snowboarding hol in Andorra with a load of the lads hopefully in good shape. Im not going to set myself any outcome orientated goals like winning x amount of dosh in a certain time period but will in instead set myself process goals. Im simply going to aim to play an absolute minimum of 35+ hours per week and if i achieve that then everything should take care of itself. I have some rough figures in my head of what i'd like to earn in 2008 but i aint gonna share them with you fish. I'll also be withdrawing either $4 or $5k (aint decided yet) per month to cover living expenses etc.

I have been proper ill the past 3 days and i am still abit fucked up atm. I have got a real bad dose of man flu and haven't moved from my sofa. I feel horrible tbh, like utter shit. Im meant to going out on the lash tomorrow night to celebrate the new year and all that but im not sure im gonna make it. Anyways, happy new year to all you fish and wish me luck, night.

Been feeling fucking rough both today and yesterday but i feel great now! Get the fuck in there you Irons!

Wahoooooooooooooooooo!

Now i have had my fair share of stick and abuse on this shitty blog of mine with much of it coming from my much loved 'relative' cousin Kirby lol, some from Chris T and a whole bunch of you annon fishays. TBH i fucking love it, keeps me amused LOL, although i did get abit para when Kirbs started stalking me at work lol, its all a good crack. Today i think another blogging war is about to explode? In the RTR Prem League game today there were a few heated moments aswell as the odd comment in the chat room. I didnt enjoy the RTR Prem League today at all tbh. I have been feeling under the weather all day but i thought the standard was pretty shit. I busted 8/13 but have no complaints and played shit myself although i got dealt utter shit :-) In the early stages of the tourn i thought Mair was gonna have a fit when she busted out with a set versus Raff's TPTK and nut floosh draw lol. Im chatting to Rob atm and he's just received a few strange comments on his blog in his past few posts lol. Lets take a look at some of the prime suspects? God im bored lol

#1 Mr Amatay himself ;-), the man, the mystery, the genius! There simply aren't enough superlatives in the English Dictionary.

#2 BurnleyMik, the donkay, the fishay, the nit! There are simply too many abusive words in the English Dictionary

#3 Raff, the Kraut, the any pocket pair or big ace pre flop and im allin fish.

#4 Rob (poker guru) lol, the biggest fish of them all. Is he trying to double bloof us? He tried once tonight and it didnt work ;-)

#5 Mair? Surely not??

#6 MattyH, he's a dark horse this one, watch out for this fish.

#7 Yorky Pudd. On any other day this fish would be a prime candiate for a wind up but i think he was a bit balled and went off to rump Mrs P.

Watch this space.......

Im slowly gearing up for life as a full time poker fish, i will start my new 'career' in the new year. Recently, I have basically been checking out other sites, games with good value, different bonus rewards and rakeback schemes etc. Im also just thinking about loadsa stuff and kinda preparing myself mentally. Until the new year im just gonna play a few SnG's and MTT's i think. Since my drunken exploits of xmas eve, i've done the family thing on xmas day, spent much of boxing day at my mate Simms gaff and then today i've blitzed my flat and played 15 $33 donkey SnG's on FTP with little success. I won four and finished 2nd twice for a total profit of $99. I also played in a 90 man 26 doll tourn and was about 3rd in chips with around 15 fish left and somehow busted in 13th from pure siiiikness lol, i couldn't believe it. I'll probably update this shit blog of mine before the new year. Oh, one more thing before i go mainly for all you full time wankers out there (Simms n Ad's). I found another top wank site free of charge, aptly named http://www.wank.net/ lol. I've added it too my links, enjoy fish!

Just got in from a night on the lash. Thought it would be a wise idea to play 1/2 PLO and some HU 1/2 and 2/4. I manged to lose a total of about $250 in around 25 minutes i think, wp me. Note to self: DO NOT PLAY PISSED FOR THE 87TH TIME!!! YOUR A PROFESSIONAL NOW JONES ahahahahhahahaaha. Happy chrimbo, laters

Not done alot tonight, stupid really. I should have either gone out and got pissed up or played loadsa poker, instead i did neither. I played a few games on Littlewoods making £46 profit, watched Joe Beevers (fan of the blog and fellow hammer) take down the Poker Million on SkySports and railed a few fish online. Oh, i also finished 3/15 in round 2 of the RTR Prem league which puts me top of the table i think in the race for an EPT Sat.

Im undecided atm as to whether i should start my online record as a full time player now or wait until the new year. Thing is im not really playing proper poker at the moment just winning a few hundred here and there. Its not good enough and a waste of time. Im tempted to start life as a full time fish in the next few days because there will be loadsa fishee's on over chrimbo plus i have a few bonuses on the go atm which will boost the roll and i wanna get off to a good start. My bankroll atm is $25,077. I'll sleep on it i think, I reckon i might start tomorrow though. If i have a bad start i could always restart in the new year lol. Night fish, enjoy the tuneage!

Wahooooooooo, im officially retired from the rat race babay. I've unplugged myself from the matrix and i am no longer a slave to the system and it feels goooooooot! Im so excited and i just can't hide it no no no no nooo im about to lose control and i think i like it ooooooo yeah!!! Hopefully everything turns out ok for me, if it dont then its no biggie, at least i gave it a shot, i'll just get another job, no damage, except for a small financial dent if it does go tits oop. Although, as Rob just suggested to me via msn i could always sell my house mate Scotch for medical research to help pay the bills, although that would probably only roll me for the mirco lims. I could also pimp his ginger ass oot to the sex industry although again im not sure that there is much demand out there for a messy orange haired fish. Failing that i might have to sell a kidnay or summat or maybe donate some of my thick creamay spooonk! Hope you fish like the tuneage btw lol. do do do do do do do............

Got wankered again last night and i feel like utter shit again today lol. I had my works leaving do which was a really good crack. A load of us went to a pub called the Albion in Hammersmith and basically got ball bagged. My work mates brought me a massive chip set and a copy of Bluff magazine aswell as a card as a leaving pressie which was a big suprise and really nice. I had a really good time actually, we don't get together that often and i was having such a good laugh i didnt realise the time which had somehow crept upto 11.30. My last train left at 11.15 so i was fucked!! I promptly left and had to get about 6 different bloody trains home on the fooking underground whilst lugging around some monster chip set lol. I ended up blowing work out today although i werent the only one as i think there was only a couple of the Sport Science team that turned up for work lol, were worse than the students!!! Only one more day of work left before i 'retire' wahooooo.

Not played much poker in the last few days. On Monday i was shattered after work and regged for one faggot £22 SnG on shittywoods. However, i fell asleep whilst playing it! I woke up to find myself on the bubble with a short stack and quickly blasted all in with Q10 sooted got called by AK, flopped a queen and went on to take it down babay ahahaha. Today, i have pissed about on ShittyWoods again playing abit of cash and a few SnG's and made a tiny insignifcant profit. I also played 3 level 2's on Gutshot.com and busted in all of them. I played really shit actually and i need to play much tighter in these 10 seat SnG's in the future i think. Night fish.

Had my works leaving do tonight and im pissed and i just wanna write in my blog to remind myself that i feel great. I fucking love it, im in such a good place atm, i feel great!!!! I'll write more tomorrow, laters x

Feel fecking rough today, too fucked to play proper poker. All i have done today is piss about on Littlewoods making about a £90 prof. I've mainly been playing these 6 handed £22 SnG's in which the the top 3 fish get £40 back. Im only playing on Shittywoods just to clear a £100 quid bonus and have cleared about 25% of it so far. I also played in the bloggerment (11/18) and thats about it for today. I feel ill, laters
