so I moved into my new uni house on Sunday and to say it was a disappointment would be an understatement imo worse than the last place but i didn’t come to view it with the boys as i was fed up with trying to get things sorted so left it up2 them, so i cant complain!!! one good thing to come out of this house is the rent is only £265 a month not the £290 i was told resulting in about another £300 left out my loan although i will either blow this on poker or nights out.
the worst part is sleeping on a mattress where the springs dig into your back like knifes i keep trying to get laid to solve the problem of sleeping on it but that hasn’t gone to plan!! the rooms are all good size and we even have a spare room for when my many m8s come to stay to relive their uni years through me the only one from home still here as i have had to do like 10000 years due to shit a-level results and shit teachers who didn’t give a shit about me at school just wanted me to do a trade like this body could handle that!! but enough of the rant I’m on course to move onto the Meng next year as long as a keep my grades up!!
got my individual project list today have like 70 to choose from but alot of them are bridge design as most people tend to get boners over them like they are going to be the next Joseph Strauss. i will be happy to do something that i can get stuck into and get to know inside out as we only have 7/8 months to do it.
i need to go and speak to my head of department about my options for this year and if he feels they are the right ones for my progress to Meng next year as I’m getting a bit worried that i will move up and everyone will have a different base knowledge to me, but it does mean i will have to do 2 dissertations over this year one in the summer holidays, thank god don’t think i could handle another 4 months of laying on my ass reminiscing on the holiday to Benicassim festival i had at the start of the summer.
been a good week for my squash bet i have with a m8 got 1 year to beat him in a best of 5 didn’t think this was possible a few weeks ago and still feels a long way off but i have a good training partner. Managed to get 3 sessions in this week so far and hitting the ball a lot more confident all be it a bit high still. still got a way to go but it would b nice to get this win out the bag and get one up on all the people who think I’m shit at all sports.
not been any news on the poker front this week just been getting drunk and making a general fool out of myself but i have started to accept this drunk side of me and starting to embrace it!
off to watch the Everton game in a bit and i think another drunken night but my head of department is getting the beers and lunch in tomorrow for the whole department so that should be a good hang over cure
Peace out. x

Day four part 2
This is really starting 2 get to me I just can’t get away from the computer I alienated all of my friend last year when I did this but lucky enough they were good friends and stuck by me (mainly because I have to live with them) but I can’t help but wonder what’s going to happen now we are leaving uni and I just can’t see me seeing anyone but some prick I go to the casino with and have to bail out all the time because he go’s bust all the time!!!!
But hey I'm getting better and better at poker and who need friends when I have got durrrrr by my side!!!!!
Another winning session total profit $1800 but I find myself getting bitter and not giving a shit about the poker anymore but somehow only giving a shit about poker
I'm SO CONFUSED!!!!!

Day four
Well what can I say went out last night CAME HOME ALONE AGAIN but I'm use to it now who cares!!!!
Hit the poker AGAIN found myself calling all ins and winning the flips so life was GOOOOOOOD a profit of $700 by the end of the night taking my total profit up to $1100 not bad for four days work but we all remembered what happened last time I said that
I still can’t shake the fact that I'm home alone again not that I was in much of a fit state anyway but I just want someone to cuddle and keep me company not these internet twats I have to listen to all day winging about me taking their money!!!!

Wednesday, 20 May 2009
I wake up not really remembering what happened the night before and check my hand history to find myself horrified at how I played what have I done from a profit of $1200 to a loss this is allot harder than I thought
It’s really starting to play on my already unstable existence
But I have made a promise and I intend to uphold that!!! I get up showered and ready for another day on the GRIND.
After being dominated the night before at heads up I think I'm not having it I'm a good heads up player and I know I am so I track down the guy who took my money and play him again. I start off strong taking most pots but he keeps winning a few big ones, I decide to tighten up and stop paying him off with his big pairs. Eventual half hour into the game and I have grinded out one buy in from him but I want my other one back and I keep going and sure enough I get it back plus another one!!! I have taken $600 from this one guy and he can’t take anymore and leaves. I'm happy I have proved my worth
I then decide to hit four 6 seat rooms again I find myself in a 3 way pot with the absolute nuts and them both betting into me all my Christmases’ have come at once and I win a $670 pot.
With a loss in 2 rooms and a small win in the other this puts my total profit for the session so far at $800 a profit of $700 for the three days.
I keep grinding for another hour or so when I find myself in a tricky situation I get JJ on the button and raise I get re-raised to $24 I make it $56 to go and get a caller the flop comes 4 6 8 rainbow I know the player and I don’t think he has connected but for some reason I have it in my mind he has 10’s and make it $80 on the flop he then go’s all in for about $100 more and I think for a min ask my friend who is watching what he thinks and he tells me to fold, but me being a stubborn boy can’t leave $150 of my money in there and decide to call I lose the pot turning out the other player had KK in hindsight I should have listened to my better poker playing friend and folded but o well I finish the session with a profit of $500
DAY 3 total profit for the week of $400
Out on the lash again tonight let’s hope I get lucky and don’t play poker when I get in drunk!!!

day 2 the pissed session
So its later that night I'm let’s say I’m a bit worse for wear!!! After a phone call from my sponsor I'm feeling allot better about my earlier domination at the tables he tells me to just tighten up and protect my good hands. But it’s hard to shake off the fact that I have come home alone I really wanted to get laid 2night but that’s their loss not mine so after reliving some tension I get back to the felt.
This time I decide to play heads up as I'm feeling aggressive so I open up a $1/$2 HU room
The game stars ok I'm about $50 up and crushing my opponent when I make a fatal error of underestimating him and calling off almost all my stack drawing dead.
I reload and do the same again I think hey what’s going on I'm feeling kinda blue. When a few words of wisdom from a friend tells me to stop playing I DONT LISTEN TO HIM but decide to go back to what I know best a 6 seater table. And all I'm have to say on that is I think my friend was correct I should have stopped I find myself in a total loss for the two days of $100 time to sleep

Day 2
Day 2 starts with a nice phone call from a dear friend of mine called the TAP not a big time player but a big time bloke!! We have a few jokes and it puts me in the kind of mood I want to be in at the start of the day
I get up have some breakfast and get straight back to it. I’m going out tonight because it was my friends last exam so I decide to put in a good session in the day rather than in the evening and night like day one.
The legend that I am doing this for warned me to play tighter in the day because all the pros play then.
This day doesn’t start to good and after an hour of play I find myself down by $600 for the day the tables are just dominating me I 3 bet and I get raised every time ITS LIKE THEY KNOW WT I HAVE!!! But hey they have been making a living out of it a lot longer than my measly one day.
The session ends bad with a loss of $700 from some sik beats and some poor plays but it’s been 5 hours and considering I was down by $600 after the first hour I’m not to shaken up
This is turning out to be allot harder than I thought.
Hey lets go get drunk after all I’m still $500 up

Day One Part 2
So its still day one and in going for another session to try and win some more $$$$
I start the session the same as the last 4 tables 6 seat $1/$2
The session starts off to what I think is going to be a good one 6 hands in on one table I flop the top set WIIIIIIIII I think and like before the opponent bets for me but this time with a flush out I’m not messing about he wants to draw he pays for it I put him all in, he snap calls and like I suspected he has the flush draw but this time the poker gods are not on my side and he hits the flush on the river a $400 pot lost!!!! But I shake it off make myself a nice cup of brewski and reload.
Not only moments later and in a different room I get KK in the BB and the pot has been raised I decide after what I did to the guy with the AA erlia in the day because he played it so bad pre flop to 3 bet and make it $56 with the opponent only having a stack of $50 I know he will get it in with a average hand. Sure enough he call and flips 88 I made another good play forcing my opponent to put his stack in as a massive dog........ the flop comes blank blank blank I think ok keep the nothing cards coming then on the turn BAM a big fat 8 and then the river nothing, but hey what can you do THATS POKER FOLKS
So this session hasn’t started off the best im down by $250 in two rooms but going steady in the other two with a total loss of only $50
I play for about 4 hours and find myself even for the session
I think its ok I have taken some bad beats and Im still even we are going strong
HEY THIS POKER THING AINT SO BAD $1200 FOR A DAYS WORK

Day One
I’m doing the first 3 days as a snapshot because I have only just started this blog as I needed a break for the hectic life as a poker player.
So it’s the first morning and I’m playing no limit Texas hold’m with blinds of $1/$2 in four different 6 man rooms.
I have been playing for no fewer than 20 min when I hold 67 suited in late position in a pretty crazy room so far it has been folded round to me and I decide to make it $7 to go I get 1 caller in the BB. The flop comes down the best I can hope for of 5 8 4 rainbow and my opponent is a decent player and leads out with a $16 bet i decide to plat call thinking he is holding either a over pair or AK AQ suited. The turn comes down an ace I lick my lips this is the card I hoped for “the money card” and sure enough he leads out with a $43 bet I raise making it $121 he then go’s all in I rejoice and snap call, turns out he had AA bit better than I thought but he played it weak pre flop and let me hit a hand he can’t fold to, the river comes down a blank and I scoop a $450 pot
The day has started good
About 40 min later I find myself with a profit for the day of $1220 for no more than an hour’s work. I decide best to have a quick break before I do anything stupid. So I ring my friend up and rub it in his face because he had just gone bust the night before losing his entire role.

The beginning!!!
Hello this is my 1st ever blog so be patient with me. Well the scoop is i found myself with the opportunity to play online poker professionally for a week at a limit of $1/$2 for all those poker lovers out there and decided as I just leaving uni I would give it a shot as my joke degree hasn’t thrown anything else on the cards.
Well it all started when i played a guy online heads up who i knew from my best friend who happens to be in my view a better poker player than me but i always seam 2 get lucky and beat him heads up. Well anyway i was pissed and decided to play this pro heads up and i crushed him and he was so impressed he said;
“I’m on holiday for a week and I have to play for 6 hours a day and I don’t think my girlfriend will be to happy with me if I spend 6 hours a day on the pc on our holiday, so I know you’re a good player and I can trust you (I hope) and u don’t have a life outside your room and the casino these days. I will give you some training and then u can play for me for the week.”
Well at first I was a bit scared to take the challenge on but after he gave me some valuable lessons and told me it didn’t matter if I win or lose (I might like to point out that he is the nicest bloke in the world.) I said ok.
So here we go I’m starting me week as a pro WISH ME LUCK
