Havent really played that much, had lot of other work to do. Have been mixing up a little when i have had the odd hour to play, either playing 2 tables at $25nl or 6/7 tables at $10nl and also playing a couple of sit and goes (including two heads up games). I lost the odd buyin on the cash tables but made it little on the sit and goes. Not much else to report.

Yo Yo Yo
Wrote this blog out earlier at work. Was pretty damn long and then decided to not save it and loose whole bloody lot. Dunno why i bother!!!!
What i wrote about was my ups n downs over last 3 weeks playing poker. First two weeks have been pretty good. found myself up around $170, which for me is massive. felt i was learning quickly. It's by far the most hours in a month i have played. Still got over a week left too.
HOWEVER... this last week i have proceded to lose $60-$70 mainly down to playing badly perhaps. Also maybe down to playing too many hands. I did lose a $50 odd dollar pot when my set of 10s lost to his set of kings. dont think they could be helped. Have talked that over with Dan and he feels i played that fine. So could sleep ok over that lol. On my other table were i lost my other buyin is completely diferent story. Dan pointed out my mistake straight away. I had queens and should of 3-bet preflop to try isolate. Long story short about a guy UtG limping a7 then deciding to see flop with a raiser plus another caller. Still not sure if i 3 bet if that wud of got him off the hand. He was seeing alot of flops, Who knows!!!
Can't remember what else i wrote about earlier so will just mention about a few challenges and the sickest story i have heard
Durrrr's challenge is massive. How much self believe must he have. I have heard him say in an interview that they(ivey/antonius) are probably better players than him but over 4 tables he reckons he might have an edge. I'm sure even after a few thousand hands that those guys will be used to playing 4 tables. I'm pretty sure Patrik has played 4 tables a few times :)
Negreanu's got a $10 challenge where he hopes to turn $10 to $100,000 in a period of time. Unless he has sum big bets on this i just cant see him keeping interested in it imo. Have read some threads saying they think he will struggle to make money when he gets to mid stakes not coz he aint good enough, coz we all know he is but online its a different story. there are loads of awesome players.
Now the story i heard about and this is the sickest of the sickest :) Apparently a young swedish guy who may well just be legal to play only a few weeks ago and decided to deposite 2k into an ipoker account and was playing $600nl and ran so well that within 2 -3 weeks was playing 100-200$ I KIDD YOU NOT!!! Mad like 1.5 mil and then within 2 or so weeks proceded to loose the intire roll. AGAIN>>>>I KIDD YOU NOT !!!!!!!

New year, New game
Well not a new game. Still gonna be playing Holdem but think i might turn to cash. Went out the bout week a go and Dan was saying I wil be losing long term or something due to rake. I watched a couple of sample videos next day from Cardrunners (cheapskate i know) and just gave what i learnt a try. This last week i havent put a losing session in yet. Mind you. the winning margin from the 2/3 hours ive played isnt good either. Still got floors obviously but am gonna put some hours in and see where it goes. obviously will still play sng's but just not every session.
Dan came round bout 3 in the morning after nigth out and we(he) lost my money in my account. I say we but i past out on my bed lol. He actaully gave me $125 back which was nice of him. Prolly would of still lost it if i hadnt past out so reall nice of him actually.
I had awesome new years eve night with girlfreind and few freinds. am hoping 2009 is gonna be a big year for me on a lot of fronts.
