Resurrection

Given that i started this blog I think it's only fair that I try and keep it going despite the fact that it has been over a year since my last post.

I have been playing more poker over the last six months than maybe the previous 2-3 years. Primarily this has been up in Luke Ivory's new club in the Fitzpatrick Casino in Tallaght. Nice spot, friendly and some of the best structured games around. I don't understand why more players don't attend his games - we all know he deserves a break.

It's amazing what a regular run of tournaments can do for your game and playing regularly keeps you focused and you don't feel like you are learning all over again, which was the case when I only played a few tournaments a year.

I have been getting some good results and I feel my game is getting better all the time.

I am going to play in JP's mini WSOP this Friday to see how my game stacks up against a big field. I haven't been involved in any of the big games this year but the few 100+ runner events I did play earlier in the year all ended in cashes so I'm entering this with a little confidence.

I feel the structure this weekend will suit me and I feel I can pick spots to exploit those who don't understand deep stack events. Here's hoping anyway. I'll have a report up over the weekend - hopefully Monday if I'm busy taking it down!


My games reviewing in The Daily Mirror (every Fri if you're interested) is getting some traction. Both Sony and EA have asked me to contribute quotes for their upcoming TV ads of Uncharted 2 and FIFA 10 respectively and I had a good spot on the Gerry Ryan show last Friday (http://2fm.rte.ie/show/get_epg_schedule_item/11/2009-10-30 - 45:00mins in). I hoping to get a console LAN event off the ground before Xmas which are always good craic.

If you ever need a copy of something let me know and I'll see what I can do.
