The world's leading online poker radio show, The Poker Show Live, sponsored by www.boylepoker.com, returns next week with a special star-studded line-up to celebrate the start of season III.


Well, the sick run has continued since my last blog. Kicked on with my online spin and had great success at $50/100 PLO.

Well, I've had a nightmare down-swing over the last week or two, the last week in particular. I ran so badly, it seemed like I was dealt the second best hand for the whole week.

I played the UKIPT Leg 2 at G Casino Manchester last weekend and achieved my 1st cash for Boylepoker, but it could have been even better.

Following on from the deep stack festival, I was heading across the water for a week. Monday to Thursday was spent playing golf in Celtic Manor, then onto Manchester for leg two of the UKIPT.

Wow what a week! I went from nearly being on a flight home after a disastrous trip, to having my best week of poker ever.


I'm just starting to settle back into things at home again. I had a couple of days back in Belfast last week, then went to Newport in Wales for a golfing trip with Paul Spillane, Nicky Power, Julian Gardner and a few of Paul's mates from England.

Another strange month; I had 2 1/2 weeks off in the middle where I barely played a hand, but still managed $24.6k in buyins, which I only topped in 5/12 months last year.

This week I scooped a package to the North American Poker Tour in the Venetian. It was great to win, as I was planning on going to the NAPT but it's never nice putting up a $5k buy-in!

Ok, well nothing has changed in Vegas. Myself and Dave played the $1k PLO with a bunch of spastics; it got only 18 runners.

Marty Smyth may be scuba diving on an island off Oz and John O'Shea at the Mardi Gras in New Orleans, but I think I drew the long straw getting to go to Clonmel for the coursing festival.

In October 2009 Boylepoker.com online poker player Peter Murphy began the Multiplier Challenge x2. His goal was to turn $1,000 into $40,000 in 11 weeks playing poker at the site.

Well the deadline has passed for completion of my challenge and I didn't quite get there, which I am a little disappointed with.

Just arrived in Vegas, I loved the feeling of arriving here, especially at night.
