General

It was another near miss for me this weekend, I grinded pretty hard on Sunday with no luck.

After a quiet enough weekend where I did very little, we're back in full battle mode.

This was the question I was asked returning from a smoke in Clane from a random person I didn't know.

I've been grinding away on Boyles the last few days, winning $5k on Tuesday but unfortunately dropping $3,500 yesterday.

Well the picks I put up in the sports blog went 2/3 with the tennis bet Eoghan O' Dea shipped me going south.

I've fairly radically changed my life, for the better in the long term but probably for the worse short term and the entertainment level of this blog has definitely been affected!

I'm back from skiing fully refreshed and ready to rock on the 2012 goals I set for myself.

I think we've seen this event change in one way or another every year since it's inception in 2006.

Had a disaster of a weekend in the City West. The only small silver lining was that I won my ticket in the Super Sat the night before.

I went out to Citywest the night before the WPT for the Super Sat.

I'm going to be very original and call this blog 'back to work'. I guess it's aptly named as I've done fuck all over the Christmas period but that was to be expected.

Here are my goals for the New Year. Given that I know that I have about a 40/60 spilt in my working week between poker and sports betting, I am going to have to cut back on some of my poker goals.

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and got over the New Year without too bad a hangover.

I usually do a long annual review but like John, I just can't be arsed, as it wouldn't be interesting for me to write or for anyone to read.

I said I'd do a detailed review of the year but quite frankly I can't be arsed nor do I think it would have been any real interest so here is a quicky.

I've been taking it pretty easy last few days. I was out for a Christmas dinner on Saturday with my school friends which got pretty messy.

With virtually no poker on in Ireland for the next two weeks, I had thought I would be enjoying a break from the tournament schedule until the WPT in January but...

I'm starting to look forward to Christmas now. I have been swamped with college work and finding this year very tough going. So attention has moved from poker to college for the time being.

Got dicked out of the EPT Prague and then got dicked out of the EPT Prague high-roller.

If I'm ever feeling poker isn't going great, the answer is always to go and play in Cork.
