Started working yesterday after my xmas break, it feels great – I’m just not the kind of person who can do nothing for very long without getting frustrated. Most of my focus at the moment is on my site reviews, with some new thinking behind these as well as new words. This post will also cover 2 excellent promotions for tournament fans in Jan ’12 – one from Party and the other from Stars. Continue Reading »

2012 approaching fast, and with it an opportunity to make a ‘fresh start’ with your poker game, or maybe become more disciplined about improving certain aspects of an already solid system… New year resolutions do not need to be about losing weight, getting fit or giving up those pleasures in life! I thought I’d put together a list of 100 possible poker new year resolutions to choose from… some serious, others light-hearted. Continue Reading »

We all have a dream of an early $2 Million xmas present for taking down the biggest Sunday Million ever on the 18th Dec – in the $10,000,000 version of the weeks biggest poker tournament… Well, someone will get it!

Quite a weekend ahead, with a world-record attempt at Pokerstars and the release of promotions at several other major sites.

Made one of my infrequent visits to 2+2 last night, and found a great thread which got me thinking about a couple of new terms. This came just as I played a couple of 180 SNGs in which literally every one of my opponents was playing 8+ tables… a combined ‘view from the tables’ below. Continue Reading »

Going to be a busy month for me in December, I set myself a tough goal in terms of revenue and will be going all out to meet it.
