About Me

Kildare Town, Kildare, Ireland
I started this blog because of my intrest in Poker ... but then I realised I could also use it to show off some of my photos and even add more pages when i find something else im interested in..

Why online poker

So why did I start playing poker online............. Well I got curious after seeing Poker night live on telly (a show dedicated to online poker , no longer showing ) so i thought I would try it out not thinking I would be as intrested in playing poker as I am . Now I play whenever I can , I love the ups and downs .. well not the downs so much ..... of poker , And I really love when I win a tournament and make a lot of money.......................... and yes I do win , not all the time , but I win more than I loose , so its a hobby I can make money from ............. now isnt that the best sort of hobby to have.

Why a blog

Hi I decided to creat a blog for a couple of reasons , firstly to attract more people to a web site i am putting to gether , So you can say this is a form of advertising for my web site.
And also to have somewhere to write about my poker experiences.
And to show some photos (I also like photography as a hobby, but i have done some work for money too, eg a few weddings , and lots of photo shoots, anyway hope you like the photos I get to put up. )

Omaha rebuy in the money again

Yes in the money again ..... my morning $5 rebuy.....61 entrants ...... top 8 get paid ....... finished 7th ....... made $41 not much .... but got back the cost of all my entry fees since I started blogging. It was another tough game ..... only managed to increase my starting chips of 1,500 to 4,500 by the end of the first hour ......... and around a hour later i was still hanging on to them ... but with the blinds increasing to 400 , 800 and down to my last 3,000 chips I had to push all in when I got a good hand and a raise before me ....... ended up with 3 of us in the hand .... and again I hit and trebled up to just over 10,000 chips ...... and within 8 more hands I was up to 25,000 chips and in 6th place out of 15 ...... not much happened then for a while ..... held onto these chips and made the final table ....... another player got knocked out ... leaving 9 of us .. and then it was a very tentative table for about 20 minutes ..... no one wanting to bubble ...... but it has to happen .... and one of the regular and a very good players in this tournament got all his chips in with aces only to be out drawn ..... and now we were in the money . A few minutes later another player got knocked out of the game and then it was my turn ..... everybody folded around to me ( I was the small blind ) i got two kings in my 4 cards so i raise the big blind and he calls ....... the flop comes three spades and I'm smiling as i have the king of spades and another spade ... giving me a flush .. so I just check and he dose to ..... the turn comes and I just push all in ... didn't think there was much chance of getting called and wanted to get on to the next hand ... And guess what he calls ........ and what has he ............................ only the ace high flush draw .... and that was it for me ...... I was left sitting there looking at the screen ........... Oh don't you love poker
