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. )

Ups and Downs

Its being a week of ups and downs ... more downs though ..... had my biggest win of the week last night in my 2 euro omaha rebuy ... a good game ... and after a 30 minutes heads up we made a deal and finished the game ... bringing in another 107 euro ... other than that had 3 other finishes in the money in this game during the week .. but all were for under 20 euro and like most of the games i played this week ... both in my 2 euro and my $5 games .... they were frustrating games where i got all my chips in with the best hand only to loose on the river ..... but the hard part was that for most of these games the person who called and knocked me out made terrible calls and just got lucky .... this probably is the part of poker that takes the longest to get used too ... and you definitely don't feel like writing about it when it happens ..... eg why i haven't posted this week .... but from now on ill just grit my teeth and post ..... as painful as it may be.
