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. )

8th Again

This is getting repetitive ................ played my $5 omaha rebuy his morning came 8th ......... you are probably saying to yourself where did I read that before ........ also probably wondering what type of poker player am i seeing as i haven't won a tourney since i started this blog .............. well you can have that when you always miss the money ........... and then maby a couple of weeks where you make the money two , three or more times in a week .................. and another factor affecting my omaha tourney is the starting numbers is increasing ............ when i first started playing this tourney about a year ago you would be lucky if they were 15 players ....... now there is regularly between 40 and 50 ............. which affects the amount of times you are in the money.

Dealers Wanted

Now that sounds like a interesting job ............ came across a article on a Irish poker site where they are looking for people to train to be poker dealers ............. so I have E-mailed them to find out more .... as I would be interested in this as a part time job ........ so if you think this would be the perfect job for you as well stay posted or leave a comment

No limit holdem cash

Also played a cash table while playing my omaha tourney, no limit holdem ........ finished up $4 again not much........ but for me anytime i come off a cash table with more than I started with that will do. Like all Limit holdem tables I played recently the play was loose , so I tryed to keep my game tight ............... I still had some bad beats but by keeping tight I won big pots when I did play and win.

Omaha rebuy

What can I say my morning game of Omaha over again ,..... another 8th place...just outside the money again (top 5 get paid ) but it was a good game , no bad mistakes i can think of ..... had one lucky hand got 9,A,A,J ( DIDN'T THINK OF WRITING DOWN THE SUITS) I remember the A,J were suited....... the first player to act raises two times the big blind , the next couple of players fold , I reraise the pot limit ( To hopefully make the next two players fold , which happens) he reraises all in and I called, He has 9,A,A,Q ..........PRACTICALLY THE SAME HAND AS ME,..... I thought split pot ........flop came 5,10,Q nothing to worry about there, then came ...Q....... oh oh I'm in big trouble now he has trip Qs ...........There is not much I can hit to win this hand .....in fact I have to hit a 8 or a K ..........and guess what comes on the river a K , got out of that nicely and got a big pot of chips.
