So I've been donkin' around in the poker world for a few years now and have decided to get a little more serious about it or get out.
Due to various family commitments my b.roll has been chopped back to $500 on Stars and €167 on i poker.
I have no b.roll building targets or anything like that atm. My main aim is to improve my game and hopefully the results will follow. I am taking my first poker lesson on Monday and will hopefully work on some leaks etc. I 'm nervous and excited at the same time about this. I am a primary school teacher who is about to get schooled by a younger kid.
With 1 month's holidays left I intend to spend as much of it as possible putting in some volume at MTTs. That might prove difficult with 2 young children and building work going on around the house. But here's hoping to getting some decent volume in.
I'm currently sitting in 90th place on Pocket Fives (Ireland Only). Let's aim for 70th by end of August.
Self Banned from live tournaments.
This week is the race week in Galway which has a few good value tournaments on.
Last weekend was the Waterford Masters where Jason Thompkins finally broke onto the winner's podium and more importantly is well on the road to full health again.
Next weekend is EMOP Dublin which is a tournament I had planned to play this year. And then there's the UKIPT in Edinburgh.
In the past I have drained bankrolls trying to qualify for live events and am refusing to play sats for live events for the foreseeable future. Although I'm +ev in many of the live events on the Irish circuit I don't feel that I'm ev enough when travel expenses, food and accommodation are taken into consideration. So there won't be any new flags flying on my Hendon Mob for a while.
For now this is probably just a blog to myself . Maybe down the line I'll put it out there. Let's see where the journey goes.
