i like the way you played the 2 midpairs in the DTD sat Jack, i don"t think you are ever going to get exploited by players in these sats because people play tight(generally) at late stages and you prob have a tight image. In a std tournament i wouldn"t be raise/folding either of them.

Good luck in the deepstack and in any other tournament you play.
Looking forward to making my first day 2

Gutted you"re not going to Spain Paul :(

No poker for me tonight. I was summoned to my sister"s to attempt to get her broadband working. Moving on...

Looking forward to getting a relatively early night tonight when England take a 3-1 Ashes series away win with an opening over hat-trick.

And that"s England. Not England & Wales or (roflcopters) Wales & England! Okay, England & South Africa...maybe.

You Welshies should just stick to pwning us at poker. Leave the cricket to the fellas that invented it.

Simon Jones was an honorary Englishman btw.

As reported a day or two ago, I binked a seat in the weekend"s DTD Deepstack starting at 5pm on Saturday.

In an epic instance of social diary mis-management, whilst flicking through next week"s Radio Times, I noticed the biggest rugby game of the domestic rugby season, my beloved Leicester Tigers v Northampton Saints is on Sky at, you guessed it, 5pm :(

On the plus side JP, I"ve never missed a Tigers" TV appearance that they haven"t won! Having said that, I could be home for the start of the second half. It"s only a 40 minute journey.

Great blog jack and was very interesting. I have so much to say but i will try and keep it brief mate lol

Books: Every hand reveal by Gus Hansen (which i left on the plane coming back from my honeymoon DOH!)  :(
Tournament tips from the pros by Shane Smith
The big book of poker by Ken warren

Autobiographies: For richer for poorer by Vicky Coren
Shut up and deal by Jesse May
The life and times of a poker legend and swimming with the devilfish by (of course) Devilfish
Check-raising the devil by Mike Matusow

Basic books: poker for dummies and super system along with Dan Harrington

Videos: rounders and Stu ungar


On the bankroll decussion, play with 5 to 10% max only
write down all tournies you play live and online with dates, times and how many players etc with finishing position and winnings. Subtract buy ins from winnings to see if you are up or down in profit

Having played with you before i think you have a solid game and i dont think you should worry too much about your game. Having qualified for the super 50 at xmas and the 300 (well done and good luck mate) and do well as capt for Notts your results speak for themselves. sorry for going all in with u when i had pocket sevens but i went with my gut

im the opposite to you and have a photographic memory but i always make the same mistakes when i have pocket nines, 10s and jacks. Experience is taught from your own mistakes so im still learning.    

Congrats on the weight loss! It takes a lot of dedication to achieve that and if you do this in poker you will go far

Keeping fit: to keep weight off i run 10 k (6.25 miles) a week and go to gym 3-4 times a week with lots or cardio training, play golf (hench the name tiger) and still play vets football lol. My son plays for wolves academy so my weekends are always busy so i never get time to play live and ive never done a deepstack either. lets us know how you get on in yours. 

was that brief enough? :-\
