I've finally managed to cash (very small) in a larger field tornament (1300+ players) on Pokerstars, this has meant that I got some ranking points on PocketFives. I set myself a goal for 2008 which was to become the highest ranked player in my home town and surrounding area according to p5's tornament rankings so i'm finally on my way.
I've had some good micro limit cash games lately on both Pokerstars and Ladbrokes and overall my bankroll in on the up and up.

If I only had a brain...
Well I havent posted for awhile and im going to make sure that I post more regularly.
I havent played much poker at all recently except a few sit'n go's which havent gone well, yesterday was a bank holiday so I decided to go up my local club and have a couple beers.
I ended up meeting my dad in there and getting pissed which leads me to the title of this post because after my dad left I decided it would be a good idea to get the laptop out and play some poker, you know where this is going, I loaded up PokerStars and hit the cash tables, within 20mins I busted my bankroll and am now left with just over $1 in my account, good game me.
I have brought Sit'n Go Strategy by Collin Moshman (he also coaches on stoxpoker) so i'm gonna read that this week and hope that it gives me some enthusiasm to play sng's and steer clean of the bloody cash tables.

BlueSQ river shite...
Over the last few days i've been playing alot of MTT's, there was this tornament on BlueSQ last night called Once in a Blue Moon, I read about it a few days ago and thought it would be good value to play so I deposited on BlueSQ (dunno why as I run soooooooooo bad on there) and registered for the torney.
In the last few days I played a few freerolls on BSQ and had no success, I always lose on the river card, it's so standard for me now on there. Yesterday morning I played a irish masters qualifier and got to the final table, 5 places got a seat, after acouple of lucky chand I got down to final six players, I had K10 off and was in sb with only utg+1 the only caller so I 3 bet raise, bb folds and the utg+1 calls, flop comes 4 K J so I shove all-in and the guy calls, his cards were J6 off, turn comes 8 and then the bloody river a 6 so I bust out on the bubble.
That put me on tilt and throu the whole day the river killed me, then I get to the Once in a blue moon torney with 591 players and $3000 added to prize pool, less than 15 minutes in I bust out holding AK against 44, two over cards and not one hit the community cards, bloody BlueSQ, I wont be playing on there again.

Weekend VOODOO!
I never seem to be able to play good poker at the weekends, it's always been a bad time for me and I can't put my finger on why. It might be that more players are on during the weekend so I get sucked out on more, or it could be that coz it's the weekend I might have had one too many stella's and my judgement is impaired, I dunno what it is but weekends suck for me at poker.
I got 64th out of 160 players in the NPP weekly 5k torney for $0 in money. I also had a shocking run on Blue SQ in sng's and didn't manage a money place in any of them. Lost on UB aswell so the whole weekend was a blowout.

Goodtimes at VC Poker
As the title says its Goodtimes at VC Poker, I have played on a couple different ipoker/playtech sites and never done anything on them but for some strange reason i'm going well on VC Poker (touch wood). I basically have increased my initial deposit to 4 times the size in the month of January and the first few days of Feb so it's going to plan.
I have also had some little cash increases on Ladbrokes which has always seemed to be a good site for me so that is just is normal.
I've decided to cashout from Pacific Poker, I just don't seem to be getting to grips with it, I don't know if it's the software or the layout or even the players but I have the feeling that if I continue to play on there I will continue to lose so i'm cutting my loses and running.

So far this year...
I hadn't really played much poker recently and didn't really want to, friday (25th jan) I decided to knuckle down and play awhile and I had some ok results. I got a 5th and 8th in 180 man sit'n'go's on full tilt, I won a 45 man sit'n'go on pokerstars & played alittle cash game on ladbrokes.
The cash game was funny as I got onto a table and there was this guy who basically was gobbing off at people and calling them fish and donkeys, my second hand I played against him I won a few dollars, he started to go off on one telling me how bad I played. I said fine lets play heads-up for whatever he has on that site, he tried to give me some line about waiting untill midnight so he could put more on, I didn't go for it and said just play with what you have now, turns out he only had like $40, I went onto a HU table and told him I was waiting, he joined the table and said "let's do this fish" so first hand he was big blind and i had 22, i raised 3 times the blind he went all-in, I called, I know it was a stupid thing to do but I had a couple of drinks and was playing just for a laugh, I dunno what he had but I hit a 2 on the turn for trips and he went busto, guess that shut him up. lol.
No good results for the weekend or so far today (mon 28th), hopefully will put some scores in soon.
