I have created a new website which lists the takeaway food shops and restaurants in the town where I live, I've also included menu's for their products, we get so many menu's posted through our door and they mostly get chucked in the bin, so this website is sort of eco friendly version of the menu's.

My personal challenge
So I know my blog hasn't been updated much and I jump from saying one thing in one post to another thing in another post and its all a bit crap really, i've decide to buckle down and get my shit together.
Here is my personal challenge, I have $40.15 in my BlueSQ account (ipoker site), im going to try and turn it into 1k playing sit'n'go's (this was inspired by the boku challenge) by the end of July 2009, i will start at the 0.50+0.10 full ring single tables and work my way up when I have around 45-50 buy-ins for each level, I will play 4-8 tables at a time. It's gonna be tuff going as I don't generally run well on that site but my fortune has gotta change sometime.
I am also trying to qualify for the WSOP ME through the steps on Absolute Poker, ive started right at the bottom step which is 10c+1 and currently have five step 2 tickets and another two for step 1, ive got 4 ish month's to do this, my account on AP sits at just over $31.
I'm really gonna concentrate on sit'n'go's and put some volume in, here's wishing me luck.
here's a screen shot of my BlueSQ account & Sharkscope before I start my challenge :
Many thanks for reading this.

The GRIND begins
Well it's now 2009, I didn't have a good 2008 in poker as I basically lost loads of money through some stupid plays and being a little drunk whilst playing, it's not a good idea to mix poker and alcohol so its gonna change from now on.
Since my bankroll has been devestated I will have to go back to square one, the life of a micro-grinder here I come. For the next few months I will be playing the smallest games on Pokerstars and Betfair, this will be to build up my BR again and hopefully by the start of april I should be able to move up some levels but we will see what happens.
I will be playing sng's and mtt's, gotta stay away from the cash tables as I suck ass on those.

Not Much......
There hasn't been much to write about currently, i've not had any good cashes in any tornaments i've played and I lost money on the cash tables so its looking bleak, still it's poker so it could all change very quickly.
Sad News : William Hill is moving from cryptologic network which is going to cease operations and become a member of boss network, WillHill will move to the ipoker network which as i've already stated i'm now dubiase about so no more play on WillHill for me then. SunPoker is also going onto ipoker from cryptologic so its even worse news, sorry.
Going to see my daughter to day so it aint all bad.

Is online poker rigged?
I've read loads of posts on major forums saying how online poker is rigged, most have just been badbeats and the players are basically venting their frustrations. Online poker has had a rough time this last year or so, with the Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet superuser scandals and the use of BOTS on Full Tillt it is very clean that online poker can be rigged or people can cheat.
The reason I bring this up is that I have my suspicions of something thats not completely legitimate on the ipoker network, the other day I was playing a points buy-in tornament on the VC Poker skin, now this is gonna just sound like a badbeat but from the start of the game it felt like the cards were being dealt against me, for instance I would be in the big blind with KQ off, two players limp in and we see the flop, it would be something like A 10 4 rainbow, yeah sure I could chase the draw but I just got this feeling it would never hit. This situation came up about 3 or 4 times in the first 30min and it seemed it was destined to make me go broke, well i resisted the urge to chase the draws and then boom I get dealt AA, someone with half the size of my stack shoves pre-flop everyone else fold so I call, he shows something like 22 and obv hits a 2 so he takes half my chips, then 1 hand later I get dealt KK, someone shoves who just about has me covered, everyone else folds and I call as im now short stacked, yet again they hit some ridiculous card to send me out.
This sort of thing has happened loads to me on both of the ipoker skins I use (not at the same time so no multi-accounting), this has made me question the network and withdraw all of the funds I had on there, it is a real shame as ipoker was one of the first networks i started on.
Im not saying it is rigged, I could be just having some god awful bad luck but I think i'll take a break from ipoker and see how I feel in the new year.
On a better note, i'm playing lots more on PokerStars and loving every minute of it so it aint all bad.
