Running Good ! Can It Continue?
Running Good - It can't continue, can it?Here are my live results for 2006 so far.
Jan 8 City West €250 Entry Fee €0 Result OTM Return €0 (I won a Satelitte, and Shortstack 'took a piece of me, hence the €0 entry fee)
Jan 10 The Fitz €50 double chance, 53 runners, 1st place
Jan 13 Anglers Rest Scalps €25 (1 rebuy), 52 runners, 1st place

I haven't had any dry spell since I started playing live last August, this is a particular purple patch though, and it's nice to know that on the 21st January, I have already secured enough funds to bankroll me through the rest of this year, based on playing €25 rebuys or €50 Freezeouts, playing 2 nights per week ... happy days. Surely it can't continue, I'm prepared for a bad run, I hope it doesn't come, but if it does, I'm going to stick to the same poker I've been playing regardless.
I'm playing a little more live poker than normal at the moment due to our imminent departure from Dublin, so I'm going to squeeze in as much play as I can, because I know that a good game is hard to find down the west, however things are improving quickly, so it shouldn;t be too bad.
My goal this year is to play in the bigger tournament, the ones that take a full day to play out, rather than the hectic night time games where you have to race to stay ahead of the blinds. So I'm delighted in my recent run to have secured tickets to
€50+€50 Anglers Rest Jan 28th
€250 Drogheda Feb 5th
€20 Team Event Anglers Rest Feb 11th
and also a €250 ticket for the March Drogheda tournament as well.
All these are full day events, and I'm especially looking forward to the team event which will be a drink fest !
Vegas Nights are also running a league over the next 3 months, the top 25 point scorers will be brought on an all expenses paid weekend to London, so I'vbe half an eye on that as well.
Prize money isn't great at the vegas night tourneys because they limit it normally to a €50 spend, so you don't get the frenzy that goes on in Drogheda, but the prize pool in Drogheda makes it very much worthwhile....however they are both good set ups in their own right.
www.vegasbabypoker.com is going well, I got some business referral cards yesterday, and will start a little advertisment online and offline over the next couple of weeks.
Big Dragon is making a fecking fortune from the site, and The Snapper is also going very well, the Canadian players on the site are truly atrocious, and I haven't met anyone that doesn't agree with me. Any readers of this blog ... you really should try it out, fish in a barrell!
Interesting to see that a company was formed this week called "Andy Black Poker Ltd", I wonder what he's got up his sleeve.
Forest are going OK, keeping in touch with play off positions, I've really lost alot of interest in them at this stage, I look out for their results, see who scored (a rarity), glance at their position in the table, and that's about it.
Planning permission in Sligo is running into problems, need to make amendments to house design, but sure that's par for the course really, it's a money making racket for the County Councils, as we will have to re-apply now, with another fee of course.
Going to New York for Paddy's Day, hope to get to Atlantic City with the brother in law for some POKER as well.
OK folks, that's it ... have to head down to Mayo now, so must get cracking.
P.S If you read this leave a message, just so I know that at least there is other people out there sad enough to be interested in blogs !
Keep Lucky.
