Groundhog Day...
I am begining to know just how Phil Connors felt during his visit to Punxsutawney, PA, in 1993!!!
I have now been playing a Step 3 SnG (on Stars) every night since Feb 2nd!! I accumulate a few chips and then get cold decked in 3rd, 4th or 5th place... rinse, repeat... when will it all end??
In other news... I went to Asper's in Northampton last Saturday night, with Rich and got drawn in the seat next to him, ffs! I finished in 12th place, waaay out of the money. More details, more eloquently put, on Rich's blog - HERE.
Oh, and my knee is feeling a bit better and I've started hitting a few balls [gingerly!]. Thanks for all the 'get well soon' cards.

Pimp My Blog...
As you can see... I've been busy trying to be a smartass and posh the blog up a bit. No easy job, trust me, for an ageing brain like mine!! Anyway, I had a go, and I quite like it.
On the steps front, I now have one step 3 and one step 2 ticket... I had to invest a further $15 in step 1 buy-ins to get there. I've been giving the $25NL 6-max cash a bash on Boss... same old shit* - different site!!! Somehow though I have managed to show a small, but steady profit.
Me and Dickus Minimus will be off to Walsall bright and early Saturday lunchtime, to take part in the £75 APAT UK Amatuer Poker Champs. The Grosvenor Walsall was site of my finest hour in live APAT competition... This time last year, a creditable 18th of 201, for the princely sum of £400 of your English pounds. Ah, those were the days... a pound was worth a pound and the best part of two bucks!
If any of 'The Pigeons' stalwarts are reading this, fear not... the odds are very much against Rich and/or myself still being at the final table by 6.00pm Sunday evening, we will almost certainly be back for the real poker challenge by 7.30pm.
*'Same old shit' is defined as... the usual mix [for me, anyway] of ridiculous bad-beats and idiotic attempts to bluff nits off of the nuts!

Why Do I bother...
$25NL 6-max Cash on Stars, KK OTB...
Whilst I accept that calling the Turn Check/Shove may not be the optimal play... surely I didn't deserve that???

Do you currently play on iPoker?
Then why not give blonde poker a go?
The iPoker network don't allow their sites to offer 'rakeback', but blonde poker do operate a 'Loyalty Scheme'... essentially,if you rake >$100 in a calendar month then they will pay a 'loyalty bonus' equal to 30% of your rake.
None of these blonde poker links are 'affiliate' links... I get nuttin' if you decide to play there, you'll just be helping out those good folks at blonde, who have happened upon hard times just now.

++ LATE [POKER] RESULT ++
I've played so little poker in the last month or so that it hasn't been worth commenting on... and I almost forgot to mention the bit that was!!
So anyway, it was it Chritmas Eve and I was having a browse through the new posts on the blonde forum... an old adversary from the Tribecca days on Blue Square, then known as PiratePab (aka Paul Foltyn, aka Paolo69 on Stars), was offering to stake 5 random folks into the $55 Daily Eighty Grand tourney on Stars. I put my name forward and was selected... result #1.
To cut a 5 1/2 hour story short I came 24th of 1314 for the princely sum of $272... $108 profit after shipping the buy-in and 50% of the remainder back to Pab... Thankyou Sir for the oppurtunity, a shame I couldn't have taken down the $14k+ first prize!!!
