In the beginning

Well I guess this is as good a time as any to start a blog - I enjoy reading those of other people so hopefully what I have to say will amuse/entertain/ make people think.

I won't claim to be a great poker player but will start this off with a résumé of whats happened so far.

Having led a bit of a Bohemian lifestyle I was finally introduced to the wonders of the wwwwweb pretty much exactly one year ago - Nov 2006.

Having played cards since about the age of 5 - mainly 13 card brag (or Crash as my Dad's mates called it) I was naturally intrigued by the idea of online poker and an initial win of $3:10 in a Ladbrokes poker freeroll turned into over 400$ by the end of April 2007.

Playing about 30 hours per week this free bankroll allowed me to gain a lot of experience - in 4 months I went from being somebody who thought that A10 UTG was an immediate all in to being competitive in most mtt's I entered.

That 400 was soon lost but coming back from a July on the road in England with the band I somehow ended up playing tea chest for a deposit of 200$ turned into a $2500 roll on
Ladbrokes - nothing spectacular but some decent cashes in the late night $10 rebuy and winning the graveyard 40$ freezout were the highlights.

As I write this i'm pretty much back down to being level for the year having had a run of bad play and bad beats but hope to be updating this blog soon with tales of wonder and awe and a central theme of poker.

So gl all at the tables, peace, love and sweet dreams one and all.
