I am in NZ and have taken some great walks in the Abel Tasman National Park (Nelson) NZ.  This is an amazing experience, it’s all so fresh.  I am staying at the Split Apple Retreat with Lee Nelson who is also providing me with a very healthy diet. The pictures show everything here is like pure magic. Read more »

The world of poker is a very complex structure built around players, the online poker sites and casinos that provide the games, the limits and games played, rake, backers, and a lot more, and in the end, trying to provide the best game possible that helps everyone.  The entire situation with Townsend, Hastings, and Cole involving their combined knowledge and play against Ilsuldur1 leaves a bad smell in the air for everyone, especially for Full Tilt since Townsend is one of their Red Pros.   Read more »

Today’s blog is going to be a little interesting perhaps for some.

I want to share some of my past with you. I think I remember my childhood from about the age where my grandmother died.

I have been having a go with the big boys on Full Tilt Poker.  I am about 150k up which is not bad.  LOL, I know.  I know it’s just luck.  I am never going to claim that I am a pro player, but I can play with the best of them and I play well enough to cover the rent every month.  I love poker and can mix it up with the best even if it’s just for a few hands.  I treat poker as a hobby.  It’s not something I want to run my life.  I want poker to be a hobby and I don’t want to become a poker hobbit and just try to get lucky and crave for it and then try not to play too much.  Read more »
