The 32Red Blog freeroll was a good success, and alot of fun to play in. I hope everyone really enjoyed it, but one man that is sure to have done so is the winner levif4, many congratulations to him! Read on for my detailed report (more…)
For kids, it’s Christmas. It’s that time of year when the excitement starts months beforehand, and steadily builds to a fever pitch. For poker players, that special time of year is the World Series of Poker, and the adult equivalent of writing a letter to Santa is to pour over the schedule of events that has just been released. I’ve been taking a look at it myself, and have come to a pretty interesting conclusion.
Today was alot of fun at the Broadway. I saw alot of friends for the first time in weeks, had some good banter, and enjoyed the familiar friendly faces of the UK circuit.
Though fiercely contested, the poker left a few more openings to exploit than those ice-cold Scandies would allow in the EPT. Things had started off well to, at least from a decisions point of view. I managed to pass a rivered flush, after my 43 of clubs had made an unwelcome “improvement” to a flush after turning the nut straight on K652. Dave Penly showed the nut flush, and a slight dip to the stack was made up for by a boost to the confidence. (more…)
Well, here is the update from day one of the EPT in Copenhagen:
0:00 I’m really excited at the start, but the table draw doesn’t bring great news. No really big names, but I’m bizarrely one of the oldest at a table full of young Scandies.
1:15 An unspectacular start sees me still with 10k; Joe Serok has had a bump down to 4.5k, and raises to 250 on the button. The small blind calls, and I find kings in the big blind. I raise to 800, delighted to be representing the squeeze, and Serok moves all-in.
1:16 Everything now seems to happen in a flash. I call, he turns over AcQd, and just as I am thinking “it’s either 5k or 15k,”…. the dealer deals a flop of QQ10. A body blow sees me down to 5,000.
4:00 I go to the dinner break with Roberto and Andrew Feldman, having built up a little to 7k. (more…)

The European poker trip was flying, but it just came to an abrupt end. The fact that I am now on the flight back home from Prague means that it’s not good news from today’s EPT Main Event.
The seventh hour of play saw the end of my struggle, as I lost my race to get back into the tournament, with my 
unable to outdraw the 
of my opponent. It was a day on which nothing seemed to go right, and served as a reminder that tournament poker throws up as many frustrating days as it does the kind of great day that I had before the final table in Paris. (more…)
I am currently in the air between Paris and Prague, where the next installment of the EPT starts tomorrow, in what has become an unlikely and unexpected poker road trip. Though it is a lot of fun to travel to these kind of places, I am already missing the people and comforts of home. For the first time, I can feel a tiny bit of sympathy for the older English guys, and the way things used to be.
