Major update.

After being sick i had a birthday to go to for a few days, but now i am back to play again.
Also some things happened in mean time.

Matthew Hilger, the writer of the book ' Internet Texas Hold'em, winning strategies from a pro ' offered me a free copy of his book and ofcourse i accepted the offer and promissed to publish a review of this book.
I received the book 2 days ago and will start reading/study it this weekend.

An irc buddy ( hya Roth ) started to play some serious poker 2 days ago and i was able to refer him to a site ( absolute poker ) where i received a nice referrer bonus of $100.
Roth managed to win a tournament on empire on the same day as he started to be serious about poker. So congrats on a nice win and i hope many will follow.

This is it for now and i hope i will see you all at the poker tables soon.
Before i forget, if anyone has a spare copy of Dan Harrington's Tournament book volume 2 , i will be happy to receive it.

Being sick doesnt help.

Sorry, atm no updates as i am sick.
Eating loads of fruits and vegetables trying to recover as soon as possible.

Growing bankroll.

Although i don't play much these days i still manage to win a few $.

Yesterday i played the $5k freeroll at Bet365 and i must admit that i was playing one of my worst tournaments ever but still managed to finish 136th out of 6177 entrants giving me $7.50 .
This morning i played 3 small sng's also at Bet365 and i managed to win 2 of them, meaning i can add $26.30 to my bankroll.

On a different note, i really enjoy playing with the Xbox which my son got for his 8th birthday ;-) .

Omaha hi/lo tournament.

Last night i went to bed early but could not sleep at all, i fired up my pc and saw this omaha hi/lo pot limit tournament at absolute poker and signed up.
With 75 entrees only 9 places paid, unfortunally by the time when i reached the final i was tired and half sleeping and due to poor at that time i went out in the 9th place and went to bed, still i can add some $ to the bankroll.

Adding $6 to the bankroll.

After some days of silence i am back again and today i enjoyed playing a limit omaha tournament at absolute poker and finished 3rd out of 1000 players, making myself $6,- .

I played a $10k freeroll at Expekt yesterday and although i played a very good tournament i finished 394th out of 10k players, % wise not too bad but with only 130 places paid i ended up with nothing.
Good thing is that they will have a 10k freeroll tomorrow again at 18.30 cet (believe it is 12.30 est) so i will have another try.

I will do a poker book review in 2-3 weeks so if you have a book to be reviewed let me know.

Time for some dinner now, hope to see you all at the tables soon.

Having a good time and earning $1.50

Finally some small freeroll succes. Through Parbet on the prima network i played a $1k freeroll and although the huge field of 11.000 players i managed to finish in 182nd place earning $1.50. Although it is just a small amount and i wasnt playing the best of poker i had a great time playing.

I have been asked which sites i play on the prima network and i must admit that i have an account at about 10 sites. Lately i play mainly through Parbet as they have 2 decent $1500 freerolls a week besides the regular prima freerolls with compared to other freerolls only a few players (about 700-800 active players).

I noticed that Absolute poker has this very nice $5000 freeroll with max 2000 players today but unfortunally for me its at 3 am my time and i will be sleeping then.
Good luck to those who will play it.

Charity decision.

Barry Greenstein got back to me with an excellent idea where little money can make a big difference. At http://www.children-inc.org/ you can become a sponsor for a child or donate for special projects.
And as children are innocent and the future this is a good place to start with.

So help some children have a decent education and a normal life by clicking the ads and search through the google search at this blog.

Concentration and tiredness.

Unfortunally i haven't played all the tournaments which i wanted but it is no loss as due to some sleeping problems last few days i can not focus at all.

Ofcourse i played some small tournaments but after an hour i am just too tired to concentrate and also lose intrest to play. I will try to play the $3.5k one at NordicBet seriously in about an hour but i fear that tiredness will preveal.

Also some good news, my son will have his 8th birthday on thursday which he is really looking forward too and keeps asking what his present will be.
I wonder who of us will play most on his new xbox or playstation (still need to decide and buy).
