-12k sterling
I just broke through the negative 12k barrier for 2009 earnings.
*bows*
And that’s just in play – it doesn’t include poker expenses like train travel, hotel bills, leggo/stox subs, internet bills. Nor does it include life expenses like rent/groceries/utilities.
Yay me. I guess I’m stepping down limits/tables some for a little while. For people who think my [...]

As it turned out I was cursing my preregistration come the [...]

Albert (220 gbp NLH – Brighton)
I recognise one player at my starting table, Albert, an older gentleman who can most kindly be described as a passive hyperlag with occasional berserker tendencies. I’m happy. Today should be a good day.
1st Hand two limps and I have QTo in the HJ at 25/50 6k starting. I limp along as does Albert on [...]
