Anyway I've been a busy man over the last few weeks.... I'm building a new house for the last few months and now that it's coming near completion I've been working on it most days only leaving me time for poker in the evenings... which I might add has been no harm as daytime poker has got so so tight over the last few months on i-poker... I'm actually threatening to change sites soon for daytime play but to find somewhere that meets my needs is tough enough.... I like i-poker as I have a very good relationship with the site I play on and they really look after me.... I'm actually 3rd in their cash race this month so far and with a little bit of effort I could get to first but anywhere in the top 5 would be nice...
Poker : I've been running pretty ok over the last month or so with the last few days being exceptional.. I put in a lot of hands over the last few days and the hard work paid off as did my newish laggier play.... now playing about 25/22 which is not really lag but it's certinly not nitty..
Here's some graphs of the last few days.. I've been mixing it up between 100nl and 200nl but I find I am crushing 100nl so much it might be worthwhile staying here for a while longer although well bankrolled for 1/2 and even for 2/4 maybe
Friday
Saturday
That bit of positive variance doesn't mant that the beats haven't been coming either... there have been plenty.... and some real bad runner runners as well as loads of coolers but I rarely tilt anymore when this happens but one of the most bizzare hands happened this week I've seen in a long time... 3 way AIPF .. someone raises guy in the middle flat calls I rr and the 1st guy pushes and the guy in the middle pushes and it's back to me with my AA..... what happened felt worse then loosing a 400bb pot!!
Me in the middle in case you hadn't guessed...lol
Coaching :
I've recieved some coaching in the past from the infamous Jellyfish aka HJ from boards and found it helpful to my game at the time and certainly has been a large part of my transition from live to online play...
I've been referring a number of players to HJ since then and they all found it worthwhile... A while ago a friend of mine wanted to play online but was loosing considerably altough quite a successful live player so I agreed to show him the basics of online cash play and it has worked out quite succesfull for him and he referred another guy to me and then another and now I've been dabbling in the coaching for the last while and I enjoy the new challenge it presents with the satisfaction in seeing them improve their games and turn around a loosing streak...
Sweden: A cold place with hot women?
It's really all I know about it but I'm travelling there next week to have a look at a poker job/opportunity that has been presented to me... I'll update here when I know more as at the moment I'm not sure what eactly the story is until I meet these guys but it is to do with their upcoming launch of a poker staking/coaching site here in Ireland......
Well thats all the news I can think of for now.... I'll update on my return from the land of the midnight sun

V interesting entry paul, I'm v interested in learning about the new irish site that stakes players. I was v nearly involved in a scheme like that last year with dusk till dawn poker. It never happened but I wasnt 1/4 of the player then.
Best of luck with the new house and glad to see things are going well.
