Hardest Post Ever!

It has taken me over 7 months to find the words to write this post and even now I find it very difficult.

On February 9th 2014, my fiancée and baby boy passed away during childbirth. As you can imagine this has completely turned my world upside down. One minute I’m excited about the joys, hopes and expectations of having a new baby with the woman I've loved for 14 years and the next I’m grieving the loss of two beautiful people.

I am eternally grateful to my fiancée for the 14 fantastic years we spent together. I just wish it could have been a whole lot more!

Sue & James – I love and miss you both so much xxxx RIP.

It's been a while.... 2013 - An Overview

First of all, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.


As the title suggests, it has been a long while since I've updated my blog. In fact, over 6 months! Alot has happened over this time - relocating from Ireland back to the UK in June, living back at my mother's house while she was battling cancer (I'm happy to say she has won that battle now!), after some trials and tribulations my fiance and I eventually found a house and moved in at the end of October. I also found out that I am to become a father again for the 3rd time (baby due in February 2014).

With all the above happening, I haven't had time to update my blog, put in the volume for poker and when I did play I feel as though I didn't bring my A-game to the table. Baring this in mind, I still managed to make a very small profit in the year which I've got to be relatively pleased about.

Sharkscope Stats for 2013
However, in comparison to last years figures, the above stats do not look good but I still think I am improving as a player and it's only a matter of time when that is reflected in my stats. When I look back to when I started playing poker in 2009 I have come a long way.

Poker Goals for 2014
My poker goals for this year haven't changed much:

  1. Play at least 100 games of MTT's / Sit & Go's per month.
  2. Win a tournament with a field of over 1,000.
  3. Cash over $1,000 in a tournament.
  4. Devote more time to review hand histories.
  5. Review strategy videos, articles, message boards etc.
I think that about wraps it up for now so until next time.... Good Luck at the Tables!
