DEC POKER P AND L
One of my best months is poker profit wise which is strange as I have had some horrible luck late in big $ tournies ( I guess I prob got my share in getting to the final table. I have had 3 big months this year that make up 75% of the years profit and this was one of them.
6 Pak100
9 Seater974
Rake / Bonus 445
Fixed Limit-665
Heads Up-630
Multi4287
NL4500
Total Profit9011
GOOD POINTS
1) NL cash has been going very well since Kitts although I have to say my hands have been holding up in big post which is always nice when i get it in when in front.
2) I played really well to go deep in some multis this month with 2 small multi wins, a 2nd and 5th in the 16k and that horrid beat on Mansion for 4th in the 50k.
3) Fixed limit although still lost feel my form came back a bit and I have made a couple of changes.
BAD POINTS
1) Playing crap in heads up games especially late at night.
2) That Mansion sick 2 outer beat which cost me a fortune and Ak not beating QQ on betfair when 5th the night before last.
3) getting involved in needless spats on fl for peanuts.
A pleasing end to a very good year - will post year to date breakdown of the year tomorrow or the next day.
Good luck at tables.

DEC SPORTS P AND L
Terrible month dont want to go into much detail but the NFL money train ran out and had some savage beats in it this month. Painter losing tonight meant I would not recover any of the months lossers hence good job I have had good poker month.
Boxing-120
Casino700
Darts18
Football-540
Horses-687
NFL-580
Specials175
Loss-1034
HIGHS
Non as such but got a couple of nice looking Ante Post bets placed in the month - Kato Star for Gold Cup at 11-4 and Celestrial Hero at 18.5-1 for Triumph. I guess Come Dancing was a plus as well!!
LOWS
1) NFL nearly everything went wrong
2) Every big footy or horse bet lost.
3) Painter absolute pap tonight.
Will post year figures tomorrow - pretty sure I am in front for sports which is pleasing.

THE ARTIST !!!
I have had a shocking month sports about 4 figs down but all could be saved !!!
I backed Kevin Painer AKA the Artist for the PDC darts after the 1st roud at 27-1. He has since beat Barny and Taylor lost tonight. He has a very tough looking semi v John Part tomorrow night but if he wins that I think he will win the whole event. I have took stake back at 9-4 but will not be laying off as need to recover this months sports losses.
Good Luck Kev !!
2007 REVIEWED
First and foremost - this has been my best and most enjoyable year in poker. Qualifying for St Kitts and for the Blue Square event at Newcastle were added extras on the profit that I have made. However, I wanted to go back and revisit my 5 major aims for the year and am very pleased when I did this in the afternoon today. I will think of my 2008 aims in next few days and probably will include some non poker elements this year which i didn't last.
Review is below hope you enjoy.

2007 POKER AIMS
I need to do a thread which is not me twisting so here gos.Aims for 2007 in order of importance and % chance I think I have of achieving it.1) Win 12k on line in 2007. 50%2) Make a profit from stt's or dont play them. 80%3) Have at least 9 winning months from 12. 50%4) Qualify for a major live tournament making the effort via satellites. 20%.5) play NL cash on betfair more and make a profit - 80%plus 2 less measurable ones.1) dont abuse anyone in chat unless abused first no matter how bad there play is.2) have at least 1 day a week when dont play poker.
REVIEW
1) Final figures are not avilable yet but I think I won almost 3 times my target. A huge success and the pleasing thing for me is my 3 main earners are all similar % of profits which is single tables, multis and rake/bonus.
2) I have made a big profit from STT hence continued to play the - approx 8 or 9k this year although I have not kept detailed ROI records.
3) I had 10 winning months out of 12.
4) I qualified for the Blue Square Newcastle event and won a package to St Kitts worth 4k$.
5) I played more NL also although not just Betfair. I was in front for year but behind mtt's and stt's although done well this month since St Kitts coaching and hopefully can keep progressing.
The ones i didnt achieve were the 2 less measurable ones - I still get in some stupid spats and many weeks play every night. I will post a full breakdown of year i the next few days.
The question I ask myself - am I a better player now than 1 year ago and I can say with confidence a resounding Yes. That's not being arrogant I just know I have improved a lot in the year.
I want to thank my blog for improving my game by helping me avoid tilt and reminding me we have good beats as well as bad beats :). This really has given me a great focus and something i will continue into next year.
Review is below hope you enjoy.

6th in 16k and gutted
35 left me AA v TT for 25k pot and chip lead board comes kq2ja giving me trips and he hits 2 outer for straight.
Then really proud that only had 5k left and didnt donk it off and got to the chip lead again winning only 1 race. Then Im sick.
6 left 2k$ plus for top 3 so thats what Im after. Im joint leader and the other guy is the guy above - he raises 1 from cutoff I pick up AK in BB and jam - he has QQ and it holds and Im gone 6th.
Could have folded into 3rd or 4th and mad as hell I didnt flat call. He has only been raising with decent stack with decent hands although I didnt rate him and thought if he had AQ he would call.
Mad as hell with 800$ and 6th which aint going to put me into the $ prizes in the multi leaderboard. Stupid pushing for the win instead of taking a big cash - annoyed a lot at myself.
Anyway had good day on single tables won 3 2snds and 2 nowheres so 4 figure £ profit on day.
Also my new Wii came today which seems very good and Im going to make it my resolution that when tired after long day at work not to play poker.
UPDATE
My mate Carl notified me of a complete fish at 1 2 $ nl who had moved to 2 5 so i joined that table. I won about 800$ including a 1k$ pot with a 10 outer suck out which makes me feel better about the above multi beat !!

HEADS UP NOW MY HEADS DOWN !!
Gave up work a bit early today and played the 50$ 2.5k gtd on Betfair at 5pm.
Got heads up and quickly established chip lead then the 3 hands below for the victory.
Me A7 v his A3 - split.
ME KQ v his K8 on K high flop - he spikes 8
A9 v 109 and he spikes 10.
2nd for 600 and odd $ instead of 1st for 1000$ plus and some nice leaderboard points.
Quite frustrated as he never put sorry when sucked out on K8 hand and this is a bit bad manners imo as had been talking to him.
Im going to play the 22k gtd on Betfair tonight - entry 82$.
UPDATE
FFS - 3k gtd Betfair 5 paid decent prizes 7 left someone pushes ahead of me I call AQ for chip lead against ace 8 and he flops an 8 and again no manners to say sorry - sick as a pig
