Hello me
Things not so bad here in Sharm El Sheikh. Have the first casino open. But still delays with the Marriott Casino. Pokers not been great. Up to 45 wins on pokerstars, but not making any money. Had to make a deposit into the account last week, as the 2k I always leave in when I withdraw went somewhere?? I am stunned as this is the first time in history it has happened.
SNG's are awful. Heads up I am only breaking even and the hi lo cash tables killing me at the moment. However I know my game is a good one and am sticking to basics and will recover!!!
I seem to be running bad though. Latest hard luck story.... $109 NLHE comp.

Typical.. It has been like this for a while. Still It is only a slight whinge as I love these donkyish moves. Its how we make money at this game.
On the sports betting front, I have been making a few sovs. American football mainly. Had a good bet on Chelsea to win the premiership today. I think the value is there now at 6/1. You can even get 1/3 the odds 1st or 2nd. Arsenal have shown how much they rely on key players. A few injuries will hurt them. I see Chelsea as the only danger to United.
Be lucky

Well I am good at this blog lark. Very enthusiastic start I must say. I must do better than a blog a month!!
The poker has been going well with a couple of fecent tourny wins. The most notable being a $50 freezout with 819 runners for 10k. Iwas really pleased with my performance as I got chips early and stayed near the top of the leaderboard for the whole tourny and played really solid and patient at the final table. I saw a few raises with drawing hands such as 6/7 suited and was able to take down a lot of pots by betting or reraising the pot when I missed. I must say I had very few big hands throughout the tourny and won a lot of pots without showing my cards.
I also won an Omaha tourny which I completely dominated throughout.
I am very pleased with my heads up play and of the 9 times I have been in the last 3 recently, I have won eight. I am sure this is down to my playing style. I like to accumulate chips late on in tournies, and when I do reach finals tables. I have given myself the chance to win by having big chips.
I for the life of me cannot work out what is wrong with my sng form recently. I am playing really poorly and making heaps of bad decisions. Still as long as the tourny results stay the way they are, I am sure the worm will turn.
On the sports betting front, I had a nice touch on Ernie in the match play golf. I thought the 4/1 was a steal with him having the best of the draw. Not had any serious bets since and I always seem to get let down by 1 team for my weekend footy accumulator. Chelsea conceding a late on last weeked cost me dearly for a nice accer.
No tips at present for the weekend internationals. England suck but I really think they should cruise past Austria at the weekend. I am backing England for the win, but only to smallish stakes at a touch of odds on.
Good luck and see you at the pokerstars tables.. Tony S (maxcon007).

First post
Hi. Just creating this blog as maybe it will help my game. I will take on board any comments anyone who may read this posts. I mainly play tournies online and no longer play live. Although I feel I play my best live. Acording to poker rankings I have won 38 tournies online and have a roi of 27%. No limit holdem I feel is my weakest game with a roi of just 12%. Omaha hi/lo is by far my strongest game as far as tournies are concerned with a roi of 74%. I feel this is due to my ability to get chips early. I will take risks in 3/4 way pots early to get chips early, as I feel that if I get a large stack early I have a great chance of winning the tourny. I know I play great with a big stack. I win money at all forms of poker I play, so I know I have ability. However I work hard too. I manage Casino's for a living and often play tired to forget about work for a few hours. I feel this costs me money, but what the hell. I enjoy the game.
My other gambling interest is Sports betting. Football, US football and golf. I love to gamble and over the years have lost a fair whack. But I seem to be making a profit these days and will post any upcoming fancies I might have. For instance Ernie Els to win the Matchplay this week.
So, that's the plan. Lets see where all this takes me. mabe to a big online poker tourny win. Maybe to a big live tourny win? Maybe it will be just a fun and informative read.
Good luck out there. Tony Stewart (maxcon007).
