Back
I have decided to rekindle a bit of interest blogging. Well, it gives me something to do while playing hi/lo. Probably the most boring poker game ever invented.
Anyway, I have decided to diversify into playing more holdem games.
Since my last post, I picked up a scoop watch and played crap throughout the WCOOP. In fact that set of tournies led to my first losing month since I don't know when. Back to normality this month though. Although I have not quite reached a $3k profit which is par.
In the real world, lifes normal. Decided to get a job, if anyone will have me. The thought of travelling again is also possible.
Note. Great day Sunday at Wembley watching the NFL with son Danny.

December and Xmas is nearly here. Poker is awful. I am break even for the last 120 days according to OPR.
Sports betting has been good to me however. Fulham are top half of the table and have been awesome at home this year again. They are even picking up the odd points away from home.
On the family front, my Daughter arrived on the 24th of July and she is a healthy bundle of fun.
Back to poker. I have the KK curse.
I have been playing loads of low stake rebuy tournies recently. To get to the later stages seems easy. However I have been having too many to believe KK bustouts. Same story everytime. A low stack jams with A9 A7 etc and of course I call. But an unhealthy amount of times not only one, but 2 Aces grace the flop.
It will change.

2008
This is my first post of 2008. Thank you for being so patient!!
Still playing this lovely game called poker. Still being a consistant winner.
But poker isn't life. It's just a game.
Now I have moved countries and living in Northern Cyprus. Big bonus is, I get to see more of my kids. There has been a new addition to the Maxcon household. I have been blessed with my first daughter. She is a real bundle of fun. Her name is Anne, and she has the same birthday as my eldest son Tim. The 24th July. She has yet to learn the rules of poker. However, this does not make her boring.
Not done anything major to shake up the poker world. Did get close to the Poker Million payday a few weeks ago. Ended up 22nd after holding the chip lead for 3 hours. I didn't feel too bad after as I played great. Lost a couple of key pots late on. My 99 lost to 77 which made trips. Then my AK ran into A9 who paired the 9. So I did little wrong I fear.
I won a 109 freezout yesteday for a 3600 payday. I think that one was due after a lot of consistent play.
I am looking forward to a safe season for my beloved Fulham. A nice win over Arsenal made my day yesterday.
Predictions for the year. Man U for the title. Relegation for the Baggies, Hull and Stoke.
Championship, I have backed Reading and QPR.
First Div. I backed Leicester, Leeds will struggle for promotion I fear.
Second div I backed Port Vale, who to be honest have looked a bit ropey after winning their opener.
Good result for Darren Clarke today. I do hope he gets in the Ryder Cup side, as he is a great match player and will be a real assett to the Team.
Take care

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).
