bulletproofJ

I thought it was about time I started a blog as everyone else in the poker world seems to be doing it. The reason behind the title is because I have such a great life and sometimes forget it so it's there to remind me. Most of the stuff in my blog will just be poker stuff so if that doesnt interest you then i wouldnt bother reading it.


So poker. Iv been playing poker for about 3 yrs and professionally since March 2008. I love the freedom that it offers me. I can wake up whenever i want, go out when i want and pretty much travel and live wherever i want (providing there's an internet connection :)). I mainly play online but sometimes play tournaments at grosvenor casino in gunwharf, but playing live just bore's the crap out of me. I think I might only play live from now on if it's a biggish comp (which for me is £100 buy-in or more). I play on a poker site called PKR and my screename is bulletproofJ (come sit at my table :-) I class myself as a 1/2 player but will sometimes play 2/4 when Im feeling good and the games are decent. Even though i think id be a winner in the 2/4 games I dont have the bankroll for it at the moment and Iv made similar mistakes in the past with disastrous consequences.


I also work 8hrs a week in my local pub. The reason for this is because if one day I dont want to play it anymore (or poker's not working out for me) then when it comes to getting a job, it doesnt show up that iv done nothing for the past few years. The only problem with this is I work 2 evenings a week and thats the best time to play online, so Im kinda losing money by working. But at the same time its not a bad job and most of the ppl there are cool.


Poker's been going pretty well for me the last couple of weeks. Im up around 3.1k since last monday (thats US Dollars). I really feel my game has improved recently and Im seeing spots that I never used to. A good friend of mine Andy (kingand77) also plays for a living and Iv been playing poker with him a bit recently which is good for my game. He's a much better player than me (arse lick lol) and watching him play makes me think about the game differently. We often take our laptops and sit in bar38 in gunwharf and play and the other day he played for me whilst I went to the toilet and when I came bak he'd won me over $200.... thanx mate :)


Ok im off the put in some hrs. Think Im going to a comedy night @ the wedge 2nite with Vikki my awesome gf, and some friends, so should be good :)
