Morning again all,
Well on the poker front yesterday I had a much better day and won about £400 from sit and goes and £900 in multis. I played in 2 multis yesterday and am still amazed at the amount of games they have on there. I logged in and looked at the multis at just gone 8 and there was still so much choice to choose from. I entered the $35k guaranteed which was a $10 rebuy – yes for just £7 you can win $7,000 amazing value really. Anyway had a bit of fun it and went reasonably deep but fell short of the money. Played in the $30k gtd as well where I made the final table and went out in 6th,, picking up $1,800 for my troubles. No bad beat stories to be told here as I was just so card dead I ended up shoving with 23 clubs.
Well it seems that no one wants to pick up £50 from the competition so that will keep some money in my pocket. Take a guess if you want to, they are logical answers if you took a good think about it.
Don’t forget the Big Slick have a £50,000 gtd live tournament tomorrow night if you need any information on this please E Mail me at duffs16@hotmail.co.uk and I will answer any questions that you have.
Well today I’m off to get the missus a car so won’t have too much time for poker at all for the next few days as tomorrow we are off to a big party so probably won’t play now till Sunday night.
When I started posting this blog I had already made a business plan and within this plan I had lots of big ideas for poker and these are well ahead of schedule and on track for what I want to achieve. I have always felt that any business plan needs to be realistic and achievable and kept to and if things pan out the way I hope then I will have some great news for you all.
Many thanks to all those that continue to read my ramblings and good luck at the tables but don’t forget if you want to know about the benefits of The Big Slick and Ipoker please send me a mail as I would be able to help you out. I know I keep bleating on about it and don’t want to come across as a mere spammer but the site is the biggest in Europe and is getting bigger and once you get used to it I really cant see why you would need to play elsewhere if you can get a good deal on there. I truly wish that someone had approached me a long time ago about it so am only doing what I wish someone else had done.
Don’t forget to have a look at the ECOOP schedule which is an earlier post and see you at the tables.

£50 Comp up for grabs
Hello again,
I noticed someone on Betfair forum put loooooooool to my blog - simple answer there is don’t read it if you don’t like it. I am trying to do the blog the best way I can and am trying to keep it up to date. A lot of what I write I guess is about I Poker and The Big Slick as that is where I now play my poker and I believe in the site - why wouldn’t I? It has the best offering of games that I have seen from a site and has never once disconnected me. I have been guilty of Spamming on the forum but all I am doing is pointing people towards a better site with better bonus rewards.
Talking of The Big Slick as most of you know it is a poker club in Croydon and I frequent the club now and again and one other advantage of having an account with them is you can use it to enter their live games at the club. This Saturday they have a £200 freezeout game with a guaranteed prize pool of £20,000 with £7,500 to the winner for anyone who might be in the area who fancies it. Unfortunately I can’t make this one as I have a big party to go to but if I did I could have entered through my account and even get cash there from my account, just another advantage for me of using this site.
I played in The ECOOP $100k guaranteed last night and was amazed to see that not only did it reach its guarantee it well and truly surpassed it and ended up on about $256k with the winner getting about $46k. Unfortunately this wasn’t me, I started off OK and was 8th at one time before becoming totally card dead and having to shove from the button to get called by AJ and that was me gone in about 400th place. I believe the main event tonight is Omaha Hi/lo which I am clueless at so will be giving that a miss.
Quick apology by the way to Deejay who I know has now read this blog and probably spotted the picture of his arse - sorry mate!! Carl you won the £20 that I put up for grabs can you get in touch so that I can send it to you.
Right I’ve decided to do another competition and as its getting near Xmas Ill send the winner £50 to the first person who gets these answers about me correct - the obvious close friends and family are excluded from this so in answer to Dave no you cant enter. I didn’t want it to be too easy so the first person to answer all 3 questions correct in the same post is the winner.
1. What do I wear in bed every night that is different to most people?
2. What gets bigger on my desk every day?
3. What sport uses glue?
Well that’s £50 up for grabs if anyone fancies it - Good luck
Depending on how my day pans out I may well put a few pics up later but if not good luck at the tables.

Its started
Morning all
Well havent too much to report really over the last couple of days. I have run bad in sit and gos but it will change but managed to keep my head above water and break even thanks to a little win in cash and a few final tables in multis.
Spent the day yesterday looking for a new car for the missus as the one she had an accident in has now been written off. It needs to be a family car so spent the day at car giant in White City looking for a car. Tossing up between 2 at the moment and it should be a no brainer really but the choice is the Lexus or Chrysler. The Lexus is by far the better quality but the voyager has the 7 seats which would be very useful so weighing up the pros and cons at the moment.
On a much brighter note ECOOP has now started and is available on IPOKER - if you havent got an account then please mail me at duffs16@hotmail.co.uk and ill be able to get one set up for you. Todays event is:
DAY THREE
ECOOP NL Hold'em Turbo Wed November 26
2008 $100+$9 $100,000 Guaranteed
So thats a $100 entry for a $100k gtd event - without a doubt I will be playing in that one tonight. The full schedule is in an earier post so please take a look on there and if you decide to play good luck and Ill see you at the final table.
I have abust work day today so need to sign off now but I have an idea for a competion which if I have time later ill put on here.
All the best

Monday Morning
Morning all,
Hope you all had a good weekend and a profitable one. Firstly I have noticed that Carl (Mandylou on Betfair forum) guessed the holder of the arse and posted it on the forum. It was Deejay (Dave Wells)and my clue was meant to be a little cryptic (spinning and records = Deejay). Ill have £20 shipped over to him later today. Thats one of the other things I like about IPoker is that you can transfer money to people.
On the Poker side of things I didnt play much over the weekend as I spend most of my time with the family at weekends but with the little I did play I ended up £300 down. I am going through one of those sick runs at the moment where I keep running KK into aces and losing all the vital races at the wrong time. I am not worried about this as it happens to us all and will blitz it later today so hopefully will turn these losses into a profit.
Most of my time at the weekend was taken up with putting up the outside Christmas lights. We are one of those mad group of people who go mad with the outside decorations at Christmas so it all takes time to do. There is a lot of satisfaction with the end result though and the neighbourhood love it and my two boys (6 and 8) love it as well and as they still believe it makes it worthwhile. Its not finished yet but will be ready for the big switch on in 2 weeks time. I will post a picture on here of the end result so you can all criticise me for being a sad bastard.
Well Betfair in their infinite wisdom have decided to ban me now from the Betfair forum. In one respect I cant really blame them as I was getting a little spammy with my references to I Poker and to this Blog but in my opinion they could have gone about it in a better way. It was a little silly really as I have access to about 7 accounts on there where I am able to post so its hardly going to stop me. I am going to put a statement on there later as I feel its important that everyone knows why I left them and the underlying facts.
I think in previous posts I explained my history in Poker and I think most people were aware of my loyalty to Betfair. I used to play on the site all of the time and never played anywhere else and part of this reason was because I had a good relationship with most of the head staff there and they did look after me from time to time. When Bruce Stubbs took over the site got worse and worse especially for myself. The multis I enjoyed playing were being cut and the stts were not filling. There were also lots of underlying issues such as the use of prop players that I didnt like. I mailed Betfair at least 12 times trying to put ideas to them and even offering to do Brucies job for him but all was to no avail. I asked what improvements were being made before I decided to go and to that there was no answer. I really tried to communicate and just could not get an answer and I can tell you for a fact that a lot of the head staff there feel the same was as me. Bruce done a crap job end of and in my opinion has taken the site backwards and is the one to blame for their ultimate demise.
I have no regrets leaving Betfair and am now playing on a site where I can get all the games that I want when I want and with the the bonuses and loyalty discounts dont lose anything from rake in fact it works out more. I feel really sad about the forum ban though as all they had to do was give me a buzz and ask if I could refrain from spamming which I must admit I was doing or at least give me a warning. I havent heard a single word from them though all I knew was I went to post and couldnt. In fact since I have left I havent heard a single word from them, I was worth a fair bit of money to them in rake and I would have thought they would have tried to lure me back (funny way to run a business really). Anyway its their loss and my gain.
I really am excited about my future in poker and will have a lot of news coming your way over the coming weeks.
Well spent long enough on here now and had better do some work - Good luck at the tables and dont forget if you want any information on I Poker please give me a shout.
New competion coming tommorow by the way where Ill put £50 up for grabs for the first correct answers so tune in.

Guess Who
Not much to report today - ended up £200 on the day and was up and down like a yoyo. Thought I would give you a little challenge today - first one to guess right I will send £20. At my last home game someone used my camera and took this pic - first one tell me the owner of this arse gets the £20. First clue is that he was at my home game (obviously) - more clues to follow.

Just Another Day
Hi,
Just thought I would give you my daily update on my antics. Played a reasonable bit of poker yesterday and had a bash at the RIO jackpot as mentioned in my last post but to no joy. The most I got to was 2 wins in a row so back to square one. The rest of my play was in double up games and the occasional 6 seater, I ended the days play £500 up so that was OK.
Since switching from Betfair though I have managed to triple the amount of games I play without playing for longer periods of time. This is mainly because when at Betfair the 200 games didnt fill very quickly and very rarely in the daytime. They were also set up to pay the top 2. What I am finding on IPOKER though is that the 200 double ups fill straight away and I can play more at the same time, combined with the fact that they only play down until the 4th player is eliminated which means they finish a lot quicker.Now when I was at Betfair I raked about £2,500 per month and got about £800 per month back in rake. On IPOKER i could get a higher level of loyalty bonuses and discounts which could amount to a lot more so am getting £2,625 back. On a yearly basis this could be worth an extra £21,900 per year to me.
After realising this it is easy to understand that potentially I could make a reasonable living as long as I dont lose when playing.I am working on a business plan at the moment with regards to making a full time living from poker and part of this plan obviously involves my on line play. Simple maths tells me that if I paid £7,000 per month in poker fees and could get some of these back in the form of bonuses and discounts then this could equate to £29,400 per year. If I could make a profit of just £1,500 per month then this would give an additional £18,000 making a total of £47,400.
Now this is not enough for me alone to want to focus full time as my business brings in more than that but as I have said part of my business model is to bring players into the IPOKER network which would increase my income as well as offering them a good deal on the biggest and best site in Europe. If I could look after my players and deliver what I promise then I think I have a good chance of succeeding.There are a lot of other big ideas that I am currently working on to do with Poker and I will share these with you as time goes on.
Dont forget to mail me if you want any more information on any of my dealings at the moment and if I dont play golf tomorrow I will have some spare time to put some pictures up of past home games etc.(would prefer to play golf though)
have a good day at the tables one and all

Start of a dream - maybe!!
Morning all,
I find it really weird writing a blog when you have no idea whether anyone is actually going to read it - a bit like talking to yourself but hey ho if I tell my parents about it Im sure they will have a read.
Yesterdays poker was Ok and managed to make £300 profit which is much better than losing. Thought I was going to win the 15k on IPOker at once stage but managed to donk it off and come 11th. Played loads of double ups and tried for the Rio jackpot where if you win 6 $20 games in a row you get $130k. I managed a grand total of 2 before bombing out. I have won my last one so only need 5 in a row today - will have a bash later.
My good friend Shaa and I are still actively trying to get players on board with us as I am sure that what we are promoting is the best site out there and we have lots of plans going forward. I have a passion for Poker as you may well have guessed and now that I have found a poker site that I know can deliver and is rapidly growing then I can happily recommend this site. The plan is to recruit as many players as possible in the next month and then to really look after our players and see what we can offer as a bonus. Things such as packages, freerolls and the like are in the pipeline, we just need a few more on board first.
Its been a very rocky road for me this year with the credit crunch and it has affected my business immensley as I work in the Financial Services sector. There has been many a time where if I didnt have commitments and a young family I would have walked but we all need to pay the bills. It has all just been very stressful though. If my plans pan out then hopefully my full time income would be from Poker. Not just from playing myself but I have lot of plans and there are a few things that I am looking at and will share these with you in the near future.
Please feel free to E Mail me or post on here if you want any details on Ipoker and Ill be happy to chat to you about it. In the meantime have fun at the tables and keep checking in there will be some interesting stuff on here I promise.

The Week Ahead
Good Morning,
As I said in the previous posts I am going to try and do regular posts here so here goes with this days entry. I didnt have the best days poker results but had a closer look at what is available with the IPOKER site. They have a promotion on there where if you win 6 $20 games in a row then you win the jackpot - this jackpot now stands at $130,000 so I am going to give this a good try. Now I know this is very hard to do but potentially you could pay $120 and win $130,000 , certainly wouldnt be a bad return for your money.
They also have all the events and sats for The European Championship of Online Poker so I am going to have a good look at these as they start next week and choose which events I am going to go for. For all details of the events and the site please take a look here http://www.bigslick.co.uk/
On a family front I really hope bad things dont happen in threes as my wife had an accident in her car on Thursday and took out the whole left hand side of the car. The kids were in there as well so can only be grateful that no-one was hurt. The following day my daughter who has only been driving her car for 3 months had an accident on the motorway and wrote hers off - apart from a few bruises she was OK as well thank God. Just makes you realise how lucky you can be and as I have said hopefully we wont get the third!!
Im new to this blogging but am going to try and get some banners up and links to sites that I like etc but in the meantime if you like the look of IPOKER aand want a rebate back of some of your poker fees please E Mail me.
In the coming days I will be putting up pictures of some of my Home games and Betfair Forum Games so watch this space.

Duffs Past and Present
Firstly welcome to anyone who ventures onto this page and bothers to read my ramblings. I have never had a blog before and have now decided to create one. I am not completley savvy with this type of thing but one thing I will do is try and keep it updated and informative.A lot of my time is spent with my family and business but this blog will predominatley be about poker. I first starting playing poker about 6 years ago after watching it on television and then finding an online site. I started with Littlewoods and then William Hill and ended up at Betfair. I have had many a good year at betfair and have enjoyed trips to Australia,Singapore and Spain with them.I make a good profit from playing poker especailly as its only in my spare time and have enjoyed it as well. One of the things I liked about Betfair was the community spirit that was there and the forum where there were many characters who came to the fore.It was after playing against these same characters that I decided to have a home game and these have grown and grown and at the last home game we had 56 players. We made a good weekend of it and played Ten Pin bowling and did Karting on the Friday and then Golf and Poker on the saturday. It went very well and I will soon be planning the next one so watch this space.Recently I switched sites to I Poker and if anyone is interested in a deal there give me a shout and Ill be able to sort it for you. This was for a number of reasons and was mainly as I wasnt getting the games that I wanted and the traffic was getting worse and worse.I am now going to heavily promote the I Poker site and will endeavour to keep you informed on my poker and life in general. Thank you to anyone who has bothered to read and Ill see you at the tables.
New Beginnings
Most of the Poker community I know now realise that I no longer play on Betfair and have switched to the Big Slick which is part of the IPOKER network. There were many reasons for this and after being here for about 6 weeks have never looked back.
It is the largest site in Europe and that is for a very good reason – it is also continuing to grow. They have games to suit everyone and have a site that is very easy to use and doesn’t kill your processor. No matter what type of player you are there is a game to suit your ability and price range.
I take great pride in my honesty and integrity and would never endorse a site I didn’t believe in so wished to point you towards this site so everyone can benefit from it. I have made a brief list of highlights of the site and at the bottom of the page you will see a link. This link will enable you to sign up and once you have created a real money account then if you let me know the BRG number and your poker alias then you will be automatically upgraded to level 6 titanium level where you will get up to 35% of your poker fees rebated back to you.
