Happy New Year

Well it’s another New Year and I wish you all a good one.

Sorry for the lack of posts recently but I have been so busy I really haven’t had time. Christmas was so hectic and seeing the joy on my 2 little boy’s faces was well worth the effort and stress of the festive period. Every day was busy over the period and hence didn’t get to play too much poker but ended up winning about £1500 in the last week of the year so happy with that.

So here we are with another New Year and no doubt there are loads of resolutions being made and broken. I haven’t made any resolutions but have a few aims and goals which I will share with you here and keep you updated.

In terms of work my industry is going through a very turbulent time and the goal here is to look after my existing clients and to survive the year as it is getting very tough out there.

My main hobby is Golf and my main goal here is to be around about a 12 handicapper by the end of the year – been hitting under 90 most rounds now so should be achievable.

Now for my Poker aims which should be the most lucrative. I have many plans for Poker which I keep hinting at and will know at the weekend how it is going to pan out but I have some exciting prospects looming ahead. In terms of my own play I aim to win £40,000 from poker and receive about £30,000 from loyalty bonuses etc from my volume of play. I would also expect to make a little more from other Poker related issues. I also aim to make a Final Table in at least one decent event. I will keep this blog updated with my progress.

As you know I am now heavily endorsing The Big Slick which is on the I Poker network. I really do like the site and the choice of games and traffic which is on there. I have had a bit of a roller coaster ride with the double up games as there are so many idiots on there who seem to hit a lot of the time. However at the end of the day it is a numbers game and I now seem to be running well again so hopefully this will reap the rewards. I have played a few bigger stakes sit and gos lately and have fared well in those so perhaps that’s where I will focus some of my attention in the future.

If you haven’t looked at the site yet I suggest you do so as there are so many opportunities on there and can’t recommend it enough. Please mail me and I will answer any questions that you have. If you join up through our scheme you will become part of our VIP loyalty programme which will see a return of some of your poker fees paid. For those that are already signed up please watch this space as we are going to launch a number of exclusive projects in the weeks and months ahead. Don’t forget we already have a refer a friend scheme going where you will get £50 for each player that you recommend.

So my target is to make £40k this year from poker which equates to £770 per week so should be reachable. So far this year I haven’t had a losing day and have paid about $1200 in poker fees so have played a reasonable bit. I am up £1,700 so far this year so well ahead of target and looking good for the year ahead. Have had a few losing runs where I have managed to salvage the session with a larger stt win such as last night where I won the last game that I played which was a $500 6 seater which meant my days without a loss run continued. Wouldn’t it be good if you could go a whole year without a losing day – would think that was impossible to do but Ill see how long I can last anyway.

I am really looking forward to this year and will definitely have some big news for you at the weekend and still plan to have another home game some time soon where you will all be invited. I still read the forum on Betfair so am keeping up with things and sometimes miss being able to post but really do wish you all the best for the year ahead even the ones I have had spats with. It is going to be a tough year for many with the current climate and I hope we all get through it.

Good Luck at the tables and once again if you need to mail me my address is duffs16@hotmail.co.uk but in the meantime please keep looking in and Ill give you my news at the weekend.
