January Gatsby Awards

Live Poker Performance Of The Month
Barny Boatman - Decent month for the Hendon Mobster with an 8th place in the Aussie Millions Main Event for a cool $100,000 (aussie dollars) . Maybe the award should have gone to the Aussie based winner but he got $2m and a cup and they win enough :)


Online Poker Performance Of The Month
Everton Yorkie - Not often i do this but i must backdate this award. Slipped the net because Decembers awards were early. On the 22nd December, Carl went and took down one of the hardest tournaments going. The 4,617 runner $3 rebuy $40k gtd on Pokerstars !!!
1st for $7,107 after an 8 hour slog. Absolutely fantastic result.


Blog / Website Of The Month
Rubbish At Poker - A newish blog, but looks a good one with potential. Check it out


Babe Of The Month
Lily Allen - Always seemed a bit of a goth chick like munter in the past but did look quite decent in the press the other day. She is on the marmite list i guess. Some would , some wouldnt :)


Hero Of The Month
Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger - Probably the most famous pilot in the world at the moment after landing his plane in the Hudson river in New York. All 155 aboard survived and thats down to Sully and his crew. A nice news story amongst all the uusual crap


Knob Of The Month
Charles N'Zogbia - Am fecking sick of these french twats being discovered, getting a break then a few months later getting all huffy and running to L'Equipe or any other French Rag. Dont like the cold or fancy a scrap then dont go to Newcastle. Stay in France or piss off somewhere warm. He's in for 1 big shock at Wigan !!!!





There you go. Not much else to report. Beer, football, cold, work and very little poker.
Think i played maybe 10 mtts in a week. Couple of Final tables but they were in £3 scalps games so little reward. Still stuck to New Year resolutions so had no cigs, coke, crisps or nuts.

I am sick of this bloody cold weather and badly need a holiday. Just booked up for 3 weeks in Spain at the end of June. Will prob have a week in September as well. I best get playing a bit to win some cash as its going to be expensive this year with the crap exchange rates !!!

Also had the word that Hills should be moving to Ipoker totally by about the end of March. Still no official date but will be interesting to see what incentives they offer people to sign up as most old crypto users have been on Ipoker since January. I do still maintain its worth a go signing up with Hills now as a) you can still play Crypto b) You never know what incentive / vip bonus etc you will receive being a Hills customer at time of handover.

Right thats it for now. Good luck all and thanks as ever for reading.
