Still Here as are the Gatsby awards

Was away for Easter and then back in time for the Monday and ended up in North Shields of all places in one hell of a pub crawl. Pretty much repeat the performance for most of Newcastle United games and there has been very little time for poker.

Also i had the opportunity to change hours at work and start earlier so whilst its nice to get home earlier, getting up at 7am meant less sleep if i played. This wasnt a prob on Crypto as you could go deep one night and then just chill on the thunders. New tournaments lasting 6 hours plus were a no no as was playing on poker stars. So it was down to the weekend only.

But then it was football and pub and come back either too knackered or too pissed so i refrained.
Well with footy season turning into a damp squib and Newcastle about to go down its time to lay off the ale and get back to the felt. Have tried Pokerstars and hate the structure. Hit the jackpot if you win but that 250k gtd tilted me. 29,000+ runners , finish in top 1% and make enough to get a couple of pints !!! (Still off cigarettes or would have used that as example)

Fulltilt i cant get away with and anywhere else seems unnatural so here we are back at my spiritual home of William Hill. Ok it aint Crypto but then again nothing is . At the end of the day the cards are dealt you press the buttons and make your choices so time to hammer it again :)

Shortish post so will dive straight into the rather delayed Gatsby Awards !!!



Live Poker Performance Of The Month
UEA Poker - Adam and the team qualified from a weekly points comp and earnt their place in a live London Students final. No nerves as the UEA boys took down the national title and £2,500 for their troubles. Apparantly they then proceeded to drag the giant gimmick cheque in as many London nightspots as possible !!!



Online Poker Performance Of The Month
Terrence "Unassigned" Chan - To win a Pokerstars SCOOP event is some going. To win 2 is amazing. To win 2 versions of the same event on the same night is almost impossible. Terrence won the $530 "medium" buy in as well as the $5,200 "high" buy in. At the end he walked away with 2 event 20 bracelets, over $185k in winnings and a slice of history.



Blog / Website Of The Month
Tales of a degenerate would-be - No words needed. Just read it !



Babe Of The Month
Nigella Lawson - Whether serving up the icecream or falling into a black cab after a night out she likes to have too much of whats bad for you and even in her late 40s, you would !!!


Hero Of The Month
Susan Boyle - Not heard of before the start of Britains Got Talent but one audition and all of a sudden the press and all the major news stations in the UK and USA are covering the story. Demi Moore is creaming herself on twitter about this 47 year old unemployed Spinster with the voice that the world is talking about. Apparantly ugly people shouldnt have a nice voice. Guess no one told Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud that then huh ;) Ps am kidding, she is hotter than Sarah at the mo


Knob Of The Month
Michael Owen - At least Dick Turpin wore a fucking mask !!! Any chance of sweating a little for your next 100k. What a waste of space



Couple of cheap rebuys, some diet pop and Chelsea vs Barca. Plus The Apprentice too
Laters all and thanks as ever for reading.
