You can now follow me on twitter instead

If any of you use twitter please follow @Pirus82 or go to https://twitter.com/Pirus82 I will follow you back.

Quick update, poker is going well, the internet in the UK is just so much better. I wont update this blog much more, I prefer twitter.

Good luck everyone.

Hopefully back in the UK within a month!

Got my sons passport sorted finally and now just sorting out a visa for the wife, going to come back for 6 months then head to France probably for another 3-6 months and then back to the UK.

One thing I will say though, when I am back in the UK, players like Reivas, Sashok_Kovel and a few others, I wouldnt even bother wasting your time trying to play my stakes any more, best head back down to the 30s or whatever. UK time, UK internet life will be good.

Finally go into 5 figures for a month!

It feels good to get back into the 5 figure range although it was a hard grind. Total profit for the month ended up on $10,938. I had a bad downswing just before the end of the month but managed to pull it back.

Hoping to send my dogs back in a few weeks then I can work on getting a container sorted, would be so happy to be back in the UK in time for Christmas but I am not sure if that will happen I need another month like this month in October and there may be a chance!

Fulltilt will be opening up again next month and I cant wait really. With that and the UK internet I hope to increase my profits by about £2-£5k extra per month maybe more depending on how busy FT gets again.

Off out now to go order my dog travel kennels and get my mind away from this horrible hangover I have! (too many margaritas last night)

Good luck

August - A bit shit really

Started off amazing, won about $8000 half way through the month, the 2nd half of the month ran shit played well didnt make anything. Lost $1200 on mtt buy-ins so I am going to be giving them a miss from now one and just focus on the sngs. Total for the month $7200. Not bad on paper but I am really down about it, I should have been breaking the $10k mark.

Made a really good finish to the end of the month then the 31st/1st came along and lost about $2000 so thats really pissed me off. The baby has been sick and was screaming all day, not easy to play with a screaming baby and your 3 tabling and also having a parrot run around your body and thinks that your foot is his mate. Hes locked in the cage when I am playing now.

Cant wait for the baby to start talking so I dont have to listen to screaming. I am telling you all out there now that dont have kids. If your job is a poker player, dont have kids until you are really financially secure! They will ruin your poker life haha. You cant concentrate, they demand time and attention and a lot of money to look after them.

I am lucky that my missus has the patience of a saint and looks after him for most of the day whilst I hide in my office and try and work. Dont think that when your in an important game the baby will care! He will scream and scream until you attend to him.

I dont know how I have made it through the last 10 months to be honest. Just looking forward to getting back to the UK, get on a fast internet connection and get back on fulltilt.

Taken 2 days off now just loaded up poker, time to try again and get back what I have lost over the last few days and win some much needed money to send my dogs back to the UK next month!

Good luck!

July Review

Not a bad month, a step in the right direction anyway, slowly getting back into the swing of things. I cannot wait to get back to the UK, really excited about it now. Great news on stars buying FTP also, this will mean not only it will free up traffic from stars because at the moment its just reg central but it will also mean the return of FTP which for me was a better site for my poker. I will be playing on there no doubt as soon as its open again.

Total profit for the month was $8400 excluding rakeback bonuses. Started off great, went to about $5600 profit from SNGs about half way through the month then one morning won an mtt for $2300, shortly after had a horrid run... Went from my peak of $9900 down to $6900, clawed some back before the end of the month to finish on $8400, gutted really was hoping to get above $10,000 for the month but overall I cant complain.

No idea how long before I am back in the UK, waiting for my 2 labs rabies tests to come back then I have to wait about 2 months before I can send them. Once they are gone I can work on getting my parrot and the family back there which shouldnt be too hard.

No idea how I am going to get the house stuff back there, I want to get a container but have to see how much that will cost and if it will be worth it. Got a personalised bed for about £1100 that I really want to send back, since I got that bed I have had no back pain at all. Got about 10 suitcases full of clothes, printers, tvs, fridge freezers, microwaves. Usually I wouldnt be bothered but when I bought them I thought I would be staying here for life so I was buying top of the range stuff and I cant be bothered having to buy it all again back in the UK.

Anyways enjoying the olympics, supporting GB and Thailand, feel a bit more excited supporting the thais as they are underdogs in most events they are in so its exciting if they get close.

Also have any of you seen this guy? Dynamo the magician? Some of his work is amazing!

Good luck!

When I get back to the UK.........

I am going to ruin a lot of bumhunters lives. I have given you 2 years of advantage to get fish before me with my awful internet here in thailand. Well before the end of the year I will be back in the UK on a nice fast internet connection and I promise people like boogiewoogie will see their games reduced by about 90%! I am back in the swing of things now, I just can't wait to get back and start making some good money again. Having a baby has been stressfull but worth it, now its time to focus more on poker! I will start my monthly profits/losses shortly.

Mad mad mad month

Well some people have been asking where I have been, well to put it simply, I am banned from fulltilt poker. Reasons because I won a lot of money from some fraudulent accounts that I was not aware of and as a result I was banned, they gave me my money what was in my account but kinda pissed off at the outcome.

A little story on what happened:

About 1 year ago I noticed accounts in $500 games on fulltilt, played zero games, location canada, I would play them and they would play like a fucking maniac and win or lose they would just go and not play again, later on with the help of some online tools I figured out that they were winning, going to a cash table and dumping to someone, losing they would make a new account and sit on 500s again.

Anyway I lost thousands and thousands to these accounts, eventually I emailed fulltilt with all the information and said basically this is bullshit, they said I lost fair and square and had to accept that, I said yeah but these accounts are not legit but that was the end of it, money gone.

Last month I noticed these sort of accounts appearing again, location USA, this time they would play a few games, as they were in $200s and $350s. Being a pro on fulltilt at stalking people I managed to win a shit load from these accounts and then my account got suspended. I knew that it was the same type of shit as before, but last time I contacted fulltilt they fucked me off and said I had lost fair and square, well this time I won fair and square but because I won I had my account closed as they thought it was suspicous.

Anyway after a few weeks they gave me my money back and I am now playing on another site which I might name later but all is going very well and I am up quite a lot since moving there, apart from losing out on my blackcard and my iron man stuff its not too bad really.

Isnt it ironic as well that a few days after fulltilt telling me my play was fraudulent that they get shut out of the USA for money laundering and fraud?

Other news I returned back to the UK as my mother had a heart attack, she is fine now thank god and back to terrorising everyone and has given up smoking so things are looking up. Whilst this bad news was happening I was told that my girlfriend is pregnant so its been a fucking up and down month, craziest month of my life infact.

From having a stable job to having no job, my mum being taken ill to my girlfriend getting pregnant I dont know if I am coming or going.

I might still post my profits on here I am not sure but I will try and post some stuff when I get the chance to so people can keep up to date if they are interested.

Are there any USA players out there? How have you found this ban and have you figured out ways around it and to get your money back?

Good luck at the tables!

Lack of motivation to post

Not really been arsed to post after feb as it was a proper shit month and left me not wanting to think about posting because I wanted to forget about that month altogether. Although I made over $4k it just wasnt good enough.

March however turned around, nearly $21k with winnings, rakeback and blackcard cash bonus has made me feel a lot better and playing with more confidence is really paying off. I am already over $3200 up for April alone without rakeback or bonuses counted so a really good start and I hope it continues!

My roi so far this month is unreal and I know it wont last but I have played around 86 games and my roi is something like 56% below I have copied from sharkscope my last 50 games.

Also I have been hunting down a player recently, I had him as a really bad player although this roi wasnt too bad his play stunk a long time ago and I seen him play a $200 game about a month ago. Anyway I caught him in a $50 game a few weeks ago, I won, then I seen he jumped instantly to a $100 game so I thought ahhhh thats how your playing then. Anyway, I won $50, $100, $200 got to $500 I lose and he fucks off to $30 games and I am livid.

Anyway he has been doing this all month now and I have had runs vs him 50, 100, 200, 500, 1k, 1k then losing 3 1k games back mainly to running bad with cards because he is a maniac who all ins all the time and when getting cards they are not holding. One day I will take this guy for $10k I am sure. He played one night when I was not around, lost 50, 100, 200, 500, 1k, 1k, 1k, 1k and 1k, then he played my friend pognon in a $5k and beat him then fucked off back down to $30 games, pretty sick huh?

Anyway here is the screenshot I said I would make and if you havent already done so make your way over to Azimuts blog, the link is over there to the left, some great poker stories on there a few about me too.



Best of luck

Good start!

Not a bad start to the year so far, January left me with $15,850 in profit after rakeback and bonuses.

Quite a smooth sailing month although ev caught up to me towards the end when I had a few days without making anything. Need a good month this month, so many birthdays and I have to buy a flight back to the UK to get my tattoos finished off and be godfather to my friends son then its back to sunny Thailand.

One thing about footblal, I am so happy to see that miserable selfish twat Torres go, for the past few seasons hes been moping around like the world owes him something and its pretty apparent why he started trying again the last few games, so he could get his move away from the club. Made up we have got Carroll and Suarez as replacements now we dont have to rely on 1 striker and ngog as backup.

Been having fun this month on the Betfair forums winding people up, really is funny to see a little clique of losers all kissing each others arse and discussing poker strategy when really not one of them are long term winners of anything worth shouting about. Might make a few more posts on there over this month, makes me have a laugh before I sleep seeing them all get angry over little things.

Goood luck

End of Month/Year Review

Well the tilt/bad luck/no cards etc carried over from the end of November and hit me throughout near enough all of December for my worst ever month.

I ended the month down $1208 which brought the years total to $113,423. I was really hoping to get to $120k but it was not to be.

My best year so far and looking back it should have been so much better. I know for a fact if I didnt go to vegas this year and gambled stupid amounts of money away I would still be playing high stake games now without a care in the world. I wont be going back there in a hurry!

My aims for the new year, well I would love to make it to $100k but since I have been here in Thailand its been so hard, internet is slow, disconnects all the time, the hours are different and I miss a lot of fish also as a result of the slow internet. If I make it to $100k it will be a great achivement for me I think.

It is still my target I will just have to make the most of the short trips home back to the UK for the reliable fast internet. I am planning on staying out in Thailand for a long time maybe even live here as I have been looking at plots of land to buy.

Anyway the start of this month has gone a little better, a whole month not winning anything has seriously set me back a bit so I need to get back up to speed and sort it out. This year I am going to save as much as I can so if I do run into any bad spells it wont hit me as hard.

Good luck to you all for the new year!

November review - mega tilt

I won $10,127 in November + $1000 bonus yet it should have been about $3000 more. Now as a result I am on mega tilt and already down $1500 for this month. I thought it was tilt but I have just checked my ev and I am down $1500 to ev so all my losses are down to bad luck but it also means that I am playing bad considering I have played this month and would have only broken even which means my game is suffering.

My luck is sooooooooooooooo bad at the moment and losing key races and games when things look to be turning around. Really do need to sort my head out before it gets any worse.

Cant be arsed typing anything else really am pissed off.

Good luck

Much needed good ending to the month

Started off as usual flew up then went back down and leveled out for a bit but finally my luck has turned, winning 55/45s and 50/50s splitting pots that should be split and my hands are holding and as a result I won $16,012 which includes rakeback and blackcard member bonus which is half way through a $2k bonus so will get the rest this month hopefully.

Still in Thailand and loving it, however I cant get in touch with the bloke I have the 2nd villa with for the other 2 months of my stay which is a bit worrying. Hopefully he will turn up if not I have only lost the deposit but it means I have to search for another place to stay.

The winnings this month means that I have now reached my yearly goal of $100,000. My profit for this year with rakeback and bonuses now stands at $102,296. As there is 2 months left I am hoping my yearly profit will be around the $125k mark. I am very happy to have reached my target already but I really do think I could have done a lot better this year. Only time will tell next year but I hope to make at least $25k more next year. There are a few months here looking at the side bar where I just ran really bad which of course is variance but also bad play through tilt. If I can just remove that I can make at least another $25k easy!

Anyway hope your all enjoying the cold weather at home in europe :P

GL

Shit month again

Got off to a great start, went on MEGAAAAAAAAAAAA tilt and lost loads then won back some then lost some then won back some then lost some lol. Story of the month really and a month to forget. With rakeback and bonuses I ended up with $3600 for the month, PATHETIC and not enough.

This month got off to a great start again and then through bad luck/tired and tilted play I lost it back but this morning I have just won it back again so I am about £900 up for the month so far + rakeback + I have cashed in a $2000 blackcard bonus which is a new type of bonus store on FullTilt. Still pisses me off though only being credited $20 a time, I just want them to hold it until the full $2000 has been earned.

Thailand is great, it was shit at first, I hated Bangkok and Pattaya, disgusting places really, full on in your face, dirty, smelly and annoying but now I am in Samui it is like a paradise. Kuala Lumpur was a great place to visit and I wouldnt mind going back there again.

Need to get myself back into winning ways this month, just glad to be in this villa now so spending money has slowed right down and I am enjoying playing poker a lot more in the comfort of a house rather than a horrible dirty hotel room. Did I tell you that pattaya is horrible??

Good luck anyway

Bad end to what was a good month

I ended the month $10,300 in profit but somehow I feel sick as fuck and pissed off that I am not up more. I lost about $4400 in the last 2 days of the month or so and although I have won it back already this month it just feels like I am down.

I have to admit, reviewing my play in July I was awful, tilt set in through sheer horrible badbeats and I was just wanting to gamble and although I was getting it in most times as 55 or 60% fav it doesnt matter, I am a better player than to just rely on coin flipping with people I should just own.

Still had some bad luck last month but I feel it has turned around now, I am playing better and also getting a few outdraws in myself now and again which feels good.

I fly to Thailand in 10 days and I just pray that the internet is good and stable enough over there for me to play poker without having to worry about timing out every few minutes.

Gambling wise I had a good start to the month winning a few bets but towards the end as always they get it back lol. As long as I am not losing though it doesnt matter too much as its just purely for entertainment.

This month has started well so I am hoping it could be a very good month that would mean I could relax a lot more for my months in Thailand. Looking forward to just sitting in the pool at the villa in the sun with a nice cold beer!

This months winnings means that I am $82,600 up for the year and just $17,400 away from my yearly target. I will be very happy if I can meet that target by the end of this month :)

Good luck!

July was a shit month

Ended the month $3900 up, proper gutted really, I have been playing high stakes this month $500 and $1k sngs and I have ran so bad in them. Just general shit like PP vs overs, overs v PP, Ace face vs ace rag etc just lost all of that stuff. Played a bit out of my bank roll really and will be taking a step back this month and back to the grind. Thailand is in less than 45 days so I need to get myself right before I head out there.

Had a long session on the horses this month, won about £4k in 2 days then lost most of it back, not really arsed to be honest its just for fun but a bit stupid really. I have got a screen shot of my monthly graph below, kind of sick really the swings this month.

Just looking over it now I had a near enough $10k down swing mid way through the month a couple of 2k, 3k and 4k down swings also. Higher stakes are sick but the rewards can be so much greater.

One thing I have realised this month is how blessed I am with the discipline I have after seeing other players just tilt day in day out and trying to teach my friend how to play I have realised that not tilting as much as I used to is such a key in this game. Some people lose 1 game and tilt for the whole day just because of 1 bad beat.

I have ran so bad in the last month and even the start of this month but I have managed to keep my head for most of it and I know long term it will pay off for me.



Going to stay in for the whole month near enough this month, put the hours in and hopefully reap the rewards.

Good luck at the tables!

End of June review

Well I fucked up towards the end, jet lagged I played tired and done about $3k in 3 days so my monthly result not too good. Took a break for a couple of days and slept loads so now over it I think.

$7200 was the end of the month figure, well below my expectations but Vegas took a lot out of me. I am well up on the world cup now after a good few days betting in the last 16. Going to calm down a bit now with the quarter finals as the games are much tougher.

If I don't at least double what I made this month in July I will be disappointed! On a plus side I am well ahead of my $100k yearly target I am currently on $68,484 for 6 months. I now feel I can make at least $150k this year hopefully more.

Good luck!

Vegas done with!

Well it didn't go as well as I planned, lost about $10k on blackjack and roulette and about $5k on sports bets. I am really not bothered about losing the money although it would have been nice if I didn't. What really pissed me off was how bad I was running. Every time I was building up my bets on blackjack to $250-$300 a hand I was getting sick hands like splits, double downs against dealers 5 and 6 showing and I was getting things like 20 and dealer would hit 21 on every crucial hand. What pissed me off the most was I just couldn't win at all, you want at least some enjoyment out of spending your money. Each time I got a T everyone was getting 9s, 10s, aces etc I was getting 2s, 3s, 4s and having to hit and was busting all the time.

Oh well, didn't play much poker there, got absolutely smashed one night and done about $400 in 5 mins on cash table then staggered off to the sports book to waste more money. On the 2nd night I ended up getting alcoholic poisoning, the bar tender was giving us near enough half pint shots of patron which is just ridiculous! Ended up waking up the next day with a sink full of sick lying fully clothed in bed and unable to move. Didn't really drink much after that, 5 days later I had managed to drink 3 bud lights in a night.

Online poker has took a huge back seat this month from playing golf, going out for meals and getting drunk, world cup betting and vegas I have hardly played but I am still up enough to cover some losses and pay the bills. I will post a final update at the end of the month with profit or loss. One thing I never do when I am in Vegas is go the pool, mainly because I am fair skinned and burn really easy its pointless me sitting in 120 degree eat and just cooking myself alive. This time though I went to the palazzo pool a few times and loved it, if I go back there I will definitely be going to the pool every day. Some amazing sights to be seen there!

Anyways I basically need the argies to win the World Cup to get my losses back on it haha. If they win I fancy going to Thailand a few months earlier or going to Spain for a week or two for a golf trip.

When I was in Vegas all I wanted to do was come home, but now I am back home I realise how lucky I was to be out there and maybe should have tried to enjoy myself more rather than let the table games control my trip. The women in this country although there are some stunners are just miserable stuck up women who think they are too good for everyone. In Vegas these girls would be nothing not even 4s or 5s. Really is amazing how many beautiful women there is there and they are all friendly and not stuck up.

So my plan for next month is rebuilding to get a lot of funds together for Thailand and play loads of golf as I have just bought myself a new set of Callaway irons and Taylor Made Burner woods the difference it has made to my game already is unreal.

Always nice to catch up with Azi and Punterz as always and looking forward to the next trip next year.

Good luck at the tables ;)

A good month allround

With Vegas only 13 days away I needed a decent month this month and it came. Up and down on the gambling front. Won a few £3ks and lost a £3k on Chelsea in the FA Cup final but ended up a fair bit overall at the end of the month.

Poker was great this month, I turned my bankroll from $2k to $13k as I have decided I want to play higher stakes. Been playing some $500 sngs and have been running like shit in them to be honest but I am still making profit.

My profit for the month ended up on $27,134 which is my best month so far. I just need to get another month like that for June under my belt and the rest of the year should be stress free.

My aim is to get my balance to $20,000 then have a little break from bankroll building and start with bank account building as I want to invest in property. Eventually I would like my balance on $50,000 so I can play $1k games with confidence. It will obviously be a lot harder at them stakes but I am confident I can still win at that level.

Looking forward to meeting up with Azimut, Animal, DC, Ewan and a few other possibilities in Vegas which is looking to be the best Vegas trip so far.

Good luck at the tables!

I have a dream.............................

Well I had a dream, fell asleep last night and threw £400 on Chelsea to beat my team Liverpool, I was so desperate for them to win to stop Man Utd winning the league, anyway I set my alarm so I could wake up in time for the game.

With the game on my mind whilst I was asleep I actually dreamt about it. In my dream I was sat in the stands watching the game and Drogba scored the first goal and Chelsea won 2-0.

Anyway after waking up I thought sod it I will give it a go, no way in a million years would I waste £100 on a scorecast but I thought I would trust my instincts.

Anyway the game finished 2-0 to Chelsea and drogba scored the first goal looool. 25/1 I got which is a bit shit considering Chelsea were away from home but I am still happy with it.



On the poker front I have made a flying start to this month long may it continue!

VIVA LAS VEGAS!

End of April review

Month started great, evened out then went good then just 5 days before the end of the month I do $3000 in one night lol. Not bad overall made $8100 plus up slightly on betting.

Vegas in just over a month, I can't wait. Palazzo sorted for the full stay now just looking forward to some nice cocktails and gamblingggggggggg.

Nothing much to put here, my tattoos have started, I am having my arm sleeved with wildlife. Sea based on 1 arm, jungle based on the other. Hoping for that to be finished before I go to Thailand.

Good luck at the tables!
