Kent Pokes League

Just got finished with my last league game in the Kent Poker League and pleased to say ive made the Grand Final next week!
Shortly after returnin from Australia i met up with my mate Jack for a few pints and told him that id started playin abit more live when i was away and what i thought Kent was missin was a Kent League ......errr it already exist mate lol, Ok so i kinda missed the boat on this 1 in terms of settin up 4 myself but havin played now for a season i still see alot of room 4 progress and not completely rulin it out for myself!!!
Anyway back to playin So me and Stackattack thought it be could 2 play and get involved.
Initially it was all good we started playin 3 venues and we was smashin it with 1 of us winnin each night.
As to be expected no1 can win every game and a few beats on the way, i cant speak 4 Jack on this but at first i found this abit hard to take , i aint gonna lie im very competitive and losin 2 ppl that i dont rate wel that just makes it worse and Let the tilt comence haha.
It was quite apparent from early doors that the people who attended these games where not that great aplayer and honestly speakin i underestimated them 2 a point.
The worst ocassion was when i shoved with KK only 2 get called with J4h if gettin sucked out on the words "I only Called because it was suited" sent me into a rage ....Only Time i didnt shake hands over bein eliminated.
Throughout the weeks and playin more a adjusted to the way they played developed reads from them and exposed them , i obviously didnt win every game but i felt my play improved alot, it goes to show u improve playin with good and u improve playin with bad and the mental adjustment and changin my game is what i got from playin this league.
Here Are my Final finishes:




Overall im fairly happy with my results however if im 2 do this league again i will be only doin 1 venue. My other issue with it is that there simply is no value in it and id be better off either playin online or findin a bigger game. Ultimately the best approach to this is play a few games at a venue qualify for the regionals and qualify at that also by playin the monthly finals, Thats exactly what jacks done.
Im off with Jack for the regionals 2moz also gonna play then next week the grand final so hopefully have some good news to report n next blog.
Peace

2011 Been Awhile.

Ive Just got done readin my good mate Jakattackz Blog and thought its about time i updated mine, also lookin at my page its about time a really got a background or some sorta theme goin on.
This time around i really need to get blog on and start makin regular posts.
Heres what my current situation is:
Been back from Traveling around 4 months now, Still unemployed wich is redic but never realised the difficulties i would face more on this another time. Find myself at a loose end alot , since returnin friends have other commitments , familys, Girlfriends and jobs its not like the old days where u can just ring up someone and say what ya up2 im coming round......then again theres always Dave Lee but even hes managed 2 find himself a relationship!! Also with limited funds available its not good atm.
Grindin lookin for work is horrible and the longer it goes on the worst it gets, my friends joke about sittin all day in the hot tub and themed rodney mullen youtube days (them videos never get borin) but its easy to get distracted from the task in hand.
Dont want to write too much in this post just a brief synopsis of where im at, at this point in my life, gonna be writin about gettin my life in gear in my career , progress in my Jiu Jitsu, My Poker journey and any other relationship or general shizzle that come my wizzle!!
Peace
