Putting on the pressure

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:57:46 +0000

I find a lot of value in piling pressure on your opponents in the early stages of tournaments when the blinds are small and most people are playing way too tight, because that's when people are looking to avoid pressure.

WSOPE Updates

Two events down at the WSOPE and no cashes! Event 1 was pretty tough due to the blind structure. Well done to JP Kelly on being the first Brit to win at the series held on British soil!

Quick Vegas Update

Well, I'm in Las Vegas, chillin' out, enjoying myself, playing online poker and looking forward to the Main Event which starts on July 3.

EPT Monte Carlo, The Poker Show and Visas

Wed, 13 May 2009 15:55:55 +0000

I'm writing this blog from my room in Venice even though I should be in Moscow right now for the Russian Poker Tour because my stupid visa never came through on time. At least I have time for more shopping!

On the Road in Europe and EV Freerolls

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:44:00 +0000

Well, after a couple of months break from live tournaments I'm back on the road and will be hitting events in San Remo, Monte Carlo, Venice and finally Moscow....I'll be away for a month and the packing just sucked!

Freeroll Poker Tournaments

The first thing to remember about freerolls is that players do not value their tournament life very much.

Betfair Poker Blogs

I've never really looked around this site - don't know why. Think I had a look when I first started blogging here but it was fairly awful then but now, as poker sites go, I think it's pretty awesome.

I'm a Twittering Idiot!

Things change quickly in the Internet world and you sometimes you don't notice. I liked Facebook at first but now I've got a new toy.....

Recent Tournament Updates and Future Plans

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 19:29:55 +0000

Have played two big live tournaments this year so far and disappointed obviously not to have gone deeper in both of them. The Aussie Millions was frustrating when I got tilted when some player I'd never played against before and who had just joined the table called my 4-bet with 5-5!

More Premier League Poker

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 09:51:52 +0000

Found the videos below from the first episode of Premier League Poker, I said before I was looking forward to it airing and think the show is pretty good. I've just put the first episode on - I don't think it will be too difficult to find the rest on the Internet if you are interested;)

Annette_15 Blog Pimpage

Just thought I'd take this opportunity to thank everyone who has these pages linked up from their poker blog. I know I'm not always the most regular with my updates so the fact people are still linking to me is really appreciated.

Some poker related questions and answers!

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 21:17:03 +0000

Well, I've slipped into my old ways and have been posting in forums again instead of blogging!! I recently really enjoyed doing a question and answer session for a forum partly run by fellow pro Barry Greenstein.

Premier League Poker 2008

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 12:46:31 +0000

So I'm back home now after playing in one of the biggest televised tournaments around - probably the biggest in terms of money and I must say that I've never had as much fun playing poker for a week in my five-year long poker career!

Becoming a better player

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 23:10:28 +0000

There were a few follow up forum questions from my last post so I've tried to answer some of them below.

"I love poker - always have, always will!"

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 19:05:34 +0000

As I said in my last post, I'm a forum girl at heart and can be quite prolific when the mood takes me. For anyone who missed a recent post I made about my background in online poker and my take on the reason I've been fairly successful and how that affected me, I thought I'd try and reproduce it, so here goes...
