Poker blog round-up:Amatay, Bonus Chasing Grinder, Littleacornman and Claire Macgregor

Pud's Poker Progress / Matthew Pitt / 13 November 2009 / Leave a Comment

It's Friday the 13th and I have spent the day avoiding black cats, not stepping under ladders and looking out for werewolves and when I wasn't doing that I was looking for some blogs that I thought you might like.

First out of the bag is the blog of Amatay, who I am sure will need no introduction to the majority of my blog's readers as the guy gets everywhere. Whenever I leave a comment on a blog, something I do hundreds of times a month, I always seem to find his name somewhere in the comments.

I've been a fan of Amafish for a while now but now he's actually starting to play some poker instead of talking about his self-abusing sessions or his ginger flat mate sowing his wild oats! You can't take away the fact the guy is a very good player and if he actually logged some volume he'd make an absolute bunch online. Oh, and he has a nice shiny Betfair ad on his blog too which may have influenced me to put him up here!

Next up is a guy going by the name of Bonus Chasing Grinder who actually wrote an entire post in response to a comment I had left. He plays fixed limit Hold'em and has built up his bankroll to around $20,000 but still plays $3/$6 as his main game, so I asked him why. He was very honest in his reply and I think a lot of players, myself included, are in the same boat when it comes to disassociating themselves from the money aspect of things.

One player I really have respect for is Littleacornman, a 37-year old Glaswegian who sadly supports the wrong Old Firm side! Also known as Zagga, Littleacornman mainly plays 18-man sit 'n' go and plays them very well if his Sharkscope graphs are anything to go by. He's another player who has a slight problem in moving up but he'll definitely be up at the $55+ games before long I am sure of it.

It is a refreshing change to let you know about a female blogger, this time by the name of Claire Macgregor. I've not read all of her blog yet but I certainly plan to do so in the next few days. It looks as if Claire has been going through a very difficult time recently but thankfully the Poker Gods (amen) shone down on her and let her run good in a tournament. Stop by and say hello if you get the chance.

Well that wraps up this weeks round-up, as always thanks for reading and have a great weekend.
