edited December 2011 in Poker Chat
Hi guys, just a quick look back at the year at my poker highlights and want to know yours!!

even though im £950 down for the year according to sharkscope (this is manly due to i only play online £5.50 scaries for fun with work mates and mess around)

i am a whole £24 up if you only count my mtts :)

anyway my highlights from 2011 were :-

1 - turning a primo free entry into £350 for a 8th place!!

2- winning a $10k gtd for $3.8k (on another site sorry guys)

3 - winning a few small live events in local casino for a few hundred each


lowlights :-

1 - coming home drunk 1 night and blowing a £600 roll vs redmond on the £210 stt heads up games

2 - teaching the missus how to play, then had to listen to her brag on how she outlasted me and cashed in her 1st ever live game when i took her to a live game :(


even though im down on sky this year, its been a great year with you guys and im over £2k up if you include live games.

    Highlights:

    Didnt have any which has annoyed me big style!.

    Lowlights:

    Far too many to mention :(

    What I want out of 2012:

    1) Not to have a torrid 18 months on the Poker Tables.
    2) Start playing live Poker again hopefully SPT Cardiff if Not defo SPT Blackpool.
    3) Play a damn sight lot better.
    4) Be a more nicer approachable person (Without doubt the one thing I will still find hard to do especially if I am im Mr Grumpy Mode!)
    5) Probably Not to Align myself with one of these "Teams" as they cause me a lot of aggro which I don't want.
    6) Most important thing start winning again and run a lot better.

    THAT IS ALL!!!!!
