The Great Poker Adventure: July 2007
http://thegreatpokeradventure.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
The Great Poker Adventure. Sunday, July 29, 2007. Higher Stakes means Bigger Swings! I took the decision to kick it up to $50 NL. Yesterday morning, and after a pretty wild day, I am glad that I did. I started out by digging myself into a 2 buy-in hole pretty quickly, but I ended up the day up slightly over 2 buy- in's. I am very pleased to say that I saw very little in the 700 hands that I played yesterday at $50 NL. A couple of hands to illustrate the point. Http:/ www.pokerhand.org/? I made a successf...

The Great Poker Adventure: June 2006

The Great Poker Adventure. Thursday, June 29, 2006. In less than 100 hours from now, I will be in action at the poker tables in Vegas. Today is my last day at the Office in Swindon. When I return from Vegas, I will be taking up my new position in Central London. There is a great deal to be said for taking a holiday between jobs, particularly one as much anticipated as this trip to Vegas! I am also looking forward to escaping to the only country on earth that isn't totaly obsessed with the World Cup!

The Great Poker Adventure: May 2006
http://thegreatpokeradventure.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
The Great Poker Adventure. Monday, May 29, 2006. Five weeks today, I will already be in action at the MGM Grand! The last 3 weeks have been absurdly busy with a combination of business and pleasure. Actually, mostly pleasure. I had a meeting this week that might have a dramatic influence on my life in general, but I don't want to potentially jinx it by writing about it before I know of the final outcome. Posted by robracing at 4:35 pm. Sunday, May 07, 2006. Shocking lack of posting so far on my blog....

The Great Poker Adventure: October 2008
http://thegreatpokeradventure.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
The Great Poker Adventure. Thursday, October 16, 2008. It's been a while! 14 months to be exact. I had been spending too much time playing, thinking about and blogging about poker, so I cut out the thinking and blogging! In Aug 07, I started a new job and had (by my standards) a heavy losing month (-$500). So I decided to focus a bit more on my new job, and a bit less on poker. I didn't, however, stop playing, although I did drift for about 6 months, playing barely breakeven. Online, hopping from 6-max NL.

The Great Poker Adventure. Wednesday, July 19, 2006. On Monday night, I went to see "Love", the brand new Beatles Cirque du Soleil show at the Mirage. It was a truly spectacular production, right up to the point where the incredibly complex mechanical stage broke down just under an hour into the 90 minute show! After hanging around for 20 minutes or so, while they tried to fix it and thanked us for our patience several times, the show was eventually cancelled. Two key lessons learned on this trip. I will...

The Great Poker Adventure: January 2007
http://thegreatpokeradventure.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
The Great Poker Adventure. Monday, January 01, 2007. Happy New Year to all! Since I last posted to this blog, I have changed my game a couple of times online. Then, in the autumn, the leader of the free World(! Decided to forget the lessons learned from the last failed attempt at prohibition in the USA, and attempted to ban online poker! Decided that the law didn't apply to them, and carried on as normal. Fewer weak new players coming to the game for the first time, and losing their money. Games, which i...

The Great Poker Adventure. Saturday, April 15, 2006. Poker Magazine Circulation Wars. Very interesting debate on 2 2 this morning, that started out as a shameless plug for Bluff Magazine, and ended up being a fascinating expose on how Magazines boost their own circulation figures. Href="http:/ forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php? Posted by robracing at 6:55 am. Saturday, April 08, 2006. Twelve Weeks and Counting! This is my first proper post on my new blog. I am still trying to feel my way around.

The Great Poker Adventure: June 2009
http://thegreatpokeradventure.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
The Great Poker Adventure. Monday, June 08, 2009. 2009 - Still grinding, still not blogging. Where does the time go? I am still grinding $50 NL. Still winning, but not at the rate that I would like. I have taken the occasional shot at $100 NL. But it has not generally worked out too well. My game has certainly improved, but not perhaps as much as I would have liked. In just over 3 weeks, I will be headed to Vegas for my annual pilgrimage. This change also means that I will be in town for the July 4 th.
