Poker Review

To cut a long story short, I busted from the Aussie Millions main event yesterday. I guess you can’t win it every year… right?

It’s been a little while since my last blog post. Since then I’ve been taking it easy and trying to get myself in a good mindset for the Aussie Millions.

The satellites to the Aussie Millions are starting this weekend and given that at about this time last year I won my seat through a $640 PartyPoker satellite and that I then went on to win the tournament, I wanted to give my thoughts on the qualification  process.

Maybe it’s just me but when I think about something done anonymously it takes me back a few hundred years in time to some grand masquerade ball in Venice…..

Yikes, I just want to erase the memory of the WSOP Africa main event as quickly as possible so I’m writing this 10 minutes after busting.

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last blog. Since then, I’ve played in the EPT London, come home  from London, spent a couple days at home, then gone to Melbourne over this last weekend for the ANZPT Melbourne.

The WSOPE Main Event was without a doubt the toughest field I’ve ever seen. Through the 2 and a bit days and the 5 different tables I played at only 2 players stick in my memory as being below average, and in the grand scheme of things they really weren’t all that bad.

It’s been over a week since my last blog post. Since then I’ve played in Partypoker’s World Poker Open – a rather forgettable experience – and the English Poker Open another unspectacular result. I’m not getting too irritated though, it’s basically been a run of unlucky situations.

The first day of the WPT London seemed to go really well. I got paid off on a few hands and didn’t really seem to lose many pots overall. I finished the day with just over double the starting stack which put me in good position going into day 2.

I’ve been in Melbourne for the Victorian Championship since Monday night and played a couple of the side events so far. The first event I played was the NLH/PLO $240/100 rebuy, I was expecting quite a big field but I think it’s fair to say that the field size was a fairly disappointing less than 50.
