I had planned to take this week off some time ago. I was just planning on chilling and updating the websites a bit. A few friends were planning on a trip to Alton Towers theme park. lucky for me one buddy couldn’t make it and had to drop out.
plan I to travel up Tuesday, stay in travel lodge then get to the park wednesday morning for about 8:30 to stay in the theme park hotel.
today is the Tuesday and was a clear journey up. after 2 beers we decided to go and get some food. after walking for 30 mins and not seeing any place that sold food, we decided to walk back.
eventually we found pizza and chilled out.
it’s now 2am and my alarm is goin off in 4 hours. shhhh need sleep.

I’ve been playing poker as a hobby for a few years now and made a nice few £’s along the way.
however I have decided to step up a gear and try to qualify for more games online in order to play in some live tournaments.
I love playing in low stakes and will continue to do so. instead of playing in sit and go games though, I’ll be playing in qualifiers for bigger games.
at the same time I’ll still be playing in the low games to try out different tactics.

to find out more about stratagies and how to play the great game of poker, head on over to UK poker review and see what help you can find

Back to the action.

Today was funny. I had Roland Rat twitter me. My hero as a child. Hehe.

Along with playing poker I also help out and write a number articles for UK Poker Review.
It has been a very busy month and there are a number of added bonus pages, freerolls and also Everest poker are putting on 4 games, each with $50 added. The buyin is just $2+0.20 sign up through UK poker review for these games. Also to be notified of the passwords for freerolls, make sure you sign up to the newsletter.

Woop I’ve found and finally got twitter. I wasn’t sure about it at first. But now I’m using it to chat and message random people and that’s what I love.
Twitter me darrenmeredith or ukpokerreview. There is also a hash tag #ukpoker to message about uk poker events.

I’ve not been playing a lot of poker recently. I started off with my money all over the place, but even though I have been winning I haven’t really been able to move up a level as my rules don’t allow me to.
I have decided now to put all my eggs in one basket. This way I can keep track of my money easier and move up a level when needed.
The other reason is that I am able to get a % rakeback from pkr to help keep my funds up as I increase my level. See PKR Review for more info on getting rake back.
I’m now nearly up to $200 and in a comanding lead.
I’m still sticking to double up games and taking my time to play. Mainly I’m mixing between $1 and $5 games depending on how my form is going. If I lose a few games in a row I’ll drop down, then move up when I win 3 on the trot. I’m not sure this is the right thing to do as I’m staying about the same level.
Also if you are playing regular then look at maybe a reload bonus. Then when you rake through an amount you can earn extra.
I have also been updating UK Poker Review now with a newsletter option and also an updated freeroll section.

I’ve just found an application on the iPhone that allows me to update my blog without logging in to the pc. This means I’m going to be able to update more often about how things are going and what I’m up to.
At the moment the poker challenge is kinda on hold. This is mainly due to updating the website UK poker review which has been getting much needed face lift and also increase in traffic. There are some really good offers on the site at the moment and over $20,000 worth of freeroll games when you sigh up through the site. With fantastic offers from party poker,everest, pkr and many others.

I have been a bit slow with the old challenge. Mainly I have been playing on Nasty Duck in the champions games.  I did get a nice healthy lead, but not being able to play the Tuesday game has meant that this week I lost the lead by 1 point.  Not massive, but hey every point counts.

Apart from the 1 sunday game each week I have not been playing much poker.  The main reason for this is that we have been working on updating our poker forum UK Poker Talk and also our Poker review site www.ukpokerreview.co.uk

We have had a fantasic uptake on the Everest offer of $1000 freeroll.  Vist the page for minimum Deposit Poker to find out more.
