This blog is a year old! Happy birthday!

A year ago today, this blog was born!

I originally started the blog to write about my thoughts on strategy etc but I soon realised that it was boring writing just about that! Also realised how hard it is to put your "what to do" thoughts into words, because there are so many exeptions to the so called "rule", as in, "it depends on the situation". So I soon just decided to use the blog as a way to just talk about poker!

I currently have 39 people who subscribe via RSS or via email. I know 39 isn't a lot, but thanks to those who do read my occasional updates! I really need to try and get more subscribers though for my own ego, so need to do some more hustling and get my links in more places, anyone want to swap links? Hit me up in the comments if you do wish to share a little link lurve.

Anyway, enough about the blog, what's been going on with teh pokering? As you know, I've got a 5% rule (basically, only risk a max of 5% of my bankroll at any one time) but I believe now that that is too strict when playing for pleasure. So I've moved it up to 10% which allows me to move up (or down) quicker and will keep it interesting.

I deposited $50 a week or so ago and donked down to about $35 pretty quick (and thats on the $2.25 games LOL) but last night got it up to $56. I played a $5.50 game but went out just before bubble, so gotta play a few $2.25 games again to get past the $55 mark to play at the $5.50 level again.

Sharkscope has been proper missing out a shedload of results because of the latest full tilt update, and even though they claim to have fixed it all now, it's still missing out games. I played about 7 turbo heads up games on my lunch break yesterday and it only recorded 3 of them. Hopefully it will get sorted out sooner rather than later as I want a nice accurate graph for my 1000th game on Full Tilt!

Been listening to a LOT of poker podcasts lately, which gives me an idea for another post in the next few days, I'll list all the poker podcasts I'm subscribed to, and if I have missed any, then I'd be greatful if you could enlighten me as I'm a podcast whore and can't get enough!

Anyways, lunch has finished and I have run out of things to say, so I am going to leave you now. However, can I ask you to subscribe via RSS if you haven't already done so? I know that a lot of you will be coming from twitter but you might miss out my amazing posts if you haven't streamlined me into your "important" tweeple lists ;-)
