Been a while since I did an update on my poker.
So whats been happening in my poker..........
I played the EPT and almost made it to day 2, when 12 mins left, but wanted chips to come back with, but throughly enjoyed it.
Next was the Sky TV appearance. I wish I could go back in time, cos I would of played it more aggressive now. But I finished 3rd, but needed to win it to win anything.
Next was of course my poker challenge on KS poker. I was doing very good and made it over the 1k mark when on the 31st Jan they closed there business and I had to make a choice, and I chose to carry on a different site and that site was poker heaven. But only being on there 2 months and managed to get the bankroll up to almost €1.3k I had my account locked, along with another Boss client I had d/loaded to play a set of league games from the poker player mag. Anyway I reg'd for a 10k freeroll on both accounts, and didnt know. I was told it was a breach of terms of conditions, so both accounts were locked and will remain locked.
I however managed to find another Boss site were I will be carrying on the challenge. I just have to wait for the cash to be transferred over to my Moneybookers account, and then can deposit on to the new site, which is called Euro Poker. I have a massive 45% rakeback deal, which considering the standard is about 30%, I was well chuffed with it.
Of course my Number one poker rule is Bankroll Management, so even though 45% is very good, I will up my game but only to the 10/20c tables. But I will be spending a lot of time on there and of course the rakeback kicks in when I hit €100 a month, so I need to make that before I receive anything back.
My first month I will not receive anything because I will have a deposit bonus to clear and I think it was mentioned it was going to be €1 for every 25FPP. I am not to worried about the 1st month. But it will be gauge me for the next months work that I need to play.
My cash game has improved over the last 3 months or so and I am now more aggressive, where before I would set mine a lot, but now I have purchased Poker tracker 3 and the stats have really helped me with the cash game. So will see what the future holds.
If it doesnt work out I simply move down in levels.

Bounty Stars of Poker FAQ’s
Will I be able to bring a guest with me to watch?
Yes, there is room for everyone to bring one guest. I'm afraid that there isn't space to accomodate more than that.
Any hotel accommodation booked in your name will be booked as a twin.
Am I allowed to wear sunglasses and hat?
We don't mind the wearing of sunglasses or hats (without logos) but ipods and other music devices are strictly forbidden.
Am I allowed to wear logos?
No, I'm afraid we've taken the policy of not allowing any logos of any sort by any of the competitors unless it is on a PokerStars sponsored professional player.
What should I wear?
There's no strict dress code but we do ask that you try and dress relatively smartly. No ripped jeans, no trainers. We would prefer shirts rather than T-shirts etc

My Bankroll challenge
KS Poker is on the boss Network and offers its own Bankroll challenge freeroll 3 times a week @ 9pm for a €20 prize pool. This freeroll normally gets 80 runners with about 60 sitting out. If you sign up please use my ID in the referal Plaza!
The beauty of KS poker is the challenge is slightly easier because if you go from zero to €3k they will add €3k to your account. Please check there terms and agreement for the simple reason if you withdraw anything before you reach €3k you will not be entitled to the €3k bonus.
I would personally like to thank Beau Nidle for this link in the previous forum, without the link I would never of known about it and would not be working my arse off trying to get to €3k........
