Tinker Tinker

by Chris Hamilton on 30 October, 2005 · 0 comments

I’m in the process of changing the layout of the website at the moment. I’m going to try to incorporate a few newdesign ideas. If you do happen to stumble upon the site during this transition..well sorry!! Your best bet is to read the entries using the RSS feed which you can get down on the right hand side until this is all sorted out.

Well the tournament is over for me…I mad a couple of stupid calls early on and completely crippled myself. After donking off most of my stack I lasted another 15 minutes and busted out in 112th. A very poor showing from me this week. Hopefully I’ll redeem myslef at the next WWdN Tournament next week.

It’s nearly 3am so I’m off to sleep.

I’ve signed up for the next WWdN Poker Tournament. I’ve had a whole lot of fun in the last 2. The first coming 2nd to Joanne and the last one coming in at 28th and spending most of my time at the “TV Table” with Wil, then CJ, and the PokerGeek.

This ones a little later than last week so it’s going to be tough not going out beforehand and filling up on Guinness. Here’s the details:

Where: PokerStars.

Blogger Championship

by Chris Hamilton on 24 October, 2005 · 0 comments

My performance in the Blogger Championship was not the best one I’ve ever had. Basically I played a hand very badly and it cost me a very large portion of my stack. So from that point on I was in trouble. I them managed to pick the worst hand possible to go all-in when I was called with AA. My straight draw didn’t improve and I was gone.

Congrats to David who managed 120th in a field of over 1400

My previous post about the WWdN tournament is all over the place so I’ll post a better recap of the tournament plus some shots of the “TV” Table soon

Site Design

19 October 2005

I’ve been going through the main index template and css for the site and I’ve come to the conclusion that they are a mess.
There’s so much junk in there that isn’t used, which makes updating little things a chore. Hopefully I’m going to be able to set aside half an hour at some point this [...]

Kicked in the Junk

18 October 2005

After my 2nd place in the WWdN Tourney and my success in various SNG’s over the weekend my confidence was high. Did you spot the use of the word “was”. I played in a few SNG’s last night and was repeatedly kicked in the junk, and I mean repeatedly….I think there’s swelling!!!
There wasn’t any huge [...]
