The Return Of My Postings 2008-02-06 12:25:00 Yes, i know it's been a while. Finally able to catch up with my drinking sessions after a long dry spell last year. When the opportunity comes, i took it and drank as much as i could and still be safe for driving back home although i really really wanted to empty the restaurant's whole beer kegs. I suspected they don't have much beer content. Somehow, not sure why i ended up falling sick two days later.That aside, have been quite busy with developments elsewhere. Some of the online guys might have already know. Nosy bastards! Not much activities to write about, not much play on games. Not much time in a day, not much sleep either. Not much not quite, but will be posting when there's a post. ...

Filipino Poker Tour 2008-01-26 18:02:00 Some nose sniffing around caught me great pleasure to know that there is something going on at the Asia Pacific region. In actuality i've been following on this ever since the last APPT. I can't deny the fact that Phlippines indeed have an affinity towards poker. It seems to be growing non-stop.Building on the previous APPT, Phlippines now have Filipino Poker Tour which started yesterday on Jan 26. And they are partnering with PokerStars to make this a success. This tournament which will take 2 days will be at their very own card club, Metro Card Club. It even has its own website. Very cool.Why am i featuring it here is because they are doing so well, i think it is something that needs to be look up to. I do not really know any of the players from there or am affiliated with them. It is the sentiments that something is happening at this region that is good to hear. Sooner or later the whole world will get to know about poker more better than they really are.Related post,PokerStars St ...

Poker Postings Listed On Blogged 2008-01-21 04:02:00 Something you may need to know is that the color of the main post is gone. It has become white in color now and will need some adjusting for the eyes. The coding doesn't give any effect at all.From getting whitewashed to being listed on a blog directory might not sound like a turn of events on the felt. But it seems to be a good thing. Getting listed in a blog directory means getting noticed by a few extra eyeballs. The best part is i did not request it myself.Blogged.com is one of the blog directories that got my attention from a recent visitor. It came across as a neat and easy to navigate site. It is not just another boring links in their relevant categories but include screenshots and rankings to the site as well.

There are a lot of poker blogs out there. Some are new, some are old and some just stop writing anymore. But there are chances that what some of these players have written will be something you and i will have in common.If you don't mind writing about your game, which is something i haven't been doing a lot lately, you can create a blog at pokerweblogs.com. To have a directory for poker blogs is a good idea because everything around the internet right now mostly fit for making money blog niches. After all, it is here where i discovered about Celina Lin the poker player.If that is not cool enough, i found a network that pays you to write. Ya, it will be something like a job now. Be a poker blogger and get a job :). The network pays about $200 per month. That would be some easy money for an easy job. I will put the money into my poker bankroll. It doesn't hurt. One such ...

Late Post 2008-01-08 00:51:00 Haven't updated much lately and am not sure if i had the required post for blogging my poker game. You can be pretty sure i haven't been touching any chips live on or offline. But after coming this far, i have been more often caught up with blog posting itself than reporting about my game. I do keep tab about my game and i know where i am going at. As long as i am still writing here, i will be alright.Everyone will take a bad beat because it is just poker. No one will have a graph of a straight line upwards proportional between their profits and number of hands. Unless you are cheating. As much as how equally interesting bad beat stories can be, stories of other people's successes are great to hear. They can be inspirational. Because as poker players, we all can share the joy and know exactly how it feels like.It is always great to read of other people's successes. Especially so when you just started playing and want to know what frustrates them that in another way can also be am ...

Featured Poker Player : Celina Lin 2007-12-26 00:06:00 Forget about Liz Lieu, Evelyn Ng or even Annette Obrestad. The much hotter player that came across my glance recently during the Christmas eve is Celina Lin. There can be no Christmas gifts better than this.

Merry Christmas Poker Players, Readers, Visitors And Friends Or Foe 2007-12-25 10:40:00 An adaptation of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Denis Waitley.Now's the time you should hear this! For very good reason!Now, please don't ask why. It's not simply the season.Sooner or later the Grinch will invite youTo give up your life's goal as something you can't do. It could be his head isn't screwed on just right.It could be, perhaps, that his pants are too tight.But I think the most likely reason of allIs that his heart is too cold and his vision too small. The Grinch is a dream stealer of many disguises.A friend or relation with depressing surprises.Just when you feel that your business is boomingHe fills you with thoughts that are glooming and dooming.He whispers about the forthcoming disasterAnd about the new plan where you'll get rich much faster When you say you look forward to earning a million.He'll scoff and retort: "Not one chance in a billion!"With a stock market rising and confidence strongYou'd think he'd get real and start going along.But ...
