Hey n00bs, been a while since I last updated my blog and few people from msn have asked me to do so, so I am!!!
Last time I updated my blog, I had just beaten 25nl, had trouble in 50nl and now I will continue with how I have been recently, life and poker.
Well shortly after my last update, I spent a weekend in London with EA in Trafalgar Square, doing some Red Alert 3 public bashes lol, played on stage and met lots of cool celebrities. JK and Joel, McFly, Kelly Rowlands, The Automatic and few other bands which I hadn't really heard of them before. Because I was playing on stage and against the public for set periods I was considered an "Artist" which gave me a VIP pass so I could get into the celebrity tent T_T free bar ftw!!
Every night we went out drinking with a free tab (from EA) which was sick good, because its deadly expensive in central London to drink rofl. Anyway I included link below if you wanted to check the event out.

Straight after this event, I was taken to Coventry for Multiplay i35 where I met up with fellow team mates, dignitas and Team UK, where we all hung out, drinking and playing games/poker. I spent few days just wasting time because I was waiting to leave for Colonge, Germany. Unlike every other team.... we DIDNT fly out.. we got a TEAMUK bus rofl and drove to germany.... including a ferry over the english channel zzzzzzzzz Very lame lol.
This was my 2nd wcg event and I enjoyed this one a lot more than Seattle for some reason (even though the hostel sucked balls), met some cool people, through my constant drinking week in Colonge because I didn't want to compete in my standard cnc3 tournament lol. Met loads of SC players through midian and hung out with mondragon/elly/lilsusie/midian basically every day. I was even dragged to the TL dinner/drinks even though i dont even have an account on the site :D:D:D I met quite few people from here as well, if any1 remembers me ^_^
Overall, wcg08 was really good week and I drank lots and had super fun timez!!
Right.... well into poker..
After WCG08, I felt almost embarrased at my preformance in the tournament because pre wcg I didn't care but being at the event made me change my mind about playing games and I couldn't concentrate on playing poker anymore  Not sure if any gamers who are reading this have had that feeling before but its not good.... I therefore cashed out my roll LOL?!? and starting gaming seriously again.... Until about a week ago.. where I was like LOL wtf is the point gaming, so -EV especially since EA RTS games only have one big tournament a year, wcg... When I cashed out, I left myself $20 just incase something like this happened....
One of my big weaknesses in poker was bankroll management mainly struggerling to move down and taking to many agressive shots, I also have other weakness, tilting to fast which is because of the above. In my restart of poker, I took all this into consideration and have been concentrating on improving my game from the start... I don't really care about making mass $$$ just improving my weaknesses and making $$$ will come naturally.
Here are my graphs since my restart of playing poker, I am aiming hopefully to be deep into 25nl and pushing 50nl by the start of January.
I remember reading NeillyAA blog about his 25k challenege and was really proud of what he was doing until he went and busto/lost most his efforts in 100nlhu ;@ But just like to say wp for lasting while you did 
Ive been talking to quite few people on msn about poker recently and would like to shout out to Mcturnbull and Roseeker as ive been speaking to them every day and they are very interested in how I am doing and moving up. Hope I can continue my run because I am feeling quite good about playing poker again, very motivated to get to where I want to go....
Hope I didn't bore you to much, thanks for reading =) CU around
