Hey birders, its about time I wrote another addition to my blog so here it comes.
I am currently on the floor of ToTMidians bedroom, hes asleep obv, he needs SO much sleep its unreal, like 12+ hours a day, incredible. Anyway, ive been in Mansfield, England for 8days now spending time with Jamie at his parents place, we've been doing lots of catching up, drinking, poker since we haven't seen each other since wcg cologne 08. I am going to update you on stuff we've been up to and poker and the future!
I arrived last thursday afternoon after my epic journey from my sisters, caught bus from my sisters at 9am arrived in Mansfield about 2pm I think, lots of train exchanges, lots of waiting, pretty standard stuff. Jamie and his mum picked me up from the station and we hed back to his place for some catchup and alcohol before going out for curry meeting up with Jamies friends which ended quite a drunk/fun/interesting night from starting in wetherspoons and ending up in liquid the "local club" :D I obviously had to show Mansfield how to drink/dance and bird. - Bird is a word you shall become familiar with if you know/talk to me or Jamie 
Basically all week I have been getting up around 8-10am and playing some poker before Jamie gets up at like 12-1pm and then we watch poker videos, rail each other, watch UFC, grind the xbox and then hitting out basically every evening/night for pool/drinks/food/socializing with friends. Its been cool and Jamies friends are really nice, funny and good to hang out with and we all get on pretty well.
I've been bragging about this "sick event" that I wouldn't post about because I wanted to keep it secret from Jamie for aslong as possible but as mentioned in his blog, I am going back to Seoul, Korea with him on Sunday for 8weeks! Its going to be really good to spend the summer in Seoul, play poker, get drunk, eat korean food and just basically chill out for the summer there, going to be really immense. So if you are around Seoul this summer, please come out, get drunk with me and come birdin' =) I already think Kwark_UK and Artanis are coming to stay for a while with us so join us!!
Pokerwise, as most people know, ive been on some epic downswing recently which I honestly do feel is ONLY about 40% of the actual downswing content, after reviewing my play, understanding whats happening to me, I feel that I am playing worse than normal, I am overplaying hands and forcing situations to happen which is resulting is extremely -EV play therefore is hurting my longterm game. Over the past few days here, I have realized my problems and am in full flow of pluggin leaks and expanding my knowledge, understanding and general approach to the game and wish to keep this up over the time spent in Seoul. Watching poker videos, back and forth railing between myself and Jamie is obviously going to help my game a LOT and I am super thankful for his help and patience with me Not many people are as lucky as me to get such a sick friend =)
Here are some May graph results;
May, all limits;
May, excluding 50nl 
As you can see, I started the month in a rapid upswing and then coasted downnnnnnnnn until the month ended =( Like I said I do believe only 40% was actual downswing, running bad, I believe at least 30% was tilt, 20% forcing play and 10% complete dogshit poker.
Here is my June month so far;
The BIG difference between me now and me a few months back is that I couldn't handle running bad and refused to understand WHY it was happening and just constantly tilted/withdrew etc. I have overcome this and have been playing poker solidly from the start of May which is a huge improvement for me in terms of handling the game mentally. I will continue to improve my play/style/mentality and hope to see some large results from me over the summer!!
Speical thanks to Jamie (Midian), Roseeker, Silver, DoC.Lemon, Dahornnn, bbq, Oli, Artanis and Neilly for support throughout May, and any1 else i forgot to mention.
POOOOOOOOOOOOR

Birdin is a common sight on any given weekend at any given location, but is also a major factor in the lives of many during the week aswell. Birdin can take many different forms, from Birdin someone in a pub or club, to texting someone copiously in the hope of getting birded later on in time with that person. When someone is birdin, they are considered to be 'on the bird'.
Birdin, although historically a male dominated environment, is now also opening up to female birders. They are to be seen operating in the same way as the traditional male birders, and also in the same locations although they have by now developed some new and advanced techniques of their own, to capture the 'bird'.
Famous birders include:
- Henry VIII, who of course managed not only to bird 6 women, but also to get married to them, although, somewhat unsuccessfully in many cases.
- Casanova
- Charlie Harper is now recognised as the standard that all birders should try and emulate. His is an inspiration to all of us.

You are a dirty birder
Iam out birdin' tonight
That bird over there, poor.
Iam on the bird
etc. |
