Save DoubleThrough!

Eight days, and I will be gone from England. I may shut this blog down at that point too, though I haven't decided yet. Perhaps, like Star Trek, it will be reprieved when I receive numerous comments complaining about its axing.

So, what gives? Poker sucks. I have been a miserable failure in my first two months playing full-time, not least because I really haven't played FULL-TIME. Nowhere near enough hours. Also, running bad, making some mistakes, and generally finding it distinctly disappointing and frustrating thus far.

I've begun to enjoy tournaments a lot more than I used to, despite the frustration of getting close to making a good score but always losing that vital 60/40 shot. Its happened a couple of times this week when I had not even had to show down a hand - apart from a total lock - up to that point in the tournament. So, I am beginning to believe that I'm a half-decent tourney player. (At the lower levels filled with muppets, obviously...)

I'm not entering the big Pokerstars blogger tournament though. 1000+ players is way above my tolerance level, besides which I am refraining from opening any new poker accounts until I have moved. Its painful enough altering my details everywhere, without adding more tasks.

This means that, having emptied my Eurobet account as soon as Party shed its skins, I am having to bide my time to join Party directly and am meanwhile stuck with just one site, with no rakeback.

Man, what a boring entry. My other blog is so much more interesting. You can see why Doublethrough may have only a week to live...
