7th September 2010 “Obrigado”
This blog is being written on the plane home from another profitable poker trip. I seem at last to be getting the knack of simultaneously enjoying myself and not losing my nuts on these trips away.

29th August 2010 “Dry Run Continues, And Ends”
AND THE LATEST DOKE SCANDAL (TIEGATE)
This blog entry could also be called same old same old I guess, since apart from a few ties it's mostly going to be about more live flops and online scores.

9th August 2010 “Ship the Sunday Major”
Well, in my last blog I said that while all my recent results came in the smaller runner fields that are my bread and butter these days, I felt that a major result was just around the corner.

5th August 2010 “Grandly Grinding”
As Vegas slips into the memory bank, I'm getting back into the swing of my online grinding. I basically had a couple of breakeven/slight profit weeks followed by a mini heater.

27th July 2010 “Aces Not Monster in Munster”
Early in my poker career, my first experience of running bad for a sustained period kicked off in the Macau club in Cork when I had aces repeatedly cracked in their 1K event.

18th Jul 2010 “Life Goes On…”
The first time I came to Vegas was two years ago. I was the reigning European Deepstack champion. I'd also spun up a decent online roll from absolutely nothing (literally, I never made a real money deposit: everything came from a $171 seed I got for coming second in a freeroll) and had just "turned pro".

12th July 2010 “Waiting for the Main”
I approached this Vegas campaign with the mindset that it was much more about giving myself the best possible shot at a bracelet than having a winning trip. Cosmic irony therefore probably demanded that I have the trip I've had so far: a winning trip utterly bereft of cashes in official WSOP events.

30th June 2010 “The World’s Richest Janitor”
Poker and life are both games that generally reward aggression, but occasionally present situations where neither folding nor raising are optimal, but the best thing to do is check call and hope that your hand will be seen as best.

21st June 2010 “Durr, You’ve Aged Dude!”
Well, day 2 of my first bracelet event didn't exactly go to plan. It started with me sitting down in the wrong seat. Not really all that surprising for a man so near to dotage as I am. What was surprising was that everyone at the table seemed instantly aware that I was an impostor. A quick look at the name on the bag in front of me explained why: Tom Dwan. I scuttled one seat to the left, and about a minute later the real Durr showed up.

15th June 2010 “1st Vegas Blog”
Well, Vegas got off to a bumpy start. We descended in heavy winds as the plane made lawnmower-struggling-to-start noises, and hit the runway like a snooker ball with a lot of side.
