Hello kids - sorry about the lack of writing of late - things have been a little out of hand. Nothing to worry about, just really busy.

Thought I’d pop in an comment on a couple of things.

Firstly, I was officially dubbed the North Melbourne Poker Champion last week. That’s right, line up and let me take your money.

Now the thing about poker is that I love it but hate the casino - I’ve never been there for gambling purposes and I avoid going there for other purposes. So when the opportunity arose for a 12 person $10 buy in tournament I jumped at the opportunity. All that watching of the International Poker Tour on Foxtel (one of my favorite pastimes) paid off. I was actually pretty good at it - even started reading the play a bit. Walked away with 80 big ones my friends.

So now that I’m convinced that I’m a fantastic poker play (No-limit Texas Holdem) I really want to play again and just don’t have the opportunity to do so. So if you want me to take your cash just let me know and we’ll organise another night of no-limit Texas Holdem!!

Which brings me to my second point, the $80 that I won I put towards my overseas trip. That’s right kids, I finally feel that I can say this. Those that i work with who read this blog are now aware that I will be going overseas this year - and hence resigning.

So we’ve a new category: ‘travel’. And I’m afraid that at some point this year - around mid-year I’d say - this blog will degrade into a boring travel blog. But I care not for I am too excited.

Now, what do you think the chances of me being able to travel the world on my poker skills would be?
