Five weeks today, I will already be in action at the MGM Grand!

The last 3 weeks have been absurdly busy with a combination of business and pleasure. Actually, mostly pleasure.

Both the highlight and the lowlight was probably my trip to Paris for the European Champions League Final with Arsenal. A fabulous, slightly beer-blurred trip, that was only marred by the actual game itself, which was ruined as a spectacle by Arsenal keeper Jens Lehmann getting a red card inside the first 20 minutes.

I had a meeting this week that might have a dramatic influence on my life in general, but I don't want to potentially jinx it by writing about it before I know of the final outcome.

This weekend has been a real poker marathon, as I have been catching up with my 1k hands per week commitment to VC Poker. Due to the manic-ness of the past fortnight, I was a good way behind.

I continue to see more poor players than average at the 1/2 LHE tables at VC Poker, although more traffic would be welcome. At certain times of day, there isn't any full-ring 1/2 games at all, and the most that I have ever seen in play at one time is 3 tables.

I will now try to post more frequently, in the run up to July 2nd, start date for the Great Poker Adventure!

Eight Weeks Today!

Shocking lack of posting so far on my blog. I have been pretty busy with work and totally wrapped up with the end of the football season here in the UK.

Today, I am going to the last ever game at Highbury "The Home of Football" where my beloved Arsenal have played for the past 93 years. Starting with the new season in August, Arsenal will move to a brand new 60,000 seater stadium. You can see from the picture looking from the old stadium across to the new one, just how close they are to one another.

Although today's match is important (with qualification for next season's Champions League at stake), it pales into insignificance compared to the next match I will be attending. I have a ticket for the Champions League Final in Paris on 17th May, where the two finest footballing teams in Europe, Arsenal and Barcelona will meet.

After May 17th, I will start to post on here regularly, as I get fully into Vegas WSOP mode.

Until then, COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!
