Let's assume there is a professional gambler named "Bob". He has designed his own betting strategy by improving a strategy he purchased online, he has also looked into trading where he is more than successful and at the same time he has studied Texas Hold'em Poker so well that he manages to show significant profits over the past months. The problem is Bob has only one life, how can he make most of it?

Since my last blog entry almost 2 months ago, I have been playing poker a lot and also started a new website with a friend of mine. I have lost interest in publishing my poker results apart from the tournament ones, because I don't see how that would be beneficial for my blog's readers. I'd rather post informative articles which would be useful for anyone who wants to improve his poker skills or for any newbie discovering this game nowadays.

I also met a couple of Betfair employees who happen to have become good friends of mine and we get to meet now and then. This time we didn't discuss something specific but we more or so talked about the latest happenings in the gambling area. Maybe it's because I have stopped trading the UK Horse racing markets in Betfair and I have also abandoned all my betting activities, since poker consumes the vast majority of my time. That may come as a surprise for most of my blog's visitors, who keep on emailing me asking for betting or trading advice. Certainly I haven't forgotten the gains or pitfalls of sports betting or trading and I believe I can be of some help to anyone who tries them. However, playing poker for so many hours and having read a lot of forum topics while watching innumerous coaching videos mean that I have fresher knowledge and information about poker than trading.

Not a great day yesterday. Although I had a great beginning, I then played for 5 or hours without accomplishing anything remarkable and finally lost all the winnings, mainly due to bad beats (read the daily bad beat compilation in the forum). I didn't play quite well to be honest, but still you want to get paid when you are miles ahead. Anyway, I broke even and here's the graph and stats (7.5 straight hours of play).
