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.

For instance, to tell you the truth I really have no idea of how horse racing markets behave nowadays. I have no clue what the latest trend is regarding sports trading (I think everyone has tried to lay "Draw" before the kick-off and trade off in-play or lay the "0-0" scoreline in every football game) and don't know what the latest trading platforms' updates include. Last time I checked, Bollinger bands and other trading tools were to be implemented in the more sophisticated trading platforms designed for Betfair. I still believe trading the Betfair's markets by making good use of the charts is the way to go, but I'm not doing it anymore so can't comment more on that.

I try to play poker for about 8 hours daily but of course that isn't the case when you have a relationship, want to see friends and generally be social. Thankfully, all the people who mean a lot to me know how important business is for me and show great understanding. Additionally, living in a more healthy way has become one of my priorities lately and for that reason I try to exercise a bit and generally moving around more. Sitting on a chair in front of a computer for long hours can be hazardous for one's health and I have started to realize it. So, I purchased the latest release for Nintendo's console Wii, the Wii Fit.

It sure was a bit pricey but it can put you on a schedule for daily exercising. When you first fire up the game, it tells you if you are overweight or not and how dangerous that is. By being 1.82m tall and weighing 95kg I am definitely in the red zone. I am devoting about 1.5 hour each morning doing Yoga and muscle exercises, aerobic and playing the entertaining balance games. My aim is to lose more than 8kg in 2 months' time but I won't be disappointed if I won't manage that. The fact alone that I don't sit in front of my computer immediately after I wake up is by far a huge change to my way of living. Besides, I need to reach 72kg to be in an ideal weight. Yeah, not in this lifetime I guess!

That is about what is happening lately to my life for anyone who was interested. In the future, I hope I'll have some interesting articles for you to read and inspire more people to believe in themselves and be profitable. Best of luck to everyone until next time!
