21st April

Couldn't think of a blog title today so came up with that ^ riveting one.  There's been a lot more interesting things going on in the poker world recently which I'm sure my loyal readers are aware of.  It's really difficult to know what to think as noone really knows what is going to happen in the short and long term.  My thoughts are that the long term future is bright if online poker becomes fully regulated in the US and in the short term all non-US poker players won't be too harmed by losing the US market.  I feel a bit sorry for the american pros, though they really should have made contingencies for such events because the legal situation with online poker has been so tenuous there in recent years.

It definitely makes you think about what you would do if poker came to an ubrupt end like it has in the US.  I certainly don't want it to happen, though it wouldn't worry me too much as I have a degree and money saved up.  I also feel like I've learnt a lot of skills through poker that would be useful in other industries, not that you could put that on a CV of course.

Poker is still going pretty well though I'm not putting in a lot of volume.  I'd quite like to get to 30k hands by the end of the month though this seems unlikely at my current rate.  I'm thinking of doing a whole month in May of MTTs.  I have thought about doing this for a while and May seems like a good month to try as I have two live tournaments lined up and there is the SCOOP on Stars.  Though I expect my hourly to be significantly less that it would be in cash games I think it will be an interesting experiment, and there's always the chance that I could run hot and bink a massive score.
