Gday to all you poker players out there.

Well i just thought id add some photo's that i took during my time as a Media Reporter while the Grand Final @ Star City was being played.It was a great experience and i would do it all over again,i used my mobile phone and got voice recordings from players such as Joe Hachem,Peter Eastgate,Chris Moneymaker,Vanessa Roussoo and many others aswell.

I secured my media pass directly from APPT and was greatly appreciated.I havent got time to finish this post cause as of typing i have just made it itm in another 33$ tourney on stars.I will continue this post + give update on how i do in this tourney.So hungry to win this and i believe i got what it takes to do so.

Time will tell i guess.Been running deep but thats not good enough i know.I want to take it down so bad,not need but want.

To be continued.

Well i have made it itm once again in the 33$ 10k tourney.Im really hungry for a top 3 finish.

Anyway just thought id post a little update to you poker freaks out there.

Stack: largest 75351, smallest 43, average 20172
Your current position is 64 out of 87
Time bank balance is 64 seconds
in 9 min blinds 600/1200 ante 125
For more information see Tournament Lobby

I have 8k need some help ...

to be continued.

I have made it itm in the same 33$ tourney i have been playing tonite.I feel im gonna make a good run at this final table and if i can hit over 100k in chips then there will be no stopping me-as they say 1st 100k is the hardest then after that should be smooth sailing into the sunset.

I was in the BB and very shortstacked and it folded to the small blind who hits the time bank.I have rags and i can see the raise coming.Before he does raise i type in the chatbox " gl " as if im about to stack off with my hand.By the way i have open shoved 3 x to steal blinds and best hand was A8 spades.Well im still hanging in on thin ice and if i can gather some chips - i am on a weak table who i know i can push around.Need chips though.

Check it out here.

Currently playing a 33$ tourney with 10k gteed.So card dead and had only AQ and i try to to get cute with kj diamonds and get re-raised so i got out of the.Would have bricked the flop anyway.Way to early to get busted and i really want to do well for my 2 investors Poort and philter301.I had a event for sale and only sold a few shares so i will have to "modify" and reduce the amount of games to be played.Anyway just couldnt help myself and had to post another blog.

Cheers and hopefully i can turn this around and give you all a positive $tory/blog at the end of this story.heres a hand i just played .Maybe i could someone to comment on my blog tonite--lmfao

Hello to all the poker players and members of chipmeup.com.
I have decided to start a blog on here and will do a weekly blog.I am a member of cmu and have been for quite awhile now.I have seen it go from like 10 members in the shoutbox to averaging 40 - 50 at a time.I always knew it would grow into what is and what i am definately proud to call myself a chipmeup member.Anyway i have been playing a record 4 or 5 tourneys this week
(for this year) on pokerstars and have managed to find the appropriate time to concentrate and try to play properly.
I had a few little cashes in the 10k gteed and also the 25k gteed tourneys on stars.Also ran pretty deep in a 3$ rebuy and i only buy in once and add on at the break.Couldnt seem to build a large enough stack in all tourneys and was always hovering around the average chip mark.I hate having to open shove when its folded to you but if you have less then 13BB i think u need to make a stand before its too late.Once you only have 4 or 5 BB and they will call you with atc.We all seen it and ive done it too.
Anyway i wanted to start this blog and try to do a weekly update or deping upon my action on cmu,i probably give updates evry chance i can get.As of this writing cmu have just put ina new feature and its just status updates.Goodbye Twitter and im already off facebook as im totally over both fake applications.I will post updates regarding poker events and hands ive played etc etc.
Well id like to say a big SUP SUP to all the grinders and players over @ http://www.chipmeup.com and good luck to all hitting up the tables.
Cheers
