Jinxing heads-up matchs and dreaming about Vegas....

I managed to put the absolute mockers on myself yesterday by reporting in my blog that I was leading in my game against LuckyLucky. I've no idea why I even mentioned the game. I ended up losing the game 2-1 in a typical Andy Black style fall from grace!

LuckyLucky deserved his win though on all evidence. He was the aggressor in all three games and was the one making things happen. I waited a (little too patiently) and it cost me the game. I was getting raised every hand from Barry and there was only so long I could wait to trap before he's taken a significant portion of my stack. The defeat was a lesson for me and re-emphasises how difficult Serie A will be. The experience of the competition can only be of benefit though I believe.

I haven't been playing much at all other than the heads-up game so nothing to report. In my spare time I've been looking into trips to Las Vegas for the end of the year. I plan on going for a week or so in November. It will be my first time there so I'm quite excited to say the least! I have heard many stories from people about it already so it'll be nice to be able to see the town for myself.

Elsewhere on the Irish poker scene there has been little to report. Macspower has been busy altering from maniac LAG to super nit in the past couple of days with mixed success. I propose doing an interview with him this week to delve into the mind of this Internet poker junkie. I'd like to hear his tales of woe but more importantly learn of the happier moments, times of break-through etc.

If there is anyone else who my readers (is there any?) would like me to interview post me a comment and I'll get cracking on it. Would be interesting to hear the views of a few of the Irish characters such as macspower.


That's it for today folks. Check back tomorrow for the next installment....
