Hey Readers,

It has been about that length of time when I decide to check my blog for any comments and realise I haven’t updated it for a while, woops

Poker:

In terms of poker things have continued on the up and up which is amazing, I wake up feeling fresh and willing to play (albeit not for for long periods of time! ). I haven’t really ever had a phase like this in my poker career when whatever play I make it seems to be a correct one, my hands are generally holding up when I am a favourite and so forth. It is certainly nice to be “running good”.

Pushing through June:

I have been doing a lot of coaching on the side of my play which I think is a big part of the reason why I feel so good about my game when I do play. I am really trying to help my students as much as I can to improve their game and I really enjoy seeing them progress or have moments when a huge concept seems to “click”. I have also been preparing a poker related business in my free time which I hope will go live by the end of the month (more details to come ).

Basketball/Fitness:

My good friend Mitch recently asked me to play in his Tuesday night team which is awesome, we are playing in a newly built stadium with super nice courts, unfortunately the quality of refereeing isn’t quite as nice as the quality of the building. We won the first game I played in last Tuesday the 15th, I think I scored like 8 points and dominated the defensive rebounds which is always nice.

We unfortunately lost tonight by 2 points after a very lengthy ref decision lost us over a minute on the clock (the clock’s don’t stop ) when we were down around 10 points with 4 mins left on the clock. We came back in an NBA finals game style finish to lose by 2 points with me scoring about 6 points in the last 2 minutes. I think I finished up with about 14 points out of our teams 36. One of the guys on the opposite team drilled about 6 or 7 from outside which really hurt our early lead we had made in the first half.

Hey Readers,

Moving on towards the middle of June (holy crap this year is FLYING) things are going great. I am keeping myself super busy with a lot of poker related stuff, unfortunatley that means my social life has been on the back burner, but my friends will hopefully still accept me if I abandon them for a few weeks.

I have decided to buy myself a few goodies so as the title says my credit card is getting a bit of a beating (for what its worth, I am normally not a person who spends much money on myself).

Logitech kb/mouse combo:

It is going to take some getting used to, but the keyboard is a nice upgrade from the 3+ year old keyboard I used to have. This new one is packed with extra features like the LCD display (can display time, outside temp, current song being played in iTunes.. etc).

The Zotac Zbox:

I bought this little beauty for watching TV shows and movies on my TV after some recommendation and help from my friend Jason. It is basically a tiny little PC that holds 1 hard drive but can connect to the rest of my computers at home via wireless or cabled networking. I am looking forward to spending some solid time on the couch watching some movies new and old.

Third on the list is the Logitech Harmony One universal remote control:

This bad boy can basically control any device that receives an IR (infared) signal. Instead of having 1 remote for each device in your main living area a universal remote can be programmed to control all of them with ease. I can sit on the couch, turn the heater on, switch between pay tv, digital tv, dvd player, my new pc (as above) all from this remote. Genius I know!!

My poker results going from May into June haven’t slowed down. I finished my staking contract with my coach and we ended on good terms with both of us making a lot of money. I have decided to play the mid stakes poker games on my own money for a higher level of risk for myself, hopefully yielding a higher return.

June so far:

I am also in the midst of producing my first video for http://www.DeucesCracked.com (the poker coaching website I mentioned in my last blog post) which will hopefully done by weeks end, however I am not going to rush it as I want the video to be top notch.

That’s all for now,

Newman.

Hey Readers,

I just thought I would write a quick blog with my may results.

All in all a stellar month.

In other news I have just been accepted as a coach for the poker training website http://www.deucescracked.com and will hopefully be producing video content for them shortly.
