I AM BACK!

After a long hiatus, I am back. A lot has happened in the last year or so, but I will slowly update you guys. Anyway, please continue to follow me as I bring you poker tips, poker news, betting tips, sports betting discussions, my personal poker journey etc.

Good luck!

Suarez or Higuan?

Well, sorry for not posting in such a long time. I am back and will start to write more regularly. I will be traveling much for poker and will share with you some of my experiences. But for now, it is about football! Arsenal in particular.

So most other teams have started to buy players. Apart from a lot of outgoing players and Sanago, we have yet to secure any new player. At first the rumours were about Higuan which is a player I like a lot. But now it is about Suarez.

Skills wise, and form wise, Suarez is definitely the pick. He reminds me of Samir Nasri at his peak. Higuan is scoring goals, but his lack of first team outings may mean he is still a risky pick. However Suarez is not the type of "nice-guy" player that Arsene likes in his team. Remember Anelka? He was good, but he didn't fit into the team. Arsene's players are all (at least from where we are looking) nice guys and easy going, far from controversy and misbehaviour.

So who will it be? Or will it be neither or someone else? Arsenal needs to start the season strong and be more consistent!

Van Persie Transfer Saga

Last year it was Fabregas and Nasri, this year it is Van Persie. The question that only remains is how much and where to. I am an avid Arsenal fan but even then I have to concede that RVP is not going to stay. We shall sorely miss him. However lets look at how the Arsenal sales have done in the past.

Robert Pires: Broke his leg in his first season away from Arsenal.
Mathieu Flamini: Remember this guy? Know where he is now? Neither do I.
Henry: Sold to Barce, loaned to New York, never returned to his former glory
Fabregas: Had a super start, but fizzled in the end. Won 3 "trophies" in his first month there, but did not win one major trophy. Not even La Liga.
Nasri: Was an unused sub for most of the league. Man City did win the championship, but he did not contribute much and was not at his Arsenal best.

All the best to you Robin!

The Grinder does it again!

MICHAEL MIZRACHI Wins the 2012 Poker Players' Championship

The Grinder does it again. His 3rd WSOP bracelet, but his 2nd Poker Players' Championship. Arguably one of the hardest tournaments around, with big names and needing proficiency in 8 different games, he's done it again. This win earns him another $1.4 million to add to his poker winnings. Still it is only his 3rd biggest score from a tournament. Unbelievable.

Well done "Grinder"

EURO 2012 Quarter Finals - Czech Republic vs Portugal

We're in the Quarters. First up the Czechs will face Portugal. Portugal is ranked 10th in the world as opposed to 37th for the Czech Republic. Of course the book makers are favouring Portugal. Unsurprisingly seeing as their main man Ronaldo is on a hot streak, scoring 2 goals and hitting the post twice in his last game. We hope he will continue to do so as I am going to go for OVER 2.5 goals.

I think this should be a good bet as we shall see Portugal continue to press their attacking style. If Portugal scores first, then the Czechs will have to respond. That means more open spaces and more goals. In their last game, Portugal should have scored at least 3-4 goals. So this can be a very open encounter.

OVER 2.5 goals! Go go go!

Celina Lin wins the Macau Poker Cup - The Red Dragon.... AGAIN!

Congrats Celina, worthy champion. You deserve it!



I have played with Celina a couple of times. She is a friendly person, great smile and always with kind words to say. She is not a proud person and with her good looks, it doesn't surprise me she is a fan favourite. After a spell of bad luck and really tough tournaments, it is great to see her win another prestigious title. And her winning hand? 64 off suit!!!! You go girl! :)
