RETIRE THIS BLOG.

June 25th, 2010 David Nicholson No comments

Hi guys!

Just to let you know this will be my LAST blog entry on this blog.

I decided that after a long time been away from Harrogate I dont really do anything that benefits the Nutz anymore (I would love to still be able to support the club) and a LOT of the people I started playing with have moved on, so I am going to do as well. I dont feel its appropiate for me to blog here now I dont bring any benefit to the club.

The Nutz (or White Rose card club as it was in my day) has played a MASSIVE PART in my life. I am privileged to have ever set foot in the club, and I’ve met some truly wonderful people – I cant thank everyone enough for the kindness and support they showed me, Thanks Guys.

My blog will continue at http://lildavefish.pokerweblogs.com/ so if anyone wants to keep tracks on where I’m at then I will be updatinng there regulally!

Gl everyone – and keep in touch!

Was not really expecting this weekend….

June 17th, 2010 David Nicholson No comments

Well, I spose it’s been a good week.

Poker, however did not go very well, I had some great plans but ran into a few snags.

The first nightmare i had was at the hands of my loyal and trustworthy bank Natwest (doubt i need to explain these again lol) strange I have been at Natwest since i was 12 (which, yes, is more than 3 years ago whoever was about to say that) and never had a spot of bother with them, so what on earth has happened with them over the last 6 weeks I have no idea but they messed up really badly – and I wanted to have a decent chunk of money with me over the weekend so had to go on the mega nip and ruslted some funds up.

Played Cash on friday and there was a decent chunk of action about, we got two 50p/£1 games and two £200 min £1/£2 games running, however for some reason I found myself on the worst table for the whole night and despite me constantly moving about to get to the better games as soon as i got their the games got bad, so i spent the whole evening wondering about and then when we got sat down ran AK into 22 on a AK2 board and said GG to about £600. sigh.

Saturday rolled around and I played the £500, had to pay £550 not £350 after being horribly messed about by everyone – was really annoyed someone told the guy I was buying my seat off I was skint and couldnt afford it…then I gto another seat bought but a communication mix up lost me that as well, but anyway doesn’t matter but still some dirty play somewhere in the midst of this, I wont let it bother me. Lost AQ vs KQ, and QQ vs 63 to the same guy which saw the end of me in the £550, the guy in question played terribly all day and he then went on to win the tournamnet….

Tourney play = all skill, ye sure ! ! !

Having said this I actually enjoyed myself in the masters I found everyone on my table to be really good company and the winner was a nice guy as well, so in the time I played in the comp I had a good time. Looking forward to playing another comp soon tbh.

Luckily as well I bust the tourney Just before the england game so went to see Tommy C and watch the england game and the less said about that game the better! I mean there was a player i the USA team who was RELEASED, yes RELEASED, as in, not even worth keeping him, and he wasn’t worth enough to sell, from WATFORD. yes a WATFORD cast off, and Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney, Terry and the £1.5m p/week guys couldn’t rustle up a win! still first game and an easy group so in a way professional job done, in other ways a terrible performance!

This leads me to the down points of my week, the world cup – now as some people may be aware Im partial to the occasional sports bet – however I have miles more sensible this year, so allowed myself the world cup to “go for it”……………

Dont want to go into details, but its going VERY VERY BADLY. !  . ! . !

My real world adventures have been going well, the Whitby project is nearly over and I’m really happy with what I’ve done. I have another project lined up for August and then I have some really exciting plans for September, Thinking of another move oversea’s not been away abroad since I got back from Cyprus in october 2008 which is nearly 2 years so Rob suggesting spending 4/6 months over winter in the states so we might check L.A out for the winter - persuading the newly minted Jamie Sykes to join as well :)

I think I’m going to be making a return to the online felt soon in build up to America – need to make some $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Well hopefully everything’s ok @ the club and everyone’s good, saw Mr Vanzo and Mr Lee at the master’s which was really nice and Peter put in a good show so very well played to him, nice to see you both!

SIGH that I didnt see my old buddy mr Average Dave though, who I believe has now gone back to the STATES :’(  See ya later Big buddy take care dude! :) STAY I TOUCH!

Thats about all from me – one of these days I will post an interesting blog…….maybe

Gl all

UK POKER FTMFW ! ! !

June 6th, 2010 David Nicholson No comments

Massive congrats to,

1) Praz Bansi

2) James Dempsey

3) Stu Rutter

4) Neil Channing (grrrr)

Uk poker is pretty much ruling the planet these days :) 2 bracelets and a 2 and 4 in the same event is a benchmark for UK MAIN EVENT winner #1, whoever that is going to be – be nice for it to be a leeds boy i.e. Rob Woodcock, but if its JP Kelly and I ship my bet that is cool also!

Not really heard much of the action from vegas, only the big tourney sweats, but im feeling absolutley devestated im not out there, but meh what can you do iv had a lovely week in whitby (sigh, such beats) now im preparing to go down south and see some family for a few days before returning to leeds, to cruuuuuuuuuush the leeds masters! Decided about 6weeks ago i wanted to spend some more time with my young cousins who I an supposedly godfather to (hahaha) I wanna be referred to as “cool cousin david” – (in the playground on a monday) “so where did you go this weekend?” “Went to stay with my cousin in leeds, he is well cool, we hired some strippers and drank beer whilst snorting coke off them all night”…I dont know exactly how to implement the “cool” aspect yet but the boy will be getting an online poker account with $250 in it to grind when he is 12.lol.

Was going to sell my NTOG shares, they got to 0.9p which would have meant a slight loss, but could use the cash and I have a decent wedge tied up in these things, but then when i actually got round to it they were back at 0.59 so fuck it, I wont be selling now! if they were to spike to 3/4p that would be fantastic :)

Anyway guys there is just a little update – would be really cool to see some guys from the nutz in leeds next weekend, the schedule is…

Friday – £200 freezeout

Saturday £500 Freezeout

Sunday – FINAL of the £500. £100 freezeout.

We’ll be going for drinks on sunday night for sure, and more than likely saturday night as well so will be a really good laugh, msg me on facebook or text/call me if you need some more details!

Well, no poker has been played and none will be until next weekend, so GL guys and take care.

And I would like to lead the salute to Mr. Jonni Ball, who has done wonders for manhatten poker. WP sir
