Bulgaria and the business

I thought i should update my blog as alot has happened this month. I won a seat to go to EMOP Bulgaria next month for week so its going to be nice to get away from the online grind for a while. Im still playing poker there a couple of days, but something different. The only thing im not happy about is a connection flight in Vienna. One thing I noticed moving to Prague is that its not easy to fly from. I cant really complain though when my flights are paid for by the poker site.

I have been having a rough time of it this month online. but then this year has been very up and down so far. last month I won just over $4k, this month im breaking even. very annoying as well. It comes at a bad time because i've just started coaching and staking with a good friend of mine Chavarov. I have no financial problems but it would of been nice to have a good month this month. We have both been really surprised by the amount of guys with have playing for us. The money we make from this should take off any pressure that the online grinding gives.

Myself and Chavarov are offering coaching/staking at the 180s on pokerstars. The sessions will be conducted in spainish or english. We use skype along with team viewer/mikogo. Coaching will be 1 on 1 reviewing HH's.

All students must agree to be staked and coached. Not one or the other. If u are interested skype me gavin_555 (czech rep) or chavarov(mexico)

living in prague 2011

I havent done a blog entry for ages due to fact that I have been lazy updating it. Since the start of 2011 I have been living in prague.I decided towards the end 2010 that living in a sleepy part of England wasnt really me anymore. I have always lived in the same as house and just needed an adventure. Normally I dont put things that arent poker related on here but to be honest reading a few other poker blogs, reading"im doing well or doing badly" just gets a little boring.

I guess you could say me moving to prague is poker related as poker has funded my move here. If you havent been prague I recommend at some point you make the trip here. Its a really nice city with friendly people. Its a really small city so you wont spend time running around the sites against the clock. Living here has been a big change with food,language and just the way of life. but def something that I am enjoying.

Poker since I have got here is going unbelievably well. I had my targets and goals set for the year and I know we are only 2 weeks but I am playing tournaments that I wouldnt expect to be able to play for another 4-6months. Its a very exciting time atm and 2011 could be a big year.
