Lol very good flop lol thats been happening to me all day, admittedly I played the hand pretty poorly so fair play to you girl, stack them chips!!

Going to bed now will do a full update tomorrow but played about 3k hands today and played them badly I might add!!

Night All!!

You had Aces and I flopped the nut straight, not really much else you could of done to be fair!

HI guys,

I must apologise for my absence over the last couple weeks, something come up called Christmas, you might have heard of it. Well its over now and I am back ready to hulk smash the tables at BetVictor.

Christmas turned out to be busier than I expected. Had my brother and his kids turn up, sister too and it was nice if I am honest. I try to keep away from the riff raff (love you all really) but at Xmas time you have to make a little effort. We had some good times to be fair all ended up round my mums for a bit of grub and loads of booze. Not often that we are all in the room together so was a nice surprise.


Heres a few of us with Mrs. Brown who turned up Boxing Day


Here's me and the kids having a lil gamble. The one in the middle is Lil Miss Sunny, she is mine the other two are my bros. they hadn't seen each other for nearly a year so was sweet when they all played together. The boy cracked me up, soon as he see me "Uncle Shadrach can we play poker?" I laughed and said you got some money? to which he replied "£100". I said to him I haven't got that much, to which he replied again "What? Im not playing you then, I thought you was good!" Quality child he is 8. Anyway as you can see we got a little game going, which turned out to be a pre flop shove fest that ended up being a high stakes game of snap instead, good times. Excuse the booze in the pic I've told my daughter to be more discreet around the young ones, but at 11 they don't listen lol.


This is them smashing Little Big Planet Karting. Funny I went home to get changed and ended up looking after 3 kids for 3 hours while everyone else enjoys an afternoon snooze, cheers then!


Heres me and Mrs.b again, I have to admit it was the only decent thing on tv this xmas, that and new years eve's Jools Holland. In case you wondering my bro turned up with a life size cutout of her, proper funny, my mums Irish and believe me she is the real Mrs.Brown, proper legend.

Anyway thats enough shit chat, I mean chit chat, better talk some poker.....sod it done enough typing for now, I will do it in a bit time for a small chronic break me thinks, speak soon. Quality I done a spell check and apparently I spelt karting wrong and the suggestion it give me was farting, excellent!

I hate computers!!!!!!!

awesome post buddy. looks like you had the perfect christmas! lets crush 2014!

Thanks Boss lets hope so!! Did you enjoy Sherlock? Good show I will have to catch up with the ones I have not seen.

Anyway here is the poker update for the month and a end of year round up. I will only talk about my time as a VIP donkey and not the whole year or I will bore you all senseless. So first pic December graph.


As you can see the month started so well for me and was smashing it....then I just donked off loads and played like a twat. I find this happens when I take more than 3 days off from the game so this is something I need to look at so if anyone has any suggestions on this please post. As you can see volume was not too great but give me a break its Christmas!!

I was moved up by Jon to nl20 at the start of December and was a bit hit and miss. I didnt want to just jump straight in so have been introducing it to my game. I normally play 6 tables so started playing 2 tables of nl20 and the rest at nl10 and then increasing when I felt comftable. January will be the test though as no there is no boozing and over munching to distract me, and I want to get some good volume in too.

I wont say Im happy about December, but a profit is a profit none the less. Really like the ideas floating about around the new regular LOCKDOWN promos and think this is where VIP will make their mark in the poker world. Word will travel and I think its going to be a big year for everyone and this site will go BOOM!!!!

Next pic. This one is my graph so far as a VIPer.


Not the greatest of starts but with hard work and super grinding powers I am hoping to smash it in 2014, and hopefully jump up to the next step on the way to never working again!! There are lots of things I need to do as a player to improve but will go into this in another post once I work out some achievable, realistic goals of things I want in 2014.

Not had this laptop long so thought I would chuck this graph in of the data I have on it so here you go.


Well thats enough for now, I wish all the staff and members of PokerVIP a very happy and prosperous New Year and Good Luck at the tables!!

#2014YEAROFTHEVIPER

Very nice posts Sunny! Love that you got completely owned by your nephew haha! Nice to learn a bit more about you and your life. All the best for 2014!

Incredible! Just a pure beast.

2014 is gonna be huge for you. no doubt at all!

Wow what a boring night of poker that was!! Mundane cards all night, never got paid when I got the goods just one of those days, but hey ho thats poker!!

I played around 2.4k hands tonight and made a grand total of 1 buck, yes bout 4 hours grinding for a buck thanks poker gods!!

I still have not come up with any sensible goals for this year, I like Jon's missions challenge, and hats off to him, but that is far too hardcore for me. If anyone can give me a few ideas fair play to you. One thing I do need to do is lose a few pounds and try that thing called exercise, but my biggest problem is motivation, so thats probably where I should start. Any ideas?

Quick tune to end the night, bit of old skool, enjoy....

Working in a gym I should be a lot fitter than I am, and definitely one of my goals this year is to lose a bit of weight. Got some ideas for motivation for you though;

1. Get your hands on a copy of that insanity DVD. If you're struggling for motivation, being in your own home and own surroundings will help and sticking to something on a screen too as you can compete against the tv rather against nothing. 40mins a day im sure you could spare.

2. Competing is gona help a lot, so if you dont fancy that, join the gym with someone around the same level or slightly stronger than you, dont worry too much if they're lifting heavier or running further, your goal is to match them and catch up and surpass them. Another great motivational tip to really challenge yourself.


3. GET A PT!? Obviously the most expensive out of the choices, but if you can afford it, its definitely worth looking at, good PTs can really help motivate you, set diet plans and goals for you to achieve. Its like having these guys hammer you for hands and profit and post and all the little bits in order to improve you, but YOU are the one to make that difference.

4. WATCH ONE OF JONS VIDEOS!


Good luck with the goals for 2014 brother!

Pretty solid rundown there.

Number 3 it has to be for me, cant do it by myself and my last PT was the nuts, even just chilling after a sesh. Deffs good to have someone shouting at you a bit and also someone to pull you off the floor when you crash....LITERALLY.

Big year for you buddy. gl

Haha birlliant! Better then a loss though buddy!

Thanks guys, I have been experiencing a bit of life tilt last couple of days, but I am going to return tomorrow and smash some shit up. I am going to have my own lockdown tomorrow as I have the day and pretty much the evening to myself, gonna take it slow and drop to 4 tables and just enjoy the game.

Too much range merging polarisation, 3bet, barrel, donk bet, river shove stuff can take the fun out of poker and a lot of us forget the reasons why we started playing this game in the first place. So for me tomorrow will not be a grind but a day of enjoyable poker and if I win a few quid then that is a bonus.

Life is too short people, don't make it a grind, enjoy what you do!!

Not too bad a day today bit up and down, pretty happy with my play overall, few stupid mistakes like bet sizing which is something I need to look at. I cant seem to string any consistent results together at the moment which I am not used to but have to just keep ploughing on. Starting to get used to the increase in money since moving up stakes so hopefully things will change.

I did want to play longer tonight but ran out of tobacco and I am certainly not playing without a smoke!!

I will be playing during Lockdown tomorrow night but wont be able to keep up with the big boys but have to get stuck in regardless.

I am amazed about your play man! keep crushing. NL50 this month?

Lol thanks Maris, but no chance cant get any decent results at nl20 but im hoping this going to change soon.

Outkast ft goodie mob! Does not get much better than that!

Going to play the UKIPT next week, need to load up the phone with some tunes. GET LISTING BRO. #onmylevel

As for your play keep on doing it, over a year you will be amazed at your profit and the strides you can make.

Ty Jon, I will just keep playing my game I know the results will come.
