Summary of my 2006 Poker Year

It’s been a long while since I did any updates, I’ve been busy between doing poker writing and playing the game and firbolg has suffered from a lack of updates as a result unfortunately. I’m going to just quickly surmise my poker year in 2006.€

Well I think my game improved a hell of a lot during 2006 and I made a decent five figure sum in cash games. I’ve been playing online now for several years and of course that experience is one reason. However I think the main reasons for the improvement were getting to chat regularly to some winning players, who I encountered online. One of them is a Slovenian guy who is one of the biggest online winners in Europe, a few tips I got off him during the start of 2006 had an immediate impact on my no limit hold em game. The second is Matthew Hart, an online poker pro from the United States, I chat to Matt several times a week about poker and other stuff, and like to think we both have helped each other out a lot with our game, and though I have never actually met Matt I consider him a very good friend at this stage.

Another major reason for my poker improvement is down to getting involved, in the summer of 2006, on the biggest Irish poker forum, of the very popular site boards.ie. I have learned a lot from some of the many great posters there, four or five of whom I now chat to on msn also about Poker. I hope I have given something back to both the fourm and to the guys I chat about poker with some of my own opinions and advice also.
