Hey guys!

Firstly, an apology for not being around much over the last few weeks. My schedule has been, well hectic to say the least, what with scoop etc.

With regards to scoop... well it went ok! After playing professionally for 4 years, I actually managed to final table my first major series tournament! Kinda unfortunately, it was the $22 Stud Hi Lo event in which I came sixth! Would love to make a review of the tournament, but I don't know of any hand history replayers that support stud hi/lo! But the replay of the final table *which was kinda shortlived for me* is available on the pokerstars client as we speak!

On to my heads up challenge... well, it just didnt happen. I mean, i ran so bad that I had to put the challenge to one side, and actually concentrate on winning. So that was an EPIC fail, but look out for something similar in the near future.

And finally... the long overdue second part to my MTT for beginners series... well it should be available in the coming days.

I ask you to bear with me on this one. Firstly, I had to get to the late stages of an MTT so that I could review it in video format, and that itself took some time. And then, the powerpoint presentations do take a lot longer to do. What I've done is add little bits and pieces here and there, and because it's classroom format, I want to make sure that everything within the video is 100% perfect before distributing it.

So ye! Thats it really, just wanted to apologise for being a hermit over the last month but now I'm back!

Hey Matt,

I followed the scoop a little bit and I did see your name in the results. Nice one! I had no time to play any of these tournaments, they last too many hours...at least if you do well. I qualified once for a scoop $109 buyin tournament, i think two years ago. I went out after twenty minutes when my kings were crushed by aces. Actually my opponent called me stupid for 5betting and calling the allin. I guess his range must have been AA lol.

good luck in your future tournaments.

Erik
