Where it began.....

For those of you who don't know me my name's Nick, and i have just finshed at Durham University where i got a 2:2 in Accounting & Finance. For various reasons i got my 2:2 despite a number of 1st class marks in some modules so u can imagine how bad the others must have been for me to manage that!!!

This blog will hopefully be mainly about poker but i am currently looking for a job so hopefully i'll be able to tell u all of some good news when i get some.

Where it began - I was born on the 22 March 1984 in Manchester...... i prob just not bore u all with my 1st 21yrs and move straight to the poker. I started playin Texas HE when i came to uni and got my 1st set of cheap plastic chips for Xmas and soon began a very comical home game in halls every week. We were soon watching it on TV and started playin online at Interpoker as it was the only site which worked on the uni network.

Easter of my 1st year i signed up to Party Poker as i found a very good bounes, it was around $300 free after i played a certain amount of raked hands. I think i deposited $100 and played 25c/50c limit he as i was too scared to play NL. This worked out very nicely and i made a small profit but made the full bounes.

I then set up an account with Poker Room where they had an amazing value tourny $1 with $1000 added and usually attracted just over 1000 people but unfortulantly after the US got banned they stopped this. Since i have set up a number of accounts but never really managing a bankroll and just playing low stakes MTT's with a few STT's mixed in.

At the end of the year i set up the Queen's Campus poker society and became president. Thats my very brief account of my 1st year at uni and i will continue it 2morrow hopefully but its 4am and i need some sleep before the game.

Come On Liverpool!!!!!
