Last night won the Raise the River poker online world series NLHE event. Link to the site at the right hand side of the page. Was lucky on two hands but was ahead every other time when I put my money in, so was happy with that. Seem like a good bunch of guys just up for a friendly game of poker with no huge egos floating around.
Well at least I can say I have won a world series as I think this will be the only one I will ever compete in.
Current Balance of the $10,000 challenge $258. To be honest I am having trouble dragging myself away from my regular game to play this limit but we will battle on.

The $10,000 Challenge
I recently downloaded and logged onto Empire poker. Low and berhold I had about $172 in my account from when I used to play limit there a couple of years ago...Whoooo! So I am mucking around at 25NL and I thinks to myself that I will have a crack at turning my original $172 into $10,000. See a screen shot showing my current balance left.
Okay here are the rules: I can play any NL cash games on Empire poker in an effort to build my balance up to $10,000. I may deposit to receive bonuses. Once the bonus has cleared I must withdraw the deposit used to receive the bonus. Deposits used for the bonus may not be used at the tables. Only the initial $172 + winnings + bonuses will be counted towards the $10,000.
This is a side project apart from my regular poker playing for kicks and the raison d'etre of this blog.
I have been playing while writing this and my current balance is $234.72

Back on air
Okay...after posting once and never again I thought I would restart the pokertaswegian blog and see what happens. I am currently playing 1/2-36 NLHE on Poker Heaven. Two reasons why I am playing there:
1. They have a promotion where if you rake $5000 in 3 months you get a big TV.
2. The players are soft.
Managed to turn $1,000 into $18,000 before hitting a bad run and also playing people that were better then me and dropping back down to $10,000. Withdrew $5000 so now Bank Roll is $5000 on Poker heavan.
I must say that poker blogs can be bloody boring so I will try to keep things short and sweet.
