other things so much more important in life than poker

started doing this $0-$10K but last few weeks every thing gone wrong with winning $30/day , around the 17th went down with bad cold & not able to play much online but at least had young Jake Cody to watch winning the €5000 NLH main event at EPT Deauville

also decided to play BAP on StakeaShark.com playing 15 games of $11.00 mtt sng ( 27 & 45 man ) with 60/40 to backers + stakeback & winning over $300 from those games , never play it because need bankroll but find playing with other peoples money helps me focus on winning , nearly all the backers have staked me before so know how I play & chance of returning profit for them

the main reason I decided to do a Chris Ferguson challenge was because last year had loads going on away from poker & was affecting my results & need to get back & focus again ,
one thing is we were selling my late parents bungalow which they built in early 60s , there was few things with it like mine shaft in front garden so was sold at auction for £180,000 on 15/12/09 & finalised in last two weeks , to be split between my brothers & sisters

to our shock one of them , my Brother Keith died on the 30/01/10 age 56 , he loved his football & cars + steam/stationary engines & used to show his engines in the summers
when we were young we both had big motor bikes & used to ride each others all the time , mine being a Ducati 900 & he having a Honda 900 ,
still in state of shock with so much to sort out , enjoy my poker but time for break & take it up again when ready

Keith RIP
