DEC 8
I can feel myself coming out of the bad times and last month proved that it was coming. Made a withdraw from Sportsbook.com and had the withdraw remorse every always talks about. Got a new book for x mas, Gus Hansen. Good read I recommend it. Playing the usual at PDC things are good for me. I hope they are good for you and you had some happy holiday fun!.

Nov 8
Very slow month for me I couldn't hit a card if you taped it to the wall for me!. Bad bad bad. I stayed away a lot and still lost my ass... untill! The 29th. Where I won about $1750 at sportsbook poker 15k bounty. Which I qualifyed for on just 6 bucks like I told ya a few months ago. Got 2nd place. Which more than made up for all my losing for the month and hey will pay for Christmas!! On Absolute I maintained my "fame" status. I dunno why, lol, made some small gains over there. That's all for this month. Stack 'em high and let em fly.

Oct 8
Yeah well October kinda sucked as I expected did the usual on PDC played in Doyle's Room. They ( Doyle's ) had a "bonus" deal where ya reload for 75$ and they gave ya entry into their $250K toury worth $165 enrty fee but they screwed me out of my entry. Funny thing is I told my buddy about it and he got entry came in 27th or so and took home $780. Bad thing is I think hes been 8 weeks waiting on his withdraw. Be carefull over there. Im not happy with them they screwed a few people in that promo I hear. An I know from my own experiences. I calculate they lost 80k on that tourny and god knows how many players got pissed. They NEVER did reply to my email.. re: dick u louse. Oh well water under the bridge. Kinda unlucky month for me but hey gotta get through the bad to the good... Good luck to ya!

Sept 8
I hit a 486$ win over at sportsbook poker just like I told ya last month. I got in the 250k ( their big monthly tourny) at the qualifyer break for $3+3+3. That's a buy in then a rebuy and an add-on. This gives you 5500 chips which is usually around where the money line is. All you have to do is beat usually 1 in 4 to qualify. So go there buy in and play tight till you hit your hand an hey your in!. Also this month I played at Absolute and the usuual PDC. Same ol stuff there some small gains. Its coming time in the year for me to lay off poker so I can come back fresh. Keep'em rakin in!

Aug 8
I hit Monster time in my Bio!. Funny thing is I didn't have any single monster time where I said "wow Im lucky" I was just pullin in cash from everywhere. Kept my mind in the game and managed my stacks and roll. ( Doubled my roll again over last month.) Playin on the new "PDC" and Full Tilt. Also playin on the one I mentioned last month "sportsbook poker" man there is some donkeeees over there ..lol but one thing I really like is : they have late buy in, well as late as 1 hour.. by then the amount of players had dwindled down to where you can get in .. rebuy and add on and be average stack with 1 in 4 making the money, its pretty sick really, but then you have to watch out for the donkeys. Have a monster month, Good luck!.

July 8
Things ramped up nice in July as expected. Started out by winning a lot of small tournys like 2-3 $ buy-ins with under 100 people in them. Pulling in 30-40 bucks each time, minded my stack a lot tighter, didn't play when I didn't feel good and walla' I took my roll to 10 times what it was. Playing on Poker.com, Full Tilt and Absolute. I also opened an account at sportsbook poker. Stay alert out there - it pays!

June 2008
Well things have come to a stand still in my game. I cant win a hand if I caught quads,.. lol But hey im just stayin away. I'm trying to keep in my mind when it breaks and I start hittin ill be a monster! ( cause its pretty bad now ) VirgoPoker still aint right yet but we'll get there. That's all for this month have a good one.

May 2008
www.VirgoPoker.com is up and running well sort of. We havent had a freeroll yet still workin out the bugs on the page. I continued to win those early morning tornys on Poker.com, actually quite a pile of them! They are adding up nice now. Also been playing some Omaha H/L. I like that game when im getting crap cards. ( duh I can hit the low ) hehe. Its springtime and im getting the itch to go outside a bit more so that's all for this month. good luck on the tables!

Apr 8
In poker playing history -- It got hot in the morning tournys on Poker.com ran up some nice small wins over and over every day. $30 and $40 a pop with very little investment. We started a new site called www.virgopoker.com where we will have info on our freerolls. My brother qualifyed for the 750$ k on tilt other than those items not much happened. Good luck on the tables.

Mar 8
Cooled off a bit but still a good month. Won money on Poker.com again. Got 3rd in the $625 ( I thought I was going to be the 1st to win the thing two times! I changed my style of play a bit and it made me more aggressive. This in turn made me have more chips when I reached the money which makes life a lil easier! Played out a bonus that Full Tilt gave us for like anybody who was online when their server messed up… got a $Jackson out of it but it was a lot of work for it. I played some on PokerStars too just to stay active over there.. welp.. may all your flops be lively!

Feb 8
Feeling much better this month. Laid off some and read a book and some articals on line. Won the $625 on Poker.com and qualifyed in a sub satellite to the $750k on Full Tilt. Also had a week where I won everything seemed like. I won money in Doyle's Room in the bounty too. SitnGo's at Absolute. Good month I tell ya'. May your flops be live ones!

January 2008
We'll see whats in store this year as the news of opening bonuses, new sites, and many page updates will bring in a prosperous year for the players.
NEW!! Incorporated Texas Hold'em Rules to our page, check it out! Still configuring our Poker Terms/Glossary for you visitors to enjoy, come back and keep on checking!

What a hurendous month... everything I touched turned to crap.. I could hit wuad aces on the flop and get called all in and somebody would have hit a royal I swear... that didn't happen but every flip of the cards I cringed. Like I knew what was coming.. I know you know what I mean. The small bright spots I had were at Poker.com where I went deep in the daily $625 a few times and Full Tilt where I won a 180 $2 sitngo, we hope your flops are live ones! ( but not against me )

Dec 07
December started out bad but wound up good. Doyles Room opened back up and I slipped in there to get a nice 200% bonus and a rebate on the bounty they have every Wednesday, which was the highlight of my month actually. Im sittin there in the Bounty and Hoyt Corkins sits across from me with a stack 2x mine but hey ok im happy to be there then i double up through him and im reeeely happy.. a few seconds later Mike Caro sits 2 down on my left with only 350 in chips!( he's worth $500 if you ko him) I get a nice hand on the button and that puts Mike on the Big Blind so he's screwed but the job still has to be done ya know. Anyway he gets 5 callers to the blind and its to me. I have A9 but im lookin at all the players in already and decide id rather win than to chase a dream. ( my buddys screamin go go go) lol no I cant just donk off like that and try to su?k out. So I fold and Mike goes all in with the rest.. blah blah blah Hoyt Corkins Ko'd 3 ( I woulda lost). Then the table gets broke up... But my heart was a pounding. I did the usual on Poker.com and Full Tilt. I reloaded on Poker.com just to work off a 100% bonus though.. Keep'em hittin the felt!

Nov 07
Dismal month but hey what can ya do? I stayed away as much as I thought I should and still managed to loose money. Had one or two bright mornings on Poker.com but not enough of em. Watched my buddy run up a nice roll on Full Tilt. Sheesh ya think he would throw me a bone eh? Well that's the way it goes sometimes. Hang in there.
