3rd Place in the UP $6000 Tourney...



I didn't beat my last online final table finishing position (3rd) but I did improve on my return... last time I finished 3rd, I scooped $400, this time it was closer to $700... nice one! That's two top three finishes in a month.

I'm actually starting to enjoy online play, especially tournaments and I seem to be getting deep each night and hitting the money (usually for small amounts unfortunately) but I am also finding myself chip leader or in the top ten at the mid-way point in tournaments, which is good for my confidence. I've definitely adapted my play for tournaments and seem to be able to maintain my discipline for long periods of time, which is hard for me with the attention span of a mollusk! I'm hoping it's only a matter of time before I win one and when I do, I'll go on to try the bigger buy-ins (at the moment I am sticking to $5 and $10 tourneys although even these can get expensive if it's a $35,000 Re-Buy structure).

GREAT NEWS FOR FHP MEMBERS & PLAYERS!!!

In the next few weeks, we will be launching online tournaments for FHP players at Uncover Poker. This is going to be awesome as you will be playing against people you see at the Tipsy Toad from week to week AND if it is a success, we will be adding money to the prize pools, regardless of the number of players, but as our membership is over 16o at the moment, I'm confident this is going to be awesome. We're also looking into replicating our Bounty Hunter structure online (No buy-in but you pay the player who eliminates you £25). That one may be a bit harder but we are looking into it!

I'm also keen to work out a way for live players at the Tipsy Toad to win buy-ins to online tournaments and vice versa... WATCH THIS SPACE!

Also, fishhookpoker.com should be live in the next few weeks too, which means you can logon to see your player profile, how many points you have in the leagues, chat to other FHP members in the discussion forum and find the latest FHP news, offers and all things poker-related.
