Year End Fast Approaching

December is never the best for poker, as players have other family commitments to worry about, so I guess I am entering the last 4 weeks of playing time for the year, before taking a couple of weeks off and ushering in 2009.

Tonight, I’ve decided to play the UKPT £300 side event at The Vic, my last sizeable buy in event for the year. The rest of the month will bounce between online tournaments and Loose Cannon League nights. I’ll also squeeze in a trip to the International at some point as I haven’t been there yet.

The tentative plan for the first half of 2009 will be a Dusk Till Dawn festival in Nottingham in February, the Irish Open in April, a UKPT event and then Vegas for WSOP. After that I’ll take stock and see how much I have in the tank for the rest of the year, as with the economy as it is, the bankroll for next year is likely to be significantly reduced. The USD exchange rate is also a factor of course, as this has effectively increased the cost of the trip to Vegas by 30%.

I’ll post again tomorrow with a report from the Vic. Honest Dave, Jalfont and Sir Mike should also be in action, so hopefully one of us can run well.
