Graph attached below for March so far (in Euro).

I've gotten a bit bored of blogging at the moment, as shown by the lack of updates; for once its not due to losing. I need Cardrunners to release another good CTS video to regenerate my motivatation to be involved in the community.

I produced my own video a while back (here) and it got a decent reception, but I'm not sure whether to make more at the moment. Poker players have such high hourly rates compared to most real-world jobs that I'm not sure that median-level journalism-type work will ever pay competively, and so I think it only gets done when people want to do it for reasosn other than just getting paid. When I applied to make a video it was because I really liked the idea of working with a company that was predominately Taylor, Brian and Cole, and that maybe by being involved I could soak up some of that top-end poker achievement. Now it feels more like a large stable of moderate mid-level grinders and it takes the 'heart' out of it, and the fees certainly don't eclipse the irony of contributing as one of those.

I won a 7-night Vegas package on Ladbrokes earlier this month, and now they've added a VIP promotion and back-dated it to upgrade the flights and room and add limo-transfers, which sounds fantastic. I think while I'm in Vegas I'll check of there are any Cardrunners meet-ups and see if the community-feel in person re-motivates me.

I also decided to play the £500 festival event in Brightion this bank-holiday. Someone pointed out to me that all the local professionals are in a higher buy-in event in Ireland that day, so with a few prizes added to the pool by the sponsor it should be a good value event. I've also never been to Brighton before, hopefully it will be sunny and heading down a day early will turn it into a nice mini-break.
