After a not so hot start to February - lots of 69er Final Tables but far too many 5ths-9ths - a trip to my family in Durrow, Co. Laois last weekend finally got me into the black for the month.

The arrival of wireless internet - a very exotic thing in Ireland's midlands - meant that I didn't have to freeze my ass off in my father's office to play poker. Instead, I commandeered the kids play-room (or 'internet cafe' as I now call it) which is directly under his office and gets a decent signal. Two nights ago, I made a bunch of $69 and $24 Final Tables, winning 3 and placing well in a sprinkling of others. Last night, I won a couple of $24 games and went deep in the $22,500 Guarantee but fell just short of the Final Table, taking 11th.

It has been a month since I hit a decent MTT score but I'm not worrying as since coming to Ireland, I have played shorter sessions and therefore way fewer big tourneys. That said, I'm going to have a crack at the FTOPS Turbo Event in an hour's time. This crazy wee $200 tourney will only take 4 hours despite having a field of over 3000 players. First gets over 100K so not a bad hourly rate?
