new blog, be prepared for the ugly truth

Hello. I am starting a new blog about my life, mostly online poker. I've written a few blogs online over the years stating exactly who I am, but now due to certain reasons I don't really need to divulge, I am going to restart all over again and hope to remain pretty anonymous to potential fellow poker players who may find it. 

Some of my past blog readers could probably guess quite easily who I am after a while, so for that reason I won't get too precise in many details, such as month's results, who may be in any hands I post, and so on, for a while at least, that may change in the future. I'm currently backed so that's the main reason. If I get to the point I'm own diming again...well we'll see.

I've played poker online and pretty much made a living from it (my only income) since around 2009 (although to start off I was also claiming benefits/welfare, but stopped that after a while). Predominantly my main games have mostly been MTT sit'n'gos, with a few MTT's thrown in (mostly turbo), and most of it on the lovely believable site that is called Pokerstars. Before the yanks decided to destroy the poker world in 2011 then a big % was played on Full Tilt Poker as well. 

I've always felt I've gotten the rough end of things. Despite eeking a living out of it, I'm a huge believer that online poker "random number generators" are simply not random at all, they are massively and, to me, quite obviously always putting out boards that are in direct relation to the players' cards that are left in the hand/get to showdown, and I've probably had in excess of 4+ million hands experience now for that opinion to have no sign of ever changing.  

However, despite this virtually unshakeable belief, and as many people like to question whenever I'm ranting about it, I still insanely seem to soldier through, maybe in hope that some day the rig artists will finally flick on my boomswitch for me to not have to quit and get a "real job". Sadly, however, that time is getting closer and closer by the day, with my past 12-24 months having been in rent arrears across an awfully long period of it (currently up to date). Had it not been for a rather accomodating landlord of late, who knows where I might be now. 

K so I'm mostly going to be coming on here to rant endlessly about bad beats, how the system cheats me over and over, and whatever else I feel like getting off my chest. Whoever happens to stumble upon this no doubt barrage of offence and insult of a blog, may well regret ever clicking, or they may find it quite entertaining and humorous. Either way, I've hit a nerve :)
