Hello again........
Hello, Masterbaker reporting in!
It's been a busy week, both in the bakery and at the poker tables!
Just in the process of closing down and selling up the bakery at the moment, had had to do a lot of batches for the sandwich shops I was talking about, not fun but its been helping me increase my roll, by selling rolls! hahahahaha.....
I have been playing .25./.50 plo, and a bit of 0.5/1.0 over the last week or so and have actually made $2400, and $1200 playing nl $0.5/1 and a bit of $1/2! So a very good week considering I have been working a lot of the time!
Life has been pretty good, I am going to trade in my Rover Metro for a new car too, beacause quite frankley is it terrible and SO DIRTY from day to day bakery tasks! Now I am playing poker I guess I have to look a little bit more like "ballsy" (?) or whatever the young kids go on about!!! Will wait till I sell up the bakery equipment though and the business, don't own the building as its on a leasehold unfortunately :(, got to pay off Maggie too (server/cleaner) and my apprentice baker....
Also, been on a date this week! Its been pretty lonely by myself, so ventured out into the wide world to a nice little local Italian, had 4 courses, whilst she only had 2, so probably looked a bit greedy! Had a good time, she might be a little bit old for me, as she is in her 50's and I actually met her working as she comes in to buy cakes every so often, very strange!!!!! Not sure if she was too keen though, I was quite drunk as had 2 bottles of wine and was being rather full on!! Didn't get anywhere though, and not seen her since! Dough!!! (HAHAH)
Anyway I promised pictures of Jackie:
Hahahaaahaha, this isn't him really!!! Here is he:
This is when we went for a walk, was so good! I love him!! He sometimes watches poker on tv with me! Also goes mad when sees Phil Ivey!!! Must know talent when he sees it.... I hope hes barking for that reason anyway!!!
This week, I am going to talk about my favourite poker sites thus far:
William Hill - Pretty good, have been winning a bit on here, but I think too many outdraws and too many big hands!!!! played some of those 6 seat things and the hands were SO SILYL!!!!
Betfair - Buggy and bad!!!! Really ugly on my eyes!!! Games seem quite good though, and Like playing there because of the ppl they sponser as well, one day I will win one of their bounty tournaments I hope!!!
PartyPoker - Crashed my computer
Poker Stars - OKAY, GOOD LOYALTY SCHEME, TRIED TO QUALIFY FOR MILLION ONCE!!
Full Tilt - Okay, I like the dog graphic, makes me laugh when hes happy!!
Ladbrokes - Don't really like this... end up doing my money on ladbrokes bingo and other casino games as well as betting!!!!!
Mansion Poker - VERY BAD GAMES.... never really go, but those tounraments meant to be good but i ain't very good at them!!!! I need coaching! ;) (WINK WINK)
If you want my opinion on other sites, please leave comment and i'll try and help out as best as I can!!!
PLANS FOR THIS WEEK
Hmmm, going to have to work a bit, in at work tomorrow at 10am!!! (its 2:40am now but I have been playing!!!!!) Sunday might try some tournaments, shut all day! (YESSS) gonna take Jackie out too, and try nad get in contact with that girl! Then next week will hopefully be the last and I have my leaving lil doo on Friday, few mates and Maggie/John going out with us, will try and put up some pics!!!! Can't wait, going to be awful I hope!!
Best of luck and thanks as ever for reading,

A New Start!
Hello!!! Masterbaker here!
The oven is off, the computer is on, as I switch my attention from baking bread to raising dough! Over the coming months, I hope to update you in my quest to become one of the poker world's finest! I will attempt to knead my dough slowly and reep the rewards! The yeast is my poker skill, as I destory opponents whilst seeing my dough quickly rise! Exciting times ahead!
Here is a picture of my new setup:
Hahahahah, only joking, here is a picture of my real new setup, I have labelled it for you all to see: (you might have to click it!)
I really like my setup, I love gatorade, had have upgraded my monitor from a 15" to my lovely Viewsone 19", which I am very proud of! I thought it would be good having a tv next to my setup, in case I got bored in tournaments just cause I start moving all in if I don't have something else to do!!! I moved that tv from my lounge as that was my main tv, and put in a brand new 24" Hitachi! Which is real nice....
I mostly play $0.50/$1.00 NL and $0.25/0.50 PLO online but hope to move up the limits rather fast and be playing near 25-50 NL and 10/20 PLO within a year.
I really think I can do this, as I have great mentality, and have always done really well making new recipies and getting a lot of customers, so I think I know how certain styles work together and can get in people's heads! I once convinced a large chain of local sandwich shops to use 100's of my loafes every day, even though they were terrible and I skimped on the ingrediants, hahahaha! So i can definately bluff!!!!
I am single and 42 and live with my dog in a nice little house in Devon, near Tavistock.
Here is a pic of me carrying some flour before I start baking:
I hope I get a lot of readers, because I think I will do really well in poker, and be famous some day, then you can all say you read the bakerman's blog in the old days!!
My Favourite poker players are:
Devilfish (Very good tournaments)
Anne Duke (Really respect this lady!! She has fought though the disability of being a woman in a world dominated by men and is truely amazing at the game!)
Men The Master (He might be percieved as horrible man by some people, but he has excellent read on the game and I love his mind games!! Zoink!!!)
Ben Grundy (I have read his blog for ages, and he is who has gotten me into ohama, he is superb player online and very good blog!!)
Tomer Benvenisti (He has seen past his blindness, lol, and can still play the game and hes VERY good at it!!)
Phil Hellmuth (11 bracelets, need I say more!)
Doyle Brunson (The Grandad of Poker...He is a legend, and i like old ppl, my grandad died a long time ago though!)
Thanks for reading, I will post more pics next week and even of my dog, he is so cute!!!
Anyway, good luck at the tables,
I am going to start playing now, will post results tomorrow,
Cheers,
The Bakerman
