And so the annual SCOOP championships on Poker Stars reached its conclusion this past week. Although I played a relatively light schedule, it turned out to be a really successful series for me. I made two final tables - taking 5th in the $109 1r1a PLO turbo and 3rd in the $2100 NLO8 - and had a number of other deep runs.
My recent success underlines the importance of remaining positive even when things aren't going your way. I was actually in the midst of a downswing until SCOOP came around - now my MTT stats are the best they've ever been. I'm ranked inside the top 500 (from over 1 million players).
The online grind will take a back seat soon. I'm flying out to Vegas, then on to Mexico for a beach holiday with my girlfriend, before returning to LV to hit up some tournaments. It will be great to go back to one of my favourite cities in the world - but definitely need that beach time first!
I will leave you with my new MTT stats (next stop 99.99%!!!)
