To cut a long story short, I busted from the Aussie Millions main event yesterday. I guess you can’t win it every year… right? It was a really strange day that ended somewhat anticlimactically when Gavin Griffin knocked me out, but there were definitely a couple highs in there including getting it in with a set of kings to a turned straight and making my full house on the river and...A year on from the Aussie Millions win...
It’s been a little while since my last blog post. Since then I’ve been taking it easy and trying to get myself in a good mindset for the Aussie Millions. I’ve kept the poker playing to a minimum, although, I did go reasonably deep in the APPT Grand Final in Sydney. In that, I busted in around 30th place when I got it in with to Daniel Negreanu’s . I had a short medium stack...A guide to satelliting into the Aussie M...
The satellites to the Aussie Millions are starting this weekend and given that at about this time last year I won my seat through a $640 PartyPoker satellite and that I then went on to win the tournament, I wanted to give my thoughts on the qualification process. A good bankroll management rule that I made up when I was starting out was that I couldn’t enter a tournament where...Thoughts on the new anonymous heads up t...
Maybe it’s just me but when I think about something done anonymously it takes me back a few hundred years in time to some grand masquerade ball in Venice….. Okay, it’s just me, but I like the image, so that’s how I’m going to keep on thinking about the new anonymous heads-up tables on Partypoker. The truth is that even though we can play online poker from...Just want to erase the memory of WSOP Af...
Yikes, I just want to erase the memory of the WSOP Africa main event as quickly as possible so I’m writing this 10 minutes after busting. Struggled to win a pot in the first 3 levels, not that it really matters because the blinds are so small relative to the stacks, but had a few really aggravating spots with good second best hands and ended up going out to a guy who had just...Good to cash and turn a profit for the t...

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last blog. Since then, I’ve played in the EPT London, come home from London, spent a couple days at home, then gone to Melbourne over this last weekend for the ANZPT Melbourne.
London was great, but my tournament results weren’t really. In hindsight, there are only a couple hands that I can legitimately say I wasn’t happy...
WSOP Europe Main Event: The toughest fie...
The WSOPE Main Event was without a doubt the toughest field I’ve ever seen. Through the 2 and a bit days and the 5 different tables I played at only 2 players stick in my memory as being below average, and in the grand scheme of things they really weren’t all that bad. During the second break on the first day I realised that my usual style for these major live tournaments of...Tyron Krost: The strangest hand I’...

It’s been over a week since my last blog post. Since then I’ve played in Partypoker’s World Poker Open – a rather forgettable experience – and the English Poker Open another unspectacular result. I’m not getting too irritated though, it’s basically been a run of unlucky situations.
Overall, I’ve played pretty well, although I’ve...

The first day of the WPT London seemed to go really well. I got paid off on a few hands and didn’t really seem to lose many pots overall. I finished the day with just over double the starting stack which put me in good position going into day 2.
That was a really good result. but considering how tired I was for the last couple hours, I was pretty ecstatic about it.
I only flew in...

I’ve been in Melbourne for the Victorian Championship since Monday night and played a couple of the side events so far. The first event I played was the NLH/PLO $240/100 rebuy, I was expecting quite a big field but I think it’s fair to say that the field size was a fairly disappointing less than 50.
These events are definitely fun to play, but increasing the blinds every...
