WBCOOP $5000 Blogger Prize
 
Question; What would I do with $5000.

 Answer; Firstly, I’d buy Victoria Coren’s ‘For richer, for poorer’, goodness only knows I could do with a blogging and writing role model.

 After that  I’d check out a course in creative writing, as‘boy’ do I need to up skill my abilities as a blogger. I mean check out my blogs from the last year……terrible and that’s just the grammar and speling!


Then to treat Mrs Shaggle, (or Fraggle_Red4 as some of you might know her) who is just learning the dark arts of NLH, she seems to have taken a recent shine to a certain Kid Poker, but I guess curling up with his latest offering of ‘more Hold’em Wisdom for all players’ couldn’t hurt….could it?

 Then to sign up for a UKIPT event. Decisions, decisions…London or Newcastle? I guess, Newcastle, as its being played at my home casino Aspers.

 But hey, what about a little trip? And a few satellites for some EPT and WPT events. I hear Madrid is a lovely place to visit and the PCA event recently whet my appetite for travel.
 
Maybe even a trip to Vegas and my ambition of winning a WSOP bracelet. Reports of an epic final table battle as the short stack knocking out Mercier, Heinz, Katchalov, Selbst, Grospellier, Russo, Texas Dolly  and then the Poker Brat himself to take the spoils. Well everyone has to dream, as it’s our dreams that keep us alive.

 But, I really do need to get out more and meet people, so I guess purchasing an Ipad2 and downloading the new Pokerstars app would help me get out and about. I might even make some new friends, who knows?


Then to turn towards something for the house, a little conversion work for the garage and my very own little poker room with a bar. Cliché but what the hell, I deserve it. I could use my FPP to get some cards and chips, then for a festival of poker ‘a la Maison du Shaggle’. I could invite my twitter friends, maybe Pokerstars could re-tweet my invitation, hmm….that might just work.

 Then a whole new set up in the study with a state of the art PC, three 22” screens, just like Nanonoko during his recent world record attempt, just the thing for multi tabling on my favourite site, and lets  no forget a 42” plasma for the wall and watching the ‘Big Game’.


Then finally with what’s left, let’s bolster my online bank roll. I fancy a crack at the nosebleeds someday so a good opportunity to help chip me up never goes a miss. I’m sure that ‘Mrsweet28’, ‘Isildur1’ and ‘Illari Fin’ are already all a quiver with fear or is that anticipation?

 Well, that seems to have seen off the $5000 rather rapidly. I’d better get back to the tables and chip it up some more. 

See you at the felt and I hope ‘you run hotter than lava’ and  'lmayet your rivers run
full of boats’.
