Batman returns

Everyone in the poker world knows me by my nickname of “The Dean”. In fact I am probably better known by this nickname more than my real name. But I used to have another nickname years ago and that was “Batman”. No…this has nothing whatsoever to do with the caped crusader or thwarting bad guys or whacking people in the street whilst being surrounded by speech marks.

I came by this nickname after my colleagues used to hear me talking about batting techniques whilst watching the Cricket and so the name “Batman” was born. I havent seen my old mates Eddie and Matt for years but I never forgot the name that they gave me.

Well “Batman” returned last night with a lovely $9700 win at $25-$50 NL. To be honest, I got lucky big time but erasing the loss from the other day whilst not being a priority is certainly nice and just what the doctor ordered. I dont know why but I actually felt nervy during the session and that hasnt happened for a while.

So what else has been happening, oh yes…..as of next month I will be a regular contributor to the 2+2 internet poker magazine. For those of you not in the know then 2+2 boasts probably the best collection of poker minds in the world bar none so it is a real honour to be asked to write in depth strategy articles for them which will go beyond the intermediate stuff that I do for my other sources.

But it is actually very refreshing to write advanced material but most magazines dont want it as it goes too far above the level of their average readers. So that has made me very happy simply because of the Kudos that is attached to it.

We will shortly be having a regular contributor to the blog in the form of James Davenport so I hope that you enjoy what he has to say.
