I don't really like putting non poker stuff on my blog, but i guess the last post had people/friends guessing why i returned from Vegas, after looking forward to it for so long.

My Mum passed away after a long battle with a terminal illness. I was lucky enough to make it back just in time to see her. Of course, when things like this happen, poker isn't important.

At some point i'd like use poker to raise some money for the hospice that looked after her so well during her last 6 months, i'll think about that in the future.

So sorry to hear about your mum. When you come to try to raise funds for the hospice, let me know if I can help in any way. At the very worst I might be able to get you a bit of publicity and support. Cheers. MB
