  I've been meaning to catch up on the blog for a couple of week now and have finally gotten around to it. I've a lot to cover so forgive me if this blog is a little disjointed.  We'll start with online where I've been grinding a lot recently in between live events. I'm playing mostly online with my sponsors KKpoker and had a good few tournament wins in the last month.    recent online scores KKpoker are currently running satellites where you can win packages for their upcoming Bratislava Poker Festival but be quick as there's only a few chances left. The festival runs  16th to 21 July  I'm really enjoying playing on the site and all my friends who have signed up are very impressed with the software.  KKpoker provide an excellent smooth and fast playing platform, instant rakeback for all players and non-stop bonuses.  If you'd like to sign up to KKpoker and play with me on the site please use my sign up link  https://kkpoker.club/cookiejar    .

  It's been a hectic few weeks since my last blog covering the Irish open. Three stops on the Irish Poker tour each resulting in Final table appearances including a trophy. A very enjoyable week spent playing poker in Malta with a couple of good cashes followed by a weeks holiday in Majorca.  recent cashes I also managed to fit in two live satellites for Irish Poker Tours €400,000 Guaranteed Portugal adventure Festival which runs 18/24 June with a €700 Main Event. I won a €1500 package in the Eglington Casino Galway two weeks ago and picked up another package last weekend In the Sporting Emporium Dublin where I beat my good mate and great player Fintan Gavin to win a €2,000 package. Trophy Eglington The Irish Poker Tour had a convenient stop in my local The Eglington Casino Galway the week after the Irish Open. I managed to bag myself my first tour trophy of 2024 in the € 275 + 25 Pot Limit Omaha - 8-Max. First prize was €3,250. My friend Liam "Chevi" Chevalier coming thi

The Festival Before I go into my poker for the week I'd like to congratulate JP McCann & Paul O'Reilly for putting on such a wonderful festival this year.  Last year was the first Irish Open post Covid and also saw a change of venue from the City West to Royal Dublin Society (RDS). It was a big change for organisers and players alike and the 2023 event had a lot of teething problems. I was very happy to see the 2024 festival had sorted these issues out and more. This years event went so smoothly. Everything form choice and timing of side events to the excellent players lounge and entertainment was top class.    I didn't think it was possible to improve the legacy of the Irish Open in this venue but JP & Paul have proved me wrong and deserve great plaudits for the 2024 offerings. Catching up with Friends My Main Event € 1,150 No Limit Hold'em - Irish Open Main Event (Event #11) had 3,233 entries which broke all records. I think 8 bullets were the maximin amount

Lots of Cashing I had some lovely runs in the tournaments that I played over the month of march but ultimately fell a little short in all. My sponsor had a great online series early in the month. My best finish was 9th of the 3200 entrants in the 100k Guaranteed PKO event.      A nice run but just a little shy of a big payout. The series was a great great success for KKpoker and more and more Payers are enjoying this excellent Poker Client.  If you'd like to sign  up to KKpoker please use my sign up link  https://kkpoker.club/cookiejar   If you sign up using this link, contact me on Facebook or Instagram with your username and I'll add $20 to your account straight away. European Deep Stack / Dublin poker festival  The festival started with the ACOP tournament. I struggled to get a stack in this one grinding a small stack towards the money bubble. I thought I was the bubble boy but another player existed the same hand so it was the minimal of min-cashes here for me with a spli

London £ 1,650 Pot Limit Omaha - London Omaha Championship - Final Table London was a great week for me resulting in two rewarding performances.  I managed to get the most money the the £ 1,650 Pot Limit Omaha - London Omaha Championship - 7-Max coming in 3rd for £18,302. A lovely score after a batting performance which saw me go from the short stack on the bubble to chip leader when an ICM deal was

  Cookie Jars New Blog Hello everyone and welcome to my new Blog. 2024 begins with a new sponsorship deal with KKPoker for me. I am very grateful to KKPoker for the chance to represent the brand over the coming year. I will produce regular blog updates throughout the year documenting for myself, friends and family the ups and downs of my poker adventures in 2024. 2023 was a hugely successful year for me culminating with first place finishes in both the “Irish Poker Tour” league and playoff finals. I’ve been around this game too long to take such victories for granted. If I can achieve anywhere near as much this year, it’ll will be a good year. This is my interview after these wins and contains a lot of background information on me for those who don’t know me..   As I said in that interview I had obviously played and ran very well last year. Like every poker player on a good run there’s always a worry in the back you your mind if things will run the opposite way and I start playing
