I like Bond18's. he's a MTTer from australia

he writes very good trip reports and has a series of articles called "things it took me a while to learn" which deals with different aspects of tournaments such as opening ranges, dealing with stack sizes etc.

Although he is also now posting a blog on the gutshot website (links from the above website).

Brilliant writing as much as anything, not the greatest poker content though.

In Ireland, I just read BigCityBanker's one recently and it is quite laugh-out-loud funny, but also quite informative.

Is there any other good Irish ones?

Looks good but reminds me of my pet hate about blogs. They are all designed to suit loyal readers only. i.e. if I find a blog I want to read and I want to read from the start to the end then I need to go to the last page, scroll to the bottom, read the last post (scrolling down as I do), then scroll back up to the second post and read that, scrolling up again for the third post and so on. I'm not saying showing the latest post at the top of a blog is wrong it's just the idea of presenting visitors with an option to view it in the other order seems to be beneath all blogs for some bizarre reason. [/rant]. I'm off to scroll hop/read that blog for a bit then.

Use an rss reader like google reader and set it to read oldest first.

Andy Ward has written some very good mtt pieces and has some good Pokerxfactor links on his Secrets of the Amateurs blog

Yeah what the hell we need to read peoples writings online indirectly now Anyway that Bond18 guy is funny. A good read:-

A round later the blinds go up to 4/800 and in early position Kathy liebert raises 1675 of her 1700 chips leaving one green left on her cards. A guy in seat 10 asks, in a fairly soft and quizzical nature “why didn’t you just put it in?” Kathy then takes this as some form of insult and retorts “I don’t have to put it in! This is what I want to raise” Then the dealer becomes confused “wait, is this an all in?” Then people on the table begin chiming in “well its basically an all in, it should be an all in” This goes on for quite some time with the dealer counting down her chips and people getting confused and her getting insulted then people trying to clarify with her that they weren’t trying to insult her. I stand up from the table and waltz around, telling anyone who’ll listen “this is what I [censored] hate about live poker, this is just ridiculous.” This whole matter is just so absurd, and yet it takes several minutes. Eventually some guy calls her, and on a board of like 56863 it goes check/check the whole way down and Kathy flips up TT and the guy AQhh. I guess she missed a 25 chip value bet? Who knows, it’s live, he probably would have folded.

Lol, i was gonna post a reply like this in the bad beat section afew days ago but i was too lazy. I'v never met flipper, but i like the guy already when I see the retards who post in his comments section. You know your doing something right if you are pissing off people who are sad enough to set up a spoof blog out of petty spite. Cork people LOL.
