Hmmmm

I seem to have missed out November and December in my blogging and for that I’m very sorry! It’s been a crazy busy time with moving to the USA so that’s my excuse. How long can I use it for?

I’ve been out of the UK for a couple of months now and although I’m really happy with the southern California sunshine I definitely have withdrawal for the British shores. To keep my mind OFF of the moping I’ve been trying to stay occupied with work. While in the UK in September and October I was lucky enough to be asked to present the WSOPE for ESPN, then I hosted the PKR Heads Up Grand Slam followed by an awesome week working with Party Poker on their World Open V. Upon settling in the USA I played on Poker After Dark – the commentators edition and then hosted the new season of High Stakes Poker. I have a sneaking suspicion that people are going to be seeing rather a lot of me in the near future!

Poker After Dark is airing on NBC this week and truthfully, I’ve been petrified about watching it. I’m far more comfortable with my ‘hosting’ duties than I am having people watch me play poker. It’s not been too terrible so far although I can see glaring examples of where my nerves definitely affected my play. It’s funny, I really didn’t expect to feel so intimidated but sitting down at that famous table and seeing all the cameras…. definitely sweaty palms time.

Anyhow, things are cracking on and it looks like 2010 is going to be a busy one so I’m getting a bit of rest while I can. While much of the poker population is fighting lost baggage, food poisoning and poor weather (if all of the twittering is to be believed) I’m sitting in a cozy cabin in Tahoe getting my relax on.

Happy New Years Everyone!!
