Welcome mobsters, if you are reading this blog for the very first time, I thank you for your initial interest. I think that if you give it a little time, you will find something that will peak your interest.
I am a published author and I am currently working on several projects for publication, and will be discussing them on occasion in this blog. If you are a fan then I warn you, from time to time there will be spoiler book ideas discussed.
This year we continued the Lottery tradition from last year, where you could win MobPoints, MobDraw tickets and MobSafe shots. The way to get tickets to the lottery, would be if you won a prize in the Christmas Calendar that you were unable to use, for one reason or another.
Example: If you won a freeroll entry worth $15 you would get 15 tickets for the lottery if you decided to claim lottery tickets, instead of the actual prize.
The lottery in 2014 had the following prizes available:

2015 WSOP.
Posted on 26 December 2014 by "T".
The organisers of the World Series of Poker have released the schedule for next year's serie of poker events. 2015 WSOP begins on May 27 and runs until 14 July. The Main Event will kick off on July 5 and the winner is guaranteed to take home $10,000,000 just like this year. Monster Stack and Millionaire Maker, two tournaments that attracted over 8,000 players each this summer, will also be back next year.
Popular poker player and TV-reporter Kara Scott and PartyPoker are about to split up after 5 years together. Scott commented on the "break up" in her latest blog, "PartyPoker has gone through many changes and unfortunately as their focus shifted, there were fewer and fewer TV projects. As those shows disappeared, so did one of my favourite parts of the job and now my association with Party is ending."
It has been a strange 2014, with some good and some bad. Let's start with the bad for poker and I couldn't write a blog without mentioning Dan Blizerian, alleged cheater.
On Wednesday, 23 players returned to the Hilton Prague hotel for the third and final day of the record breaking $10,300 High Roller (309 entries). Several hours after Stephen Garner won the Main Event, a handful of players were still battling it out on the High Roller final table.
After finishing 6th and missing out on a million dollar payday in the WSOP Millionaire Maker tournament, Stephen Garner got his "revenge" yesterday when he won the EPT Prague Main Event for $1,207,620 (€969,000)!
In addition to the Main Event final table of 7 players, the remaining 23 players of the €10,300 High Roller will soon be returning to the Hilton in Prague for the final day of play. In other words, today marks the end of the EPT Prague festival.
The 2014 European Poker Tour Prague Main Event is down to 7 players after 5 long days of poker. Stephen Graner from the U.S. will be bagging up the chip lead when today's final table kicks off around noon.
Another day of action-packed poker has come to an end at the Hilton Prague hotel and now there are now only 22 players left from a field of 1,107 entries. The chip leader is Fabio Sperling with 4.3 million in chips, and his closest opponent is Stephen Graner with 3.2 million.
The European Poker Tour Prague Main Event has been running non-stop over the weekend. Today, after 3 intensive days of poker, the last 61 players of 1,107 entries will return to the poker tables and continue the battle for a seat at the final table, where €969,000 awaits the last man/women standing.
And so it becomes. That time of the year I really hate. Christmas.
That magical time, when we all celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, God's son who gave his life to save us all. That is how it started anyway. These days it is nothing but a commercial party lasting months in which we are all strongly encouraged to waste our money on over-extravagance.

Amaya, raid.
Posted on 12 December 2014 by "T".
According to Forbes, federal Canadian police officers and financial market regulators raided the headquarters of Amaya on Wednesday. Amaya spokesman Eric Hollreiser said in a statement that Amaya is cooperating in an investigation by the Autorité des Marchés financiers (AMF).
The third and final day of the EPT Prague Super High Roller saw the return of seven player from a 41-player field (+10 re-entries). All players were guaranteed a minimum payday of €128,565 and Russia's Leonid Markin held the chip lead when the cards were in the air. Although he didn't maintain the chip lead, Markin battled his way to heads up against Paul Newey after several hours of play.
A former Danish high-stakes poker player has been reported to the department of economical fraud in Denmark. The reason is that several players of the Danish poker community have found trojan horses on their computers that they believe were installed by the suspect in question. The accused could allegedly see the other players hole cards on different poker sites.
41 players (+ 10 re-entries) entered the 2014 EPT Prague Super High Roller for €50,000 a piece. 2014 WSOP Main Event winner Martin Jacobson were among the 35 players (32 from Day 1 + 3 new entries) who returned for Day 2, however, he ended up being eliminated on the final table bubble. Happies "bubble boy" in history?

Twitter and Instagram sensation Dan Bilzerian might have gotten himself in some trouble after a wild party in Miami last weekend. According to Daily Mail, the 34-year-old womanizer and high roller was banned from a Miami nightclub after allegedly kicking a women in the face while dancing on a platform. Celebrity and gossip site The Dirty claims that this video shows Bilzerian kicking a women in the face. The victim, who has remained anonymous, said that she would take legal action. Bilzerian has so far not commented on the incident.
The 2014 European Poker Tour Prague €50,000 Super High Roller drew a field of 41 players when it kicked off yesterday - seven of them even made rebuys during the first day. 32 players had chips left when the tournament director called it a day. Ivan Soshnikov, who entered the super high roller while he was still in the €1k Eureka main event, will lead the way to Day 2 with 905k chips.
The fact that Christmas is getting closer and closer doesn't mean that live poker tournaments are running slow at the moment. On Friday, on the second day of play, Jason Mercier had overcome a field of 11 players (+4 re-entries) to claim the title and $727,500 in the second annual $100,000 WPT Alpha8 St.Kitts.

My last blog post had me still going up but getting a lot of bad beats and giving me the feeling that I was swimming against the current. Right after that blog post things started to change and with my roll at $1125 I sat down at a NL50 table and started to feel my way around. At first not much was happening but after a while I hit on this hand:
