Just my Cardmates blog 2026

Hi all,

Thought I’d finally stop lurking and put a few words down. I’m Tom from Reading and I play online poker as an amateur, mostly in the evenings once things settle down. Poker for me is a way to switch off rather than chase anything serious. I’ve always liked freerolls. There’s something about sitting down with nothing on the line that makes the game feel lighter. Alongside that, I enjoy a bit of sports betting, mainly football, usually at the weekend. Sometimes it goes well, sometimes it doesn’t, but that’s part of the fun. I’ve recently signed up to Cardmates.co.uk and decided to start a blog here. I’ll drop in from time to time with a few thoughts or updates as I go.

Cheers and good luck at the tables.
