Blog Post for the WBCOOP entry - How I would spend the $5000 best blogger prize.

Five thousand dollars is a large sum of money to me, so at first I would not really be sure what to do with it all.  I think first of all I'd have to give a small percentage to parents for their help and support that they have given me.  I am also a big fan of tennis and although my house does not have enough room for a tennis court, i would love to have a table tennis table that will go with the pool table and dart board.
Of course I would put a sum into my pokerstars account so that I can learn to progress my game up out of the micro stakes and into the low to medium stakes where the strength of play is a lot greater.  it would be great if I could win that money as it would allow me to have a bankroll that is a lot higher so the poker tournament series, such as the TCOOP and SCOOP and WCOOP would be a lot more fun and intersting to me, because it would allow me to play in a lot more events then I would have used to have previously played.  I would have to be very strict on my bankroll management however as lots of dollars can easily be lost at those stakes... and very quickly I may add.
Also I think that I need a comfier place to play poker - especially when I am grinding the MTT's on Pokerstars as I can be sat at my laptop for quite a few hours on end, with just a five minute break every hour, because I usually find myself to be slouched over and have a curved spine, which could result into poor posture and back problems in later life.  Therefore a comfy chair would be a neccesity.
Some of the money would have to go into my savings account as I need to keep saving for future events in my life, so that I am not struggling to get by.
Gaming is a thing that I enjoy quite a lot, as it brings me some nice relaxation time ( I am not a hardcore, intense gamer), so I may splash out a small bit of that money on some new xbox games or perhaps the reasonably new xbox kinnect as that looks quite fun.

Finally I think I would go on a vaction.  This holiday would have to be abroad and out of the United Kingdom, because I love travelling to new places.  So far I have not been out of Europe and would love to explore the world further.  The United States of America would be a good option as there are lots of tourist attraction spots and cool stuff to see.  Asia and Africa would also bring an expierence as it would be very intesting to see the various cultures and how other people live their daily lives.

So in conculsion the five thousand dollars will give me lots of things from expierence, fun to learning more about the ultimate game that is... poker.
