Long time no post, just been filthy busy... My poker play has now reduced to 2.8% of my waking hours! According to faithfull pokercharts. Which simply is not good enough!
Reasons for lack of play are as follows,
1) February was a bad month, so my play normally is reduced when running bad. I lost $210 in February.
2) Trip to Vilinus, Lithuania. Went with friends. Was great fun, but only as a stag do/drinking trip. There is litterally no tourism there, and very little to do. Although I really liked the place, had a great time, great atmosphere, and was cool to catch up with a few of the guys I haven't seen so much off lately.
3) Trip to Val D'isere. Wicked snowboarding trip, I used to do a bit of skiing, but snowboarding is so much more fun! Val D'isere is a cool place, but very expensive. I probably rate Val Thorens slightly higher, but was a wicked trip, and two of my friends got engaged on the trip (opposite sexes!). Had a challet host called 'Roland' from Scotland. And my word, that boy was an immense cook. Other than that we were staying with a rubbish London couple and a punky dressed girl, who was 27 and still called her Dad, Daddy...
4) Work - Our busy season has left me with fewer poker playing hours!
Other things,
Requiem for a Dream - Watched this film recently. It is about the trouble with drugs, and is SAVAGE! But also a pretty cool film.
A Better Tomorrow - An 80's Korean film which is about Jap Mafia
Nikon D60 - I bought one of these recently. It's pretty rad, tho I'm not fully sure of it's capabilities yet... It's SOOOO complicated!
£75 freezeout - Played at the gutshot with 'CC' the night before Lithuania. No good. Pushed in with Q10 on a 10 8 x flop, when I knew the guy was strong. I was outplayed. But the tournament structure was AWFUL!
Summary: Anyways, I'm up a shade over $1,500 this year, so thats good. Few other real interesting poker issues, tho I won one of the few AA v KK moments for a $380 pot, which was nice!
Hopefully I'll post more sooner!!!
