Mini Rant!

Wrote this post over 2 weeks ago but it never got published. Since then i've been an a epic one week holiday in Istanbul with all the lads for my mates Mizons wedding. It was superb and just what i needed. Will write a blog about that and my plans for the next two months before moving out to Thailand in early Sept soon.

, poker is such a bastard sometimes. I've played a bunch of tourns in the last three days with little reward despite a ton of deep runs. On Tues, i managed to make five finals from about 20 odd comps, however i never really got into the decent money with the best results being a 3rd in a $50f for $1k and a 6th in a $30r for 700ish. I ended the night with a 1.8k profit but it should/could nearly have been anywhere between $6/8k. Wednesday i played a smaller session and again had a few deepish runs in some smaller stuff but finished down about three hundo. Tonight was fucking insane, ahhhh i'm still pissed off now tbh. I regged for around 25 comps but had to unreg about 8 of them because i was running and playing really well and at one point had 15 comps on the go and i can't handle that much tbh. Things then just fell apart and despite having stacks all over the place i didn't make one fooking final, abs brutal!

Things went from this....


...to this in about 2 hrs, fml...





Ended up with about $1k profit from the three days but that's not good enough especially having been pretty deep in alot of the games. I'm really starting to feel the pressure abit recently actually and my life roll is as low as i can remember it for a while, probably 4-5 yrs. This is due to a number of reasons....

Obv my volume is terrible, perhaps this is the kick up the ass i need? I haven't ran too good, (i hate that excuse) plus poker is tough these days and its gets harder and harder to make $$$ esp given my volume levels. I've had alot of trips abroad in the last 2 yrs which i don't regret one abit, its been amazing but these have taken their toll on my finances, plus i've also been hit with alot of unexpected bills. I obv don't receive any rent ££ from Scotch anymore since he moved out last yr and that's had an impact. I also used to make some nice pocket money from this blog and selling the occasional link or two, but haven't made a penny from that stuff for at least 6 months. My stakes i have brought recently in various fish haven't produced any results plus my horse is in $1.8k mu and owes me $700. I also have a friend who owes me around $3.5k and has done so for a loooong time despite me helping him out on numerous occasions. Adam i understand you're prolly in the shit atm but will you please get in contact with me at least out of respect if nothing else, you know how to get in touch. I can help you (again), trust me. Right, thats enough bullshit, back to Redtube. Cue the Amatay's going busto comments... :)

Ship The Villa!

Weeeeeeeeee, just pretty much secured a 6 month rental on this gaff from the first week of Sept in Phuket, Thailand. Its next to the same one as Joel (Jcar9271) lived in earlier this year with his wife. I met Joel who's a good lad when i was out there in Feb with Daledonksu and he's given me tons of sound advice, cheers mate! I've also stolen his fb pics for this post :)

The general plan is to use this villa as a our base in Thailand where we hope to relax, continue to earn a living online, go to the gym, meet new people and enjoy the sun, beach and basically live a nice life :) During the 6 months we also plan to backpack around most of Thailand and explore some of the other Islands and we will also be occasionally jetting off to other countries. After the 6 months we'll see? Hopefully we will go elsewhere and i'd particularly like to check out parts of South America, like Brazil, Costa Rica, Paraguay etc. Maybe finish our trip in Las Vegas for the 2012 WSOP and ship another balla apartment out there for 4 weeks or something, that would be the bollocks but we'll plan that nearer the time.

I'm going to rent my 2 bedroom flat out in Watford for a year anyways and tbh i don't think i will ever live here again and continue to rent it out and stay with friends when i get back to England, plans to do this already started last week. The villa has 3 bedrooms and sleeps five people apparently so anyone who we know and like is invited to come out for a free stay. Were not allowed to invite big groups and its quite a peaceful resort but there's lots of crazy action nearby. I know Brighton bummer Cogs has already reserved a spot in late Oct/early Nov. Oh, im travelling with that plum Cos btw (Greekstein), should be fun. Oh another thing is the cost of living here. It works out at about £350 each per month, lmfao!!! Weeeeeeeeeee.
