Back in England

Running bad at life...kind of!

Well everything is just breaking around me! I don't know what's up. First my car is a write-off, then my laptop packed-in and just now my watch has broke!

But that has kind of been one of the reasons I haven't updated my blog in a while. Just haven't had internet access.

But fear not beloved readers, I've just invested wayyyy too much in a sick new computer that should last me a few years at least. I can't wait to get grinding online again and this coupled with a new 30 inch monitor I also bought should help me ship some serious dollar online soon once again!

So I think the last time I updated was in the middle of my Vegas trip. To sum up very briefly, it was an amazing trip, ate at so many good places, gambled like a true degen and spewed epically at poker. What more could you ask for in a trip abroad? I'll try to upload some pictures when my new computer arrives either this week or next (seriously fingers crossed for this week).

Over the Summer then I unfortunately went 0/4 in my $1k's, cashed in a couple of Venetian $300's but fortunately won a fair chunk at live cash-games. Not that that mattered as I seemed to spend so much everyday eating out, partying etc. Regardless of that it was one hell-of-a-summer and I'd love to go back next year.

If I did go back next year though I would:

1) Rent a house off-strip again with the same guys as we had a blast

2) Rent a car for myself. In America you just need a car due to the infrastructure. They don't even have corner shops where you can pop-in to pick up a carton of milk or whatever making me almost completely reliant on getting my housemates to give me lifts everywhere or taking taxis. I felt like I was 14 years old again.

3) If I do rent a car then I can play way more events on the strip. I would hope my bankroll to be much larger than it is at the moment pre-WSOP next year. It would be pretty cool if I could do a full schedule playing all the WSOP $1ks, $1.5ks and a load more other events like Venetian deepstacks.

4) I would spend less time getting drunk and pit-gambling. I expect I lost a lot pit-gambling and we were going out getting drunk about 4-5 times a week at some points. Obviously it was a ridiculously fun summer but I could probably get the same fun out of 2 nights away and really focus harder on the very soft poker while I'm out there next time. And ofcourse less pit-gambling as as a professional, I just can't be doing with turning into the next TJ Coutier.

5) If I'm grinding a heavy live schedule I expect I'll limit myself to just playing online on Sundays only. I didn't play online that much, not that I could help it near the end of the trip after my laptop decided to fail on me, but I kind of needed to so as to off-set the variance of the slightly higher-live buy-ins I was playing. Hopefully next year this won't be as much of an issue and I can spend my off-days chilling by the pool etc (not that I didn't spend too much time anyway on that).



Anyway so yeh, I'm back in England, waiting patiently for my new computer to come and kind of bored. I managed to somehow graduate with a 2:1 but other than that I've just been DTD a couple of times and made a couple of hundred playing cash and managed to min-cash in a £40rebuy there on Friday. But just can't wait to get back online grinding again. Going to be hella fun!

Have fun at the tables all.
