Hello darkness my old friend……….

Ok so it been forever since I last posted. In that time I haven’t really played that much poker online or live. I have managed to fit 2 trips to Vegas. The first one was for 2 weeks but I spent more time playing golf than poker. I did go with my then girlfriend so only played about 5 times.
When we got back me and my girlfriend broke up. It was kinda funny really because we were trying to work things out after we broke up and I moved out in Feb. That also was following a trip to Vegas. A common theme! She said she didn’t really feel the same and she couldn’t really handle the whole poker thing. It obviously hit home more when we were away and I wanted to go play. I did try and not play too much and just at times where it wouldn’t be to bad for her but it didn’t go down to well. In hindsight we probably should have set some guidelines to when I should have played and that way it may not have been as bad. That was about 2 months ago and we did continue to see each a couple of time a week. However I did go back to Vegas 2 weeks ago and that seems to have probably killed things off.

Vegas 2 weeks ago was good. I played lots of poker and was doing good and was up about $800. But I wanted to play a tournament which ended up costing me about $450 to get in. In that I waded through half the field and then ran 10s into queens. Overall I finished up about $200 which meant I came home with $20 less than I went with. Not too bad. I did feel like I played good for the most part. One crappy session at Mandalay Bay with my buddy Nic who was in town at the same time at that was mostly due to be over tired.

This weekend as been more or less a write off. Last night we had a Halloween party at our house and then went out to a pub after. I was completely hammered and have been hung over all week. I have managed not to be sick, but I have had a dodgy stomach for most of the day. I have just lazed around on the settee sleeping and watching TV. I have not been that drunk for a long time and I don’t even remember the end of the night or coming home. It was fancy dress and I had my face painted. I must have had a shower when I got in but I still had loads of paint all over me which was very hard to get off!!

Well that all for now just a quick update. I should write more but my laptop battery is about to die! I will post again soon with a new project I want to put in action for the next 5 months.
